They are Chinese retailers, and these frauds are organized. They won't go after anyone in an overseas court - just as they don't worry one bit about an overseas court trying to reach them in China.

Realistically they will do nothing, because only a fraction of the customers will put up a fight like this. The 99%, which make up the customers these organized fraudsters are banking on, won't bother because "it was still cheaper

The same scheme is very common on the market for "new" laptop batteries sold by Chinese retailers on for example eBay. The batteries will come with a reprogrammed charge cycle count of 0, an unlikely serial number of all-zeroes&#x

Of topics like these my father, a lover of all things art and photography, would say: "It doesn't matter if it's bad, and it doesn't matter that anyone can do it; he was the one who did it first."

Only if you don't turn WiFi off. To my understanding even the "soft off" option present in iOS stops the phone from beaconing, and just listens in order to collect data for building augmented location services. I don't k

> Also, at least they could tell me the ToS violation... Agreed. Cutting you off like this and leaving you hanging was a very dysfunctional and unfriendly way of handling their business.

Thankfully you don't need to. You can run your own, and treat the ISP modem/router as if it were the Internet.

It's a common misunderstanding that the CPU suddenly has twice as large performance envelope when SMT is enabled. Only specialized software/scenarios will tangibly benefit from the parasitic gains of SMT-induced extra parallelizat

Apple released minor-version updates to both macOS and iOS the past few days, both containing several security fixes. Has anyone been able to confirm if they address these exploits?

by daneel_w 2y ago
You're not getting a boost, you're avoiding a penalty. In some (but not all) cases you can avoid the penalty and the exploits by disabling SMT. Remember, SMT isn't twice as many cores, just twice as many half-cores. You&#x2

For upscaling, sure. For downscaling it has a tendency to both amplify and distort (rather than preserve) detail and sharpness, "imagining" detail that never existed, leaving you with a worse result. Bicubic and sometimes even bil

I make kombucha* at home and observe something similar whenever I start a new batch using a small piece of culture taken from an old container. Either the yeast or the bacteria - or both in symbiosis - form the typical stringy structures se

I've used tons of Realtek stuff since the early 2000s and have had only one single device misbehave - the infamous RTL8139 Fast Ethernet which had many bad batches unleashed onto the world. I have both bad and good versions of this chi

In my experience they always held up the 100 Mbit/sec claim for lower-end variants, and an acceptable 350-ish Mbit/sec on USB2-backed GbE devices. I have no experience with GbE USB3 dongles.

Don't show yourself out. Stay and remind people. It's important, since these two aren't interchangeable in both directions.

I knew what it was, for every can I had. As someone who is hypoglycemic I don't need a double blind experiment to tell me what a sugar rush and an insulin response feels like in the chest.

Nobody is recommending RSA-3072 per se. The recommendation if wanting to stick with RSA is to move beyond RSA-2048, and the world at large jumped all the way to RSA-4096 long ago.

These are contrived benchmarks at the extreme end of things. In real world usage the difference is drowned-out by the delays of so many other things happening in order to complete a handshake and key exchange. The mildly higher performance

There's no good reason at all, which is why RSA-3072 is the rarely seen "oddball".

You and I aren't the ones in immediate danger. The service providers we rely on are. In discussions like these we have a "tragicomic" tendency to forget mankind's unstoppable progress. RSA-1024 offers 80 symmetric equiva

They are defaulting to 1024-2048. Systems signing with 512 bit keys are an outlier.

RSA-1024 is "only" 80 symmetric equivalent bits. It's a space requiring a tremendous amount of energy to explore, though I personally consider it very likely that the NSA and/or the MSS et al. have poured immense funds i

Everyone has to be onboard before the switch can be made, and not everyone is happy about the somewhat messy solution of running dual-stack RSA+Ed25519 setups in the interim - it's a bit different than e.g. supporting multiple methods
