I mean if you buy a surface book you get windows 10 pro installed and activated, so they’re kinda already doing this

DNS-level ad blocking is a pretty good alternative, and it works well for non-Safari apps in my experience. I use nextdns and recommend it. You can tailor the blocklists to your liking as well.

If I had to guess, I'd say they will probably roll out new XProtect signatures [1] soon, assuming they haven't done so already for these samples. I also just learned that you can see when the last update was with the following com

That looks fantastic, thank you passing this along.

While the mere presence of MS on a resume may not mean much to employers, I almost think it’s more important to weigh its usefulness against your current skill set. For instance, I work in tech but majored in something other than CS, and so

The biggest issue I have with note taking is not the medium or app, it’s the fact that I would often write something and never look at the note again. This essentially made the act of note writing, at least for me, futile since I rarely rem

Also interesting that the dev kits use the same chip as the latest iPad Pros (A12Z). I’d love to see the two OSes merge to some extent because I love writing on the tablet but find iPadOS not the best for general dev work.

Same here. I don’t think the majority of folks will start working remotely permanently, but I could very well see more and more people splitting time between WFH and working from the office. If some people on a team start to do it, others o

I agree on the free publicity part. Don’t think I would’ve given this product this much of my attention if it weren’t for this whole debacle. The free publicity in this case is likely to turn out to be a net positive for Basecamp.

Thanks for the clarification. I read Kavanaugh’s dissent instead of the Court’s opinion, so I made a wrong assumption. You are correct, they aren’t making the argument I was thinking they were. With that said, I still think that this is far

I could honestly see it both ways, but this argument seems relatively weak to me. The court here isn’t necessarily creating legislation but rather are making the judgment/interpretation that “sex” does include sexual orientation. From

That’s a really simple but great idea. Thank you for that. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve learned something while working but have been too lazy to find my notes and figure out which note to put it in. And so I never end up making a n

For me, a lot of the value in university was the experience of living independent, being thrown into a relatively unknown place with new responsibilities, and figuring out how to cope with it all. I would say that was far more valuable than

As someone who is considering asking for the first time to move out of my high CoL area to be fully remote, does anyone have any advice on what to expect and how to navigate said conversation? It’s a bit nerve-wracking to think about and I

What’s the suspected threat name? It should say when a file gets quarantined.

Malware that can proliferate on Windows boxes without user action almost always requires some remote code execution vulnerability (or some security misconfiguration issue) to be exploited first. This is true for macOS as well. That cycle is

I’m guessing it was meant to be more rhetorical than anything. It seems this was akin to a denial of service of sorts, so I think if US wanted to cause serious damage they would have.

by j0hnml 8y ago
Well, it kinda is. AFAIK, that’s exactly what this was made for, and Intel/McAfee was going to create a DPI device using this tech. That never happened, and now Snort uses/will use hyperscan for its pattern matcher

I really like google’s music offering, but I the only reason I don’t subscribe is because I listen to music on my work box, and I refuse to sign into Google on it with my personal account

I’m guessing a lot of it has to do with making it harder to circumvent ads

Why would they? The RU government is likely directly involved with these kinds of attacks/campaigns

I agree, but I wonder if it’s instead not that disingenuous since most of the tech community, and likely all the city candidates, knew Amazon’s true MO from the start.

Yeah, this is all too true, and unfortunately it gives the security industry a bad rap

Which chromebook do you have and what are its specs? I'm interested in doing the same, and I don't want to spend $800+ for a laptop I'm not going to be super happy with.

I’m probably one of the few who do this, but I use Google Chrome with DDG. I really just have a much easier time on Chrome than I do on Firefox, and I’m optimistic that my Internet history is not being piped to and stored on Google’s server

by j0hnml 8y ago
Yeah, this is a valid point. But, you can also just keep something like uBlock installed and just disable it when using pi-hole and then enable it once you’re on something like a public network.

Is there any reason you chose running on a VM as opposed to something like a RPi3?

On today’s “The Daily” podcast, they do talk about how difficult this kind of thing is. I don’t believe the NYT thinks at all that this is a trivial issue to solve.

Live closer to work. An hour+ commute is just not worth it in the grand scheme of things.

It’s also so nice how quickly the site loads — that and the simplicity of HN’s mobile site makes for a very pleasant experience.
