Depends on the access technology and environment. But usually there is not much choice to be made, by design. The cable or equivalent from the customer prem will go to exactly one aggregation location, and in that location, the choice of po

Why would it be non-standard? USB-PD is almost completely decoupled from the rest of USB, and USB-C connector doesn't imply 'super speed' lanes are available. The only thing it really changes from an implementation perspectiv

And when Android follows Apple's lead, then what? The consumer harm is obvious. Whether you call it a "monopoly" or something else, it is a problem that needs to be addressed.

They don't even need to know it is a thing that exists. The defaults (ie. the status quo of implied trust in the OS vendor) are fine for this type of user.

So you think it's okay for manufacturers to take advantage of users as long as they continue buying the locked-down devices? I disagree, and I think this argument is incredibly disingenuous. You could make the same specious argument ab

That was intended to be a generic 'device manufacturer', not calling out Google and Apple specifically. It's my device. I should control it, full stop. It should simply not be legal for a device manufacturer to lock me out of

Ultimate control over devices you own should be a basic right. Apple's wanton abuse of users and developers via the control they have over their platform, and Google's nipping at their heels, should be evidence enough of that. Fun

Recovery codes is an option, for one. Since we're talking about a legacy bank here, going to a branch and proving your identity is an option. Worst case, you could always call and speak to a human who will do whatever verification they

There is a distinction between the variable itself and its name. Const (and Rust's immutability-by-default) ensures that the variable does not change after assignment. This holds true even as references to it are passed to other functi

It's an old anecdote, but years ago Samsung refused a warranty claim for a _failed USB port_ that would no longer charge the phone _because I had rooted it_ and the fuses were burnt. I think this was unreasonable of them, but it's

No, the fact that all of these ships show the same false location strongly suggests that they are being spoofed from a single terrestrial source; this effect is not practical to achieve by modifying the signals transmitted by the satellites

You're more or less inside a Faraday cage. I find you'll generally get a strong lock just holding your phone near the window, though TTFF can be relatively slow compared to normal due to the lack of AGPS.

It shouldn't be that bad, CloudFlare's anycast should direct you to a nearby resolver, and doing your GeoDNS on that resolver IP instead of ECS is probably not that much worse than doing it on the actual client IP. Both approach

Really? It doesn't seem to me like it gets any more trivial than 'hit DNS for the domain to find federation server, send a GET request' to me. You could even do the whole thing with DNS, though that has privacy implications.

It can't be mutual because the receivers don't broadcast, so the sender doesn't know which contacts are in range. I was also thinking you might be able to use asymmetric crypto for this, and encrypt the hash + a nonce using y
