Nope, the problem is not what you thought of. The low level communication protocols did not consider security issues when they were designed as at which time every peer could be trusted, and thus no Authentication & Authorization mechan

IMO it has not much to do with how every social class are taught but rather the Mathew effect. Put aside those exceptionally smart or dumb ones, most people are more to less with the same capabilities and the class they were born to almost

It depends on how your VPN services are hosted. I actually tried to host VPN myself on google app engine and the first time lasted a day or so before it was blocked. The second time lasted 1 hour or so. The I changed the strategy to create

I thought so too until one day I suddenly found myself was able to access google.com etc. without any issue for days until I search some sensitive keywords when I was in mainland China. So the blocking seems to be heuristic instead of a bla

Well, it's a pity that doesn't matter how hard we try, it's just impossible to make some ppl understand the fact.

Let's cut the BS. The fact was that Ali Cloud failed to report the issue to MIIT (required by law, it has to be report cyber security incidents to MIIT immediately) weeks after notifying Apache(a foreign entity). I'm not sure if s

IMO, nothing. Regarding security/integrity of records, block chain is not better but with more complexity. And for the so claimed decentralization, it is a catch 22: centralized organizations are there for reasons, and block chain reso

Azure has data centers all over the globe, how likely is it to impact all of them? So even if all your infrastructures were provisioned in one single physical data center, it's highly likely the incident had nothing to do with your stu

USB-C itself has nothing to do with data rate at all. It's really the combination of USB-C and USB 3.x standards made things like hell. It was supposed to have one single cable to do everything but the fact is that I have far more cabl

Weren't emergency services numbers supposed to be available, not matter whether the phone is locked or not, and does not even require a SIM card? Then how come an user mode app can block calling numbers that were supposed to be availab

That was just a collateral damage. There are so many scammers and your behaviors were so suspicious to eBay. To those large organizations, simply ban you straight away would be the least costly solution AFAIK.

It might be true you cannot have backlight, but for sure you can have front light. My ~7 years old Kindle paperwhite has that.

This sh*t will almost for sure be in the firmware, just like the Intel ME. Technically you can disable it yourself, practically you simply cannot.

The title makes me think consumption of coffee and tea together leads to higher risk of stroke and dementia. And the conclusion is just opposite.

Oh well, isn't understanding how data types represented one of the first a few thing to begin with a programming language?

People tend to think migrating an application is all about rewriting the program itself. But actually rewriting is only a small fragment of efforts needed. For some large organizations the legacy code base is so large that it would be crazy

Oh well, let's see it from a different perspective, then everything would be much simpler and clearer. The government can actually make housing a lot cheaper but why would it do so? Just take a look at the budget sheets, you will find

Cannot agree more. I had around 300 CR-R/DVD-R and a couple dozen of DVD-RW disks, of various brands, mostly Sony, Verbatim, or Maxwell. Although those claimed to be able to sustain 10+ years, some even claimed to endure 50+ years, qui

Wow, worse than I thought. Was considering ProtonMail, then I asked why I should trust them and the answer was I should not simply just trust them because they were claiming to respect privacy. Tried to host it myself, then it turned out to

Well, there was not such a thing as intrinsic value in neither cryptos nor in any fiats. Fiats at least are backed by the governments. For cryptos, there is nothing backing them nor would anyone really believe in them. The only potential va

Stack was really meant to save parameters for function calls and local variables for functions or in your terms sub-routines. In a well organized program, usually you would not need much stack space unless there was something went wrong, su
