You should be able to use a DC-DC converter for charging the laptop off the DC - they're sold as "laptop car charger" or similar and have a cigarette-lighter-style plug.

More likely they'll just start charging (ha!) for it.

They can determine what the other party is going to do, but can't influence it, so that's not communication.

It's like if you want to be a General, you are going to have to be a Private first. There is a progression in the sciences. That's not how the military works at all. A Private is an enlisted rank, and their career path typicall

What I mean is, doesn't the ubiquitous presence of ordinary email on the desktop create an unacceptable risk of the "inevitable unencrypted reply" for any secure messenger on the desktop?

Would such a desktop client have to disable copy-to-the-clipboard, because otherwise you won't be able to stop bozos from copy-and-pasting from this new system into an MS Outlook all-company email?

Recipes elsewhere in the five eyes still use cups, tablespoons and teaspoons as well, although they're not the same size everywhere (eg. a metric cup is 250ml).

If only there was some form of programmable electronic computation device that could be used to solve such complex sets of constraints modelled as equations :)

This is no different in principle than a photo of a starry night sky, where the size of the pixel is far greater than the actual angular size of the object from our vantage point.

64 bit file descriptors doesn't work unless you create a whole swag of new system calls, because file descriptors are type `int` and most 64-bit POSIX implementations are I32LP64.

(Standard C doesn't have file descriptors at all, it has FILE * file handles).

It seems unlikely it would be MBS himself pressing the button, but a reason why Saudi intelligence might use his personal account is because Bezos would be far more likely to open a video sent from MBS than from some random account.

It turns over data more often in response to secret U.S. intelligence court directives, which sought content from more than 18,000 accounts in the first half of 2019, the most recently reported six-month period. When you think about it,

This is fascinating - the individual prices are so low that they really must be moving a great number to turn a worthwhile profit.

I'm curious as to how stolen Spotify accounts are monetised? What's the value of them?

Yes, this seems like exactly the kind of service that should be checking passwords against known compromised password sets.

SMS 2FA is not useless against credential stuffing which is largely what is going on here.

From what I have read they would have no problem storing an almost unlimited number of them in one of the desert aircraft storage areas. It's really that while production operates without deliveries, it's a machine that turns cash

There's an Australian chain that does vegetables in the "fast food" format (they have a presence at highway service centres, that sort of thing). So I think you might be right about there being an unserved market for this.

The SWIS has transmission out to Kalgoorlie and the South Australian network reaches Woomera - those are 1500km apart as the crow flies, but the transmission lines out to those places wouldn't have enough capacity for a worthwhile inte
