I paid quite a bit of money for my iPhone. If none of that got back to the people who made it, I would certainly like to know the reason why. It is not my policy to stiff people for their work.

Easy to do on a temporary basis but they will come back. I think even if you do 'sc delete wuauserv' it will eventually come back. Don't do that on a computer you care about...

My question here is how are you going to install your root certificate on a $300 smart TV? Or, if that is not required because the TV does not verify DoH certificates, how bad is that for security (which we already know is awful on these de

Definitely, but it’s the difference between losing $100 million or $99 million. They’ve already sustained the loss, the only thing to do now is try and offset it.

The insurers of the ship and/or cargo would be paying to salvage whatever value they can extract from the wreck, to reduce their losses. You’re right about the non-zero chance of insurmountable loss, which is why the owner of the ship

I guess it depends on exactly what point we consider the state of flying to have ended during a crash. The second the plane first makes contact with the ground, or after all of the fragments stop moving?

I think the point is anything on YouTube is manufactured. It’s not necessarily lies, but people have to be aware when they are watching a video about an electric truck or rescuing animals, the intent wasn’t to do that thing, the intent was

I completely understand the desire to use the newer instructions and get the most performance possible out of the latest hardware, but we also should make it a priority to keep a portable C codepath in all of these libraries. Otherwise we’r

This is what my objection really is. At best, the non-preposterous combinations will mean the same thing as the original. Most combinations will carry a different meaning or none at all. There's no reason to treat it like a search spac

If you expand ZK-S-N-ARK it becomes Zero Knowledge-Secure-Noninteractive-Argument of Knowledge, or Zero-Knowledge-Secure-Non-interactive-Argument of Knowledge if you reinsert the hyphens that had been removed by the acronym compression proc

by gnu8 6y ago
The hyphen did not move, it is actually a different one. Zero-knowledge loses its hyphen when the phrase is compressed into an acronym, and a hyphen is added as a separator.

So all someone has to do if they want to bomb an airplane with their shoes is cough up $80 for a Precheck pass. Very secure.

They will likely be exclusive to Microsoft’s so-called Microsoft Store. Microsoft (and the other game vendors) really needs to stop pretending to have an App Store. Valve owns this space on the PC and it belongs to them. Microsoft does not

I had a similar discussion with someone about hunting pictures in dating profiles. My initial opinion was to include them, because I hunt and I’m not going to compromise on that, so if it’s a dealbreaker for a potential partner, it is best

I wonder why not provide a switch to turn off the star eater? Bury it under some menus so people don’t use it unless they go looking.

That is a very black-and-white metaphor. I agree that letting the wolves roam free is a naive and unworkable solution, but something needs to be done about the guard dogs eating the black sheep all the time, and the white sheep who think th

That doesn't rate limit wealthy attackers, it just locks regular individuals out of the system. Peter Thiel could still buy 10,000 malicious certificates at $500/ea, while I wouldn't even be able to buy one for a simple proje

My first thought was there could be an airlock separating the moonpool room from the rest of the structure. But putting the people through compression/decompression cycles would seem to defeat one of the benefits of having a habitat do

It would be nice if these losers stopped naming crap used to violate civil rights and murder people after Lord of the Rings and other beloved fictional stories. Just call it PusGuzzler 20202 or Venomous Butt Spiders so people can recognize

It is very disturbing that Nucleus ignored and stiffed the security researcher who pointed out their obvious issue with AWS keys. They should not expect cooperation from the security community in the future and I hope this will have a sever

So because Google thinks I am too stupid to handle a separate URL box and search box, and they are so much smarter than me that they can write a simple if-else to discern what I want with a few bullshit DNS queries, I’m stuck with a browser

I'm struggling to understand why a university needs an endowment at all. Every year the universities accumulate more wealth and more parasitic non-academic staff, while simultaneously raising fees and delivering less value to students

Sure, anyone can do that and it is entirely fair to use the software that way privately. The barrier is that they can’t distribute the resulting modules because no one else will have a kernel that has been modified this way.

The apparently out of place reference to the iPhone in this article from 1996 is actually referring to the IPhone, one of the first internet appliances.

Maybe just default to /24. That is a fairly sensible default and anyone who wants something different should be smart enough to specify a mask.

I am unclear on what is meant by ROM. Don't most smartphones store their operating system on the same flash memory as user data? If it is all on one writable device, then ROM chips don't enter into this discussion.

Everyone recognizes that URL. It would be more suspect to download PuTTY from anywhere else.

This is why Microsoft was and is the devil. We must never forget Netscape, Be, constant virus attacks, and the bad old days when Internet Explorer was the dominant web browser which they allowed to rot like a garbage can full of shit. To us
