Do you know of any tool that does a good job of finding files that differ only in their metadata or even better can use a perceptual hash to find possible matches? Geeqie's find duplicates seems to do the latter, but afaict you can&#x2

In theory this was nice, but having actually dealt with it in production IE had all sorts of weird bugs with it. Mixing JScript & VBScript (much less PerlScript!) in ASP was even worse, the order of execution of the different language b

It doesn't, we didn't call them trolls on Usenet as a positive thing. The first trolls were still assholes and existed mainly to disrupt conversation and try to start fights between each other. If the height of your personal accom

There is no source, if it was true children simply wouldn't have died in numbers high enough to detect so far.

The issue for heat deaths like the current situation is not just the average increase, it's the _extreme_ temperatures that are killing and they're increasing much faster than the average and occurring much more often. Take a look

The difference is that Apple has built the infrastructure for _global_, continuous image scanning. No need to hack individual phones or know who your targets are, all you have to do is get some images added to list. If you think the Chinese

It's worse than that. They don't even need to release a different hash list for you, all they need to do is add a few images they know you'll probably have (say from your Facebook or Instagram posts) to the regular DB to meet

The part about "without requiring physical access to the target host" would seem to imply that they only need access to a machine on their end for some attacks.

Is there any sign of a real audit or are they just hand-waving it and telling us to trust them?

Not according to some rulings the last few years. A contract requires a meeting of minds.

Ah, I hadn't noticed you declaring your financial interest before and was wondering if you were a Brave employee.
