    I have to install an app to communicate with my child's state-sponsored daycare. I'll have to install an app to communicate with the teachers at his future school. Is this still fi…

    I suppose they don't believe certain facts engineers are telling them. With Brexit it was coined "Project Fear". Now they're being told that adding backdoors to an encrypted servic…

    I get why this is annoying. However, if you are using docker's registry without authentication and you don't want to go through the effort of adding the credentials you already hav…

    You're essentially suggesting a Drake equation [1] equivalent for the number of security vulnerabilities based on NLoC. What other factors would be part of this equation? [1] https…

    I'm not sure, most vendor camera apps were pretty much tied to the particular camera on the phone, on the phones I've had. For UVC, I usually needed to use another camera app. You …

    Well, I opened them in a plain browser profile and in the non-translated page the options seem clear to me? The buttons literally say this: - Settings / Einstellungen - Accept / Ak…
