Cause that's about the only thing why it wouldn't be compatible with Windows 10. Hardware so old, only XP runs with it. At most, slap in a SSD and it will run fine usually.
This doesn't solve anything. Just like various browser extensions for Chrome or whole Android Apps are sold and then made into adware or worse. There the whole account is basically bought, and the same can be done in github. If people continue to misuse github as a package repository, it will happen sooner or later.
My guess this stuff is irrelevant for the game at the actual olympics, except having pretty numbers and graphs for the viewers on TV. However it will probably totally change training in the sport. If you have two kinds of brooms, both handle the same, but one is smart and the other not. You use the smart one to train and learn your best techniques, you use the dumbe on when in competition. Just using this wonderbroom in competition won't do anything anyways.
How is this supposed to work on a rooted Smartphone? Banking software usually has root detector software integrated, but as various demos and lectures at hacking conferences have shown, their success rate is probably somewhere below the average AV software against malware. If banking malware can make appear anything on screen, so can a software to "emulate" this. Of course, if it goes through everywhere, then using fake ID for bars, driving when underage, etc. just got a lot easier.
If a researcher, tester, AV company sends some PoC code opening calc.exe, then this is not malware! To be malware, some code has to be actually malicious, doing evil things like encrypting harddisks for ransom, sending spam, mining coins, etc.. Simply trying out a bug in existing software to get a better understanding or to write AV detection routines is not malware!
Except maybe code from AV companies. That is probably always malware, no matter the intent or what it actually does
At the barest minimum, the swatter needs to pay the cost of the police action he caused, which will be probably a few thousand if not tens of thousands of dollars after the government accounting is done. Then making a false accusation and/or a false statement which could have caused other harm since the SWAT team wasn't available for real emergenicies.
Make swatting immediately illegal with at least possible jailtime, with punitive damages and of course actual damages incurred by the police department. Then the civil suit from the victims.
If the question has no answer and is supposed to foster critical or creative thinking, how did the teachers grade the answers? What were the actual answers? As it stands, this is bullshit "news" cause the important part of the whole incident wasn't reported. Why am I not surprised that it's "news" from Jeff Bezos' Blog?
Did the pupils get full credit when they pointed out how the question is unanswerable? Did they get credit for the lower bound of 18? Did they get no credit for things like the 42 answer which is simply a lame old joke?
Neither cows, sheep or pigs are raised on land valuable enough for agriculture. However they are raised on crops from those fields, crops that have been sprayed with the exact same pesticides and the exact same amount of pesticides as food destined for humans.
All those animals which are slaughtered for meat need food crops too, just food crops for animals: corn, soy, etc. They are getting the exact same pesticides as "your" food.
Also the usual/. headline is as usual: crap. EUGT did all this, which is a lobby organisation by BMW, Mercedes and VW. They all are responsible, not just VW alone.
What kind of moonshot leads to yet another run of the mill security company? What's the special sauce that is moonshot worthy enough? The moonshot program from Google started with "we do crazy/fun things that are totally out there but could just maybe become a real service or product one day" Like Internet from balloons or modular cellphones, etc. A new security company service is nothing out there. There are tons of those just with less name recognition than Google.
As written in the summary, the CPU maker is the only entity who can create a fixed microcode, be it for inclusion into firmware (BIOS/UEFI) files or in Linux kernel microcode files. So asking the OEM vendors won't help one bit cause they can simply do nothing at all except use a file create by Intel. If RH is too small to force Intel to create working microcode without boot up bugs, then others aren't big enough either.
Then next thing is: what will RH do in the future? Never apply the Spectre microcodes due to instability? If so, what happens in the future when other microcode updates are needed, like before? Intel has afaik only a single microcode file for Linux for pretty much all CPUs together. There is no mix and match, no way for Linux to selectively choose what to load. That is why RH had to go back to an older version without the breakage for Spectre. they couldn't just disable the new buggy part of the microcode. This file you can see and download here: https://downloadcenter.intel.c... Normally it lives in your initrd. Sooner or later RH has to include a current microcode file from Intel in RHEL again. Would have been nice if they had clearly communicated this to their customers. Not "wash their hands" but "we will continually work with Intel until this issue is resolved."
who are behind this SFWA thing? So we can avoid them in the future, cause they obviously suck at thinking about technology, the future and what it means for society. I could understand if it was org for writers of world war 2 fiction, regency romances or other stuff for old farts doing this, but SF?
Use an algorithm to create congressional districts with census data so each district has approx. the same amount of possible voters and the smallest circumference. No more rigging to create safe districts for either party with ridiculous borders.
Not with Intel CPUs. They only get 3-5% faster at best per generation. So you need at least 2 Generations. Consider then that we have the 3rd CPU family but still the same gen (Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffeelake are all the same CPU, just clocked differently), I don't see better Intel CPUs anytime soon.
