Let's say someone ran a service which spun up Windows Virtual Machines, of any model, which were not genuine licenses, for the sake of "security research." Legal? Microsoft outright encourages this. From https:/&#x2F

As someone who’s worked on Telegram clients for years, I can assure you that the protocol isn’t open. It’s quite opaque, and the FOSS thing is mostly a facade.

The actual act of snapshotting doesn’t do a whole lot. I believe ZFS uses CoW for that purpose. If you modify a file after a snapshot, the file (or block) will be copied first. Normally, with CoW, the original would then be marked as free s

It’s fairly graceful with btrfs, and Ubuntu has been doing that by default if the root fs is btrfs for quite a while. The only trouble is that you’re liable to run out of space in /boot/ eventually.

I nearly closed the article after reading his off-topic intro. I was expecting to read about hydrogen, not a rant about other cultures. It really detracts from the quality of the article. I do have to wonder whether this was intentional, t

The items were sold on Amazon, not stolen from Amazon, at least in part. The article is very unclear about whether any of the items were stolen from Amazon, but it does make clear that items were stolen from brick-and-mortar stores.

Useless information like UUIDs is normally removed prior to a leak going public. Public dumps rarely resemble the form of the original data.

As was the claim that was made in Washington Post, according to the judge. Edit: I initially said the claim was made by Washington Post, but it wasn’t their claim.

You shouldn't have to, but the reality is that you do. You can't rely on timely support or a loaner.

As a programmer who works as a contractor, I carry around at least two laptops (one Windows, one macOS) and two phones (one Android, one iPhone). If I'm traveling to an unfamiliar area where I'm not familiar with the theft risks,

Chances are: 1. A backup laptop is cheaper than a backup car. 2. You don't need your car for work; you can take Uber/Lyft or a taxi if need be. 3. If you do need your car for work, you've accepted loss of your car of extended

I'm fairly certain that these patches didn't land until recently, at which point the design decisions were probably already made at Zoom. (I don't know much about Zoom, but that seems like a reasonable assumption.) Addition

The author suggests that using CORS to allow https://zoom.us with http://localhost:19421 is possible. This is factually incorrect. Mixed content policies prevent the http: origin from communicating with the https:

Probably this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/openpgp-flooded-with-spam-by-u... It has no effect on GitHub, though, which doesn’t use keyservers as part of its validation process.

GitHub’s PGP signing feature doesn’t make use of keyservers. You have to explicitly add a PGP key to your account for GitHub to acknowledge that your commits are signed.

Does it really matter? All that matters is what we perceive: from the perspective of both consumers and small business owners, Yelp looks like the bad guy--and that's probably only going to get worse. Nobody is ever going to be satis
