    Yep - this is the core issue that made the vulnerability so bad. And if you use a subdomain for a third-party service, make sure your main app auth cookies are scoped to host-only.…

    Pretty simple fix: require more data to look up a citation, like the number, issue date and plate/VIN (this is how my city does it). Technically doesn't make the scraping impossibl…

    Google is down because Google Cloud is down, Antrophic is down because Google Cloud is down, and OpenAI isn't down but some of their SSO providers are down because Google Cloud is …

    Not exactly the same, but in the same vein, Reddit has a "Random" button that takes you to a random subreddit. Google has "I'm Feeling Lucky" which gives you a random search. A "ra…

    > They harvest emails that you punch in for email receipts at checkout for marketing purposes. etc. etc. Really? I've been using a unique email (i.e. homedepot@my.domain) at checko…

    Visually, it looks a lot less like a copy of a BlackBerry keyboard, so that helps. The first patent quoted in that lawsuit article has expired [1]. The second patent is still activ…

    > So, it'd be hard to pull off such an attack. That's what you'd think, but people rarely pay that much attention. The fullscreen prompt only shows up for a few seconds. For exampl…

    Some cars use "indirect TPMS," which means instead of a sensor in the tire's valve stem, it measures the speed of each wheel and uses some fancy math to determine if the pressure i…

    It's not an issue specific to USB-C. There are also plenty of USB-A/Micro-USB cables that don't have the data pins connected. Typically this is only an issue with super cheap elect…

    They didn't even quote that analysis correctly. It shows that it would take 30 minutes for the average person... big difference there.

    Can confirm. A couple years ago, I had a Chrome extension with ~100k users; I was receiving these types of emails every week. One of them straight up offered $10k, whether that was…

    Can anyone reproduce this? I don't pay for GPT-4. I noticed the "shared links" contain this disclaimer: > This conversation may reflect the link creator’s Custom Instructions, whic…

    The article did say that: > The seeds had to go, too. While poppy seeds might be legal, it is never legal to plant them. Not for any reason.

    What is that calculation based off of? The article lists the 4 filters as $70 (which I'd assume you would replace all at once). The Levoit uses 1 filter "unit", and filters are $55…

    Isn't $100 (the stated cost to make this) the same as a proper air purifier like a Levoit Core 300?

    Agree with your take, but in this case it was pretty easy to find the ruling on Google. Here's the case page [0] and the PDF [1]: [0]: https://www.nlrb.gov/case/03-CA-285671 [1]: h…

    I bank with a local credit union, and their online banking originally only supported SMS. I wrote to them about the many security issues with that, and an executive responded and a…

    Makes you wonder if the actual article is AI-generated as well. That blog has a lot of articles about GPT-3 :)

    Not to mention the impacts on the people who live in the communities on the coast that these cables often land at. See what has happened with Facebook's new cable in Oregon: https:…

    I would suggest adding information about the display panel on your website. I could not find anywhere whether it's IPS or not.

    "Waste" is subjective. Some people may enjoy driving/running a bunch of errands (I find it fun sometimes when I have nothing else to do).

    This isn't the same as the source previously provided with the drivers. This is a completely new kernel module.

    Unless I'm mistaken that's just a security audit of their client applications, which would not in any way prove that they aren't logging.

    My experience with RAVPower products has been great as well, but last time I ordered they literally put a card in the box saying "get a $35 gift card for giving us a 5-star review.…
