Also another reason - a generation site may be curtailed, meaning that its output is restricted due to grid capacity limitations, and allowing it to export more energy onto the local power network may exceed safe operating parameters for th

The UK has a few pretty good schemes (e.g. Cyber Prevent) that try to intervene and stop young people before they get landed with a criminal record for (lower level) cyber crime - at one point the average age at time of arrest was 17.

It seems like malware stealing browser cookies of authenticated sessions can work around even U2F, and highlights a bit of a hole in how sessions are protected (or not), and where it may make sense to reauthenticate the user when in doubt.

Beware that, depending on country and indeed specific university, some will attempt to claim ownership of IPR you develop as a student while studying for a PhD. This isn't across the board, and different institutions have completely di

Not the parent poster, but I suspect this may be pointing towards humanities-based subjects, where I've seen regular assignments in the form of essays on fairly subjective topics. I do think there will be a challenge in handling use of

Indeed - but you still require that "subject matter expert" ability to actually evaluate the output and figure out if it's coherent or correct. That tends to require a fairly high level of techniacl knowledge (and confidence

I think the key skill being overlooked is the ability to spot when someone (or something) is wrong, and correctly and accurately call it out and justify why it's wrong. Critical evidence-based thinking and the ability to properly apply

Indeed - in the past, some browser extensions would auto fill into iframes and similar, using the origin identity of the page container, even when the field was invisible. That's obviously an issue, but sticking to manual actions (part

This seems like a use case for an offline password manager (which will no doubt still run on the same device, and therefore offer limited benefit), or doing something like gpg encrypting the information to your own gpg key (and storing that

Yes, 2FA/MFA only serves as access control, to limit who can retrieve a copy of your encrypted vault from the server (to then decrypt locally). Like in the Lastpass scenario, if someone gets a hold of your vault from a server side back

For the 99% use-case, secure boot being enabled and enforcing by default shouldn't really be an issue in the last few years. Almost all major Linux distributions (i.e. the ones with an easy install disc image you write to a USB stick)

I think the root issue on sleep is Microsoft/vendor induced - this issue only really began when Microsoft introduced connected/modern standby, and started to incite OEMs to remove BIOS/UEFI support for S3 sleep. It seems unfa
