They transfer all your data passively by using 45 year old encryption with known IVs so it’s easy for the CCP firewall to siphon it all. They just have to pretend they didn’t know what they did and it’s legal. The only way to not leak your

It's not up to Zuckerberg. Expensing food is tax deductible. Allowing people to buy whatever they want is taxable income. The only companies that would allow their employees to buy whatever they want are those that aren't worried

For passkeys, your password manager should prompt you to save them if it supports them. For the authenticator (TOTP), you just save a QR code where it tells you. Just google "TOTP <your password manager>" and I'm sure

Least amount of hassle is probably a passkey in your password manager, if it supports it. Passkeys are the quickest way to sign in. Don't use a passkey on your computer, otherwise you will only be able to sign in from that computer. If

Personally I would do all of them. I would make a passkey and stick it in Bitwarden so I have it with me on all my devices. I would link my account to my authenticator app. Then I would also register my yubikey I keep on my keychain.

I'll just share a little more here. The scale of the outsourcing I am talking about is far greater than whatever you're imagining. We brought teams of people from India over to the US, housed and fed them, so they could be able to

I'm sure he was an amazing capitalist, but my experience with Tata consulting was the worst. I worked for a division of GE during the Immelt years that outsourced large portions of IT to Tata, and was in charge of the transition. It wa

Before the ruling Apple was paying about 8B in taxes per year to Ireland. If multinational corporations are no longer able to do a Double-Irish Dutch Sandwich anymore, it doesn't make sense to stay there. Which means the future losses

To be clear, they are absolutely being fined for storing passwords in plaintext. They chose not to mitigate the fine by following proper procedure.

I've noticed that this stretches farther than America. For example big name retailers in the Caribbean like Massy seem to be mostly or partially owned by Save-a-lot .. but I haven't had the time to investigate this yet.

It's always been like that. The costs involved with maintaining garbage are infinitely more than maintaining something well built. This is why software is so lucrative.. because the true cost of the software isn't how much you pay

I think the issue is more that nobody asked for it. These tools are useful, and on a Mac if you want Rewind, you have to know you want it, go out download it, pay for it, install it yourself .. and you knew what you were getting into the wh

Up until the recent AI boom Tesla was the #1 AI company in the world, now they are falling behind other tech leaders. Elon is now stealing Tesla's AI lead and squandering it on his pissing match with OpenAI because he feels jealous of

I was going to dismiss your comment thinking that it wouldn't be possible to capture the amount of carbon we are emitting with trees alone .. but after running the numbers, trees seem like a pretty decent solution.

The fees are going up, but this article is mostly clickbait.. which is why they likely don't link to anything but their own website. Pretty much all touring artists will use a P3 visa, or get a waiver. A P3 visa is going to cost the sp

I was just giving them a hard time for unprompted bragging about being perpetually inebriated on a technology forum. No need to try and think too deeply about it.

If you type things like 'lols' and are over 20, people will know you are mentally-regressed. Does it really matter if they know it's drugs or not?

The attackers would have to know the distributions used by the company they are targeting, that connections are open to the internet, that the company won't change their setup over the course of several years. Everything you are saying

Occam's razor says that the perpetrators likely didn't spend years building up trust to hack some early adopters before the releases got more stable. It would be like spending hours baking bread only to eat it before it goes in th

European airports have train service to most destinations. Nobody cares if the airport is 45 minutes away because going back and forth is made seamlessly easy, and you can eat or read the news during the trip.

I mean, this stuff does happen. There is an old electric station near me that is used for various things sometimes. Some band was in there shooting a music video and bumped something and somehow the whole area started filling with water.

I mean that's a great anecdote, but it distracts from the article. The takeaway here that people should be leaving with is that mineral based sunscreen is a safe, effective, and healthy alternative. This "throw the baby out with t
