It's an interesting concept. But there's one thing that bugs me. If an attacker is already in the network, I think we need to distinguish between two types of boxes. Servers, and clients. Honeypots are nothing new, so having a few

If you read the responses on that bug tracker it does seem it was automatically activated for some. Granted, these might have been a misinterpretation of that chrome://voicesearch page. My phrasing of "anytime" was perha

Yes it does. > The hotword module has the same privileges as any website (except that it automatically has access to the microphone). My original post was perhaps misleading, I'm only talking about the sandbox here, I'm aware

Yes, that's what I just said and what the bugtracker sais.

Which is allowed to use your microphone at any time without asking. In contrast to javascript executed on a website. Edit: To clarify, I'm only talking about the sandbox here, I'm aware that there is opt-in stuff and that there is

Care to back that up with numbers? I switched and don't frequent any of those. Seems like you have personal beef with voat? Just stop spreading misinformation, or back it up with numbers please.

It's about noise. The physical lock on your door doesn't prevent anyone from breaking in. But you can clearly tell someone broke in and it creates noise. It's not always practical to take your notebook to the toilet with you,

You do realize that this is a very easy to pull off attack? http://www.breaknenter.org/projects/inception/ Do you also think people who use screenlocks are tinfoil hatters?

So now you can't even put glue in the thunderbolt port anymore to prevent DMA attacks? I don't think DMA attacks have been fully solved yet via software, or am I not up to date here? I guess you could blacklist the driver.

Not a C programmer either. But I've seen projects banning strcpy. The code was littered with strncpy(a, b, strlen(b)). So I'm not sure how useful these warnings would be.

tl;dr: strncpy() doesn't null terminate, but doesn't mention strlcpy() http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy

Depending on who you're talking with, that might not be exactly true. Honestly, I've seem flamewars that were on the levels of emacs vs. vim. So I actually found this to be one of the more belivable scenes. Quite in constrast to t

Honestly, the only reason I watched the episode (just now) was that I got linked this clip [0] earlier today. Didn't know it was this show back then, recognized it now. But I have to agree, the lingo is acceptable, although not really

Thanks! I had no idea what that was supposed to be. Unfortunately I can't watch the full episode though, because "this content is currently unavailable", presumably because it's a non-US IP. Not sure when they'll le

In Switzerland the driver has to make sure all passengers have their seatbelt on or they will also get fined. Cab drivers here won't drive if you don't put it on. Seems like a good solution to me.

Preferably a few hours from the last time you said something or 24 hours back.

Not saying your lying or anything. But if you make accusations like that you should probably back them up with a chat log.

If you're worried about how good the encryption is, you can actually use Tox with Pidgin and then layer OTR on top of it. That way you get decentralized messaging and don't need to trust their crypto. https://wiki.tox.i
