ELI5: The guy thought he’d lost his keys, but had a spare in another jacket all along

How do they ask permission without filming them first though? With such a device, I’d assume it is always recording and sending data to Meta servers.

A docker container is not a whole separate Linux server, it uses the kernel running on the host

Come to Europe, then :)

And why is burning an audio file onto a CD better than having the same file on flash storage?

Not for home computers. But storing data in DNA could become feasible for archiving, as it is very dense and degrades very slowly.

They advertise that passwords are only stored on the server in encrypted form, meaning they couldn’t read them even if they wanted to (or were forced to by a government agency) and you don’t have to trust them not to. This paper shows that several vulnerabilities exist in the protocol which could be exploited by malicious code running on the server (injected by hackers or a government agency), which would then allow an attacker to obtain cleartext-passwords. So you do, in fact, have to trust the servers integrity.

Or who do so little cleaning at home that their appartment becomes almost unusable or outright dangerous to live in

*so Apple claims. Is it possible to verify the key is un-recoverably deleted? The more reasonable approach (when it comes to security) would be to never upload a key in the first place.

Corporations and fascists: name a better duo

Employers demand to see your facebook account? That sounds illegal.

I didn’t think people still opened new user accounts on facebook

If you rely on some specific piece of software, set up a dual boot and only boot into windows to use that software. Put your Linux installation onto a separate (encrypted) partition.

We’re never going to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of user adoption and software availability with the mentality to only switch once everything works 100%.

I know computers are hard for normies, but I believe that’s only because they’ve been using dumbed-down walled-garden stuff for too long. And just like it is important to know how to cook and do basic repairs around the house, a basic grasp of computers should be the standard in today’s world.

Which Wi-Fi standard does your router / access point support?

What’s wrong with VSCode? There’s an open source version (codium) which works just as well for me.

What does this have to do with security? Do they expect evil maid attacks on the PS5 people carry around to do their online banking on?

Yes, the sad reality is that Windows is not quite there yet for desktop usage

Yes. By ‘VPN technology’ I mean e.g. wireguard, openVPN, which are infeasible to ban since companies probably use the same software stack.

VPN technology will never be banned, as most companies rely on it heavily, e.g. for remote work. The only thing I could see is ISPs keeping a blacklist of known addresses of commercial VPN providers, but that seems like an uphill battle

How is this done? Can you just re-enable the feature in the BIOS? And what about machines sold outside the US?
