i don't really get the point of this? Its a ITX motherboard with a moible chip. I could buy a itx board and a desktop chip for less. Or get a miniPC with the same chip for even less. They are trying to disrupt building a PC, which was

realistically blocking low cost personal VPNs / proxies is pretty easy. Any new servers they stand up are gonna get picked up by commercial threat intel services with an hour and then just blocked. Especially if the CDNs are working wi

ya it does seem that way. But, there is a pretty big cohort of people that are like this and they click on stuff to. So i'd guess it's more marketing to sad grind-set loners than deliberate propaganda.

i always think about e911 calling for enterprise VoIP software phones. In order to make sure the calls go the right 911 local call center it is required to have the user enter the address they are using the computer at. It's the law an

ya it does seem like a good opportunity for US and Asian companies to get public sector research without even having to pay taxes for it. Europe really needs to build out the theory > applied science > product development > actuall

This makes alot of business sense, most orgs know better than to homebrew their mail env on (lets be honest here) "basement hosting LLC". So that leaves the people that are spamming/phishing as the core SMTP customer here. We

Its possible to restrict DIY building of pretty much anything if your end goal was to stop people from doing something outside of their basement with it. I can't build my own open source coal fired power plant and except to sell power

sounds about right, but I'd up #1 from "basic computer knowledge" to "sysadmin level enterprise system experience" if you want to truly be an expert. Success in cybersecurity on the blueteam side to me is more being

or you could enable ios lockdown mode in one click if you feel like going full "im a targeted individual". I'm more talking appsec here. Even from the personal non-enterprise security angle android has the sideloaded boyfrien

i wouldn't put much stake a zerodium numbers as the benchmark of platform security. People who sell these kind of gray market mobile zero days for big bucks aren't going public about it. Mostly because the only buyers that aren&#x

I don't even let my users have browser extensions without them going through the formal review process. Managing the proliferation of PWAs (potentially unwanted apps) is one of the most unsolvable issues in security. iOS is the gold st

But like stealing from people just because you don't like them doesn't really change the moral calculus. I'd imagine most people that steal anything don't like the victim very much. Do what you want (or what you can get

It my very well be possible that its not currently impacting them in any meaningful way. Its one of those things that you can ignore until you can't. It still is a step in the right direction cuz at least people don't really flat

i'm not sure many people would deny themselves the self-actualization / biological urge of becoming a parent for something as nebulous as sticking it to the man. People certainly didn't stop having children when we all where

Depends on the person. Alot of people don't really care about the macro. They go to work to add value, seek the admiration of their peers, not get fired (etc) and then go home and do something else. Living your entire life without real

Thats kind of high. I only pay $0.78 a therm here in Wisconsin. 1 therm is around 30kwh so im paying like 2.5c a kwh vs 17c for electricity. So unless I can get a CoP of 700% from a air source heatpump im literally lighting money on fire. T

Ya it does seem kind of silly. If it doesn't have caffeine or alcohol might as well just drink water or something diet. Your not getting much for your consumption of (usually) refined sugar or high GI carbs. Maybe in a social setting t
