>This is what everyone misunderstands. The Developer ID code signing program is not analogous to web certs. The usage of these certs is entirely different. If a web cert gets revoked a browser won't accept it when making a connectio

I don't think so, even if it was only stored that way the government will still have (name, dob, hospital) info for most citizens saved in some db/list making it easy to recreate the link back to the real person with pretty high a

Why? They are already running their own unsigned DLL injected code that can do anything they want. Even if the OS wouldn't allow it to launch an unsigned .exe, any malware can just be shipped in that DLL as easily.

It's really easy nowadays (if you have the right hardware), you can directly install the official combo update and then it usually only requires one extra reboot to update the graphics driver and possibly repatch sound driver for me, b

Yeah amazon cloud drive is pretty popular on /r/DataHoarder/, quite a few people have 10TB+ on it, some even a lot more. Personally I have close to 7TB of backups and personal video footage stored, everything encrypted, never

I love BetterTouchTool, especially since it allows setting everything on a per application basis. I use it to have the same keyboard shortcuts for navigating tabs in everything, like browsers, iterm, finder, IDEs and more, it's so nice

They also called it a "recoupable application fee" so it sounds like they might reduce their 30% cut until the fee is earned back. So as long as a game sells even reasonably well they could get the fee back in full while low quali

For laptops I agree, lots of pain, but for desktops I've never had any major issues with the last 3 Intel+Nvidia PCs I've had over the years, always worked really well. For me the only downside really is the extra reboot after an

Should be possible with DLL injection or function hooking since I would guess they just check the USB id and then use the normal mic access functions so you would only have to intercept 1 or 2 calls. On linux LD_PRELOAD should be enough.

Onedrive also has a ton of other issues like not allowing various characters in filenames: # % * : < > ? / \ | " As well as a maximum file size of 10GB and maximum total path length of 256 characters. I was using onedrive

There are a lot of i3's with ECC support, even some Pentiums, Celerons and Atoms have ECC support. I see them used often in cheap NAS builds, seems just that specific one in your link didn't have it, not i3's in general. htt

Usenet is perfect for that since binary newsgroups for piracy have gotten really popular over the last few years. You can basically use it as a reasonably reliable key-value store that lets you store 300kb to 1mb blobs. Add some encryption

To get reliable and free storage, photo hosting is usually the easiest way. Flickr offers 1TB, picasa/g+ offers unlimited storage with some hidden quoats. Everything that allows lossless photos lets you store arbitrary data. Depending

I think you can just extract the OEM Windows key from Windows, download a clean retail .iso of the same version and activate it with the OEM key. I'm pretty sure that worked with Windows 7, no idea about 8+.

Not really, you would just need to reverse the js code, look at what data they actually send to google and randomly generate appropriate data like mouse movements.

You could say the same about LEGO, and the LEGO movie did great. In many ways Minecraft is just video game LEGO. Battleship is a board game some people like or at least know but that's about it. Minecraft on the other hand has a giant
