It’s possible for both to happen. People might switch chat apps in the short term, but reconsider buying an iPhone in the next cycle (esp. if Apple makes a habit of killing off popular apps).

Incognito basically just means "doesn't show up in my history". There are many, many, ways to track users without needing cookies.

I remember in the early 00's having access to a copy of Microsoft Encarta in elementary school. We would have research-based projects (e.g. look up history of $topic and write 2-page "report" while citing sources). Students w

Could you give more details about these tests and why the tests can't be modified to set DNS/NTP?

by wrkronmiller 6y ago
interesting point, but I'd think DHCP or a baked-in config file in the system image would do the trick no?

Could someone explain why systemd needs DNS/NTP fallbacks to begin with? Why aren’t these both runtime configs? EDIT: I assumed there were also runtime configs based on the name "fallback." My question is primarily why you ne

I think you bring up good points but your takeaway is 180 off. Different jurisdiction means less likely to be answerable to your local government should they be oppressive. The fact you don't have a contractual relationship with a CDN

It's doubtful that advanced computer vision is required to steer a tractor around a field. Adding it might improve yield somewhat, but consider the law of diminishing returns.

Didn't happen on Safari Version 14.0. What browser you using?

That’s a really interesting point. Can you think of a good reason for services like internet to be post-paid? I cannot. Perhaps the reason they are is specifically to enable these distasteful collections practices?

> Anything essential is going to want to be in the App Store, in order to reach customers. The logical extension of that argument is that the Hey app would still be in the App Store and still be facing this exact problem.

Cynically: because they can. Benefit of the doubt: Apple provides a great deal of value for app creators in the form of documentation, development software, a distribution network, payment provider, etc... all of which costs money.

You would probably rack up hundreds or thousands of dollars per month in data charges.

I imagine it's best-suited for corporations making devices that can be deployed to arbitrary countries. It looks like you're paying an enormous premium on data for the ability for this sim to "just work" internationally.

There's a moral argument w/r/t the concept of stealing IP, but in the context of education there is arguably more damage being done. If you steal a design for a jet turbine, you still have to learn how it works and you add th

I wonder if this could be used to grab more sensitive data from apps that support browser extensions (e.g. from password managers that use websockets to communicate with browser extensions).

I agree this is quite disturbing. It does not, however, sound like an attacker can establish arbitrary TCP connections (at least using the technique from the article). Instead, the attacker can determine if something is listening on a port

IANAL but this type of websocket port scan seems inherently different from what Shodan does. Shodan is outside your network's firewall, therefore only able to access services you've exposed to the wider web. If I understand the ar

Do you think the degree to which a company succumbs to one of these "pathologies" matters? Is it a matter of timing (i.e. becoming successful faster than they become moribund)? What do you think differentiates a company that becom
