What I don't get in these cases is why they do this if they are not looking for a bribe? Just for sport?

What if they had usb drives with Linux installers in blister packs at electronics stores?

The same "fair use" as when Google trained its model on everyone else's photos.

Did anyone here ever worked under these sorts of "metrics"? I can't even imagine what a torture it would be.

The problem with this feature is that the agents could realize the phone was being wiped. For the duress pin to be 100% effective, it would have to log in normally to a default ins…

> Increased tactile stimulation of the hind legs causes an increase in levels of serotonin.This causes the locust to change colour, eat much more, and breed much more easily. [1] F…

You could jump on a train from NL and be in Belgium in 15 minutes, get a "bootleg" physical copy of the diary and head back to NL. No one is suing for that.

> usernames were passed as arguments to getent(1) to retrieve the corresponding passwd entry Always try to use actual API/system calls (in this case getpwnam) instead of calling su…

Watch his lecture series on YouTube. We you started programming, you had to adapt your brain to the way of thinking of computer programs. Think of this as an continuation of that e…

> life is short—play naked! Such a concise way of saying what I've been thinking for a long time.

Meanwhile in Germany I see, quite literally, 12 traffic signs on a 100m stretch of road. I'm pretty sure that looking at all those signs adds up to a few seconds at least.

In dbus, it seems the feature is intended for two processes to know they can access the same shmem and other system resources. I'm struggling to understand in which circumstances w…

Aside from the writeup, how stupid must one be to commit cybercrimes from a Windows 11 computer full of spyware?

If signals were based on low impedance current loops as opposed to voltage-based like they are today, interference could be much reduced. This would break phantom power, so power t…

Steps to reproduce: 1. Get pwned 2. Open Notepad++ 3. Get pwned again (?)

We are living through CVE-inflation (or CVEflation?) where anyone who discovers a bug using LLMs will instantly claim it is huge security hole.

How is this supposed to be zero-click? All attack scenarios require either the attacker to modify configuration files, or the user to click on a malicious shortcut.

Optically, it looks very nice, but it kills my CPU.

I found, in my rather recent experience with Go, that using anything other than zero for invalid, default or "sentinel" values is a source of potential problems due to the lack of …

It is also relatively easy to work, since ancient times. Iridium is the rarest metal, so rare and hard to work that it is not practical.

At one point I used to have two mice plugged in and would use either one depending on which hand was free.

That's honestly a fear of mine, that I might lose the taste for simplicity.

How much of the fish self-sufficiency of China is due to them plundering the seas across the globe?

Thinking how a secure setup for uploading packages from a CI would look like: the package must be signed by the devs, and for that they must build it independently on their machine…

100% of those cases would be favorable to cops. Defamation laws are quite restrictive in Europe, much more so when it involves public officials (take a look at the Strafgesetzbuch)…
