Isn't this still a problem with the new Intel chips? Is the baseband processor actually separate?

Correct, most people (including myself) use it more for filtering noise than increased security by obscurity. Which makes it an even less effective analogy.

uMatrix on Firefox 57+ is completely broken for me, no frames are allowed even if the extension is soft disabled. I'm kind of at my wits end... it's severely degrading my experience. Thinking of just disabling it for now and just

I have personally been infected with malware through ads alone.

I understand what you were saying, but I made the (unfounded) assumption that most of the general ad-blocker population were turned onto it by someone they trust who is more computer-savvy, and those people will generally continue to recomm

What are you talking about? You're saying that theoretically, because there may be worse exploits from advanced actors that can target you for visiting a website, you shouldn't worry about basic security and whitelisting? Do you n

Until there are better integrated controls for deciding which arbitrary code blobs run on your computer, a large majority of people using adblockers will continue to do so despite Google's efforts.

Thing is, at that point I'd be worried about the mic as well, as you point out. Better safe than sorry!

I miss those Pidgin days so much... Even Facebook was rocking XMPP for a while. Things were so simple back then.

If my webcam light ever flickered on and then off, I'm chucking my laptop off the side of a bridge. Willing to be most other people wouldn't attribute it to a hardware fault, either.

We are FUBAR'd, why deal with mics and smart speakers when you can sell privacy-invading Wi-Fi routers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LTr02cJkiA

It's ridiculous that we're at this point where using a handful of software applications means keeping up to date with the social life and financial situation of the developer, reading changelogs, etc. And you only can spare both t

It's a bit aggressive to assume OP's metrics of what "looks like" a rocket science includes being an old white male. Actually, you're the one who introduced these features as being relevant, and thus the only one pe

That's too much effort. I guess your workaround worked after all.

What's your home address?

I can't get it to display anything. The console is ablaze with CORS errors. Firefox 58, Fedora 27.

I don't use C++ outside of games programming, I'm not familiar with the Boost filesystem API.

The most valuable skill is knowing when to externalize your tools. You don't always want to reinvent the wheel every time you need something, when you have deadlines to consider.

Willing to bet that guy didn't read the docs, maybe this is a public relations issue.

That's true and it needs to be dealt with, but OP definitely is speaking outside of their domain of knowledge because Tumblr was always drowning in porn. OP didn't specifically mention bots which leads me to believe they are speak

Well to be fair, there are a lot of insane people out there. :-)

I see. My apologies for being so critical. I agree that POSIX is incomplete and out of date. However I do think it is a disaster that people can't break up their shell code into more modular components, and there is no excuse for it. A

If your script is over 80-120 lines, it's time for modularization. No sane person writes 1000 line scripts, and the fact that the Oil author uses such a scenario as a reason to use their shell is very disconcerting about the quality of

Yeah honestly that raised my interest considerably.

You should give PyCharm another go. If you don't have a license anymore, JetBrains offers a free community version. It is more than enough to suit my needs. What did you find bad about it? If it was just input latency, that's fixe

Most of my knowledge in this domain is contextual and thus useless but here is a good example of the more extreme side of some unions. [0] I want to make it clear that I am not against unionization. What I am against is the use of rhetori

Many unions in America have developed into malevolent forces that seek unfair competitive advances, often to the detriment of many people working in that industry.

As a matter of principle this seems like a negative thing for open source. Can someone explain to my why it isn't?

Fixated on what? That sentence was half of your comment. > If you say something like "on average men are stronger than women" and they get offended, then YOU are the problem. You are a poor communicator. No one says things like
