Yep. It's like governments that forbid use of things like facial recognition software by its police departments. Sure, the police department doesn't use facial recognition, but they commonly work around this by using a vendor th

Exactly. Until people are arrested, the government just basically shutdown a REvil billboard. They'll just pop up with a new one. No one has actually stopped REvil hacking operations. There's been a lot of drama with their affi

Did you ask them why they've switched jobs? I've been asked that a couple of times and I guess the answers have been satisfactory enough because I've gotten an offer afterwards. As an interviewer, I've only encountered a

Basically Seattle, too. We've had about 200 incidents of rock throwing at cars on freeways this year. City "leaders" finally did something about it at around incident #175 by clearing the homeless encampments along the freew

Makes sense, but you're still condemning the victim to a lifetime of drugs and compromised immune system with little consequence.

It sounds like the Canadian government just wants to do a bit of bureaucratic legal cleanup, but honestly I'm just confused. If she was denied entry and thus she isn't in Canada, then what's the big deal? Surely she can

I've only worn Doc Martens since the early 90's. For a long time, even after they moved manufacturing to China, they were fine. About 5-7 years ago, though, I noticed the quality took an absolute nosedive. Since then, I found ou

Stuff like this is always cool and gee whiz, but it will never muster in the US that I know of, and I suspect most developed countries. Anything on the bedside, especially in ICU, has to be examined by the FDA to the point where they want t

No, it's definitely different. The Bluetooth permissions come up whenever you pair a new Pokeball/Go Plus/3rd Party Device like Gotcha. It strictly asks if you want to pair a new Bluetooth device. The network discovery is

Yeah, but Let's Go and Pokeball were released years ago. Go Plus was released almost Day 1, if I recall. All of those connect via Bluetooth and never required a network. They all still work just fine if you deny PoGo the permission

Pokemon Go started asking for this back in March with an update. I don't think it was ever figured out why it would want access, and it's certainly not for Chromecast/Roku/AppleTV.

The solution was, and always been, to have someone review every commit to the libraries that your app uses, and raise red flags for security vulnerabilities and breaking changes to your application. Oh, boy, I would love to work for a compa

I bought a Hubitat earlier this year. It just works. GUI's a bit dated, and you kind of have to get used to the philosophy. However, once you get the hang of it, it's reliable, easy, and flexible enough for my needs.

This is what I did, too. But use ext4 instead of HFS+, and use Samba instead of Netatalk. With HFS+, the bundle would get corrupt after a few days. With Netatalk, a sudden power outage would corrupt the whole thing. Don't listen to 9
