Oh, come on. No https. No way to change your credentials (email/password) later. No way to delete your account. Weeks start on Sunday, only English time format. Haven't tested further.

Though BitTorrent always includes uploading, too. That's the really risky part.

There was some similar discussion in Germany last year. The major ISP announced to throttle monthly traffic above 70 GB in the future. Funnily enough they told that 70 GB are enough for every user while telling everyone that Internet traffi

So why do I need that app at all if I could just go to work in time? Why should you come late if you specifically want to be punctual?

Go to Twitter settings and remove the access for that app. Bypassed. Uninstall or flight mode might be another idea. Seriously, all those todo/productivity/alarm apps that try control you are just bullshit. At least as a techie yo

reCaptcha was always a free captcha service based on one simple idea: one part is the classical one, hopefully only readable by humans, the other one actually supports Google on doing OCR-like jobs. Previously it were undetected words from

I'm still not sure what exactly your plan is. Just moving your landing/marketing page or the whole ecommerce frontend? WordPress is nice if you need a blog or at least a CMS for luser or if you need some framework to build on. Is

I rather think this is an America phenomenon where they actually banned words from public media like I never seen it in other developed countries. [1] Nobody here has a problem with vile language as long as it isn't within a children&#

Typical DRM/crypto problem. As soon as one party is out of your control (e.g. client on end-user device) you already lost. Even on the iPhone you could do a jailbreak. You could only make things more difficult, in worst case you would

Why exactly is that bad? Decompiling is a common tool, not only on Android. And however, Android notices that the app is signed differently, so it's still secure.

So, you don't think that just enough people down-voted this bullshit thread? Maybe you are the one wrong on that topic. Maybe you should do your homework.

You don't wanna get it, right? I just have to trail you in the train or in a coffee or something. Every flat surface you'll touch will have you fingerprint on ... a 5 minute YouTube tutorial is all I have to follow then ... And no

I can only speak for the old Boxcryptor version which is actually a slightly feature limited, proprietary implementation of encfs. TrueCrypt uses a container, encfs instead encrypts on a per file basis. So a small change is more easily to s

That's actually the reason why people who are blocking new transmitters are somehow dumb. Less transmitters means higher peaks for people near one. Still you have to be cautious what studies you believe.

As you said, the hierarchical system is somehow broken. You are just paying to get a cert that is trusted by the browser and therefore looks fine for the user. Also you get some insurance thing and maybe a nice button to place in your web s

To be honest, I don't get your comment. Neither does GetSSL use a EV cert nor is the usage of EV certs limited to resellers.

I never talked about the legal part. Of course it is legal since their terms might likely allow this. I just don't see it that wrong like you do. I wonder, if there is an argumentation to really call them stupid. And I don't even

Well, the Internet is dynamic isn't it? Other services are already freeing inactive accounts, email or e.g. Twitter handles, and think of changing mail service owners and domain changes, too. And why should a service hold an email fore

Exactly. Get one cert per domain including one subdomain for free, get as much as you can handle for $60 per 2 years. Compatible with every modern OS (so no old Windows XP). That offer can't really beat that.

Sounds handy, but at some point breaks the concept of not saving the main password on any platform. Still not that bad, since app specific passwords only are in use if you also have 2-factor-login.

Of course, they don't ask for a specific password. "Encrypt synced passwords with your Google credentials" is impossible in times of app specific passwords, right?

If NSA has to ask Google to get into their datacenter, it's already as bad as if Google gives them the data (or is forced to do so). Also some companies, e.g. CloudFare has it documented somewhere, also use TLS 1.2 in their internal ne
