Sure, you can send whatever you want... but is there any off-the-shelf solution that can display encrypted messages?

Plus, VHF signals can get where no LTE or satellite can arrive, even if you are two floors underground. Downside is that anybody can read POCSAG, especially nowadays with inexpensive SDR receivers...

Win9x could login to a domain-based network... The NT4 login dialog looks like those of NT3.51 or Windows 2000 (and XP Pro if you switch do a domain-based login). See e.g. the one of Windows 2000 (on a machine visible not jointed to a domai

Exactly, EDIT.COM from Win9x had an incredibly useful binary mode (EDIT /xx filename), where xx is the number of columns to display. I'm really missing it in modern windows... it's very useful to sometimes quickly binary patc

Country from IP is usually based on public whois information about the IP range. No spyware involved. For city-level it gets more complicated. Every provider of IP geo-localization has its own way of doing it. I guess google uses aggregate

Hacker news ;-) But I guess there's no OAuth or other similar function on HN... More seriously, personally none of them, I don't have accounts on any "usually used" login providers. Just allow local accounts.

Agreed, but why embedding them in the video stream? Missing a proper subtitle support where the videos are supposed to be played?

by ale42 3y ago
Good question, I'd have to try. Usually I simply don't want to see subtitles, unless the audio is in a foreign language I don't speak, or if I want to quickly check a video (e.g. a tutorial) without having audio, like during

by ale42 3y ago
I guess some people like this kind of videos, personally I can't stand it. Flashing subtitles that just look like an interference. I want to watch the video, not the damn subtitles. At a bare minimum, they should be optional!

Bandwidth wouldn't be so much an issue I think (didn't measure though). Wondering more whether the CPU load required to generate the maps in real time would fit on a machine from that epoch.

The problem is when developers having virtually no background in actual computer science (e.g. algorithm complexity) start implementing their own algorithms because what thy want is not directly available as a primitive. I have the impressi

I see the point concerning the limitations of what a PWA can do, but as here it's a question on snooping on emails... it probably wouldn't make any difference on that matter.

I'm not sure the PWA would bring any privacy advantage?

As far as I understand it the proposal doesn't mandate any attestation that the end user's device actually has a TPM or stores the key in there?

mmWave doesn't cross walls very well, what's the point if you have to install infrastructure inside buildings anyway? Plus, indeed, companies really prefer to have their own stuff, also because of reliability (what if the 5G carri

The PC I was using in the late 90s had probably 32 MB of RAM after an upgrade... when I built a PC (2001?) with 512 MB it was looking like an infinite amount of RAM...
