    That's a survirvorship bias - we normally only hear of the attacks that succeed, not the ones that have been successfully prevented.

    Modern aviation is an amazing engineering feat (all the environmental issues aside). With such numbers it means that "one in a million" failure occurs roughly evey week, but the fa…

    How do you know that they don't train their models or append your prompts to add backdoors, or compromise your supply chain by including evil dependencies? This seems hugely irresp…

    AWS skills are in quite strong demand, so it totally pays off to know the platform and have some hands-on experience if you work in the related area.

    Of course. Both desktop and mobile version as well with uBlock Origin. Don't have any issues so far except Google Meet not being able to blur the background on the video calls, but…

    I don't advocate or support such malware instalation. Just saying that "Russian citizens have nothing to do with this war" is false. There are better ways to express your support f…

    It was proven over and over again, that the more you give to Russia, the more they will take next time. We have to stop them now or never. War is already on going between Russia an…

    Why Telegram? I see Ukrainians use it a lot in this conflict,but I would really not trust it to be secure against such powerful adversary as Russia. Signal is much better bet under…

    I wonder, what happens with all that captured equipment? I see a lot of videos of seemingly undamaged anti-air systems, artillery, tanks.. can Ukrainians readily use them or there …

    No. All ex-Soviet countries that joined NATO did that willingly as a way to protect their independence (looking at the examples of ex-Soviet countries that did not, it's clear that…

    What tools do you use for that? I tried similiar strategy just by looking at the publicly available tools (e.g. MartketWatch), but it seemed I'm always too late, so I resorted to m…

    I haven't received any robocall, cold sales attempt or spam SMS in years. I'm also EU based, maybe it's another side effect of non-existant privacy laws in US?
