I don't mean a couple of spares, I mean a warehouse good for a year (thus "plenty"). Or, multiple suppliers. There are multiple options that can work, but you have to do one correctly. I'm particularly bothered by throwi

Of course they "had control". They could have evaluated airbags and suppliers better, they could have made sure they had two different suppliers they could use for any particular model, or alternatively that they have plenty of sp

This is why some people go for more manual and minimal distros and desktops ... fewer bugs. I use mostly Arch Linux, with the core components of the Mate desktop environment. But I've used Ubuntu a lot in the past (and even a bit curre

That's true - human chosen passwords are vulnerable to more clever non-brute-force attacks. This effect is rather different than the interplay between computer power and hashing schemes though. (Thus my strong qualifications about full

A fully random 8 character password, using uppercase, lowercase, and digits, should still be OK today if hashed with bcrypt (or similar or stronger scheme). I searched around and found someone posted some hashcat-ocl benchmarks done with a

Because people like you, and "UI/UX experts", have put so much effort into downplaying and hiding simple important pieces of information. This shit is as easy, and as useful, as traffic signs.

Have you used browsers since 1999 or so? First, browsers added a padlock icon on the left for https:// sites. Then, phishing sites, and even banking websites, started using a padlock for their favicon, and users couldn't te

Xen has had page-table and interrupt vector related security vulnerabilities. But I don't think EC2 would use non-ECC RAM, so I don't think it's vulnerable to this "rowhammer" technique. (I also don't think EC2

The "-r" option to less will allow the "raw" control characters to pass through. "less -r" will do what you want.

If you use gnupg 2.0.x, you can set "keyid-format long" in your gpg.conf to get 64-bit key IDs (instead of the classic 32-bit ones). Not really good enough, but a reasonably effective short-term stop-gap measure. IMHO.

Engineers don't like needless restrictions. Can't sell "Arduino" in the EU because of underhanded legal reasons? Ok, fine, that's life. Can't sell "Genuino" in the US? I thought this painful brand swi

Password managers exchange too many strong secrets to remember, for one strong secret you can remember. You just have to turn off any automatic / integration features. I do. Unlock with master password for every use. Really, how often

Computers are indeed not like any of these things. I would compare to chatting with someone and talking them into committing suicide. Wasn't there a court case about this a couple of years ago? This is something that is only consider

ahhhh ... it's because of the "name your own price" model and offering of steam keys. You want to limit to one super-cheap steam-key per person. So that's more of a "promotion" than a classic exchange. Corner c

You can re-verify on the backend however often you like. Make the signed cookie include user-id and date (and maybe a session id). Accept it without backend-check while it's less than X minutes old. Buf if it's older than that, ch

DNS lookups can be and are cached for a while - but the collection of IPs returned (up to 8 IIRC) should all be cached.

Gimp does seem to slow down a lot if an operation would affect a lot of pixels. That's a 13.5 megapixel image, if you're editing a 5MP image, full-canvas operations are much faster. But also, try zooming in on your new 13.5MP imag
