You can also tap the power button five times in a row, which brings up the emergency screen (Power Off, Medical ID, SOS call), but also disables face recognition until a pin unlock…

If you're not aware of it, you might want to look into Qubes[0], it's an OS that uses virtualisation tech to compartmentalise applications from each other (and the host OS). So you…

It's in the scene in the hotel lift - Hackman gets Smith to remove various things, and stuffs the trackers in a foil crisp (aka chip) packet, and the techs lose tracking on them.

There's a short film on YouTube that explores that idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt4Dfa4fOEY It's a very strange experience hearing it!

Cosmic rays causing the errors has got me thinking about if the error rates vary with the time. Do you get more/less errors when it's day time (due to the Sun)? Does the season aff…

I've been using Steam on Linux Mint for a few years, and generally everything Just Works(tm).

It looks like there'll be further models after the Three: "I'm super excited about being able to produce a car that most people can afford," Musk said. "And there will be future ca…

It would probably come under the "Equipment Interference" section, which legalises hacking of devices.

I've got a couple of cheap VPS's with OpenVPN installed and the bandwidth/latency is best described as "intermittent", as there'll be a lost of hosts sharing it on the low end ones…

Much as I'd like to think that signing this would make a difference, it won't :( Theresa May has been pushing for this legislation (or variants thereof) for years now. The existing…

That'd work fine for HTTP(S) data, I suspect the data capture would have to be done at the IP level by default, with per-protocol filters on top to capture additional data. Which i…

There doesn't seem to be a technical definition of an 'Internet Connection Record', but from the factsheet[1], they: "are records of the internet services that have been accessed b…

If they're charging more than cost for the electricity, they can just re-invest the extra money, and it ceases to be profit.

There's a third type as well - 'Shadow Mode' where the software is running constantly but the driver is in full control. So if there's an accident, Tesla can check to see if the au…

Proof of ability to potential customer? Checking that their command and control software works? I doubt you'd notice a difference on the device unless you were doing something netw…

The gateway is needed to route outside of the local subnet, so if the bulb is 192.168.1.17, it can talk to anything in 192.168.1.0/24 (presuming a standard home user setup), but an…

My first thought would be to set the default gateway to 127.0.0.1. It should mean that they can't route packets to anything outside their LAN?

They'll still need to spend resources (and so will earn reduced profit) updating processes/code/etc to comply with the regs, plus ongoing costs to ensure compliance.

From Bad Astronomy, El Niño accounts for around 0.1C globally: http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2016/07/20/june_201...

Windows 7 64 bit here - it just has the error message box, and the same text in the cmd window, it doesn't open the file though :) "This version of foo.txt is not compatible with t…

They put the distance at 440−190+180 Mpc. 440 megaparsecs is is around 1.2 billion light years away(!).

I found that learning how one aspect (mining, farming, food, booze, fortifications, military, trading, etc) at a time helped. I'd figure out how to get one aspect working (starting…
