Thanks for the clarifying the situation. Something did feel a bit off but I didn't want to jump to any premature conclusions. The author has clearly put quite some investment in writing their book, it's a shame and hard to underst

Understood. It's reasonable to call out potential conflict while also being unclear on intention. Something as simple in the Keen book author acknowledging the proofreader would put to rest the ambiguity central to the discussion point

The book's source has verbatim copy and pasted TeX ripped from Fabien's books which was licensed under GPL.

How do you feel about this book mirroring your prior art in both format and structure? Were you consulted beforehand? [EDIT] - I see in the Keen book's source git commit logs that you reviewed and assisted with proof reading beforehand

Tavis Ormandy released some patches to get WordPerfect for UNIX (terminal based) to run on Linux [1] Alternatively, WordPerfect 6.2 for DOS running in Wine on Linux (or DOSbox) [2] This word processor was pretty serious back in the day. I

TLDR; purchase an device that pairs with your phone, follow a hunch that it's doing a lot more then what it advertises it does. A week ago I purchased a bluetooth device that takes some measurements. You require an Android or iOS appli

It's on a staging environment - but if it was a production machine it would not be an issue. I have until the end of the week to finish and need to work as fast and effectively as possible. Anything that assists in this goal is welcome

Definitely some tradeoffs there. I recall going back and forth in my head "I'm paranoid, I don't need to enable this" to "what if there was a breach..". and well.. here we are.

E2E encryption is supported with Ring. You have to enable it yourself. Only discovered this a few weeks ago and immediately enabled it [1] This doesn't protect your PII data though. This is not a good situation at all. [1] https:&#x2F
