the term "pizzagate" was part of the disinformation to throw the actual investigation under the bus. The press focused on a leaked report that it all happened in a small pizza place. While it effectively (for the leakers) killed p

He was clearly wrong, as the truly rich/big corporations do not pay taxes and take most from the state.

Not talking about a hacker. I am stating that the described hash dance offers no exclusion from GDPR as saying "we promise we won't look" would do. My point about brute forcing being useless, is that you hold all the informat

You think in terms of theoretical society that is either On or Off. No place is like that. You missed the point that the people fleeing is already stealing tax and are likely the bad parts of the system themselves. They are fleeing from oth

why things on the RPi take so long? is the SoC still undocumented because of the NDA as before?

The actual answer nobody is giving: Q: How can phone companies detect tethering? A: by working with Google and Apple to inject code in android and IOS to serve that purpose.

that's a very bad analogy. Apps waste way more bandwidth. It's better if you turn it around: "unlimited gas for you 4mpg hummer. But we will nickel and dime you if you try to ever fill up the 1L reserve tank on your electric

This is the "expected" outcome of most big tech organizations. I doubt there was malice or stupidity from the actual people coding this (but the malice still exist, it is just a few layers up) You have two kind of elite at the top

So the only take away is that now the population at large notices tech companies outages as much as they notice celebrity deaths?

by gcbw2 7y ago
