Thank you for pointing this connection out. It always felt a bit gross that an advertising company was leading the lobbying campaign given the industry's massive damage to teenagers mental health over the decades.

I blogged about this connection a year ago, glad to see at least one article published way too late. The Murdoch papers had their own 'let them be kids' campaign with identical talking points, and Jonathan Haidt’s book The Anxious

The only 'line go up' graph they have left is money invested. I'm even dubious of the questions answered graph. It looks more like a feature added to internal wiki that went up in usage. Instead it's portrayed as a measu

The article makes them look psychopathic. Underpaying staff, layoffs, constant churn and providing poor services is 'not a flaw' and 'makes sense' because they boost profits.

This was always my pet peeve when working as a penetration tester. We'd run simple tools like this to cover the basics, but so many coworkers would blindly copy paste the issues without considering the site's context and suitabili

I feel you can apply this to all roles. When models passed highschool exam benchmarks, some people talked as if that made the model equivalent to a person passing highschool. I may be wrong, but I bet even an state of the art LLM couldn&#x2

I was having multiple ESP devices from different brands running totally different firmwares all drop out randomly when I switched to a new Asus wifi router. Came across even more 'work arounds'; No spaces in the SSID, disable IPv6

Here in Australia they'll charge more for 5G but limit it to 150mbps. That's slower than LTE's max, no wonder 5G uptake is slow.

Poor Grant in this article was always against the law but now has to talk as if it's a good idea. I looked into who was pushing for this law; a personality on a Murdoch owned radio station, along with Murdoch's News corp, a TV adv

Realistically passwords can also be forced from your head using 'enhanced interrogation techniques'.

I'm honestly just diving into this now after reading the article, and not a total expert. Wikipedia has a table of a leap second happening across TAI (atomic clock that purely counts seconds) UTC, and unix timestamps according to POSIX

I think you're describing the exact confusion that developers have. Unix time doesn't include leap seconds, but they are real seconds that happened. Consider a system that counts days since 1970, but ignores leap years so doesn&#x

Yeah just like OLED, the LED backlight on a LCD doesn't last. I just recently swapped out the backlight on my ~10 year old TV with a $30 new one off aliexpress. Way brighter again, and way less color accurate. At least it doesn't

Tools like evilnginx proxy the traffic, then grab the auth token / cookie after a successful login. From there you can send the session tokens to something like necrobrowser to automatically do whatever you want with the account. The w

MFA doesn't stop this kind of phishing. If you're tricked to put in your password, you'll likely put in your 2FA code right after. A yubi key or device passkey that uses webauthn can stop these methods, since the domain seeki

This is exactly what Siri wanted to be. Compare with the original Siri keynote https://vimeo.com/5424527 I can't find the exact ~2010 article from before being bought by Apple. I remember in an interview they were talk

Maybe I'm unlucky with my popOS distro but I don't understand everyone here saying their linux trackpad is as good as a mac one. When I two finger scroll on a mac, the content smoothly matches the movement of my finger. When I two

I see where you're coming from, and it's a bit of an old school view of E2EE. Wikipedia even has a section for the meaning of the term with a lot of citations requested, suggesting not everyone views the meaning of E2EE the same.

>E2EE deals exclusively with the transit and reading of data between trusted ends, that's the point. That's transit encryption. The point of E2EE is to prevent anyone, including the service provider from decrypting the communic

From the other side it feels just as unfair. When I lived of ~AU$200 a month, $100 towards rent, a new game was ~$100 in Aus. It was often much cheaper to buy physical copies from Asia and import.

I've been running OmniOS on my home NAS since 2015. In theory you should be able to compile and install any open source software on OmniOS/Illumos, but let’s be honest, the world assumes you’re running linux. Devs already have eno
