There's already models specifically for things like identifying players in Counter-Strike 2, including which team they're on. Someone has even rigged up a system like that to a TEN…

There are some things regular distros can't/shouldn't do, like including codecs still under patents, matching proprietary Nvidia drivers with the correct kernel version, proprietar…

I believe it's: sanm LucasArts SANM/SMUSH video

Popped in that context means hacked. Like in the same usage of pop in "popping a shell". I do not think he meant it as any kind of physical/death threat.

The domain that the verifier (the site trying to authenticate you) is at is part of the cryptographic process. If the domain doesn't match (ie you're at a phishing site) then the r…

It's been supported by qBittorrent since 4.4.0 released in January 2022 when built with libtorrent 2.0. The official docker images still use libtorrent 1.2 though as that is the de…

That's if he had gone with the delay mechanism built into the law if there was a plan to sell it in the works. This is just ignoring the law.

Google Authenticator does support exporting and syncing now: https://security.googleblog.com/2023/04/google-authenticator...

I think their point was that it's less phishable from the perspective of needing the attacker to try logging into the site with it in realtime instead of being able to just store t…

From my understanding, it didn't scan all of the files on the device, just the files that were getting uploaded to Apple's iCloud. It was set up to scan the photos on the device be…

A law by the government requiring proactive scanning of photos would in fact make the whole situation worse in the US because there would need to be a warrant if the government is …

A passkey is a synced, discoverable WebAuthn credential. While many implementations protect the private keys with additional security measures like secure enclaves or TPMs, it's no…

Generally attestation is not supported outside of enterprise contexts and Apple for example doesn't support it without mobile device management policies being applied to the device…
