How about we actually participate in this one first.

Strava has trivial to use controls to shut down this type of data gathering. You simply define zones on the map as privacy zones and voila, any travel in those areas will simply not appear publicly, and will not be part of public heat maps

Don't do this. Contrary to popular belief, telnet is a protocol beyond simply opening a bidirectional pipe over a socket. There are negotiation steps and the like. Just install telnet if you need it. It's not like Apple actually w

A far simpler problem exists: you can't actually define what is or is not politics.

So ... exactly like Uber in the beginning. Seems reasonable from a business standpoint given the historical precedent there then.

You just explained that your behavior itself was odd (you are sick.) Have you considered that you've not normally done this and so you've never noticed that this is always what happens? My local grocery store has premade foods, li

For anyone with any kind of reasonable background suggesting they can do the job, the alternative is simple: just give them the job on a probationary basis. Give 5 people the job, tell them one will keep it after a 3 month contract period.

We have a few intersections like this near me, and as a cyclist I can assure you that you really don't see anything. It's crazy. But luckily they are all traffic controlled with full on signals so there's no ambiguity about w

The way I read it, it's not immune, just harder to attack. Furthermore, Meltdown and Spectre are just two specific ways to attempt a whole class of attacks and could be improved upon especially now that the whole world's attention

It's affected by the bug and will never be patched.

Clearly a problematic exchange, but, nowhere is it said that this is a bug bounty program interaction nor is it an account of Apple denying promised payment for such a program. I'm certainly not justifying a poor communication and resp

Are you basing this opinion on this one account? I would like to point out that Uber has a history of sleaze and would absolutely not use their behavior to judge any such programs. Are there other well described, similar instances of such p

Tired of people blaming machines for working as designed when they have full control over the behaviors they are complaining about. It's a single checkbox in the system prefs to disable this system wide by default. These are supposedly

FDA is given power to do a necessary job: keep us from eating poison instead of medicine, or whatever. But the same power is abused to prevent competition by "suggestion" of the industry that provides these medicines. It's ha

These libraries in languages like python remind me of when Windows 95 was new and a bunch of Win3.1 compatible clones of the win95 task bar appeared. People are often satisfied by the veneer of something better, because, they were told it w

The argument against Pando is that it's fractured into many smaller parts that are no longer connected.

There is no such implication. In fact she specifically implies otherwise. It's just a matter of not making assumptions of specific knowledge.

This is doable but unappealing as the OS will see the display is gone, and relayout the desktop environment every time you switch. Depending on your OS, and your personal concerns about all your environment behaviors, you might not care. I

Is it necessary to you that the display actually be disconnected from power? I use display port on most of my displays and don't have the issue with simply turning off the monitor. But, that's because the monitor doesn't REA

I've only used KVM switches on the desktop. Try to think outside your own experiences.

This does not meet the requirements of a modern workstation by my or the original article's requirements. This is limited to 1080p. We're looking at 4k as a minimum.

Nice ideas but for the love of god what is up with the syntax resulting in lines with nothing but an indented semi-colon? Pleeeease reconsider this. You may not think it matters but people make terrible language choices every day on such ba

Root can absolutely be disabled. OS X normally runs rootless. This vulnerability actually both gives access AND enables that disabled root account in one action. From that point on, root is active with no password regardless of how you auth

Uh I tested redisabling the root account and it reenabled the flaw. You have to keep the root account enabled.

Yeah and with the 16-4's you can get like 686 or something. DOCSIS 3.0 is pretty great still.

Why wouldn't you acquire indentured servants on the cheap from countries with even more draconian work ethics than the US?

The SB6190 is a $95 product right now. Plus, it's just DOCSIS 3.0. You can get decent DOCSIS 3.0 modems for ~$50 if you don't need maximum speeds. If you've got under ~300mbps connection, you could replace it pretty cheaply.

You can still use AirPods with non-Apple Bluetooth devices. The pairing process isn't as braindead easy of course, but they do work. That implies they adhere to the standard at least to some degree. I personally only use my AirPods wit
