That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
I was a little bit disappointed by GSMarena for using a verbatim headline instead of adding terms like “manufacturer provided” and/or “alleged”.
Considering the price, I would assume it’s likely 64GB (maybe 128 GB).
And the vast majority of russians couldn’t care less.
We’ll probably get there in 10-15 years (as in at mainstream, mass market prices).
Don’t know how it is in the US, but you don’t get any support for Pixel where I live.
Samsung on the other hand is excellent, they even have retail locations.
This is why I avoid opening up “service” devices to the broader internet.
My current work around is to access a computer with TeamViewer on a given local network and manage things from there. There are probably flaws with this approach too, but it seems like a more manageable solution than giving IoT-type devices access to the open internet.
I do wonder if protocol like Yggdrasil would be a good solution in the future.
Interesting discussion, but I would argue lack of reputational damage is primarily due to lack of competition. If it was easy to switch (and government policies were built around doing everything possible to reduce barriers to entry and switching costs) to other options, reputational damage would likely have far more severe consequences.
Now we can find out who is working with the Winklewii twins.
For a second I thought merely playing the video would get your system compromised.
But you do actually have to install the malware (which would work for some targets).
I already mentioned that I do use Mastadon. You’re preaching to the choir.
Yes, I do.
My national background and the current situation in my country makes Twitter an important source of information (I follow local news sites as well).
I used the gaming as an example as a more neutral topic of conversation.
I see where you are coming from (even if you are being a bit glib), but the reality is such that the vast majority will go with the flow.
And trust me, my hate for Musk is way more than you can imagine. This is serious stuff.
I actually did try that twice (in a context where they would have more motivation than a typical dev/studio), no luck.
Don’t get me wrong, I do think we have to move of corporate social networking systems. I started actively using Lemmy about two months ago and I am enjoying it. However, we do have to be realistic about the state of the market.
For certain content there really is no alternative. One example would be gaming, almost no studios/developers are on Mastadon.
I do have a gaming-focused Mastadon account and I do use it, but it’s not really comparable.
It’s interesting that the Houthi’s are trying to extract useful location data, I am assuming this is for potential targeting UAV drones.
Don’t if it’s just my system, but last night a windows update got stuck at 96% (saw it when I woke up in the morning).
After rebooting, I got a nasty “Page Fault in Nonpaged Area” error that led to a nasty bootloop.
Eventually I was able to boot into Windows 10 and everything seems to be working fine (ran a system file check, some files were found to be corrupted).
This is on an ancient Haswell laptop from 2014; my initial thoughts were this was definitely tied to my hardware, the laptop is really outdated and I use it heavily (have a modern desktop, but I am away from home), but perhaps something was wrong with the update.
I guess I will found out.
Nah, I’d say the passwords from Hackers (1995) such as love, sex, secret, god are the best.
Android 11 is not getting security updates? I can see manufacturers not pushing updates, but I would have assumed Google still patches the OS. It seems that roughly 18% of Android devices still run 11, with another 11% for Android 10.
I had a pretty decent self-hosted setup that was working locally. The whole project failed because I couldn’t set up a reverse proxy with nginx.
I am no pro, very far from it, but I am also somewhat Ok with linux and technical research. I just couldn’t get nginx and reverse proxies working and it wasn’t clear where to ask for help.
Cheers, been looking for something like this (used pushbullet back in the day, but stopped after they changed their policies).
