It was in the original article title when I posted this; I believe they edited it.

“Root access” and “root certificate” are entirely unrelated, but this article seems to conflate the two terms.

It might be more of an attempt to scare them than anything.

This all started with what I assume was a murder, so they’re well aware of the risks.

Someone with a grudge, I suppose. If you’re not happy with the company for which you work, you might be inclined to voice your dissatisfaction. All it takes is one person to slip up.

That’s not entirely true; it seems to depend how much effort you put into informing them that you want to cancel. If they make it too difficult, then they’re creating all sorts of legal issues. They’d have to be pretty ballsy to sell it to

I’ve had that happen to me once in all the years I’ve been doing this sort of thing. A BBB complaint sorted that out pretty quickly.

How would it? GDPR only protects personal information of individuals, and even then only in specific cases.

I’ve used DoorDash and Grubhub quite a bit. They’re both quick, reliable, and generally seem to care more than your average pizza delivery driver. The drivers will typically go out of their way to make sure you get your food on time and sti

On one hand, the BBC and most universities tend to be fairly reliable sources of information. On the other, this Twitter user’s argument is fairly logical and, despite the coarse wording, isn’t really making any extraordinary claims. Her st

This seems flawed in that you're encouraging companies to produce milk that lasts longer above all else. I'd rather they prioritize quality. If there's a brand that tastes better to me, I'm likely to buy their milk ove

In OOP, isn't that essentially just overloading? In many OO languages, you could write both of those lines as-is (with corresponding method bodies) and have valid code. They'll typically be treated as two separate methods that j

It's backfired at least once, though. There are times when a class-action lawsuit would be significantly cheaper for the company. For example: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/chipotle-mandatory-arbi...

If you click on the authors' names, you'll get enough info to roughly determine their areas of expertise. Based on a few names I clicked, it sounds as though they're focused more on brainstorming potential solutions for ener

I recently had nearly the same exact problem with Microsoft. Security department is a black box—zero communication. A friend working for Microsoft even escalated my case internally at the time, but nobody could do or see anything. My accoun

Unless you're actually licensed to distribute the trailer, you don't actually have the right to do so, I believe. Of course, the copyright holder probably isn't going to care if you do it in a way that helps them, but it&#x2

This might not be the answer you're looking for, but I've found that posture--particularly the angle of my elbows and wrists--makes a huge difference. I've been told that my elbows and wrists shouldn't be wresting on an

Fifty years from now there's going to be a PBS documentary with the true story. Until then, we have no way of discerning fact from fiction, and any real intel is going to remain highly classified.

If the dongle is for licensing: 1. You probably don't need it. I don't know about the legalities involved here or what the specific license is, but there's probably a trivial way to circumvent the hardware requirement, espec

Don't quote me on this, but I'm fairly certain it's not reasonably possible to get a proper VM running on Windows 2000. Even if you can get some form of virtualization working, it's going to be far too slow and cumberso

I don't think you're going to be able to go the virtualization route with Windows 2000 as the host. As the client, sure, but not as the host. You'd need at least XP. For many contractors, Windows 2000 as a requirement would

Option 6 seems like the most viable to me, but it's still a long shot. If they wanted to upgrade, they would've done that a long time ago. At the end of the day, they don't want to upgrade. I'm sure they could get sof

I think you're out of luck. Hindsight is 20/20, but shouldn't their hardware and software requirements have come up long before you started development? How did you get to the point at which you were actively developing wit

Their argument is that we have yet to determine the real-world consequences for the correlation observed in the experiment. In other words: yes, ibuprofen seems to affect something, but we don’t really know whether that effect is significan

Should they really be linking personal accounts with reputable commercial accounts, though? What if one of your developers who has access to the commercial account has published something shady on their personal account?
