A bit like saying Exxon led paper pushes back against claims of climate change.

Personally I love having a desktop plugged in as I mainly watch YouTube, Plex and play games, but for someone who's planning to use a lot of DRM-encumbered services like Netflix, they often restrict the streaming resolutions available

You're comparing VM tooling with container tooling, there's going to be substantial differences in level of abstraction. I might suggest you look at the libvirt platform, it's a wrapper around KVM essentially, but there'

And a kind of crappy one at that, you still can't even read reviews on a desktop browser last I checked. EDIT: Looks like they're finally in the process of changing this in a "Preview" version now.

No, the Facebook app most likely does not have any special permissions. These are typically granted by manufacturers based on their own signing keys.

But again, they also have system privileges on your phone and if they wanted to dump location data or bluetooth scans they could do so trivially. About the worst that could come of this is an accidental capture in a crash report.

This title is kind of exaggerated. In order to obtain this data you'd need to get the Bluetooth identifiers from the system log. In order to get the system log, you need root or adb. At that point you can just log GPS directly, inject

I can't speak to the others but judging by the amount of spam I get on Discord, they certainly aren't.

That seems like a really weird decision because both Moderna and Pfizer are using very similar technologies and haven't had much negative press coverage.

They're suggesting you buy cryptocurrency then buy an eSIM online (which comes in the form of a QR code you scan) from a particular, kind of sketchy service. Don't need to worry about country restrictions unless the country you&#x

Be careful with that one, many rechargeables aren't suitable for low current/long lasting applications due to self-discharge. There are "low self-discharge" cells, but not sure about that in a CR2032 form factor.

Wonder if there's more of a co-op approach that could be used to avoid municipal broadband being sold off when it's politically expedient to do so at some random point in the future.

Didn't DJB v US pretty much end that? That would also impact things like Firefox for the record.

Not necessarily only Tor applications, also works well for VMs/physical machines created specifically to be used directly in a Tor only environment, where none of your data is otherwise associated with them. I use this for malware reve

I've always hesitated to recommend Signal to people due to Moxie's attitude towards the more traditional security and privacy community where things like federation and open source are respected concepts. Tack this on the list and

I'm not too sure one this one - we need rare earths to make things like lithium cells. Moves like this one could cripple our production capacity or price competitiveness for moving away from fossil fuels - I'd argue far more envir

That or their smaller competition will have a harder time dodging it than they will.

That seems crazy, especially considering Sia and others have functioning alternatives with no such insane requirements. Maybe they're trying to corner some certain performance oriented market, but that guarantees nothing about network

Interesting, looks like there's an Xposed solution that passes safetynet easily these days. Might have to give XPrivacyLua a proper go.

A lot happened - many more recent phones, especially from big brands like Samsung heavily restrict unlocking of their bootloaders. Google implemented SafetyNet, meaning anyone who wants to use things like Google Pay, Netflix, even Pokemon G

What percentage of the limited time in your life is worth what level of impact on climate change? Do something much more likely to be useful: implement a reasonable, even revenue-neutral carbon tax and stop with this non-sense.

It's like someone hasn't even picked up a phone in the past decade. Nearly every app on your phone would have been considered spyware or adware just years ago. Pretty much the only things on my phone that aren't adware or s

Just set up backups, enable apt unattended upgrades for major security patches and forget the rest. If you want to really get paranoid, pass it all through wireguard or ssh tunnels, but for bitwarden at least it's all client side encry

It's basically trading cards to save the whales, yeah. Nothing wrong with abusing the collector attitude to raise money for charity.
