Hopefully this trend will pass at some time. I wouldn't save my photos on a platform that changes every few months (Google Photos/Plus/Drive), might be gone in two or three years, analyses images, builds face databases, and k

I'd just use an SSH tunnel to connect to my server at home. That's fast and secure (but obviously too complicated for most users). "Home server compatible" routers would be nice. Devices could request opening a port, and

I have a huge (250GB+) iPhoto library, and it is what is holding me back from installing Linux on a MBP and wiping Mac OS. Now it would be possible to just copy all photos to my LAN server with a few terabytes and Gigabit ethernet, but that

Cool, didn't know that. Seems like the hardware has to be modified and it only supports 0-1V though: http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/8757/using-pi...

That's basically the only way to do it. If it were really clever, it could ignore packets based on vendor extensions and device characteristics. They are not that easy to spoof (you would have to modify the driver, as opposed to just c

Can confirm that this is indeed very creepy. I'm currently making a WiFi probe visualizer (for fun, with GPS, maps and stuff like this). The amount of data you can gain from WiFi probes is extremely high. I can imagine market researche

Use SSH as a SOCKS proxy on port 80 / 443. If you want a Google Server, use Google Compute Engine :)

Did the author actually verify this with strace (or the mac/windows equivalent)? It sounds like he guessed this based on I/O activity of the process. It could be enough to hash the beginning of the files, and compare the rest if a

I heard cars use a network of microcontrollers because operating systems are not real-time enough (process timesharing). They would probably only use an OS for the in-car display, like Tesla does (Ubuntu), which obviously isn't (should
