Modest proposal: If Microsoft really wants it to stop, just start releasing the complete records of every law enforcement official who requests one of these secret orders to the public. Maybe the need for privacy and due process will be mad

I find this especially annoying because HR insists on having these "Hard Requirements" like years of experience, GPA, or other things. I just want someone who is smart, gets things done, and somewhat likes the thing they are going

I think you are right about the refusal, though it might be nice if the Supreme Court could just outright say as much "We don't want to hear this now, argue in lower courts first" Though I must say, what is strange to me abou

I feel like a checklist is just part of it. The truth is that a secure software development lifecycle needs to be taken seriously at every stage, and this costs a lot of money. During prototyping and requirements gathering you need to be se

At least for me the best part of Steam reviews is that I can easily check reviews done by my friends / online gamer groups. By restricting the web of trust so a smaller batch of entities, I know I am avoiding most of the fraudsters.

I actually really like this feature when playing music for a whole room on my OLED TV. People like watching the fancy graphics and I get to dodge a tiny little bit of burn in.

Because I already use MFA to access my password manager in the first place, and don't want to deal with managing backups for each flavor of MFA app that is pushed on me.

I think you are right, but when you take your time how do you beat the company that just Zooms through, ignoring security, privacy, and stability, eats the entire market share, and leaves the secure, private, and stable apps to fight over s

I'd hazard a guess that it is because Python is so old. It was literally created in the 80s. Package management, explosion of dependencies, multiple implementations of the interpreter, being added to the base operating system, and all

I deleted my facebook account a long time ago, but I definitely do not get invitations to some parties and events because of that. Facebook events are the easiest way to invite people to a party or other gathering.
