How they "know": The copyright holders join a torrent swarm and log all IPs that give them pieces of their copyrighted content. They then send infringement complaints to the IPs' ISPs alleging that someone with that IP was in

Speaking of Mac software from the previous century, today I learned that the web browsers iCab and OmniWeb are still around. OmniWeb first came out in 1995 for NextSTEP and was later released for Mac OS X. I believe it was The Omni Group&#x

I'm finding it harder and harder to search for things from recent history. They killed reverse image search for Lens, which is borderline useless. Image search no longer has its date range filter. You can still use the undocumented key

As of a few years ago, an Apple employee told me they were primarily running on OEL (Oracle's Red Hat-based Linux). As for why Oracle: I think they said something along the lines of Oracle indemnifying them -- or being best equipped to

To my knowledge, no Russian targeting plans have ever been declassified, but an open source project called OPEN-RISOP[^1] has a few hypothetical attack plans that give some idea of what would be targeted. Its creator, David Teter, is a form

> App Store forbids third-party browser engines Mozilla is justified in challenging it, but I don't know if they want to go pulling that thread. Safari's monopoly on iOS devices is the only reason a sizable number of developers

Are they throwing money at it? Or, more to the point, why do legacy automakers have such a hard time shipping polished software?

You're correct that that is the only permanent solution, but it can be bypassed until the next reinstall or major OS upgrade on Macs like this one as long as (1) you're able to change the boot device and (2) there is not a firmwar

Don't get caught doing it. I seem to recall that being one of the few times in a criminal trial where a jury can be instructed that they may make an adverse inference. (IANAL)

How did they hack their phones? I vaguely recall it being possible at one point for an attacker to get into someone's voice mail by spoofing the target's caller ID and calling their carrier's voice mail access number. Was it

I just took a quick look at how this is doing its thing, and if I'm not mistaken -- and please correct me if I am -- isn't this sending sensitive information to your server? When you activate this via the contextual menu item, it

I only claimed a minor barrier to unmotivated tracker stripping. By that I mean a hurdle, not tamper resistance. So in the worst case you're no worse off than what the existing unencrypted system affords you. Indeed, rotating the key h

Sure you can. Even if the key is rotated monthly for 20 years, we're talking ~4 KB of memory for all the keys. But remember that this isn't being done for security; it's just adding a minor barrier to casual removal of the tr

True, but that redirect service can be stupid simple if the URL has all the information it needs to do the redirect encrypted in the URL. So no new DBs. The URL gets a little longer, but a format-preserving encryption scheme might be able t

Anger and frustration is obviously not an appropriate response to constructive feedback offered in earnest, but do you have any insight into why they respond that way? Like naïveté as to why it's usually a bad idea to do that, them mis

That seems like it risks creating conflict out of what's often just a misunderstanding. Assuming it's a corporate environment (it's fuzzier in the open source bazaar): If it's the first time or I don't really know t

The stupid simple way I did this ages ago was: 1. Start with a-z. 2. Drop all vowels, numbers, most homoglyphs, and the letter 'x'. 3. Map digits 0-9 to one of the remaining letters. 4. Stringify the integer and replace the digit

Good. In fact, how about a release that's just bugfixes and stability improvements? Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" was marketed as having "zero new features" and people still talk about how it was Apple's best OS

rmlint has a neat feature where it can write the checksum to the file's xattr (along with the mtime when it's calculated) so that it doesn't need to recalculate it in future passes. If the file comes up as a dupe candidate ag
