Criticisms of his post aside. Isn't it unfortunate, the absolute degree everything legacy is at least in some way tethered to windows. If only there had been an open alternative, it would allow huge communities to emerge keeping very

Relax friend! I can't see why you'd be peeved in the slightest! Remember, the CEOs have it all figured out and have 'determined' that we don't need all those eyeballs on the code anymore. You can simply 'feed&#

Yeah people can barely see past the length of their own nose. Its a marketing experiment basically. I think a bunch of people coalesced to answer the question. "So, how could we completely wipe the leaderboard in terms of views/at

Seems par for the course with Dell lately. My XPS has a Wifi+ACPI firmware bug, wherein when the wifi says, hey can i go into power save mode, and the ACPI grabs its ankles, kernel panic! For years I thought It was a linux thing but after s

Heh, sounds like a FAANG interview but worse since theres not quite another USA. Sadly when something is in demand, the gatekeepers can burn through plenty of legitimate applicants. When everyone wants to come here, things distort.

Sometime last summer, I encountered a domain which WAS revoked. I was and am using Firefox, roughly v120, in Ubuntu and it threw up an unskippable error page, similar to those self signed pages in chrome. I did turn it off for hahas, in a

Pretty neat how, out of the blue, two seemingly unrelated efforts manage to tighten together to create the perfect unavoidable storm. I swear those Thursday bilderberg meetings are a thing.

I have a similar program, which i call Relay, which effectively works exactly the same. Haven't worked on it in over 10 years but like OP i was in a similar situation, and it worked nicely, but really theres so much more that can be d

Sadly, Percisely. Digital Forensics (the evidence of nothing by the way, a great book), is approaching little more than gluing together datasets from various completely fungible entities. I too could be a master investigator if I could simp

I remember that, Schneier talked about it on his blog. It was actually tor (the threat came from tor), and harvard 'found' him by constantly logging what connections were going to known tor entries from on campus. As it turns out

Yeah, its just too temporally coincidental. They must all go to the same Thursday meetings. I wish Stallman/Doctorow hadnt been so right.

This and parent are both approaching toward what I see as the main obstacle, that we as a species don't know how in its entirety a human mind thinks (and it varies among people), so trying to "model" it and reproduce it is re

Yeah, its like the world has been turned into one giant corporation, and the only computers you can use on it are corporate, botted, Active Directory joined, crap. All machines are belong to them.

Well it is still a phone after all, what with UMA and baseband processing. You don't need to spend much time at Blackhat/Defcon to realize any true attempts at sealing it up are akin to plugging leaks in a sieve with epoxy. Its fa

It is, in its most true form, a modern-day sefdom, bound by soft power, hopelessness, and above all else an unquenchable aversion to risk. The risk part predicated upon the delusion that we are in end times and things couldn't be bette

Yes, forgive me I was trying to cram too many ideas into a short blurb, else I can ramble on forever. We're just talking past each other, since there is nuance to your original statement I may be not addressing directly. >Presenting

Agreed, Even with their prodigious ability to make boilerplate and maybe get one started in the general direction, they do so at the cost of turning you into an abject moron. So definitely not a net win, if any.

Not what I'm saying. At any time before the legit handoff, there can be a decoy which users would be blissfully unaware of, shimmed in. How many times do domains change again during the singup process of whatever service you're u

Its not the 'voluntary' services that may or may not want to see your ID, its the existence of any and all Mandatory legislation, which would be a nightmare. This is a tech site so I imagine the average user has some deeper unders

Maybe, but as a parent, I believe its an embarrassment to expect to radically retrofit a society in such ways as to make up for my own negligent lack of responsibility for my own children, which I do take quite seriously. Not to mention th

Very true, If you take the number of tech jobs lost over the last couple years(in article) and multiply out, say, roughly $125K gross salary yearly, cut that in half for taxes (and things i missed) and you still are out tens of billions of
