ga-vu··on Intel desktop board BIOS update end-of-life

Not "ALL" BIOS drivers.

Just legacy ones, for boards released in the 90s and early 2000s.

ga-vu··on Thousands of hacked Disney+ accounts are already for sale on hacking forums

I see some 2FA in Disney+'s future!

ga-vu··on How the Blockchain Technology Will Impact Mobile Application Development

I wish there was a blockchain filter on HN

ga-vu··on Facebook is using the iPhone’s camera as users scroll their feed

The feature still exists. It's for their Stories support. Basically, the iOS app is prematurely pulling up the camera view. Nothing super shady as the linked (garbage) article implies.

ga-vu··on Fraudulent tech-support sites cause Firefox to freeze, displaying scary message

This was fixed in June. The new bypass was found a day before the article was published. The journalist literally gave Mozilla one day to fix.

ga-vu··on Paged.js: Paginating content and making books in the browser

Oh, great! Some more garbage that only works in Chrome... because hipsters and lazy devs looking for jahbs!

ga-vu··on W3.CSS Home

wow, they have a responsive CSS framework

i'm impressed

ga-vu··on Fraudulent tech-support sites cause Firefox to freeze, displaying scary message

wow... one single website used it... now thanks to some dumb journalist, a lot more are going to use it too

aren't reporters supposed to wait for a patch?

It's been at over 90% for more than a month, from what I can tell

ga-vu··on CISA, FBI, and DoD Identify New North Korean Malware

They did so back in April: https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/analysis-reports/AR19-100A

This is old news reshuffled through their Twitter account

ga-vu··on GitHub Removes Tsunami Democràtic’s APK After a Takedown Order from Spain

Dupe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21395629 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21395769

ga-vu··on Comcast Is Lobbying Against DNS Encryption

And this is a problem why?

DoH is garbage and Mozilla's implementation is just a cashgrab with Cloudflare. Adopt DoT+DNSSEC instead.

ga-vu··on TechCrunch published Snap earnings before numbers went public

No. Newswire services receive these kind of press releases in advance all the time.

As long as you don't use or share them, you're fine.

Your extension clearly breaks their rules. Come on now.

ga-vu··on Firefox is getting language translation

As the article states -- via ZDNet: https://www.zdnet.com/article/firefox-to-get-page-translatio...

So maybe link to the actual source instead of the blog spam?

NordVPN blog post, and the source: https://nordvpn.com/blog/official-response-datacenter-breach...

ga-vu··on FireEye confirms APT41 hacked TeamViewer, may have accessed billions of devices

Most useless statement in the history of mankind.

Mozilla has deployed a canary domain with Firefox. Your ISP can block that canary domain and they'll automatically disable DoH for you... ooops!

ga-vu··on A cartoon intro to DNS over HTTPS (2018)

My problem is that this is highly overhyped by the Mozilla/Cloudflare PR teams, and both companies stand to make money out of it.

A better solution would be DoT+DNSSEC: https://twitter.com/jschauma/status/1184483451111727106

I don't trust Mozilla anymore, especially after becoming a VPN vendor and partnering with Cloudflare. They now have commercial interests in pushing standards down on everybody, similar to Google.

ga-vu··on Gitlab: don't discuss politics at work

They're Ukrainians. Slav people are pretty blunt about these issues. Simply put, they don't care. Work is work. Politics is not work.

ga-vu··on Argentinian security researcher arrested after tweeting about government hack

When did Argentina turn into Turkey and we didn't realize?

ga-vu··on D-Link Home Routers Open to Remote Takeover Will Remain Unpatched

DIR-655 has been EOLed in 2012... what do you people expect. Of course they won't release firmware updates forever.

No. A visa is required when you're in a country, visiting or working there.
