Looking for a cool, community-accessible place where anyone can walk in, pull a book of the shelf, and start reading without being pressured? Try the library! If, like the article, you think "a bookstore is much more than a bookstore, it's much more than selling books. It's a public shelter. Whoever you are, you don't have to buy anything, they won't ask you for your ID. You're free -- you can stay for hours and browse. There's a generosity, an optimism." What you are looking for is a library. Many will even let you check out books on exchange with other library systems, not just other branches.
If a user has gone to the trouble of configuring a browser (or plugin) to spoof which browser they are using, why would I want to help researchers circumvent that?
If there's a good reason to defeat an intentional user choice, I'd love to hear it.
Our website has a bootstrap drop-down menu an each item in a list on a page. When the mouse hovered over an item that opened a submenu, the submenu would make the page grow, Chrome scrolled to the bottom, the mouse was no longer over the menu item and the submenu closed, shrinking the page and Chrome scrolled and the mouse was hovering over the menu again.
Rapid cycling of screen position and menu state was Not Good. At least you can turn off the anchoring...
I agree completely. My password manager comment section is full of randomly generated passwords to answer those damn "security" questions. "In what city were you born?" "cnf3kPiDkYDeYUur"
Yes, there was a link to a web page with the word "Ubuntu" in the name of the URL, but what does that mean? It means someone posted a link to Age of Ultron on a page that they sneakily called "Ubuntu 12.04". I'm guessing the title of the page is not-so-clever misdirection. I'm not a fan of the DMCA, but this article doesn't mean a darn thing wrong has happened.
Didn't Snowden just post "It's time" and follow that with what looks like a decryption key? The files in this leak were last updated in 2013, when Snowden left the country. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this is legit and it is more information Snowden took from the NSA.
LoL! Thanks. I suppose I should have added emphasis with italics or bold or maybe even _faux underline_. Sometimes, I just like SHOUTING! *shrug*
It didn't seem worth replying to the AC directly. This isn't a technical nuance, this is a large security hole in iOS. I'm glad the FBI is calling Apple out on it so Apple might be forced (by consumer demand) to actually close their lousy backdoor!
The user's data is encrypted, but the OS is not. I do not have personal knowledge, but this is Schneier's article on the issue: https://www.schneier.com/blog/...
Sure, Schneier could be mistaken, but barring other evidence I'm willing to accept his analysis. My opinion, FWIW, of what Apple should do in regards to this court order hinges on whether or not the devices can be updated without being unlocked. To be clear, I'm not talking about a remote exploit and user interaction is not an issue, the device user now is the FBI. The question is if the OS can be updated without unlocking the phone and the answer to that seems to be "yes."
Apple may not be able to unlock this phone, but as was said in another article on/., Apple CAN update iOS on the device without user interaction.
The back door is ALREADY THERE.
The FBI is just calling Apple out on that fact and asking for a change in the code from "if attempts > 10 then wipe" to "if attempts != attempts then wipe". the FBI will do the unlocking from there.
That's what they say when we share torrents And you should have paid They don't understand And so we download just as much as we can Getting songs sung by our favorite band Trying to not to pay for copyrights And then you type into the search box and we look for the new sounds And then you say "I think I'm a pirate, here's a tune that was released early today." "I think I'm a pirate, I hope I don't get caught by the RIAA."

Considering what many websites consider "working" to be, "breaking" many sites IS the win. I use noscript all the time, easily whitelist the few sites I WANT to "work" and things work so much better. I get on a computer without noscript and I am astonished by all the cruft that passes for content. Use noscript for a week and you won't go back.
I live in Florida and this embarrasses me. However, I think giving Florida back to Spain might fix the problem. I don't think this is a Florida problem as much as a U.S. problem. In this country, we criminalize everything and take common sense out of the picture.
So use the old machine to power the drive up if you don't have the power connector for it. Like a jumper cable. Open the old machine and set it next to the new one. USB adapter to the new computer, power from the old. The old computer will just sit there failing to find a boot drive, and you don't have to open the new one up. An adapter as suggested is the best way to go.
No time to cook and yet the average American watches almost 5 hours of TV per day. (The number of hours watched per day actually climbs steadily as you get older, from around 2 to 7 hours per day.) You can even watch TV while you cook!
I also don't believe for a moment that "unprocessed" foods are more expensive. Rice, beans (dried or canned), frozen vegetables, canned tomatoes or paste, basic spices, and even most fresh produce costs less than highly processed foods like chips or microwave meals. Meats and dairy may seem more expensive to buy straight out, but those highly processed foods are not bargains loaded with lots of good meat and quality cheese; they have just enough to get you to buy the thing and lots and lots of salt.
I think the problem is education. I suspect there is a growing population of people who really don't know how to take basic ingredients and turn them into a meal. It does change the equation a bit when you have to take care of kids. That's one of the things that my parents and grandparents did: cooking was family time.
I started a shared data pool plan for my family and my brother's usage was estimated at about 2GB per month. A couple weeks into the billing cycle I checked usage and my brother had used MORE data than the other FIVE of us combined, and was on track to use over 5GB! We talked about it and it turned out he had the new facebook app installed and complained that the videos had started autoplaying. He found it annoying. We did a quick search and found that the DEFAULT setting is to autoplay videos as you scroll past them, regardless of the connection type.
We changed the setting to "Wi-Fi Only" (or never) and nothing else about his usage. His average daily bandwidh went from 150MB to 50MB.
Facebook's new, annoying, default setting was on track to add 3GB PER MONTH of data usage! (30 days * 100MB)
We were lucky to be on a new plan with 6 people that I was monitoring to make sure we had the right data plan. An extra 3GB of data sent to a casual users ought to earn Facebook some kickbacks from cellphone providers!

As the other commenters say, even for animations and fixed palette images there are better, open options.

I haven't written a single line of compilable code at my latest job. :)
Thank you for this. I only read the comments on this question to find this answer! :)
Are you saying that browser spoofing is equivalent to falsifying credentials? That would be a frightening precedent...
If a user has gone to the trouble of configuring a browser (or plugin) to spoof which browser they are using, why would I want to help researchers circumvent that?

I prefer not to have the walled garden, but I'd like to protest this stupid rule more than I want to protest Apple!

I'm running Windows 10 on a MacMini so this exploit could affect Windows 10.
(Actually, triple-boots OS X, Win 10, and Ubuntu Not Ten.)

The USB adapters can power laptop drives. I've never had an issue with that.
So use the old machine to power the drive up if you don't have the power connector for it. Like a jumper cable. Open the old machine and set it next to the new one. USB adapter to the new computer, power from the old. The old computer will just sit there failing to find a boot drive, and you don't have to open the new one up.
