Termites or some kind of blood-sucking parasite? Something bigger than fleas, maybe ticks? The effect is different, and ones are meant for i.e. buildings and the other for living thing. I see that as taxes, imposed by some private entity in

You are pointing to the wrong set of users there. It is not that PC user the one that will use that information, but something somewhere upwards in the "security" food chain. Those are the users for which that feature is intended

Not everything in Linux have a source code available for users. And you may want to use i.e. Chrome, or some games, or some drivers by i.e. NVidia. And that without counting BIOS or whatever deep down computers use, most of what you could u

Downloading binaries from should-not-be-trusted sources, and executing/installing them is one way. There is some irony on having to do exactly that with this scanner. But, anyway, you may not have everything you want in your distributi

"Flourished" in the context having the background extinction rate 2-3 orders above the normal is a bit overoptimistic if not intentionally misleading. Yes, we have far more cows that there were ever been, or far more units of a na

Microsoft won't fix intended, by design, behaviour, it is not broken from their point of view. And even if you disable Recall by whatever name they put to hide it, it could be silently reenabled by "security" updates. At leas

"trained" and putting everything in the same bag hides the possibility that not all training data have the same weight, confidence, or even deep tags to differentiate between an expert opinion from a 4chan post.

Active firmware updates, specially if we are talking about home routers. If the firmware can be changed to some actively maintained distribution that cares about security, like OpenWRT, the better.

It is not just bandwidth or latency, and is not just for Antarctica. Not in all places of the world you have the best connectivity. Even with not so bad connectivity, you may have environmental interference, shared use or be just far from t

It is a good opportunity to recommend reading "Skin in the Game" by Taleb? Even if this doesn't make a big difference in the final budget, the message is important. People is important, specially in big enough numbers. You ar

It is different than a passive encyclopedia. For good and for bad, it goes right to the core to what you want to know. You can jump to the conclusion of a paper instead of going all through it, or get just what you need for the problem or q

Sequels, prequels, adaptations from other media, known stories, that is most that have been produced in the last years or decades. With that there are no surprises, no new stories, not a lot of innovation, people get bored or not interested

Could we be watching in the wrong direction? Finding patterns where there is random noise is one of our characteristics. Or something closer than distorts our view of that region. In the other hand, complexity sometimes lead to unexpected r

It will be interesting to see how this one compares with the 2005 season (that had 28 named storms, and 4 category 5 hurricanes, Katrina among them) and the 2020 season (that had 31, but no category 5 hurricanes).

It seem to be an active, coordinated campaign against AIs bringing out of proportion the wrong things. Microsoft, Google, Apple, didn’t need AI to take control of our devices and information. With the Scarlet Johansson voice seem to be the
