I use a browser extension from https://authenticator.cc/ While I do not know whether its UX is similar, it does have a sync feature (but not cross-browser), an export feature, can backup its data to Google Drive, can store

In a corporate setup, it also somewhat protects against intentional policy-violating password sharing between employees.

Very well worded: "VMware vSphere Hypervisor (free edition) is no longer available on the VMware website" Almost an invitation to download it from various alternative places.

The "funny" thing is that the underlying algorithm is often still TOTP. What the banks do not like is the standard QR-code based mechanism of key distribution and the possibility to export the key.

What a "nice" way of excluding candidates who did not manage to stay 2+ years in their last role.

What we are doing is to find simple questions with short answers that require a minimum amount of understanding, but which ChatGPT cannot solve correctly without a lot of prodding. Example: https://chat.openai.com/share&#x2F

The badly signed records are still there in various provider's DNS caches as of now. 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 in the Philippines are still affected - cannot resolve .ru domains.

Was that a Chinese SIM or a foreign SIM in roaming? Hong Kong SIM cards are an effective way to circumvent the Chinese firewall, and, if you don't mind the prohibitive cost, they work against the Russian firewall, too.

This relies on a false assumption that the sanitizer is static.

It can be interpreted as you suggest, but does not necessarily come from the person in charge. It might mean that auditors forced the installation of a WAF because of $REGULATIONS (irrespective of the actual code quality) and refused to all

It is important to specify which kind of latency percentile this is. Checking on a customer's cluster (made from 336 SATA SSDs in 15 servers, so not the best one in the world): 50th percentile = 1.75 ms 90th percentile = 3.15 ms

Your account password is too powerful, for example, it allows anyone who knows it and can provide the 2FA to change non-email settings, such as the preferred languages, the list of bank cards attached to the account, see the places visited,

Evil manager from hell: nope, you can still reconfigure the <thing> to use telnet. At least it would be then plain obvious that there is no security, instead of the current security theater with DSA.

Availability bias. There are ex-googlers (for example, me) who do not write that and don't even mention that company in their CV, in my case - exactly because working there for only 4 months would not look good. Slightly edited ChatGPT

Just as another data point, a CPU-only setup with Q5_K_M would give you roughly 4 tokens per second on a Ryzen laptop (Dell Inspiron 7415 upgraded to 64 GB of RAM).

And so what? Your existence, as well as existence of Earth and anything else made of nuclei and electrons, relies on quantum effects.

I don't see how Starbucks is going to trigger this. The NAT device is physically in the same building as the laptop, so the segment between the laptop and then NAT (which is what results in the difference in TCP/IP ping vs websock

No. It works in a very simple way. The visitor's IP address is pinged by the server running the test. At the same time, the client establishes a websocket connection to the server, exchanges a few messages, and latency is measured this

I am scared of the situation where the paperwork is done and the money is spent to do it, but it all stays on paper without any actual security improvements. Using your example: the internal auditor would write something like: "It was

My questions would be: is it possible to improve the visual results if we lift the restriction to only two levels of brightness of each pixel? I.e., would a use of proper grayscale allow creation of smaller fonts that are still readable, or

But we are not talking about overriding legislation. The question is, can GPL4 say "you cannot use or distribute this software" if there is a legal risk to the creator?

Does the RETURN statement work correctly on Amstrad when there are multiple subroutines in the call stack? I.e., does every RETURN return to the line after the corresponding GOSUB or after the latest one?

When the Nokia N900 was the new thing, it was specced to support 16 GB MicroSD cards, which is, again, none of the standards. They did it because, at that time, there were no actual 32 GB cards on the market, so they could not test the supp

With a recent llama.cpp, Mixtral, when run using CPU only (8 threads), produces 4 tokens per second on a Dell Inspiron 7415 laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, upgraded to 64 GB of RAM. As this is an APU, even one layer is too much for the VRAM,

I have never asked where these requirements come from. Possibly, they are just the whims of that customer. To me, they seem to be written as a windy way to require connecting through a mobile hotspot managed by the operator.
