Do you only have 2-3 backups of your workstation? I have much more backups of my workstation etc., should I now buy dozens of crypto hardware key thingies and constantly switch them around to match the backup disks? For those who do offsite

If they try to print more Bitcoin by changing the software that does NOT automatically mean that the majority of Bitcoin users will install and run that modified software. The non-"print more money" version will reject its blocks.

Thanks, but why does the post show two screenshots juxtaposed: - one labeled as "2FA Authenticator permissions disclosed on Google Play" - and the other as "2FA Authenticator permissions requested " They even made &qu

The thread does not seem to answer the most interesting question: Is it really possible for app developers to leave out permissions in the list of requested permissions on Google Play and then get them nevertheless when the app is actually

I am *very* surprised that the list of requested permissions on Google Play does *not* have to match the actual permissions which the app gets when installed. I would have thought that the list on Google Play is computed from the binary so

I'm not criticizing this particular submisssion but rather the fact that there is now *every* single day a thread where people hate on crypto. What is the benefit for the community if a place which used to be about acquiring knowledge

It's not like it hasn't been done a million times. So what is the added value in repeating this hate-fest every day?

Even if that is true there is no guarantee it will stay like that: Bitcoin has amassed a $1T valuation in like what, 10 years?, of existing. Who knows how popular it will be in another 10 years, 20 years? Could be gone. Or could have replac

Do you want Java to do deep packet inspection on all network traffic? Because Java supports naked sockets [1], so that is what you would have to do to block the network traffic from containing .class files. (Or remove the capability of real

Thanks! So am I correctly understanding this as: Using identityHashCode() does not prevent locks from working, it merely prevents the performance optimization of biased locking (which Java 15 disables by default anyway)?
