I have seen this happen so often. People who evidently don't use or haven't used a Windows based machine in the last 20 years complaining more than anybody else. There are plenty o…

The problem with this 'it is relative' line of logic is that everything can be relative. We need terms that describe stuff regardless of how people perceive it. Otherwise, as you s…

4 hours? You are insane (in a good way), mate. Any less than 7 hours and I literally can't even wake up. If I force myself, my body will literally not respond to my commands and ge…

Why would you give minorities an "easier" time? Why not the same as everyone else?

This is wrong on so many levels it's not even funny. Original HN submission WRT that link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20799705

On Chrome, you can hit CTRL + G, which does the same as CTRL + F, but is not hookable by web sites

OP seems to never have heard of public transport. Wait, are they American? Most likely.

The author disabled resizing (zooming) on mobile, leaving the text unreadable. Why do people do this at all? I've seen it happen so often.

Only 355687428096000 years old? Mustn't have even finished college!

You are taking things out of context. For starters, they did not do that on the iPhone 5S, only on 6 and newer [0]. [0]: https://www.apple.com/iphone-battery-and-performance/

Not really. A skilled reverse engineer does not find/replace any certificates, or anything like that. They just debug the app, stepping over all the code, instruction by instructio…

This method would be a waste of time and energy. Just reverse the app and find it out. No need to play it like a binary is a magic black box that's impossible to inspect.

Can confirm, just got a slight arrhythmia just by reading that

You don't see .jpeg because people are used to .jpg. There's nothing incompatible with long names that we care about. Also, that Windows feature you mention is called ADS - alterna…

You're comparing apples and oranges, too. OP was talking about functional facial unlocking

> The only tricky part is the message-sending routines, since they have to be written in assembly Why? (context: never touched Objective-C)

You're talking about AMT (which runs on the Intel ME - Management Engine). The ME itself, however, is on every CPU (running Minix on Skylake and later CPUs, ThreadX on earlier mode…

That security bug you're talking about can be patched the same way it's exploited. No source code doesn't mean "all is lost". Instead of writing a payload that steals your private …

Not really. The amount of samples that check for debuggers is surprisingly high, and thus makes such red flag unusable. It'd just spam false positives.

China has around 70% [1] of the Bitcoin mining power, and the top three miners hold around 50%, which is so massive, it makes everyone else seem negligible, like an experimental er…

Sure, but that's open source and you can disable automatic updates, meaning they can't change the code whenever they feel like doing so. And if they do, the code will be kept in th…

It's not like editing a value in the registry is "going out of your way", it's almost standard Windows practice by now.

> Do you honestly believe that Linus would accept core kernel changes for the sole purpose of supporting Windows on Linux? It would NEVER. HAPPEN. Kinda off-topic, but, isn't Linus…

So you're refusing to have a basic update installed? Let me guess, you're going to complain and say Windows is insecure because you got WannaCry'd because you didn't update your sy…
