Reports say Microsoft was caught completely off guard. Here's the damage control tweet Satya found it necessary to make shortly after it all went down: https://twitter.com/satyanadella/status/17256565548784927

Google already announced that Messages will support MLS. One can only hope that Apple does as well with whatever this announcement brings, and that MLS becomes the defacto E2EE standard for RCS.

STARTTLS is client-to-server (or at least node-to-node). RCS node-to-node is already always encrypted. E2EE is like both sending and receiving parties agreeing to use PGP. The servers aren't involved with the details; they just move th

There's also a lawsuit that Seattle Public Schools filed earlier this year. Not sure where that's at but it looks like there was activity as recently as last month. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6693325

Brian Hook was in there as well. Wasn't he at id at some point? Also, lots of people on Netcom. That was my ISP as well around that time and I still have their DNS server IPs memorized.

I did get it eventually but I don't recall where. Possibly the infamous Quake shareware CD. :)

It's a confusing photo; those antennae are for that machine as a client, not an access point. I use it only as a router (i.e., it routes my LAN to the internet over gigabit fiber), and I use a separate access point for wifi. The antenn

OpenWrt is commonly used to breathe new (or better) life into consumer routers, but you can also run it on any x86 machine. I run it on a small, passively-cooled i5 machine* virtualized in Proxmox alongside Home Assistant. I originally ran

What's involved in increasing electricity infrastructure by 20%? Have you looked at the timeline of some large scale, coordinated effort public infrastructure projects? One that's close to home for me is the Seattle area's li

My favorite region isolation oversight was when someone realized that the perl cron job that iterated over every border router globally and applied ACL updates 2-3x per day didn't pay attention to isolation at all, and could easily hav

I believe the issue wasn't of IPv6 support generally, but of issues with TCAM space and the increase in routing table size moving from v4 to v6. Overflowing TCAM would cause routing to hit the CPU which would immediately lead to outage

I just asked it your question and it seemed to give the correct answer? Also, there's now a built-in button to check its answer against an actual Google search and the UX is pretty slick.

In my experience, there's a message with every new Bard conversation that links to the page you linked to and says "Human reviewers may process your Bard conversations for quality purposes. Don't enter sensitive info."

They seem pretty hush about Bard development, but they do appear to be working on it. A couple of months ago they started an invite-only Discord server (maybe it's public access now) and they hold weekly Q&A sessions with the Bard
