Yup, I saw one floating over Georgia recently. It floated over from the Caribbean.

Is this really even worth saying? Saying you're being pedantic doesn't cover it.

What if you don't have network and login access to the other person's computer?

That works assuming the client has a public IP address or port forwarding set up, or you're on a local network together.

I'm not saying don't care because it's legal. I'm saying it's inevitable. How new are you all to living in a capitalist society? Stuff doesn't exist for your enjoyment, it exists for someone else's profit.

Why are people upset when a service that is run by a for-profit entity decides to change how it runs? No one is entitled to make money off of YouTube channels, even if you made a lot of money last week. YouTube can change the rules whenever

Remember when people thought Facebook wasn't going to be able to pivot to mobile ads and make money there?

I totally agree with your comment, except for the last bit about 64GB of RAM being unreasonable high. Is it unreasonable to spend thousands of dollars on memory for Enterprise-grade, production-level servers? In my experience, you'd al

I don't think there is much of a difference. People took a while to understand butt-dialing, and not do it as much. It'll take a while for people to get used to voice assistants that trigger seemingly randomly.

This is the normal behavior in iOS, and has been for years. What Apple is doing is _additionally_ disabling the USB port on an even lower level. Currently, the port could still exchange data if it were tricked or hacked, but disabling the p

Google covering their _own_ ass and encrypting their internal data at-rest and over-the-wire has nothing to do with their approach to mobile device security. Any company worth their salt will encrypt traffic that transits any untrusted netw

That is not the same as disabling the entire USB data stack. iPhones have been charging by default, and prompting to sync, since time immemorial. This is a new feature, that logically disables the USB port after 7 days without unlocking.

You're awesome. Edit: is there a reason why I can't download the torrent? Is it not available as a Torrent anymore?

You can technically replace any chip on any device with a better, pin- and voltage- compatible chip. But you need soldering equipment easily tens of thousands of dollars. For example, a Dell desktop I had a while back was the lowest-end SKU

Facebook can't know the MAC address of my router from my friend being here and using facebook. At MOST they could know my IP address, but everyone has Dynamic addresses nowadays and that's a useless data point. Google _does_ know

Good lord this is chilling. It makes me terribly sad to think about the mental torture some people go through that leads them to such an act.

This affects more than just cloud providers though; that is just one of the more high-profile implications of this potential bug.

Nearly all of the people tossed out of their jobs for these claims fessed up to being creeps. A company doesn't need to win a court case to fire someone. You're not entitled to a job. This is America. No one is locking these peopl
