A judge would never sign off on a warrant for the kind of searches Flock facilitates. Similar opinions involving cell phones have been rejected by the courts multiple times. Folks desperately trying to workshop some line of reasoning by w

Let's not. There's enough overcomplicated nonsense examples of cybersecurity in movies as it is. If you could compromise a device via bluetooth, then you could exfiltrate data via bluetooth just as easily.

It's not inconceivable to suggest that the people claiming that the CSAM hadn't been removed knew it was still there not only because they'd never actually sent the request for removal, but because they themselves put up the

It's amusing how the article says it's "potentially" in violations of US hacking laws. That practice is _definitely_ a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. No employer's IT is going to have it not be a vi

Oh, one of my absolute favorite things is setting ServerTokens ProductOnly, so that scrubs will freak right out when they see their canned vuln scanner get bug-eyed and basically scream that the server might be vulnerable to every possible

Oh that app did a huge thing just by showing how far the administration is willing to go with its delusional fascist nonsense. The app was _barely_ functional and available on a minority of the smart phones, and yet there the White House w

The "disclosure" was a big waste of time. It was vague and ill-informed, nothing that came after seems to give the impression that they actually knew what they were talking about. The only serious vulnerability that might have

Truth. A stripped down configuration of that running nothing but personally-written code on the backend would pretty much render those issues moot (as in "completely mitigated"). Considering how lacking in detail the reports were

They're getting that rate because of the reduced cost to support their connection to the grid per kWh. It's essentially the cost of the "packaging". If this is resulting in a loss of revenue for the utility, the blame

These larger power-generation systems tend to be more efficient than smaller power-generation systems, not less, which should result in a cost decrease, not an increase. Tennessee (for example) has fairly cheap electricity because the TVA u

This is completely missing the point. Until there's a substantial number of driverless cars on the roads, LPR systems will always equate to tracking people. You might as well argue that exposing geospatial data about cell phone moveme

Actually, I think the problem here is that he's reducing it to a cost-benefit analysis that applies to a single corporation alone. Corporations are notoriously short-sighted and generally unable to plan for or see into the future more

Yeah but that app was just nightmarishly bad, including an absolutely terrible approach to roll-your-own push notifications. Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

In other news, yet another website fails at understanding that a hard redirect prior to a 404--instead of just issuing a 404 in the first place--is an idiotic practice that breaks browser history.

Guess what happens when people take antihistamines... Lovely, lovely side effects. Side effects which are generally equally as annoying as the original problem. If one can treat the symptoms just as easily as the cause and pseudoephedrine

Absolutely. I have used the heck out of this on systems since I found out about rrsync.pl and read through the code to make sure it was using a solid approach. With a quick keypair generation one can quickly deploy read-only (and probably

A quarter of a milligram is enough to make most people have to ask themselves, "are these the right number of fingers for me to have?" This can definitely put some things in perspective.
