Fairnuff.

Interesting point. I’ll keep it in mind.

Couldn’t it be weaponized right back at them. What’s stopping an individual?

And they expect that a 16-year-old won’t figure that out…
I guess we’ll see what happens.

Your scientists were so concerned about whether or not they could that they never stopped to think about whether they should.

I was at that talk. I’ve never been inspired by an in person speaker like that. Makes one want to unionize.

It disappoints me that the level of regulatory capture prevents these companies from being held to account.

I’ve got one of those laptop chips and I feel exactly the same. I’m going to be watching my temps very closely. My trust is absolutely gone
- Comment on ASML and TSMC Can Remotely Disable Chip Machines If China Invades Taiwan 6 months ago:
But if China sees chip making as a state asset, I wonder if, knowing this, they may now be able to prevent it.
Hmm

They were exceptionally difficult to find to install the app. That alone will keep them from being successful. Add to that that the app is not particularly impressive… I’m not sure if their chances.

Touché

Biggest difference in my eyes is that with a layoff you at least get to choose who leaves but in this case you only lose the best and most qualified.
Nice work Dell.

Yeah. It’s pretty rad. I’ve been playing with it all day.
If I set my watch and airplane mode it also immediately locks the phone, but it also does that when it goes out of range. It looks like the app should work with any Bluetooth device so any wearable should work just fine or even earphones if you really wanted.

I found this app that helps to mitigate this issue. It disables fingerprint if your phone gets too far away from a Bluetooth wearable or in several other conditions. It’s worth looking into for sure though it is only in preview for now.
I think it’s an excellent choice for anybody that’s got to wearable. You could probably do all this with past or two if you had the free time, which I do not.

Neat! I wonder what the learning curve is like on that.

The white outfit is nice. I’ve played this game for maybe 80h. It truly was a spiritual journey for me too. It made me cry more than once.
It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Rayman Legends and Borderlands both live rent free in my mind. I don’t know how to feel about it.
Horizon Zero dawn comes in a close 3rd place.

Google at least has better OpSec. Microsoft security is rather swiss-like lately.

I hope this helps.

I can’t disagree with you. I feel like that’s the way of the world anymore regardless of platform.

Firefox is Mozilla’s cash cow, it’s how they’re earning funds for their charitable work. And google btw isn’t the only one paying them, which search engine is the default depends on where you are.
Thank you that’s wonderful news! I don’t have the time to keep up on browser news like that so I truly appreciate the information.
- Comment on The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance 11 months ago:
I will be honest. I didn’t read that article because it’s too click-baity. Using gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/ I see that Firefox is about 3% of 5b users. Not insignificant.
That 3% is about 150mil users. IMO, less than it should be. Google has great security, but terrible privacy. I switched middle of last year, from brave to FF for reasons I won’t get into here. Suffice it to say, they are numerous.
It truly is troubling that they don’t have independent funding. I, for one would pay $10/y for this service. Maybe I could donate?
Anyway, it’s a superior product in many ways.
