I got you - I was just replying to kylehotchkiss. Either way, if the data is properly client-side encrypted, it shouldn't really matter much where the data is stored, since they would need access to your device to decrypt the data. So

What I don‘t understand is how they differentiate this sort of „insult“ from “satire”. There are some protections around artistic freedom and you should be allowed to make fun of someone. There was a well-known [“Böhmermann vs. Erdogan”]( h

I assume what they mean is that - they might have to log connections to their service (like with ProtonMail), but they won't have to provide what data that user account has accessed through the service, same as they didn't provide

Well, yes and no. Currently, Swiss law doesn't support this and providing the IP is based on specific requirements for telecommunication providers as far as I know. But yes, the law could be changed. However, keep in mind that Switzerl

As far as I know Tresorit has actual offices and staff in Zurich, Switzerland. They also appeared clear to me in the past that they have multiple offices around the world (I listened to a presentation from them recently at a conference).

Ok, that‘s cool! But the client get‘s to download the encrypted master key without authentication, right? Doesn’t that enable easy offline attacks or is the decryption too time-consuming?

Well, depending on legislation, they could be ordered to change the code to send the user password to them on next login for that account and then decrypt everything…

Since it‘s a paid service with user accounts. You would be able to ban users that have been reported to use this service for illegal means. The same question can be asked to WhatsApp / iMessage / Signal / etc.

Looks great - congratulations! Could you please add if / how you store a hash of the user password of authentication - it‘s not discussed on the architecture page. Thank you.

Yes, but I assume the rationale here is that they will only have to refund that month and can reset the clock for the next month. So if they have serious downtime it won't cost them for the full year - just for that one month.

Yes, the same could and has been said about YouTube-dl. It depends what you do with the tool. If you are using it to download videos that specifically allow this, then there is nothing illegal about it. It's the same thing with a hamme

I really wish there was a third party - the customer - actually represented in this trial. Apple and Epic arguing over what is best for the customer, while clearly they are having their own interests in mind, screams for the actual customer

True, you could stop using their products, but you could also argue that when you buy a product (and not a software license), you should be able to do what you like with that product. It should certainly be within the customers rights to us

I think it depends on OS (Linux is $0.008/Minute, but macOS is a lot more - like $0.08): https://github.com/features/actions (scroll to the bottom)

I agree that R has it's benefits, but zero of the points in that article appear solid when you actually spend time with Python. Have to choose Python 2 or 3 for a new project? Guess what, pick version 3, because you know - you could sa

Yeah, it's the problem with that article in general - the author doesn't appear to have decent experience in Python and if she/he really thinks PyCharm is not a decent IDE, then I don't really need to listen to the remai

By that logic they could demand live access to your bank/social/email account as well. It's one thing to search things that you physically bring into the country - this article was talking about NZ only search the phones in &

I would assume this is to compete with Apple's offerings (after all Apple doesn't just sign you into the browser, but into the OS nowadays). Apart from Chrome OS, Google doesn't have any other way to offer similar (tab-syncin
