I use and see others use smart watch triggered from time to time. Occasionally I see people use Bluetooth headphone triggers. Believe it or not a lot of use is out of the public eye, though. Lots of usage is in cars (where there has been a

While you need ID, all that proves is that you have been asked to attend. You can get access to the building (ok after hours) by signing up to a meetup and providing your name. Also by virtue of the work they do, relative strangers will com

If you are able to talk about porn and ban it with your parents (presumably providing some alterate means, because you know they have needs), then well congratulations that sounds like a very open and sharing relationship. For the rest of u

Because the numbers are kind of crap lately. People don't realize just how the average episode of Friends beat 20 million for every one of 10 seasons [1]. The audience is fragmented like never before. A small correction though, All in

Onsite is your site. It is at times a confusing term, but if you get an onsite warrant you needn't go anywhere, you wait at your place of business or your home and the tech comes in and fixes it. Lenovo actually does pretty well at thi

OS as a gatekeeper is still present in a lot of corporate stuff. You'd be amazed the number of people who are still running IE because of one reporting package or what not. That said there is no reason in 2020 they couldn't dual b

They aren't opposite. You need the practice to learn the music, but it doesn't help (apparently) you determine pitch , or pick out rhythmical differences (which is what it actually tested). It doesn't necessarily mean you pla

I do kind of suspect that a lot of the problem was really their ability to impose a $1/user "tech" fee. Once you get to that point you really don't have to explain over much to anyone unless things go massively wrong (wh

Because a bus lane is actually a really cheap train. Construction costs are minimal, your "stations" are generally unmanned, and cheap, and if you need to reroute for construction it generally is much less a big deal. There is ba

Eh except if you can work there you can work at several other places in the financial industry, and the pay and future career benefits aren't that special if you are already in that league.

The good/bad news is that you were already plenty vulnerable. Also they wouldn't need an app to be installed, all they need is to force an app to use (or induce you to say click on a link and use) the already very exploitable webv

Something like that just screams "eventual compromise and massive tears" though. Especially since most click to deploy solutions go on to pull from a lot of different remote servers, widening the attack surface.
