But surely if it was exposed they have to assume it was taken? If you can view the data then you could have saved it locally, print it or screenshot it, even write it down with a n…

The BBC now reports data was taken: "The personal information of an unknown number of serving UK military personnel has been accessed in a significant data breach, the BBC understa…

I don't understand either: "It is understood investigations have not shown any data has been taken." Versus "The cyberattack was on a payroll system with current service personnel …

Londoner for 24 years. I don't know what to tell you, 'Bro'. Yes beggars walk down tube trains trying to get money, but they don't tend to set up shop on the platform which is what…

People without a home do not have access to the platforms that these seats are on. These seats are on the underground, past the ticket barriers, and they would quickly be removed f…

Trying to get the billboard to pay for the ad it's displaying. How was that ever going to work?

Nintendo are anti piracy, not anti-emulation. They used to sell emulators on their marketplace for their back catalogue under the 'virtual console' brand and more recently on Switc…

I interpreted the comment as a comparison between torrenting and emulation, "but torrenting isn't illegal but is used for illegal things" and thought it was implying the opposite f…

Emulation and virtualisation is a pretty standard, official, way of running software on other devices, where the software licence also doesn't stop anyone from doing so. Emulating …

Yes, I see that. My retort was to "The United States government does not employ censors to remove portions of shows before allowing them to air (or stream, whatever)." which it eff…

Not only would they "decline to air it" they are prohibited from airing it. > Broadcasting obscene content is prohibited by law at all times of the day. Indecent and profane conten…

Say the word "Bullshit" and then show a erect penis on Wheel of Fortune and see how that 'we don't censor things' goes for you.

Sure, but we're talking about cloud storage here for a laymen, who's hardly likely to know what AWS is, and we're also talking about a laymen who just wants to backing up a file, t…

slip of the tongue/keyboard. It was obviously supposed to read "There's no such thing as cloud storage, just somebody else's computer." It's a fairly well known phrase[0][1]. It's …

I mean personally I use iCloud and Google Drive, but i fully understand that at any point Apple or Google could decide to hand all of my data to a government, accidently turn off a…

Dropbox used to be hosted on AWS. How is a laymen supposed to tell the difference between Backblaze - running their own servers, and a Dropbox-like - which is really just uploading…

Dropbox used Amazon until 2016, to only have their own datacentres in the last 5 years. Who's to say they decide that's not economical and move back to aws? OneDrive IS Microsoft a…

The problem is finding them. If a layman looks for a cloud back up provider that isn't one of the BigTech group - uses Duck Duck Go and finds a small company offering 10GB back up …

It's a weird subtitle for the website, as the function isn't to cancel out background sound, but to add to it with other background sounds.

This applies especially in the UK, where it can be pouring with rain for an hour where I live, but beautiful sunshine 2 miles away where my brother lives. The country is an island …

I still don't see why you're not exposing these devices to Homekit in Home Assistant so that they show up natively on your Apple devices in the control centre? Having my smart spea…

Virgin Media does not use Openreach, and they lay FTTC and then uses multi-core copper (coax) from the cabinet to the home. Although they're the only FTTC that roll their own as fa…
