As best as I can tell this study explores many facets of how humans solve captchas. I couldn't find anything about AIs outperforming humans in the study. Can someone give me a section reference? Solving reCAPTCHA v2/v3 requires

Way more possible today than in the past, but still would be insanely impressive if executed in reality.

Amazon sells it cheap compared to other regions-- it's economically incentivized for us-east-1 to take out half of the Internet.

I don't use Atlas but I do use self hosted MongoDB, and have been pretty happy with that product. I have the impression that a lot of the dirt slung at Mongo was about unreliability and data loss of the core product early on, which (kn

Your options are: (A) Vendor waits until all the facts are in place and the investigation is finished or (B) Vendor tells customers as early as practical so they can take their own mitigation steps. You do not have the option of (C) Vendor

I bet that's because different parts of their stack disagreed. Obviously a two factor setup should not be acceptable when one is already in place-- if the frontend thought it wasn't but the backend/auth services thought it wa

Two things can be true at the same time.

Well a simswap attack requires the account password, since otherwise you would not be able to receive an SMS message for the two factor part. But without two factor, only your account credentials are needed. So yeah, it's definitely

Yeah I didn't think it had, but I've not done too much with Core/5+ yet. I want to use it but I end up just using Typescript/Node by default. I do need to get into the habit of investigating using CLR when a bit more per

The real question is probably "Is COM a bad idea?" And I don't think it is. But COM itself was such a pain to deal with. Notably all of my time with it was spent from within .NET so maybe it was less painful in C++-- but .NET

Yeah, sigh Technically the ".NET initiative" was all about web services. But not the modern kind, it was about SOAP. And I guess also Code Access Security-- a way to run untrusted (and even remote) code securely. Ahem, "sec

Usually breasts aren't audio devices, but it does occasionally happen. Good luck finding some with Bluetooth support though.

If you register your phone number to iMessage without any other iMessage receivers and then turn off that iPhone, messages sent for an extended period of time will continue to be queued for delivery in iMessage. In order for other iPhones t

No the idea is that you forgot to deregister yourself while still on vacation and using a non-iPhone , the Apple Store bit was the "get a new iPhone" part after your vacation is over. And what you link to is what I meant by >

by rezonant 3y ago
Interestingly, if you break your iPhone on vacation and buy a phone that is not an iPhone so that you can still be contacted until you get home to your favorite Apple Store, you are also losing messages, assuming you forget to go through Ap

You can push your own ecosystem of apps and still allow your customers to replace them. I'm not aware of a Samsung app or service that cannot be swapped out. And I struggle even more to find a Samsung component that is designed to crea

I'm not sure how universal that is, but it doesn't really matter when data plans are almost always unlimited. After all, iMessage also goes through cellular data.

by rezonant 3y ago
On most plans in the US, unlimited texting is the only option, and there is no differentiation between SMS and MMS. It's all free with your plan.

Actually no, the end to end encryption on iMessage is envelopes inside the push notifications. The message content is not readable, even if you intercept APNs messages.

Well they didn't cut off Beeper in the way that would block access to older Apple devices. It seems likely that they found a pattern of access performed (or looked at the identifying information provided) by Beeper in order to target i

Hah, that's true. Good strategic timing on Beeper's part I suppose.

1. You cannot opt to use SMS on Apple Messages when talking to someone. If they are registered on iMessage, you are forced to use it. This happens transparently, automatically, and for the most part, silently. This helps to create the illus

What if Ford made it so that their vehicles drive worse when non-Ford vehicles were on the road, and then when confronted about it told all of their customers that they should convince their neighbors to buy a Ford to solve the problem?

People use Beeper Mini because the Apple users they text with want them to. There's zero reason for two Android users to talk over iMessage using Beeper Mini. RCS provides nearly all the same benefits. But when the social pressure is f

What about when the hardware is legitimately sold and reset and a new Apple ID starts using it?

by rezonant 3y ago
Well they could block the client itself, independent of blocking the Apple ID. It's the client that sends the serial information. Your Apple ID only gets associated with it indirectly.

Hmm, how many bits of entropy are in one of these things? Can we calculate the likelihood of collision?
