  1. Tempest in a Teacup on Nvidia's New GeForce Experience 3.0 Requires Mandatory Registration (pcworld.com) · · Score: 2

    It's optional software. Dont installed it if you dont want it.

  2. Re:cable is not over the air waves on FCC Chief To Unveil Revised Plan To Eliminate Cable Boxes (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    > If a cable company puts some wire down, they ought to be able to do whatever they want with it as it does not interfere with other devices.

    Because the cable company didn't 'put some wire down', the cable companies took billions in subsidies from the US Govt and did fuck all.

    And? That have no effect on being able to forge a PGP message.

  4. That'd still require them to breach Amazon.

    What does that have to do with this attack?

    Hardly any. Unless you're an idiot posting your public key everywhere or reusing a key, there's zero chance of this happening to you.

  7. Flip Feng Shui can massage physical memory in a way that causes crypto keys and other sensitive data to be stored in locations known to be susceptible to Rowhammer.

    For SSH, since you can only flip one bit, you have to already know the public key you want to exploit, find a easily factorizable key one bitflip away, then get the host to dedup. So no, this wont allow somebody to hack into arbitrary servers, only if there's already been data exfiltrated.

  8. It belonged to Spacecom and since it exploded before launch isn't covered by insurance, so they're out $200 million.

  9. Re:Why would you want tech companies in the downto on No Coding in Palo Alto? City Takes On Silicon Valley Growth (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    > Wall street is downtown.

    I wouldn't consider anything past Canal as 'downtown', that's financial district.

    > US Capital is downtown

    Again, no. It's again, on the south side of downtown.

  10. Re:25 to 30 feet above the trees? on 65-Year-Old Woman Shoots Down Drone Over Her Virginia Property With One Shot (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not how that works.

  11. > A state cannot legally prohibit me from flying anywhere, only the FAA can.

    Oh aren't you precious. FAA only controls public airspace. There's not currently a definition of the boundary of where public airspace begins over private land.

    We can't all ID all of the one-hit-wonders.

  13. > classified top secret, provided by Snowden, and not previously available to the public.

    But it was available to Wikileaks. Occam Razor says hacking wikileaks is probably easier.

  14. StarCitizen of Embedded Devices on The $5 Onion Omega2 Gives Raspberry Pi a Run For Its Money (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    They're wanting to do a lot for $5

    It's only a bad thing if they're excluding better qualified people. If they're hiring the best person for the job regardless of what they have between their legs and the color of their skin, and it turns out to be a bunch of white guys, then that's just an artifact of the talent pool.

  23. make a rescue disk. Reboot. If you can, you're fine, if not use rescue disk to rebuild mbr
