    talk yes, hangouts no.

  3. Re:Biometric authentication is flawed on Chaos Computer Club Claims It Can Reproduce Fingerprints From People's Photos · · Score: 1

    And you have at most 10.
    Now think of one sensor type. You need access to 12 things. 12 Things save the data of your fingerprint (fuzzy). Enough data to identify a fuzzy fingerprint from you. Now lets start calculating something similiar to a fingerprint, which matches the fuzzy data. Now print it in 3D and authenticate at one of the other things with it. So suddenly the thief of your mobile phone can be you at the ATM.

  8. Docker images are bullshit on Docker Image Insecurity · · Score: 1

    Build a base tar.gz with debootstrap and use Dockerfiles. Downloading images is insecure by design. What makes you trust the docker verification? How are they supposed to spot a backdoor in a whole big image? Build it yourself, use Dockerfiles you read first.

  9. Install into the ROM (read only memory) on Thunderbolt Rootkit Vector · · Score: 1

    Find the mistake.

    Vendors are stupid, if they make ROM writable, without setting a jumper. Or making it writable at all.

  11. Re:Isn't that click fraud? on AdNauseam Browser Extension Quietly Clicks On Blocked Ads · · Score: 1

    It does not matter for you as user, as you do not have a contract with the site owner or advertiser. The site owner is not allowed to do so on his ads, you are free to do whatever you like.

    Custom Servers for 1.5 still not available and mozilla announced to discontinue sync 1.1 soon. So does this release still support it?

    addendum: You are making it a WOMEN problem. I did not even mention gender. Wouldn't you have the same problem with two men? Think about it ... and stop thinking in stereotypes.

  18. Re:And... on Ask Slashdot: Making a 'Wife Friendly' Gaming PC? · · Score: 1

    you sound a bit sexist. This IS a social problem. You make it a women problem. That's not okay.

    "Its too ugly and noisy" is not a technical problem at first, but a social one "i think its too ugly and noisy in my opinion". Now you can accept this (okay, i think it too but i need the power), doubt it (hey, its not that loud) or acknowledge the other opinion (okay, its too loud for you).
    Now start thinking about strategies to solve this (still solving the social problem first):
    - avoid the problem by changing location or times
    - buy another device
    - mod the current device
    - use long cables, put it in some other room
    - talk about it and agree on some compromise
    - ...

    Now you decided to solve it with one of the technical solutions, you can start discussing if you for example need to buy a silent one and what's the budget. But first you need to decide the social problem, which may result in "we do not have to solve some tech issue, because we solved the main problem (one person disliking the pc of the other person) in some other way".

  19. Re:And... on Ask Slashdot: Making a 'Wife Friendly' Gaming PC? · · Score: 1

    Because that IS the problem. OP is trying to solve a social problem with technology. If his PC is just a normal gaming pc, the whole problem is more like "i do not really like it, don't do it". A solution would be social, like using another room for the pc, having agreements about the gaming times, etc.

  20. HDMI and USB-Cables with lag? on Ask Slashdot: Making a 'Wife Friendly' Gaming PC? · · Score: 1

    WTF?
    And then you ask for wireless tech, hoping it would be faster?

    Just put it in a room, where you have some quiet time for yourself and your gaming. you are not disturbed, your wife is not disturbed. win-win.

  23. Re:Why is Android allowing Uber to access the info on Uber's Android App Caught Reporting Data Back Without Permission · · Score: 1

    So, they did strip the security?
    Just a little reminder: a program on your linux system can read everything the user can read. Android apps need to ask for permissions (of course, they ask for a lot, but they still need to ask).

    The problem is on the other hand, that most apps are spyware, as we called it when people still used PCs. And nobody cares anymore. On the PC we did not install programs, which did more than they should. on the mobile phone it's just normal.

  25. Re:Additional... both sides are showing bad behavi on How To End Online Harassment · · Score: 1

    Recently i read an article with some linked tweets, which mentioned death threads, while the tweets read like "go die". I only though, how long have they been on the internet? Stuff like go die, STFU, fuck yourself are just slang.
