Oh wow this is really neat! Can be very useful for debugging.

You seem to be affiliated with them. My advice would be to demo asap and as much a possible. I am sure it is hard with a suit like that, but it's the only way people aren't gonna think it is vaperware.

I don't believe anything in the VR space until it starts to be demoed. Too much vaperware and marketing BS.

I am not sure if it is attention span or just the quality of the information.

Right, a phone is a tool like any other. It's all about how you use it.

So I did read the article and no where does it mention any other tools for identifying activity online. Unless I am missing something.

They are closing some stores. Retail in general has had a very bad few years.

The reality is that it is the only tool they have. However they should require more evidence than just an ip address.

I decided to try pass a few months back. Absolutely love it. It is so simple, and builds off existing & proven tech of gpg & git. Can't recommend enough!

This is just a marketing peace. Trying to sell a seven day crash course or some such nonsense.

WARNING: DO NOT USE BEACON GENERATED VALUES AS SECRET CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEYS. So probably not a good idea.

I decided to give Firefox Developer Edition a try a few weeks ago. Been pretty happy with it, with no plans to switch back.

It's based off GNU Social, which is based off Ostatus. It uses an email like identifier. The term 'server' in this case is really domain. You are correct about loosing that identity if the server goes away, but that is pretty

When was the last time you saw real investigative journalism? These days it's a race to get what ever click-bait headlines you can get from 'unamed sources' (or my favorite 'sources close to X') up and out the door.

Can't recommend Pass enough. It is great. Also you can use it with a smartcard.

It's the main reason I don't have a LinkedIn and never will. They are a scummy company.

Name kind of conflicts with Pass (password-store). https://www.passwordstore.org

Not sure why this is any surprise. It is only a matter of time before it is done in the US as well (at least done openly)

The largest power drain in an LCD/LED screen is the backlight and that has to be running regardless of which color is being displayed. This would only benefit OLED screen (which doesn't have a normal backlight) which are pretty mu

Imagine having to use your government ID to even connect to the internet. Having all your data logged and cataloged to your ID. At one point in time that is what the US government wanted to do. It starts by normalizing the action. Not a wor

No. This is the absolute wrong direction and would likely help push for a Government Internet ID. This would complete destroy online anonymity.

Not really, because again it doesn't recorded anything outside of it's context. It's more like being part of a user study group every time you use their product, whether or not you want to be, or agree to be.

But that is the issue. They aren't selling enough cars to keep things going. Instead they tap capital, which is largely funded by the middle class. So it isn't the wealthy subsidising anything.
