No problem, just sell their user data for a premium so they can be advertised too in other ways. Its worth squeezing this one in many extra ways since, as you said, they've signaled they are valuable targets. Plus Meta can also change

There was a post on here where some one mentioned a lot of people just install bike racks to block the plate and said Amazon sells lots of plate hiding stuff. I'd definitely seen plastic covers that obviously made the plate very hard t

On slashdot's mobile website half the ads are pictures of infected toes or something. I don't even know what they're trying to sell.

Microsoft actually used the disk encryption scheme by default in early versions of bitlocker. They had to backtrack because the disk encryption implementations were found to often not work at all!

I was sort of surprised to find that standard crypt-setup in linux actually supports opening true/veracrypt volumes. It doesn't support creating them as near as I can tell though.

Kind of unfortunate timing as I recently decided to make it a priority to upgrade a VM Windows 7 install this way. I actually started the process a week before the deadline but ran into a cryptic error I didn't have time to resolve.

I've been using the browser add-on for this feature. Did they merge it into the main browser then? My only complaint about it really is that it has no Asian languages.

Doesn't Amazon prevent you from selling on other stores for a lesser price? I always thought that was a galling scam and couldn't understand why it was even allowed at all.

Apparently product dumping isn't illegal if you do it on the internet. This wasn't even a fuzzy digital goods or services example either.

It could be used to hunt down reporters and whistleblowers if the cameras have to be purchased with an ID. So the very people who would benefit might be forced to strip this extra data to protect themselves. I wonder if you could use the ca

I wonder what will be left when they have removed anything potentially dangerous or offensive. Maybe just advertisements. But advertisements for competitors products are also offensive.

Bizarre they would make room in the specification for a DOA misfeature no one is going to use and everyone hates. Why not remove it from the spec and place the requirement of synchronization support into the spec instead?

My understanding is that GPT can't actually be used to port a game to sell, ostensibly it is for proving out performance possibilities available from when you do port your game (to native metal). Has that changed? To me it sounded like
