E-books are completely worthless to people who don't have something to read it on. Unless there's a library where they can use a computer for a while.
E-book readers don't have story hour for kids to get them interested in reading. E-books aren't typically free to read and often can't be passed around to friends.
Most librarians take a fairly dim view of censorship. If anything outside of the kid's section is censored, you can bet it wasn't the librarian's idea.
This is just yet another attempt to remove the last bit of actual public service so the tax money can be spent on more subsidies and pork (you didn't think taxes would go down, did you)?
What makes you assume there's any way to do that programmatically? This is something being done by a pre-installed app on those phones. If it presents any sort of API, it's not documented.
All they know is the specific models with that mis-feature, so they blacklisted them.
That's not complicated at all. It's a simple matter of yet another corporation endangering everyone by spending money on CxO bonuses rather than on necessary safety and security.
On linux, you have to right click->inspect->security->view cert. They clearly have a dialog for it, they should make it available without drilling down 4 levels into a developer tools menu.
There is a significant difference between expressing one's opinion and trolling someone off of Twitter and endless ad hominem attacks on anyone who dares to disagree.
Developers, admins, people using a private webmail, etc. In those cases, I know with greater certainty that I have the correct un-intercepted site than if a CA signed it. The option exists to temporarily accept the cert, why not be less of a pest? But make it equally easy to stop trusting the cert.
Click the lock, click "Certificate" works for me
It's not there, I just tried it. It used to be there once upon a time.
More like the laptop vendor's marketing department thinks it's better to claim a speed that can only be sustained for 0.25 seconds than to truthfully rate the speed the laptop will actually run at.
How about Chrome finally taking my word for it when I tell it I trust a particular cert even if it isn't officially signed by some entity I have never heard of.
Meanwhile, if it's so important, why do they make it a pain in the ass for me to examine the cert used by a site? Shouldn't it be in the menu that drops down when I click on the lock icon?
For that matter, why isn't it easy for me to tell Chrome that I do NOT trust a given cert no matter who signed it or that I don't trust a particular CA to sign off on water being wet?
I don't need to travel much, but it's not that unusual when I do to have NO network connection (as a matter of policy where I am). RDP won't help. Ssh won't help.
But for those where they can depend on it, why buy the high end laptop at all if it will spend most of it's time thermally throttled? It's a bit of a rip-off.
It just relies on enough people keeping their messages. The benefit is that it doesn't allow Big Brother to quietly track everything, it has to be overt and the effort required restricts it naturally to serious incidents. Everyone who ends up involved was either a rioter or someone who passed on information that caused a riot.
What'sApp is by no means anonymous. You can see exactly who sent you the message. So, the procedure is as follows. Arrest rioters. Access rioter's phones. See who sent them the message(s) that kicked off the riots. Get a warrant for those phones. Iterate that until you converge on the offender.
If that's not good enough, ask What'sApp to create What'sAppIndia which tells the user that due to demands from their government they (and only they) will have Big other invited to the party and if they don't like it, they should speak to their government about it.
How about ACTUALLY air-gapping the control network. If they want remote monitoring (not control), they can put a polling device on the control network. It can send all the data via a serial port with the RX connections removed to another machine on the internal network that can be reached via VPN.
Some Macs have HDs or SSDs with sockets not unlike PCs. Those can be recovered using the same methods as used for a PC by third parties and skilled teens.
It's the Pros with the touch bar that are the problem.
If you're prepared to pay the much higher cost of having someone attack the problem with a desoldering station, there are probably places that can do it even when Apple says they can't (due to the lack of the debugging port), but they will charge a hell of a lot more for that than a corner shop swapping drives on a PC and especially more than the above mentioned teen that's good with computers.
But if the failed logic board was under warranty, you may have to choose between paying through the nose for data recovery AND paying through the nose again for a new board since de-soldering definitely voids the warranty. Apple does state that an HD with a data recovery company's seal on it will still be replaced under warranty, but they say nothing about de-soldered logic boards.
For the older Macbooks with the data recovery connector, I have never seen any documentation and certainly haven't seen the device that connects to it available anywhere, so the third party shops don't have them. You're still stuck with either a very expensive de-soldering job (and connecting the ssd on a bench) or going to Apple. That's a pretty strong lock-in.
Frequent backups should always be done, but there's always those cases where it couldn't be done for a day or two on the road and you really want something back that wasn't in the last backup.
As a matter of fact, they do. For that matter, the job is well within the reach of a teen who's good with computers. If you don't know one, ask google for computer repair shop near you.
You assume prosecutors want to put guilty people in jail. In fact they just want to put anyone convenient in jail. So, months later you find yourself homeless, jobless, and in debt to your lawyer up to your eyeballs. News of your arrest made the evening news, news of your acquittal made the back page next to the obits.
If you've done things sensibly, the python program IS your design. You now just have to IMPLEMENT (not re-design) all or part of it in a language that stores things in a more compact form.

That was also wrong, but he's pre-doxed.
It's a chrome thing when chrome is on Linux. If they can display the information anywhere, they can display it somewhere more relevant or convenient.

Nobody's going to remote control anything through a cut RX line. Read more carefully.
You got stuffed into your locker a lot in high school, didn't you?

I smell BS!

The vendor coming to your side of an air gap involves a laptop that has no other network connection. If you close the air gap, you are not air-gapped.
How about ACTUALLY air-gapping the control network. If they want remote monitoring (not control), they can put a polling device on the control network. It can send all the data via a serial port with the RX connections removed to another machine on the internal network that can be reached via VPN.
I was referring to the cost of data recovery if the logic board fails.
I agree that the T2 probably isn't all that expensive.
Well that will certainly drive the price up.

I doubt they care all that much, but they need to convince their buyers that the data is accurate.
