The future is here, it’s just inconsistently distributed. There’s also the problem of python.org not wanting to pick winners, i.e. not promoting activestate vs conda vs pypa.

You’re the one derailing from the actual topic, which was broadly can we trust our devices and specifically can we trust iOS, by muddying the water with what-about-android. The question wasn’t which we can trust more, the question was whether and how much we can trust Apple.

You can’t verify that iOS is doing what Apple says that it’s doing, because you can’t read the code. You can’t trust that Apple perfectly understands their product, because it’s extremely complicated, and therefore you can’t just take their word for it. I’ll state that the check here, although it’s painfully obvious, is that exploits happen. Researcher opinions are fine, but facts are better.

None of this is in any way contentious or new, it’s the exact debate about open-vs-closed that we’ve been having since the beginning of software.

You asked why we would need to verify things he said. I explained it quite concretely. What part did you not understand?

Edit: whether people are wrong about android security is orthogonal and whataboutism

You just needed to actually read the documentation and use sysprep (ideally with an unattend file). Just remember to image it before sysprepping since you can only run it a few times. There are a ton of things sysprep does that are really helpful and not handled at all by tools like that.

Microsoft doesn’t care if you clone systems, (why would they?) they care about the volume of help desk tickets created by doing it wrong.

Cloning VMs is kind of an anti-pattern anyway, it’s absolutely full of this type of foot gun. Just use ansible or similar and build a new one.

Windows AppGuard is close to this, although it’s a hyper-v silo not a full VM. Edge can open links in AppGuard (which is what this technology is called) right from the context menu, super convenient.

What if he’s wrong? Computers do things their programmers don’t expect them to literally all the time. Security bugs generally come from a mistaken assumption about how something behaves.

He doesn’t have to be a liar to be telling you untruths about how it works.

Better, sure. A lot better? Definitely not.

The bug bounty is pretty hard to actually get access to, there’s still no source outside of the kernel, and the Security Research Devices are really hard to get access to. You have to be someone they’ve heard of, in a country they approve of, you can’t move the device around, and you have to sign your life away to get it for 12* months.

Hard to know that without knowing what would have happened otherwise, yeah?

This was not the worst possible result.

For Windows 10 that’s absolutely not the case, you can use any Windows Hello method you want with a local account. Most of that article is talking about security keys because they are more involved than Hello.

You should tell your Supreme Court that, they just ruled that street photography is constitutionally protected art.

No it doesn’t. That consent is gated around violating their legitimate purpose (see the other words in that second paragraph). So in general just posting stuff/uploading to TikTok/facebook/etc does not require consent and you don’t have a right to have it taken down without specific cause.

I’ve done a decent amount of white water and stories like this make me shiver. If you’re in moving water, standing is surprisingly dangerous. Float or swim (depending on the current) to calm water and get out there.

If you stand (and especially walk) in a fast current, you’re asking to get your foot caught and then drowned.

No it isn’t (there are similar laws in at least France and Italy, and a much broader one in the UK).

All of this delightful nuance goes to my previous point; there’s plenty to debate and discuss here and the whole idea of an absolute right to privacy in public is comical.

And yet here we are. You’re not in charge, and telling other people what they are and aren’t allowed to do just to meet some arbitrary desire of yours is being a dick. Do you really expect everyone not to take pictures and videos of games you’re at? Museums you’re in? Concerts you attend? Come on.

13 pro shoots ProRAW as well.

Of course they don’t, that’s not what your articles say. Did you read them? They, respectively, say that the market is forward-looking and that major gains are made after downturns.

It can simultaneously be true that major gains are made after downturns and that there has historically been a strong correlation between downturns and unemployment.

Again, cool, also unresponsive to the what I wrote.

That’s not responsive to what I said. It’s a snappy one liner though, so I guess cool?

So far, in this one specific downturn, sure. There is however a strong historical correlation between market downturns and widespread unemployment.

Is it? Doesn't Hopkinson–Cranz scaling mean that it would decrease at the cube of distance?

Have you tried this method yet? Appx packages tend to be very good about declaring their dependencies so that removal is easy and safe.

They’re not suggesting deleting individual files or mucking with the registry, they’re talking about using a clean, user-facing tool just in a more surgical and thoughtful manner.

Yeah, I don’t understand the laziness of this option. The list isn’t that long, just figure out which packages you don’t want, put them in a text file, then iterate over that file and remove them. Repeatable and easy to back out out because you know what you removed. All in you’re talking less than an hour if you decide to google every single package in the list.

It is not. Attempting to do so would be obstruction.

In the United States there has to be evidence of a specific crime. Being an associate of a scumbag isn’t illegal, nor is having taken a flight.

That doesn’t mean anything.

I think it’s axiomatically true that if you change definitions at will then anything can mean anything. I don’t think that’s useful for enhancing understanding.

I agree, the Liberian space program simply doesn’t get the respect it’s due.

This is not true. It’s perfectly possible for the US government to use YouTube in a privacy act compliant manner.

People get really mad when you call this p-hacking, btw. I used to try and make this point to ”analysts” that I worked with, that science involves coming up with a hypothesis and then looking at the data. The response I got often enough that I’m sure it’s being taught somewhere was that you “need to let the data tell it’s own story”.

Turns out lots of people have decided what the conclusion is and are taking that conclusion and the data, and then blindly munging until they get a path which connects them.
