roflchoppa··on FCC Filings Overwhelmingly Support Net Neutrality Once Spam Is Removed
Strange to see the net becoming a weapon against public interest.

More so to see it be used to push politics.

roflchoppa··on How Three Kids with No Experience Beat Square and Translated Final Fantasy V

roflchoppa··on Don’t build apps that encrypt customer data
Is that within the T&C for using Amaxon cloud services? Do you give up your clients privacy for amazon to be able to read and use information that hits their disks?

Interesting, when I saw him in the picture on the page, with hand-in-hand, I thought Zen Buddhist.
roflchoppa··on iPad 9.7‑inch
This feels like the release of the "the new iPad" which was after the iPad two, but housed a Retina display, internals were the same if I recall correctly.
roflchoppa··on UC Berkeley to remove public legacy libraries
its not a bad idea, could even introduce higher learning education pieces to younger students for exposure to what they would be learning within that field...
roflchoppa··on UC Berkeley to remove public legacy libraries

roflchoppa··on Nintendo Switch review: pure potential
Dude I was mind blown when I saw that the exploit for a 3DDS was vectored via a sound file?

But my personal favorite was the GTA exploit on the PSP, good times :D

roflchoppa··on The Myth and Magic of California Style
SoCal does have a feeling of superficiality, you can pick up on it a little after people move back to the Bay from LA.... but then again the Bay so many people that have this feeling of entitlement that came outta no where.. just something I've noticed within the past 15 years....

On the flip side, there are also a handful of people that I met around from both areas that are down to earth. Maybe it's just high concentration.... or monkey see, monkey do.

roflchoppa··on Nintendo Switch review: pure potential
Can't wait to see the home brew being made for this. Especially how the exploit will be fed into the system.
roflchoppa··on John Nimmo, Internet Troll, Jailed Again
the dude is 28, if he cant figure it out by the time he's 15...... maybe he needs more guidance.....
roflchoppa··on Apple Pro Apps Bundle for Educators

roflchoppa··on Inside Rolex's Manufacturing Facilities (2015)
It has a sweeping pattern, opposed to the "tick-tock", It's already broken, worst case its broken more :p I'll post some pictures later.
roflchoppa··on Inside Rolex's Manufacturing Facilities (2015)
I own one, it's a datejust, uncle grabbed it for me in Singapore maybe 10 years ago? It still one for my favorites, except the stem mechanism does not work correctly. My Apple Watch ended up replacing it for everyday use. I should open it up....
roflchoppa··on In Marin, if you speed on your bicycle you're now going to get a ticket
At least the nice thing about running from cops on trails, is that bikes can outmaneuver cars
roflchoppa··on Ask HN: Do you carry a backpack? Which one?
Northface Recon, bought it outta highschool in 2010, and its still going strong, it sees daily use with a 15incomp/notebooks/books/chargers. I've taken it camping as well. Cant complain.

On a side note, i was in a class where the subject of backpacks came up with the girl next to me, I noted to her that everyone adjacent from her had the model bag. Tried and Tested. :)

roflchoppa··on RIP HTTP
can someone explain the complexity issue for setting up HTTPS for a large company/service? I setup nginx/letsEncrypt fairly quickly last night, it was my first time messing with nginx + the node applications its running.
roflchoppa··on Police seek Amazon Echo data in murder case
Interesting that the police is going after this electronic speech data, reminds me of the instance where a parrot witnessed a murder that was posted on this site couple of months ago, in that case the parrot was not able to testify...

Also interesting that the lawyer is going for the reasonable expectation of privacy regarding that data, if that holds, then it could allow them to argue due protections from the 4th amendment.

But let's ask the question here; is data regarding usage of utilities private? It seems that something that you installed for water usage, should be. Could this data not have been acquired from the water department?
