How exactly did they get around the 2FA? I'm guessing the app he installed stole his password when he entered it, but he does say that he had 2FA enabled. How did they get around this and log in to his account? Or did the app somehow s

Global Times (China's CCP-run English Language News Portal) claims that ByteDance will NOT sell TikTok-US operations to Oracle or Microsoft. Edit: They're probably being technically correct about "sell", but not so much

Missing from the list: vifm It's the best file manager I've used. It gives you 2 default panes in the terminal, and you can use vi-like commands to operate on one or multiple files. Especially good for operating on multiple files

Thank you for this - just what I needed! Tree-style tabs always seemed like a bunch of tabs thrown together with no organization, but your extension gives it the context that the user explicitly defined in the form of containers. I use mult

Genuinely curious - how did you know that it was a trans-national submarine cable? I mean, I would probably have dismissed it as a local fiber optic cable or something...

Cherry picking facts that strengthen only one side of an argument is as bad, or even worse than getting the facts wrong. "Wrong facts" are easily caught. Facts that are omitted or those that are presented without context are only

Interesting. Because I've several times come by articles in the Economist on subjects that I know, which argue a divisive point based on certain facts. But more often than not, the "facts" presented are deliberately one-sided

About 10-12 years ago, almost every construction I came across in Bangalore used to use river sand. Today, most construction sites I see use M-sand or manufactured sand. River sand is at least 4x the cost of M-sand and that has automaticall

The hardest part is to get power management right. Anyone can build a modem that "works", but nobody other than Qualcomm, (and I really mean that), has gotten power management right. What I mean is that even today, if you buy a 4G
