If there is a sustainable market for higher volume/quality/durability products for a higher price, it is in the interest of companies - new and existing - to capture it, as by defi…

It prevents event dispatch, upon which this exploit relied. The same could be achieved without listening to clipboard events, in which case the setting would be insufficient. I'm n…

Huh, I don't know about the world of HSMs or crypto and their audits, but in FedRAMP SaaS, you absolutely have to run everything with FIPS mode enabled, there are strong guarantees…

You can disable it on Firefox by setting dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false. I haven't had any issues with it. Someone shared the code in the comments, it uses 'copy' and '…

Also interesting to look at the chart per country. [2] US fossil fuel is 4x entire Germany, while for China just coal is over 8x all of Germany. So good and relevant news at a loca…

Nothing new about that

The same can be said about Flock, or other surveillance state mechanisms. It's good for security, it's more convenient than police doing police work. Until it's not. Until it's hac…

Yes but also as always a people problem. People put the cameras and monitoring systems in place and operate them, to govern other people who ultimately yield to be governed, as the…

I use a separate user for all development tasks, its home folder contains all repositories I work on, and nothing else, and that is all the IDE and the AI assistants have access to…

Even if all applications look at the OS trust store, in my experience there's always a gap distributing the CA to every consumer, leading to time spent on debugging from time to ti…

EU driving assists are obtrusive to the point of making driving less safe in my experience. Great video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-S76WEl25k

Couple of things that could be done, from the top of my head: - Strip links, script tags, etc - Apply the same filters used in user comments - Add a warning indicating user-generat…

Driving a rental car in Germany almost makes me cheer for the ongoing bankruptcy of their auto industry. It really needs a full reset at this point. Sad thing is EU law mandates fo…

I've had the "problem" of forgetting syntax before any AI, with IDE autocomplete. It was only ever a problem when switching jobs and being expected to write syntactically correct c…

Biometrics is just something else to get leaked, terrible idea because it's even more sensitive (can be used to track you through cameras for example, like used in the Iran war). T…

You can also race it with another promise, which e.g. resolves on timeout.

In Brazil you already can't access some government services without a smartphone, such as paying for municipal parking in various cities. So if you own a car but not a smartphone, …

Ah, so the minutes long wait hearing answering machine bs is a universal experience. I thought it was a local thing and limited to ISPs, utilities, and financials... When I can cho…

I've used it for several years now, it's a great app. Not perfect, there is noticeable lag to capture high resolution images, and lacks shutter speed control. Still, beats other FO…

And for most it would be a valid point. Nozick makes the best case for this.

>every country that has imposed a considerable sugar tax has seen benefits across the board Is there strong evidence for that? The first study that pops up if I search this suggest…
