I think another important difference is that humans won't get stuck in a loop asking you for clarification the same way several times, after 2 or 3 times they'll typically change behaviors. Eg they'll ask you to spell the wor

This really kills me about Backblaze. I'd love to support them, I'd prefer no other backup vendor. That's why this is so hurtful: https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/217664628-Is-Ba...

Not to be confused with Zero Days (2016), which is also worth a watch. Edit: I mis-read, you actually are talking about Zero Days (2016), which - I meant - shouldn't be confused with an earlier documentary called Zero Days - Security L

If someone just has tcpdump running this won't catch them unless they actually try to use the links or credentials they retrieved. I like this, but from the title I expected to be able to detect that tcpdump is running, akin to what yo

I think part of the problem is people dont complain to their bank about the lack of these features, and don't ask about them when shopping around for a new bank. Call your bank. Ask for these features. What have you got to lose? They&#

I like that they've said they'll start banning the cables, but I'm disappointed that - from my reading of the article - Amazon isn't doing any testing to detect these bad cables and are instead relying on customer review
