I am totally shocked, SHOCKED that Samsung's by far the biggest list on here :)

I tried DDG for a few weeks... Google is still better, even though its as bad as it's ever been. Really need some disruption here.

Apology mostly accepted. It certainly makes it hard to discuss with people!

Man I remember back in the day trying to run a media PC connected to a TV on Linux and all the fun times with audio. Not a fun time for anyone.

It's a good exercise, you're not doing much with the resulting box though, for sure.

This one seems to be popping up every few weeks. I really enjoyed successfully bootstrapping my own Linux box from scratch after a few unsuccessful tries. Then you have this box that helps you realize how difficult it is to maintain a Linux

Man ain't that the truth. I think it just means we're getting old.

I hope you still feel dirty at least! :)

That explains a lot about current events at Activision/Blizzard :P

Meridian 59 was the beginning of the MUD -> MMORPG transition as far as I can remember. Any TDome players here?

This stuff is so exciting, the childhood sci-fi dreams finally starting to come true! Godspeed sir.

No one "banned" LIDAR.. I think whatever comes to be will rely on more than just vision at some point in years to come. Regardless of what Elon says.

.. you know it already happened once right?

by shmoe 5y ago
Because it probably isn't. How do they respond to LEO requests if they're based in the US?

And that's how we get an FBI order to create a hacked version of iOS that allows unlimited passcode guesses in succession.
168.
by shmoe 5y ago
Do they? Consumer level? Or are you able to view your files in the cloud which inherently implies they have that key.
169.
by shmoe 5y ago
Any other company would've created that hacked version of their OS that allowed unlimited guesses at the passcode and not fought it in court... It's not like Apple's actual stance on privacy is without precedent.

by shmoe 5y ago
They already do.. they wanted to move that device side so they could allow encrypted backups without them having the key, and thus unable to respond to law enforcement. That was the plan here..

Pretty sure the agreed upon method is the review goes thru Apple and then to the Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who host this list of hashes gleaned from images. Also, this has already been done for years by every single cloud s

by shmoe 5y ago
It isn't.. but here in reality they're forced to respond to requests by law enforcement for things such as CSAM -- this is the problem they were trying to solve with the on-device scanning. The plan was this would allow for backup

by shmoe 5y ago
Right. Creating the exception where you scan them prior to uploading/being encrypted would be a workaround prior to encryption and is a crappy compromise, but one seemingly necessary in reality if we don't want cloud providers hol

When younger this view made far more sense... no encryption broken ever. There are plenty of legitimate scenarios, child sexual exploitation being one of them where I don't mind and exception or a workaround being applied to catch it w

by shmoe 5y ago
It's exactly what they wanted to do. They wanted to be able to tell the FBI to go pound sand. This CSAM scanning was a step towards it.
176.
by shmoe 5y ago
same "secret" list every other provider you've uploaded a file to uses.
177.
by shmoe 5y ago
Then we get no encryption, or breakable encryption so that you can still be tapped in case you commit a crime - far better situation, yea? Apple resisted building a backdoored iOS for the FBI once.. will that work next time?
178.
by shmoe 5y ago
Yes they do.. they just have the decryption key.
179.
by shmoe 5y ago
I hate to say this .. but are you "using it wrong" ? Never had any issue with any of these 3.
180.
by shmoe 5y ago
Not to mention Google's been doing CSAM scans _in the cloud_ for years. Apple's approach was sensible and likely would've lead to end to end backup encryption.. a shame the stupid, uninformed outcry about it has had this resu
