Yes you have in a sense. Your WiFi router is broadcasting its SSID and anyone in range can pick up this signal. If you do not wish to broadcast your SSID, you should disable it in your router. What you are suggesting is to me no different t

But wait ... I thought Bitcoin was immune to regulators?

The press release specifically mentions that the cryptocurrency was seized through FBI having posession of the private key.

Well yes, exactly. The original painting has value exactly because it is not a copy. And "owning" the first tweet ever sent? What does that even mean?? At the end of the day "ownership" mostly has any meaning within th

I am hardly surprised. While Bitcoin maybe had theoretical uses as a currency a decade ago, the NFT hype never made any sense whatsoever to begin with.

Yes, PSD2 (Payment Services Directive vol 2) should require strong customer authentication for online payments throughout EU. How Klarna is able to skirt this regulation is beyond me. Either they've found a loophole in the law or they

by vesinisa 5y ago
Wait, so you have to explicitly ask Klarna to not sell stuff under your payment info to random internet strangers? That's not too good either - I think ordering without BankID should be opt-in rather than opt-out.

Finland offers a state of the art digital authentication system. It's just that Klarna doesn't want to use it because it adds an auhtentication step to their checkout process. It's just easier for them to take the random inte

Problem is the invoice itself is real. You have to contest it actively to the debt collector and give at least some evidence as to why the debt is invalid. If you do not actively contest the collection, it will soon end up in court. This is

Klarna is no stranger to criminally lax attitude towards data privacy and security. In Finland, they implemented a checkout flow based only on your SSN (personal ID number). By simply entering someone else's SSN (which is not hard to g

How come you think you will have any community left? A chat network is entirely composed of and founded on the trust of its users. Trust that you have irreversibly severed. If there is no trust, there are no users. Where there are no users,

It does not, but if they choose to publish through Play Store it makes it more difficult to use alternative stores.

Not sure what you are referring to exactly, but Android on the phone only supports signing by one specific key. In the Play Store signing scheme, Google verifies the publisher by requiring that you sign the app first with a specific "u

The Northern Ireland situation was simply resolved the only way it could be. If there was some better outcome for the UK that would have not spoiled the entire integrity of the EU, I am sure it would have been allowed. But no matter how goo

Yet, very rarely do we hear about cryptocurrency being used for anything but speculation and crime. In fact, those are the only two proven usecases for cryptocurrency. Money you can at least use to buy stuff, so it has a marked positive imp

I am not even downvoting that comment because it seems to be such a great example of the blatant cognitive dissonance Tesla and Musk evoke in many people.

Well, the decision can always be reversed, but on the outset I would say banning the entire university and publicly naming them is a good start. I don't think this kind of "research" is ethical, and the issue needs to be rais

Isn't China taking climate change pretty seriously, though? They are the second largest CO2 producer but seem aware of it and are investing massively in developing lots of green tech. Your claim is actually borderline chauvinist, as if

Why is the AMD version limited to "just" 16 GB of RAM? That's sadly not enough for modern development environments.

You are probably doing a bit simpler stuff, if that basic tutorial suffices you. I should have maybe added that I do Android development with Gradle. There you don't as much start with an empty build file to write the tasks to compile

by vesinisa 6y ago
No, Gradle's documentation is really terrible. There is just no easy path to learn it - you will with time and pain learn a bit of the interface, but deep down it remains mostly unfanthonable, unnecessarily complex and filled with st

I honestly have no idea what are you talking about. I really enjoy uBlock Origin on my phone, and that's the primary reason I use Firefox for Android. On iOS Firefox is just an UI to Apple WebView, but that's a matter for antitrus
