Surely the company must be liable, right guys? Right…?

Problem is creative creators just want to get their stuff out to as many people as possible.

If that was the primary goal, why not post on all platforms?

Small firearms go through ~10cm thick bricks but not through a computer?

ELI5: The guy thought he’d lost his keys, but had a spare in another jacket all along

A docker container is not a whole separate Linux server, it uses the kernel running on the host

Come to Europe, then :)

And why is burning an audio file onto a CD better than having the same file on flash storage?

Not for home computers. But storing data in DNA could become feasible for archiving, as it is very dense and degrades very slowly.

They advertise that passwords are only stored on the server in encrypted form, meaning they couldn’t read them even if they wanted to (or were forced to by a government agency) and you don’t have to trust them not to. This paper shows that several vulnerabilities exist in the protocol which could be exploited by malicious code running on the server (injected by hackers or a government agency), which would then allow an attacker to obtain cleartext-passwords. So you do, in fact, have to trust the servers integrity.

Or who do so little cleaning at home that their appartment becomes almost unusable or outright dangerous to live in

*so Apple claims. Is it possible to verify the key is un-recoverably deleted? The more reasonable approach (when it comes to security) would be to never upload a key in the first place.

Corporations and fascists: name a better duo

If you rely on some specific piece of software, set up a dual boot and only boot into windows to use that software. Put your Linux installation onto a separate (encrypted) partition.

We’re never going to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of user adoption and software availability with the mentality to only switch once everything works 100%.

I know computers are hard for normies, but I believe that’s only because they’ve been using dumbed-down walled-garden stuff for too long. And just like it is important to know how to cook and do basic repairs around the house, a basic grasp of computers should be the standard in today’s world.

What’s wrong with VSCode? There’s an open source version (codium) which works just as well for me.

What does this have to do with security? Do they expect evil maid attacks on the PS5 people carry around to do their online banking on?

How is this done? Can you just re-enable the feature in the BIOS? And what about machines sold outside the US?

Make it mandatory to institute a 5 year trial phase, during which encryption is broken only for politicians and public servants

That’s one of the major restrictions for casual use, yes. But if these measures are actually implemented, it might be worth it to have a second phone (or some other device) just for online banking

It sounds sophisticated to the layman

I’m curious, does EFT work on Linux now? I had a workaround with a windows VM years ago, but the anti-cheat decided that was evil one day and wouldn’t let me play anymore
