Undesirable resharing of personal information is only one consequence. In my time on the internet I've known it to be said in the context of other consequences, be it archiving, digital archaeology, datahoarding, etc. I do like legisla

This reinforces the adage (that used to be true) "nothing gets deleted from the internet" and so I am for it. I hope useful posts will be un-404'd.

Not saying it's practical but you could add your own CA on each client device and the router MitMs. Or, e.g. you can set a flag when building Firefox that will store the secrets necessary to decrypt those packets, and the client sends

I invite everyone to look through the financial reports to see who (read: car companies) contributed to the lobbying against the act. https://ocpf.us/Filers/FilerInfo?q=95471 For example, in just one of the reports (60

My Latin teacher would sometimes describe words like this. In this case he said if a person were writing a long sentence along a mountainside, rather than walk all the way back to begin a new line they'd do this. I have always wanted a

My bank once had an "IRL password" like this, which I'd use when calling them. They silently dropped this feature after a few months. I'm guessing it results in negative ROI once you factor in the number of people who wo

I'd say what you're looking for exists but not in the US. Brits have electric city cars that I'd want to buy, but can't.

Doesn't this assume that the no-code tools won't be smart enough to understand the most probably correct course of action, and to look up information automatically and to ask questions to resolve ambiguities, like what a programme

HP is involved in that. They wrote the software, provided it to Microsoft, and are aware of how Windows Update works. I'm reminded of the times Windows Update has "helpfully" installed drivers for HP printers for me that are
