How did he get the videos out of the cameras that were seized if the recording was also not uploaded? Can Nest cameras upload/stream to private servers? (never had one so I have no idea)

Someone already mentioned the mouse cursor... is it supposed to be solved? Now I see... none, which is kind of pointless on desktop.

What does this bring compared to apt-get install-ing an established mail server like procmail or exim and configuring it to work as a relay for the local LAN?

An e-mail address can have multiple @ also for... source routing. Of course it doesn't make any sense nowadays, but it's technically allowed. RFC 5321 gives an example: @hosta.int,@jkl.org:userc@d.bar.org This is a valid e-

Weren't similar techniques already used years ago by malvertizers to hide malicious code into images published for ads so it wouldn't be detected? (although it might have been more like steganography)

It seems the site basically doesn't do anything for IPv6 :-( I see the same problem with rDNS. The box at the top correctly reports the DNS name as "forward-confirmed" but I see a -5 points penalty for missing reverse DNS. Tr

Can the same version of Word now produce the same rendering on two PCs? In the past (I didn't really check recently, I'm thinking more about 10 years ago) the same file might have had page breaks in different positions and things

The VoIP landline seems a way better solution than the proprietary Tin Can phone: while it looks nice, it apparently needs a subscription to call regular numbers... and AFAIK you can't call it from a normal phone (please correct me if

Well, the point of the landline phone (at least to some parents) is also that it has no screen, and has actual buttons, and stays home... for cell phone, we have prepaid SIM cards that are actually usable (in many EU countries credit doesn&

Nice interface at a first glance, for sure can be useful for users who would find using the actual thing too cumbersome. How does performance compare to the native app? Is any form of hardware decoding/encoding like h264_nvenc availabl

0.4 what latency? 0.4 s or 0.4 ms, or something else? Because if it's 0.4 ms, that seems to be very local, and possibly even impossible on LTE because of network latency. I'm not even sure 5G manages to get under 1 ms of latency.

Which means, it's urgent that more and more people realize there are alternative to the everything-on-the-phone situation they live in. And that owning one is not mandatory and should not be (by the way, politicians should also wake up

Or if you want to play a bit, have a browser with some extension that breaks websites and show them "it doesn't work on my phone". Pranks apart, in my experience, I always got a paper menu when I asked for it.

This assumes that the host name you want has been recently queried. If it's not cached, good luck...

Some Logitech drivers installation program (not sure which version or what product) did it too... found a file named NULL on my HD, and of course there was a BAT file with something > NULL.
