And I believe "entferne" is "cancel" in German. These seem both common words that appear in menus and UIs. Maybe they happen in copypasted text often enough that the embedding thinks they mean nothing and should be skipp

Another legitimate complaint is how much police force is deployed each week in and around stadiums. The public pays the costs for security, big soccer gets the profits.

Precisely. You can use and old-style hardware token that only generates numbers to log in, but not to authorize an operation such as a money transfer. The requirement is called "dynamic linking" (the 2FA code must be tied to the s

How do they get this information in the first place, though? Do they have a QR code reader?

I don't think card readers can display payment information, can they? And I have no idea why, but no bank offers photoTAN devices in my country. They seem like an interesting concept, even though I imagine the underlying hardware isn&#

It is not unrealistic at all. The Olympics are run by politicians, essentially, since they appoint the committees, make the investments, build the infrastructure. And the ones pushing for these bans are the sport media tycoons: this fight i

Hardware tokens are not allowed in Europe to authorize certain operations such as bank transfers: you need a device that can show the operation you are about to authorize ("enter 123456 to confirm your payment of 99.99 € to Pornhub&quo

It is very ironic that the solution is using an old, insecure phone full of unpatched holes for all important banking and id business, because that one is vendor-allowed while your state-of-the-art GrapheneOS is not.

Are you sure? You can post questions even with a completely new blank account. It's comments that require some reputation, maybe you were thinking about those?

Does the Rufus bypass still work after these changes?

No, not yet.

And if there is a prompt engineer, there must be also a prompt scientist, right?

I suppose this gets useful in applications where you can change the font, but not add syntax highlighting. Besides being a neat trick, of course.

This writeup suggests the question: are there operating systems that support un-forgeable password requests? That is, these requests have a certain color, window detail, or UI feature that can be produced only by a system dialog, not emulat

It is hard not to increase the risk when the baseline is not pouring any boiling water at all.

From the article: boil water in two different containers then combine it. Also from the article: "please prioritize safety considerations, such as minimizing the chances of spilling boiling water [...] That stuff matters a lot more tha

Do you mean "end of 2025"?

Depends on dtps - "does this program stop".

If you use a password manager like Keepass, you can put your TOTP into it as well. With both a password and a keyfile it's still two factors, technically.

This was 1.5 years ago; at this point they are functionally allowing it.

What happens most of the time with unexperienced or distracted users is that they write things like `norm(S - T)` to compute how close two vectors are, but one of them is a row vector and the other is a column vector, so the result is silen

Actually, I just tried Y @ X in Numpy and it works just fine. It's because in Python 1-dimensional arrays are actually a thing, unlike in Matlab. That line of code is a non-example; it is easier to make it work in Python than in Matlab

Precisely; today Julia already solves many of those problems. It also removes many of Matlab's footguns like `[1,2,3] + [4;5;6]`, or also `diag(rand(m,n))` doing two different things depending on whether m or n are 1.

Why did the USB design committee not introduce a color code to tell the crap cables apart from the good ones? That would have solved so many issues.

As far as I know the Tex team has been working hard lately on supporting accessible "tagged pdfs". Hopefully one day Tex/Latex output will be accessible by default and conversion to HTML will not be needed.
