Hah, well I have a travel router as well I use for things like hotels, but I wouldn't really want to bring it to a coffeeshop because the setup process is a bit onerous. I need to get the travel router to connect to whatever the coffes

The attack is only possible when you have untrusted devices on your local LAN. If you’re already bringing your own gateway with a VPN on it then I’m guessing untrusted LAN devices aren’t much of a concern. But if you did have something untr

Anyone have some insight into the motivation of spam bot behavior? It doesn't make sense to me that they'd intentionally re-post the same link on a story 100+ times. Perhaps repeating the same link is good for SEO farming? Or som

Agreed. These numbers are being cherry-picked. From Amazon quarterly filings[0][1], here's their employees count: - Q3 2019: 750,000 employees - Q4 2019: 798,000 employees - Q1 2020: 840,400 employees - Q2 2020: 876,800 emplo

This title is incorrect. Citi says cutting these 7k jobs is saving them $214k/year/person in costs, but not all of that cost is salary. There’s also employee benefits, services, office space, etc. I’d guess the average salary is

I think we need to consider the context. The attacker ultimately only had control over the lzma library. I'm skeptical that there's an innocent looking way that lzma could have in the open introduced an "accidental" RCE

Apple seems to have just stopped self-hosting their open source code and all old links 404. Google/DDG still have it in the index and Apple doesn't offer a redirect or warning. GitHub is now the only source. They link to various

Like the other commenter said, edit/remove/retry messages can be implemented by the API client already. The API doesn't maintain state so every new message in a "conversation" includes previous messages as context.

Another option is dnscrypt-proxy[0]. It will easily let you load-balance your DNS queries against a large set of resolvers, ensuring that no resolver gets the full picture. And enforces encryption of course. [0] https://github.c

I get around that by downloading the extension source and then using Chrome extension developer mode to “load unpacked extension”. Then I’m confident the extension won’t change on me. (But for this extension I don’t give it all site permiss

Apple's core argument seems to be that building out secure PWA support for 3rd party browser engines is quite onerous. Does that seem credible? Anyone have more insight that can speak to this? A short term compromise would just be to k

The answer is almost certainly no. It means the old APIs that expose phone numbers will stop working in 90 days. And old clients along with them. I have not investigated this at all, but I have enough faith in Signal/Whisper Systems t

Yes I believe this is true. A capable general purpose SDR can do almost all the things that purpose built illegal device can do. What's protecting society is that figuring out how to do this on an expensive SDR is non-trivial. The ille
