    I've found Compiler Explorer to be very useful indeed, for two main use cases: gaining insight into how security mitigations are implemented in different compilers, and for quickly…

    To give another example, Amon Tobin's Verbal achieves a similar effect through piecing together fragments of vocal samples: https://youtu.be/HsdBgQqBfsM

    Do you have any evidence of this?

    It's the responsibility of the communicating parties to protect themselves against interception if they consider this to be an unacceptable risk. Using end to end encryption for me…

    That's an argument for ensuring that such data is properly secured, not an argument against collecting it in the first place.

    It makes sense to collect everything possible, then discard what you don't need later, because when conducting an investigation you don't know in advance which data are of interest…

    Assuming 32-bit unsigned integers (but similarly for other integer sizes), multiplying by 0x11111111 and shifting right 28 bits would give a function of period 15, at least for inp…

    The WebSDR at http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901 (based in the Netherlands) can be used to hear the station as it is broadcast. Set to 4625 kHz, USB.

    The distinction does make sense though. If an intercept is taken, never looked at, and eventually deleted, then from a 'privacy violation' point of view it may as well not have bee…

    That doesn't help you if the code running outside your filesystem is compromised. For example, a backdoor implanted in the disk firmware would be virtually undetectable for the vas…

    The author of the article believes that their gender cannot be categorised as either male or female (hence a "non-binary" gender), so they prefer for others to refer to them using …
