I see this problem in other things too. I wanted to buy a radio, but the only option I have is an boxed in android phone running apps and a DAB receiver.
I only need two functions, a knob to change channels and one to adjust volume. If I need to play music, some aux input would be nice - that’s it!
With so much (real) money at stake, it is not surprising that “crypto” tries to latch onto any technology unrelated to “crypto”. Every time it successfully gets associated with something else, it drives the frenzy.
And the joy of having to go through the list of “legitimate interest” that contains every tracker and advertisement platform, with no button to reject all
I almost crashed into a tesla on the highway when I changed lane right behind a Tesla. The Tesla was going much faster than me, and when I changed to its lane a bit too close, it started breaking for no reason, forcing me to jump on the brakes as well. I do not believe it was the driver, but the automatic brake assist that did not like me coming in too close…
The absence of locks is a good analogy. But I think a fruit welcome basket is a better one. Not only because they handed PII over to all visitors, but because the epilogue is fruity
Ironically, craping the web can result in termination of your account:
“we reasonably believe that your conduct causes harm or liability to a user, third party, or Google — for example, by hacking, phishing, harassing, spamming, misleading others, or scraping content that doesn’t belong to you”
Exactly what I think as well. I have not looked into this attack for a while, but have always assumed it still is possible to proxy traffic via a user’s browser
I worked for a company where a proxy server was used for all internet access. Every now and then a pages would not load. Error logs pointed me to the usual culprit - dns. When looking at dns traffic in tcpdump everything looked normal, except some dns replies came from rfc1918 addresses instead from the dns servers public IP address. When I talked to the ISP, they blamed me (the proxy) for reusing UDP sockets, and it was by design that their load balancer would only support one DNS request at a time per UDP socket. If there were two or more in flight, only the first response would be NATed properly. Luckily, I knew that the ISP used the same proxy product internally, so when I asked how they configured their proxy to avoid this issue, they fixed the load balancer within the hour
I would prefer it was China or Russia, if then had a grunge with me, the bar would be higher for them to do something that affected me. Americans can put you on some secret list and generally ruin your life on the basis of nothing
I usually store IPv4 as unsigned int, and IPv6 as two 64 bit unsigned ints. But supporting both variants require that I have an a table for each type and a glue table to reference the record in the correct table. Storing simple stuff quickly turns complicated…
If the requirement is that client should follow the redirect, one should not use a 4xx status code. I think “319 never gonna give you up” is more adequate
I have not figured out how to jump directly to chapters yet, and not sure if it’s possible. I uploaded a 900 page ebook, and gave up trying to browse to the page where I left off.
There are usually some space to move the laser around, even if you are restricting yourself to a keyhole. Would that not be sufficient to detect the location and shapes of objects related to the movement of the laser?
I previously owned a Samsung, and got confused by the Fort Knox feature. The description of the feature said that only I could access it, but required me to sign up for an Samsung account to use it. I never understood why I needed an online account to use an offline feature, and it also said I needed to register in case I forgot the password and would need to regain access.
I was determined not to have a Samsung account to use the phone, so I never got try it out, but I assume that anyone with access to the Samsung account have access to the secure folder
I bought something from them once, and they shared my email address with Facebook to do targeted advertising - that was not something I expected they would do.
Since lists are mutable, I can pass them around to functions as arguments, similar to C and perform operations without bothering to return the list. But if a function would do listA = listA + listB, I am not sure what listA would be outside the function scope… I am guessing listA would remain unchanged
When you have everything right, I love how owl comes and say he will make it harder, so you loose your hearts quicker, and suddenly you cannot study any more that day
You might show me ads, but not track me, privacy badger stops you from doing that. But if your ads are trying to track me, then privacy badger stops that too.
When I drill 30cm holes in fiberglass or wood, I place my leg next to the handle. That have saved my wrist many times as the tool bites to the material and send the drill in a circular motion.
