"Ring says the drone makes an audible noise when flying so it is obvious when footage is being recorded." Oh, I bet it does. Drone technology seemed much cooler to me before I heard them fly. No wonder drone videos always have sou

Obviously people are not going to install an app that is only intended to track them. However, app makers will put this tracking company's SDK into their app so that they can get a hold of the generated data. But that data is then also

What's the in-app purchase one can make, according to the Play store? Also, just noting that Feeder is open source and pretty good. Does not play podcasts, but I have AntennaPod for that.

Thank you. Also, given that colleges shut down and people had to leave dorm rooms, it very surprising that college-aged people needed a low-cost alternative housing situation? Especially one that could quickly be found? I don't think s

For context, this is not just about banking services. This is our trusted e-identity card. It is used for tons of systems where we need to prove that we are who we day we are. Everything from declaring our taxes to signing documents electro

With the Schrems 2 ruling of this summer finding the Privacy Shield inadequate for storing personal data in US-owned clouds, your previous employer made the right choice for GDPR compliance. Cloud Act and National Security Letters really fu

Plank exercise. A minute or two seem to last forever. Or waiting for a microwave to heat your food. Kidding aside, meditation can help, as can just being out in nature without keeping your mind busy by stressing out with a screen in front o

Think of it as a sales funnel. They don't all have to stick around. A percentage of them will, and they might never have come across cheers without this current popularity.

Yes, much better. This person should use Docker instead and output the RPM from the container. Reproducible as all assumptions are clearly stated and much faster to execute again if the source changes (using cached layers for most prerequis

Medium is much better without JavaScript. No article view limits, no creepy showing you your Google account and asking you to log in, nothing. And of course, no messing with your LocalStorage. It does remove some images, but ok mobile, that

I especially like the security parts. SOPS integration that lets you store encrypted credentials and the like in YAML files seems like such a cool way to get the benefits of GitOps without sacrificing security. Edited to add link to https:

The latter. You download an MSI from some file hosting mirror, who cares, because you then diligently look and see that it has been signed correctly by the company that made the software. But the vulnerability makes it rather trivial to hav

The GDPR and its right to be forgotten agrees with you. This is grounds for sending a strong message to Instagram for not doing what they are legally bound to doing.

Was it also not forbidden to have your app interpret code, which is the reason both for the still prevalent browser monoculture on iOS, originally (successfully) intended as a killer of Flash? I suppose this is the same, in a way. They can&

Better speed, yes, but also, SGX has been broken in different ways and just a few days ago, Apple's secure enclave for phones was broken, too. These are extra obstacles along the way, but not insurmountable walls.

Sure. But then there was a letter from what in this case can be seen as an expert warning of potential danger. If that was intentionally ignored, would it be impossible to claim some level of negligence? Shady.

Please note that this is not about personal filter bubbles, but rather professional ones. I find this interesting and disturbing, as it would no doubt improve reporting if journalists were more aware of all viewpoints across the political (

Alternatively, only 1/3 of Firefox users that also do not disable telemetry have any add-ons at all. More than a handful choose that browser for privacy, including keeping stuff private from Mozilla.

I don't believe that is what the poster meant. I think the meaning is more like, "if the reason you love research is because you want humanity to learn more about a topic you know a lot about, you will have a larger impact by impr

That means, IMHO, that you can't only distribute generated Assembly code instead of your original C or whatever. Because while technically "source code" (not a binary!), it is not the form in which development actually takes

The other thread we had about this stated that arbitrary math is possible, but slow as heck (40 times slower or so). You can either tell it to operate on two encrypted items ("multiply value 2 and 4 from the data") or give either

A few years ago, I would notice more misspellings in headers and captions than in the main body of text. This was especially true back when the textarea widget got spell-checking, but input fields did not. Could something like that be at fa

It may be different now, but it was not long ago that browsers would without remorse just let the printed page cut even images in half if a page break happened to be there. It seemed as if all they did was create an image of a length long e

I think it sees your new domain as just a blatant copy of the old one. Quickly set up a server on the old domain and redirect to the new domain, so you tell Google that the new one is the authoritative site.
