I always wondered if the hybrid model was an experiment at ways around regulatory barriers to lawyers sharing fees/profits, a la a global multinational leasing the very expensive brand, logo, and internal software from tax-haven incorp

In the case of Atrium, it also sounded like their "pivot to tools" was trying to take many of their existing (ex) employees on the legal side, and convert them into clients of the tools. While the legal and tools companies were to

Indeed - the Data Protection Act (2018) effectively is the GDPR, by updating existing data protection legislation. Indeed, some parts of it are referenced against the GDPR itself, e.g. paragraph 157 on penalties.

I believe I recall seeing the Gimli Glider scenario in one of the previous versions (Maybe Century of Flight, or FS X?) If the mission/scenario scripting engine is capable enough, there would probably be lots of scope to build famous (

Interestingly, a strict reading of GDPR suggests that "consent gating" should not be permitted, but admittedly the wording is quite weak, and it isn't clear cut. > When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost acc

Doing a quick look through the library repository, I spotted another more scary function. It doesn't appear (at a quick glance) to be used anywhere, but still... https://github.com/trustcrypto/libraries/blob&#

Looks it. Seems like it might be open firmware and user-space interfacing software. Didn't see any CAD/EDA repos.

There is a link to https://github.com/trustcrypto from within what seems to be the footer of (at least) the FAQ page.

When traditional banks do "1st, 2nd and 4th character" checks (i.e. via their apps), some go to pretty good lengths to protect these, even given the limited entropy. These systems are typically backed by HSMs, and the HSM generate

Just as a point of interest around 4G/LTE, it's worth noting that (many/most) LTE networks don't support calling natively over LTE. At least not for a lot of the handsets in the hands of their customers. Unless your hand

Cell networks (but not towers) effectively do this already - when you dial 911 (or 112), the phone doesn't actually dial the number "911" or "112"; instead it requests a call of type emergency. This is routed by the

I believe the one you're referring to is the "Windows Platform Binary Table (WPBT)" feature, which has a slot in UEFI where an exe can be put, which is run by Windows during an install. Couple of refs for anyone interested:

Thanks for your reply. That's a real shame - I am sure I could segregate the different devices by making multiple accounts under the "groups" system, but that gets a bit messy! I'd love to see this happen! Even if it was

With a little bit of careful adjustment to settings, you can disable all Google services on a Nexus device. It takes a little effort, but it can be done - unrooted and unmodified.

You're spot on here. To also add, some (most!) vendors make dirty hacks to the kernel source, as they maintain it as a standalone tree for the most-part. Wired the headphone jack the wrong way around? Don't bother with a new PCB r

Yes indeed - the downside of this is that it's hard to gather this information together in a way that lets you show people "which devices" are still maintained. It is much better for users to know if they are on the latest bu

Nothing, sorry - was using the past tense thinking about when the decision was made a while back. Omni seems to be getting more traction of late with people concerned about the CM issues. They are still GPL and that probably acts as a fairl

If/when it becomes a risk they must mitigate against (be that a financial or reputational risk), I guess they will. Heck, until stagefright, Google didn't even release security bulletins. It was nigh-on impossible to keep track of
