Having read this blog in the past, I imagine the author was sarcastic on this one.

To what do these conditions apply? To any content edited within Adobe software, or to content stored in Adobe cloud?

A Yubikey is very convenient to use to carry around keys between several computers in a relatively safe way. One can use it because of its practical side rather than because they have super sensitive data on their home computers.

Currently the fritz.box domain seems to be owned by AVM (the makers of the FritzBox). Maybe it was just not existing and the local resolver on the box got confused? The domain was created in January and updated only a few days ago so things

Are they still? I did try on a 5490 a few years ago and it totally ignored the pulses... an older one accepted the pulse dialling but it was not working all the time. Just tried with a single phone so maybe it was the phone ;-)

EDIT: actually not ZModem, but it supports X/YModem -- source code, despite the comment at its beginning, finally says "Sorry, zModem not available yet" yes and also X/Ymodem, see source code: https://elixir.b

You should probably try what one of the few online demos of IP geolocation tell about your IP... (just to cite one among many, quality varies a lot across services and geographic zones: https://www.maxmind.com/en/locate

Politicians wont care (or would actually support this kind of laws), so they wont trigger article 50. Unless citizens start to complain loud enough, maybe.

Not sure if the systems programming mentioned by the OP includes drivers, but AFAIK the standard language for drivers is C/C++. Not that it's impossible to use C# (see https://github.com/ZeroLP/WDK.NET ), but

This was very common in the past. People abused 1.0.0.0/24 because it was unused. There was even one of the big ISPs in Italy assigning such addresses for their customers for CGNAT...

Lol, when I was seeing them around as a teenager I was thinking to DIZ as "dizionario" in Italian (dictionary)... of course, had I thought a bit more, I could have figured out that it was probably not Italian.

Not sure about BASICA, but GWBASIC definitely had this ",A" at the end of the filename to save in text format. It even had a ",P" flag to save in "protected" tokenized format (which you can't "officia

MS is a publicly traded company. If the company exposes itself to a potential huge fine by wrongdoing on one of their markets, that's totally something the SEC can be interested in.

Some providers actually need a password. Not everybody supports OAuth -- Thunderbird does, and can use it when it's available.

Isn't it better to just use 7z instead, which can encrypt filenames without tricks?

Has this been observed in other countries too or just in USA/North America? Exposure to various chemicals and food habits are vastly different, if those are the source (which are the first culprits I'd consider) of cancer increase

It can matter if you can trust them to do the proper thing, i.e. if you assume they are not a malicious entity. In this case, checking the server source code can give experts insights about possible security risks. If you assume they are ma

Because doing proper crypto is VERY hard. You might think you've gotten the ultimate security and one year later someone will defeat it (or cryptanalize within a practical limit, which boils down to the same), because you forgot a deta

All true. But where are the sources of Telegram server? They are not open source, simply! What are they actually doing with our messages? Only they know. And they can read them because by default there's no E2E encryption.

If you self-host your email, you can use "." as a delimiter instead of the "+". People would already need to know they can strip that part...

I think that nowadays most spam lists come from data breaches and address-collecting malware. It's cheaper than running a bot to scan the web for addresses. We get spam on addresses that were never published online.

I'm not totally sure why, but it was free for nonprofit research (university) use until 1-2 years ago. Now it's still cheaper than for the rest of the users, but still very expensive also for researchers.
