You are unable to tell whether any service uses E2E. It is best to assume we don't have E2E services and adjust own opsec accordingly.

Assume these services are being tapped. If you want ultimate privacy exchange keys with your contacts offline and you PGP over any messaging service.

But but Microsoft is goood! Look GitHub! Linux! Open Souwce! I only use Windows because software I need doesn't work on Linux.

Can someone explain to me what is so special in those photos? These look like snapped on the phone...

It's a bit naive thinking that employees would store their electronics in the lockers. Even if you have spot searches (including cavity search) it still doesn't exclude rogue emplo…

Do they go through phased entry system. For example phase 1 metal detector arch and a 3d scanner like in the airport. Phase 2 strip naked for body and cavity search and then phase …

This is the future of electronic money. Companies will decide for you what you can or cannot buy.

Shouldn't you also show intermediate page with a privacy warning and a cancel / continue buttons? Otherwise user can click it by mistake and compromise his data.

Move fast break things kind of doesn't work well with planes. Also too big to fail (fall) doesn't apply here.

Typically CS degree means that you can finish something regardless if it makes sense or not. That skill is in demand in large corporations that require people to follow stupid proc…

It doesn't matter if it is an IP or another identifier e.g. a hash. Person can be identified by behaviour and this is not anonymised.

You are conflating identification of a person by behaviour analysis with matching an ID. What is the ID is irrelevant here - may as well be a hash. That just proves my point that t…

I don't believe you have understanding what personal data and GDPR is. You are capturing user behaviour and that is very personal regardless if it is "anonymised" or not - and that…

This is very weak reasoning, because you cannot identify an individual by IP either. This project looks like trying to exploit loopholes. The idea behind GDPR is to make sure compa…

Every generation has problems like this. I remember my friend become addicted to calling premium phone numbers when when he was a teenager. When his parents went to work, he would …

I don't think Microsoft is doing incredible things. They are baiting the developers and just use the strategy of locking people into their constellation of spying services. Acquiri…

Windows is just a spyware at this point. Never use it for anything serious. Microsoft having more money that they can ever spend, play the "good person" and seduce developers with …

What do you do if e.g. Instagram ignores your GDPR requests? I have sent them multiple emails about misuse of my personal data and they only replied with a template that didn't add…

I have all bug fixes turned off, so I don't suffer from that.

People use Macs also to produce music and for this task the most important is single core performance. AMD is not great at this and it seems like the new line of CPUs could only ge…

I need single core performance and I am maxing out 9900K @ 5.1. If AMD proves to be faster than that, show me where to pay.

I review their portfolio and create a sample task to see how communication goes along and then if I am satisfied I place real order. It is not expensive so I can try few people bef…

> Everything is serial so far. Got it. Here's the thing though: Plugin A processes packet n, Plugin B processes packet n-1, Plugin C processes packet n-2, [...] Plugin G processes …

You cannot run the pipeline in parallel. Sure you can have a pipeline and work the buffers on separate cores, but the process is serial. If it was as simple as you think it would h…

This is how it is typically being done. This is not a problem. Problem is that being concurrent, end to end this process is serial, so you can't process any element of this pipelin…
