  1. What does "in dubio pro reo" have to do with extradition?

  2. Re:No on Can Blockchain Save The Music Industry? (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    If I bought the rights to "Song A" from Artist A and Artist B who owns "Song B" claims I'm plagiarizing them, shouldn't that be an issue between Artist A and Artist B?

    If Song A was never Artist A's to begin with, they're illegally selling it.

  3. If posting a picture of a pork BBQ to Facebook is also illegal in your country, sure.

    If I want to pay someone $1.99 in bitcoin for a song, I need to stick on a $3 transaction fee or it will never get processed. Even then it may take a few days.

    Are you selling guns, drugs or people?

    ... maybe
    It might help calm the copyright trolls down if there is a public ledger that says who has rights to what.

  7. So Apple lied? on Hobbyist Gives iPhone 7 the Headphone Jack We've Always Wanted (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Didn't they say there was no room for a headphone jack?

    Did they only do it to give their up-coming Air Pods a sales boost?

  8. Here's a prediction on Disney Is Pulling Star Wars and Marvel Films From Netflix (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    It will be followed with a spike in piracy and less revenue for Disney

  9. Or it means they're outside your house while you're not home, with a loud enough ultrasonic sound for your Echo to hear through the wall.

    Now your door is unlocked (because you were stupid enough to hook your door locks up to the internet and have them voice controlled).

  10. They could order an Amazon Echo to "open the backdoor."

    If you're not home and someone says "open the back door" loud enough for Alexa to hear it, you've fucked yourself anyway.

    Pro tip: Don't control your security system/door locks with a voice system anyone can use. You may as well have the doorbell unlock the door.

  11. Census data doesn't include Facebook bots.
    Obviously bots account for a significant portion of the numbers.

  12. You can't load arbitrary TrustZone OS firmware, only old versions of it.

    Replacing the trustlet is not zero footprint, it's a file on the filesystem that the OS loads when it boots. You need to root the device to overwrite the file. Re-flashing the OS will undo your exploit. There's nothing stopping anyone from writing an "Exploit detection app" like the Stagefright detection apps, as all they'll need to do is read the version of the trustlets.

    There's also not much stopping a vendor from updating the TrustZone firmware to remove the old verification keys and release new trustlets signed with new keys.

  13. It explains that when the same key pairs are used for new versions, the old ones can still be loaded.
    The vendors can change they keys with each version, but since it becomes much harder to manager, they don't.

  14. In step 4 by "Tamper Trustzone" you mean "Load an old version of Trustzone, because there isn't a vulnerability in the verification, only that you can replace a new verified binary with an old verified binary"

    Same goes for the trustlet's this article is about, except a device update will overwrite the old trustlets.

  15. When are they going to ditch that boring game and replace it with Blernsball?

  16. It's much more fun being condescending though.

    Any more than 5 minutes is too much effort to put towards a slashdot post

  17. Apparently Marshmellow was only released for non-LTE models. People who manually upgraded to Android 6 lost LTE support.

    Also, the hardware has many revisions.
    According to https://forum.xda-developers.c... the M2-801L has a B006 and B007 revision that require different ROMs

    Perhaps you should have done 5 minutes of Googling and you would have found the answers yourself.

  18. Re:File under on Binge Watching TV Makes It Less Enjoyable, Study Says (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    They repeat the same show every day for a week so you don't need to be available at the exact same time every week. They don't release a new episode every day (unless it's a daily soap opera) or unless they're Netflix and encourage binge watching

  19. Additionally, when you click "Download" on the chrome page, you must accept the EULA presented to you before you can download it.

    When you click Download on the Vivaldi page, it says "thank you" and the download starts automatically.

    Appears Google have themselves covered there too.

  20. Google don't need to follow the AdWords terms and conditions for their Chrome pages.
    Not because they are AdWords, but because those pages have no advertising. None of the Chrome pages do. Infact, pretty much no Google pages apart from their ad platforms - YouTube, Gmail, Search - have anything remotely to do with AdWords.

  21. From what I can find, they only ever released Lollipop for the 10" MediaPad T2. No Marshmellow. They did for the 8" model, which is completely different hardware.

    It's the only Huawei tablet that matches your specifications of 1920x1200 with 2GB RAM and LTE
    http://consumer.huawei.com/en/...

    Looks like they also made several hardware versions of this as well. I can see references to FDR-A01W and FDR-A01L

  22. He didn't invent accelerometers.
    They were invented decades earlier for the explicit purpose of detecting motion.

    It's like the classic "... on a computer" patent claim, except this is "... on an elderly person"

  23. The company went out of business long ago (and not because elderly people have been strapping Nintendo Wii's to themselves for fall detection) so they're searching for any business that does any sort of motion detection using a motion sensor to sue.

  24. Excellent, you've just cleared the way for me to release my Elderly Person Crash Detection Device.
    It detects when an elderly person crashes to the ground.
    I just need more real-world testing to detect hip breakages.

  25. Only if it's a PV based solar farm.
    Thermal solar plants continue to produce power when the sun goes down.
