I believe it is happening, yes. The obvious plausibility and the way I’ve seen other state-sponsored things (any state) hushed up means the only reasonable thing for me to do is assume the story is ba…

Microsoft have plenty of platforms and products that were abandoned overnight. It’s hard for me to even think of Windows Phone, for example, without thinking of what happened to WP7 buyers when they a…

You don’t have to use multiple clouds day to day, but forcing yourself to design your applications in cloud-agnostic ways makes it worthwhile.

Reddit barely has traditional ads to block. You don’t see them on any mobile client I’ve ever used. The native ads vastly vastly outnumber them anyway, and the only way to get away from those is to le…

I never thought they would shut down Google+ either. It may have been a “failure” in the sense of not beating Facebook, but it had enough traction among hacker circles especially that I assumed it was…

It’s a psychological thing where they don’t want somebody returning an item for a different reason to think “Are there so many counterfeits here that it warrants its own category?” even though yeah, t…

The cycle will always continue. I went through a Newegg era, then an Amazon era, now a similar B&H era as you, and who knows what store will be my go-to a few years from now. The only constant is …

Absolutely, and that’s why good access shouldn’t be so concentrated. My comparison to San Francisco was in the sense that it’s difficult to find good and equitable and affordable residential access in…

I believe it. Maybe not for that exact story with the lack of proof, but considering how such an attack is within the realm of possibility it seems foolish to not assume the handful of the most powerf…

It’s a barrier to entry for equality of many sorts. The right not to be spied on is tied up in the inequality of Internet access. No paid offering for $(NETWORK_SERVICE) can compete with the zero mone…

This happens even within the Bay Area. After going from Comcast Business cable to Sonic gigabit fiber in San Francisco I can never go back. It’s like going from an HDD to an SSD for the first time. Th…

To ensure that the ruling body telling you what you can't use is the only group that gets to use it.

Perhaps they meant the G5 case design which the 2006-2012 Mac Pro shares?

Please forgive my pedantry, but I just wanted to note that you’re referring to the AACS (used for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray) decryption key censored on Digg. The DeCSS stuff with Jon Lech Johansen was five y…

It can be the result of programming in the style of > if(browser == firefox) {new_feature_chrome_does_not_support()} else {old_feature()} instead of > if(new_feature in navigator) {new_feature()…

I love crows enough to put up with it, but it's sad that this page shows the header, the footer, and a giant sea of empty whitespace where the article should be until I allow Javascript from `bbc…

If I may try to read between the lines of that statement, looking at another employee's work "to check if they were working on projects they didn’t like" might be the only way to find o…

There is a hardware vulnerability in the first ~18 months of Switch systems produced. It’s a USB boot mode (like DFU mode in iPhones) from the underlying Tegra chipset and is triggered by pressing the…

Five attackers, perhaps? Spread them around the globe and that seems pretty sufficient to cover everything.

> it's a dual-core CPU without Hyper Threading support Hedging their bets against more vulnerabilities?

This project seems to use Matomo's referer blacklist, so there is hopefully some cross-pollination between the similar projects: https://github.com/ibericode/koko-analytics&#…

AWStats still gets frequent updates. I use it for all of my sites' nginx logs since I prefer that over anything that requires JavaScript. https://www.awstats.org/ …

Lots of other news outlets have not ruined their reputation by _getting caught_ printing outright falsehoods intentionally. Trust no one.

> that you can't trust anything in there to be the truth and not complete fiction Yeah, I'd agree with that. I'd say the same about literally any news outlet on the planet, though.

It's difficult to talk about because there's an angle of blaming the victim to it, and I understand and even applaud peoples' gut resistance to that. When I'm with friends who cros…

From the "Limitations of Key Metrics and Other Data" page of the linked PDF: "Duplicate and false accounts are very difficult to measure at our scale, and it is possible that the actual…