It doesn't matter if some product is a few days late. What matters is that people camp out before the stores to buy it. If it is late, then they well camp out longer, nobody cares. Least of all the campers. Lateness only costs sales cause they don't really really want it anyways. If it's a "must buy NOWWWWWW!" then it doesn't matter how late it is. If it's "meh... oh a new phone..." then it matters
Cook's failing is he's a bad salesman and a totally useless visioneer. He is simply not Jobs. Cook is a great lieutenant, the guy that actually does the hard daily work so the general can give the big speeches and make the big decision and get all the glory. Jobs was the general, Cook the lieutenant. Then the general died and they had to promote the lieutenant to do the general's job cause good generals are impossible to find. He doesn't do the job really badly, but what he does isn't that sustainable in the long run for a company like Apple imho.
Jobs constantly made his underlings develop new stuff, new gizmos and then was great selling them to the masses. Not all of it was actually good, but more than enough was. Jobs basically was a venture capitalist for apple products, he invested apple in products instead of startup companies. Some became a multibillion dollar IPO like the Imac, iphone, etc and some failed like the cube Mac or maybe AppleTV. Obviously far more than simply enough stuck and made Apple what it is.
Right now Apple only has really one great product: their CPUs. All other things they are meh, pretty much same as the rest of the pack. Nothing that you can't get elsewhere (no people, don't care that much which OS they run, only Linux people do and they are 0.x% of the market). Apple is with their CPUs around where Intel was with Sandy Bridge: best thing by a wide margin around. But as we see today: it's great, but it won't last forever. You need new products, new product categories like this to sustain a valuation and margins like Apple. Apple is where Microsoft was 15-20 years ago. Still top dog, margins out of this world, but the sign is on the wall, even when they still have a rising stock price and rising profits. They will be able to ride this for a long time, but they still end where Microsoft is: many long years of going sideways on the NASDAQ. And ultimately Sun, SGI, DEC if they are unlucky.
Apple does this by creating new firmware which then activates this for phone models that are approx. 2 years old at the time of the firmware release. They obviously know that after ~2 years, batteries are beginning to go bad. After two years, neither HTC nor Lenovo (a Motorola that sells phones hasn't existed for years, bought out ages ago) don't support phones that long typically, so when there are no updates, there obviously is no artificial downclocking either.
As an aside: whenever we pointed out that a built in battery on phones is moronically stupid and ensures planned obsolescence after a few years (batteries are the main wear part by far), then various people, among them Apple users but also Android users point out how it's not true and how they are using their phone 4 years now or whatever and it still keeps a charge over a full day. Guess it's easier to hold a charge when the CPU doesn't actually run at its rated clockspeed.
This is simply outright what is colloquially known as "hacking". Which is why the CFAA needs to be applied. Why haven't these researchers told their AG? After all, when normal users find a unsecured database by some corporation and access it, they get sued too. Same standard here applies, and this time the culprits even use a documented security hole, meaning the crime is wholly willful.
You may call the french many things, but commies? meter is a french invented concept.
If you are near a ATM or other public machine, a sledge is kinda conspicuous, especially when used. Some tone generator much much less so, as long as it works through the case of the ATM and isn't jackhammer-loud
Besides: when you beat up the ATM already, you simply steal the money inside after breaking it open, not just corrupt the harddisk in some weird high tech kinda attack.
Debian takes approx 2 years between releases and has at least a ~6 months freeze before releasing, sometimes longer. Great for commercial applications. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
At the same time, they have a sort of rolling release for people who want new stuff in testing branch so everyone can continously test, and a bleeding edge for all the cool kids who need to brag in sid/unstable
From the OSes/distros I use, Debian ist always the best to actually use and by far the easiest to upgrade when a new version rolls around. I only install Debian when I change to a new disk/ssd. My homeserver runs on a 80GB Barracuda IV parallel ATA (the thick ribbon cables) from ~2003. After installation: forever simply dist-upgrades no "reinstall since the damn thing BSODs on boot" or whatever. The only reason this is possible cause Debian takes a lot of time preparing the releases (those >=6 month freeze times). Ubuntu which is the most like Debian instead has a 6 months release cycle and they constantly have shit-tons of problems with every new release, same with Windows which also moved to a 6 months cycle now.
A cop doesn't store all the pictures ever taken on a multiterabyte government database in Utah where they can be used for many many other purposes. The cop has a very limited memory for maybe a few hundred faces and this memory can't be copied and stored for eternity unlike the gov db. Basically they build a database of all citizens, maybe right now not crossreferenced to Social Security Number, but it will come. as soon as the tech is capable of it.
Both, Safari and Chrome's HTML engines are forks from KHTML, well Chrome's is a fork of Apple's webkit, so it's probably easier to make Chrome work with webkit if needed than a totally different Spyglass browser engine from 1990 where the MS browsers are coming from.

As long as you keep out of anything politics related.
So chemistry or astronomy majors might look at it. Sociology or *gasp* gender studies better not.

If the highest ranking government official can't speak to the populace (or is it subjects?) without Twitter, then the US is doomed.
