I was just thinking this. Again, I haven't been able to read the article but I was under the impression that the FBI paid to crack this one phone, I didn't realize that they have this tool that could 'hack' more iPhones

Paywalled for me here in the UK. I assume the title sums up the article? Since I can't read the article, from anyone that can, how did they come to that figure? Is that just the cost of the exploit or..? Cheers

So.. how is 'freebooting' different to posting on reddit/HN/imgur/$site ? You're growing your 'brand' as a poster of interesting/funny things (as seen via Karma), I suppose that as long as these

Curious to know if it's even possible to know whether a driver has manually sent a text message / composed it via voice / given it to the passenger to compose text. At least with breathalyzing, it's binary. You're e

The video itself is region-blocked for me here in the UK. Any mirrors?

At first with that Pillow Case game, I wasn't too impressed, it seemed to have one gimmick. But holy hell, as it went further on with the person resizing/fourth wall escaping I was interested.

Much easier to plausibly deny it was you in IRC, with Snapchat etc, it's much harder to deny that you sent the photograph of yourself from your mobile device.

Is there a way to scrape these programatically? I feel like it'd be a useful repository to have stashed away for whatever future reason.

I find it pretty trash for discovery and things like playlists. I have 368 artists of stuff and it's quite unwieldly. Looking at Koel now.

Yeah, I had to leave a few meetings to 'get a drink of water' when we were discussing this. I wasn't the only person in the room who did. We got a lot of odd looks from seniors in that meeting. Perhaps it's only a millen

I feel like this will always be an issue, due to the heavy militarization of local police. When any swatting could be a real incident, I suppose they have no choice but to go in with guns drawn and ready for anything.

No. Try playing some video content on C4, if you're running any kind of adblock, it refuses to play. There was a bit of an 'arms race' back when it was first introduced between C4 and developers on the internet. C4 won, adblo

That looks like an amazing server. What's their policy on P2P traffic? I host fairly large data sets for analysis at work and the most stable way to get them from one place to another is via packing them into torrents. Would this be fr

I think Kimsufi works pretty well. I think their data cap is 5tb a month for about £10, so it's hardly bored billionaire status. EDIT - Unless you meant consuming from mobile, in which case I pretty much agree.

I'm not too sure what you mean by a generation completely dependent on government. Or high sense of entitlement. 23 year old graduate here from the UK - never touched welfare in my life, never had to. But happy to pay tax for those tha
