References please. Unless its the NY Post, then don't bother.

Because a sitting president has a personal influence and stake in the articles creation and publication, used as a tool to undermine an opposition candidate. Its plain obvious election interference, and the repercussions are staggering, tha

Yet you have no rights on a private platform. Is the New York Times forced to publish the same article? No, and they are a publisher. Their existence doesn't suddenly give you a right to use it and 'publish' what you'd

'planet-scale soapbox' is an even better argument for them to be limited in what they allow... just because they found themselves popular doesn't suddenly make them a public utility

Yes, but still just a responder role. Not many servers support all the roles, which is the part I find most useful. I only recall hearing of one implementation from a well known company that supported filters and authorizers, and was from a

Its too bad this never got more traction, I always thought the ability to define roles was an incredibly smart and useful feature. Defining 'authorizer' and 'filter' allows you to stack all sorts of independent apps - re

How do you mean? If it's a closed system, you'd be able to time travel but you wouldn't be able to exist in your current form, as your particles would just move back to their previous positions during that time period?

Time travel always seemed infeasible to me on the simple fact that if (assuming as law) matter cannot be created or destroyed, the atoms that make up you now were already accounted for in a different time - in a cow, a blade of grass, sta

Appears to show the manufacturing method - plastic strands spot welded together. The inconsistency of the openings is a great example of why the real stuff is so hard to make. It'd be nice to see what the actual scale of this is

I trust the chart because of the source...but my own experience differs - if I'm reading that right, it's saying that it would take 20 seconds upto a max of 400s at 2.5 times rated current: that's 50 amps up six minutes? I ha

Ideally the plug end would be a 20a plug (one blade horizontal), but often in commercial/industrial places you'll find 15a outlets on 20a circuits. If used correctly this would be ok. They're probably made for all the peopl

Multiple gunmen shot at the transformers for 19 minutes ...what about that sounds professional to anyone? That's not a quick attack, accurate shooting, nor the proper ammo to do real damage. Terrorists can't get a .50? The only i

The irony is actually Google ignores/bends standards all the time because they can get away with it.

Given some isolation from prying eyes, a good non-technical method of making a key is to use a blank and grind it by hand. By binding the cylinder and wiggling the key, it leaves marks for each pin that is bound up; grind a little and repea

A tip for surface cabling without major digging for houses with baseboard is to use a router to make a channel in the backside of the baseboard and just run in that. I've seen electricians in the US do this for outlet wiring, in additi

Then you'll learn real quick to secure your database, make backups, or not post personal stuff online. And if you've configured your database that poorly, am I supposed to assume you've properly configured your server against

Some Garmin devices can receive traffic data via radio, which your phone can't do. Garmin also usually has business names and gas stations, whereas I've found Google maps offline will only let you navigate to a specific address (A

I used 'allow' as in, "take into consideration", not "allowed to do something." You're not wrong, but the huge difference is knowing about specific attacks versus constantly assuming your data is always co

A bleepingcomputer article linked below mentions it's possible Garmin would be violating US sanctions by paying the ransom, since Evil Corp (the supposed operators of this ransomware) was sanctioned by the US Treasury department https

By not saying anything, they're actually adding to the fear, rational or not. Ransomware is headlining, and they're pretending it isn't happening. Simply stepping up and admitting it at least allows their customers to take st

If you can't or don't know how to secure it, it shouldn't be online. My argument is more akin to a child learning not to leave their bike unattended on a city street corner overnight. I can come by pick up the bike, and tell

I think you make an important point though - deleted or not, there is no real way to know what's been exposed, and no guarantee that they'll ever admit it; so torch all the data expeditiously, and we'll just have to comb thro

Somehow I feel good about this. The article claims nothing good can come of deleting exposed databases, but I strongly disagree - I'd by far rather my data be deleted than stolen and shared. If the owner doesn't have proper backup

by petee 6y ago
I'd be shocked if they ever admit it was ransomware. Besides nearly no public response, what they finally put out still just frames this as an "unfortunate outage", sidestepping the reality of a (likely) massive data breach.

Would love to know if they've lost control of their Play Store accounts, i.e, is there any risk of compromised app updates?
