Even if Putin does somehow “own Trump”, that doesn’t mean he also controls every American-based business. And Trump has a slightly more adversarial relationship with his own country’s spy agencies, compared to the former KGB intelligence officer.
I'll take care of my own privacy with Noscript, Open Referer Control, uBlock Origin, User-Agent Switcher, Ghostery, Cookie Autodelete, Greasemonkey, Tor and all the others thank you very much.
The irony here is these are also all “free services”, not so different from DuckDuckGo. Have you personally done a code audit on each one?
DuckDuckGo sells clearly-marked ads - they tell you that, and they ask (but do not require) that you whitelist their site so they can make some money on serving you search results. I can live with that.
This student got access to the CIA Director’s accounts and certain devices, not those of the FBI Director.
Additionally the summary says he “also persuaded a helpdesk at the FBI that he was the then deputy director Mark Giuliano”, but doesn’t say he accomplished anything with that.
Yeah, that was my main problem with that ad. It's weirdly and completely disconnected from reality - the kid's statement is just not remotely believable, and that pretty much destroys the whole concept the rest of the commercial builds up. I get what Apple thinks they're saying... but it just doesn't work.
I have a teenage niece who, in a lot of ways, could be that kid. My niece takes her iPad (which has a keyboard case) almost everywhere and does just about everything on it. But she knows what a "computer" is - she just doesn't need to use a traditional computer for much of anything she wants to do.
I think the commercial would work much better for "the masses" if, at the end, the kid had said something along the lines of "it's not a computer, it's my iPad - I do everything with it."
FWIW I have an iPad, and I have a computer - and I use them both, but for different things.
And having anything really important protected by a 4 digit code isn't acceptable, so i can't have anything important on my phone as a result.
What phone do you have which only offers the choice of a 4-digit lock code? It’s obviously not an iPhone - even the default is 6 digits, and you can choose a pass phrase that’s as arbitrarily hard as you’d like.
Additionally, there are some options that let you select what TouchID can and can’t be used to unlock. I’ll be curious to see if your health information is one of them in this new beta.
Picard received one section of the private key after the mysterious death of his old mentor - but he didn't know what it was at first, since they don't use money anymore in the 24th century. However they eventually figured out where more parts of the private key were, even though a Klingon captain and Tara King tried to interfere. Finally they got to the last planet, where the shapeshifter lady from DS9 gave a little holographic presentation.
- Google chose to rebrand and reorganize as Alphabet. When we're talking about Alphabet, isn't it about time we just say "Alphabet" not "Google's parent company Alphabet"?
- Stop referring to "X" as "Google X". It hasn't been "Google X" since Google did the whole silly rebrand. The parent company is Alphabet; so if you have to append something call it "Alphabet X". Yes, it does sound stupid - live with it.
I'm aware that all the rebrand did is muddy the waters for everybody... but it's been more than two years now. We're far enough along that there's no real point in wasting words re-explaining it. Just use the goofy names these engineers came up with, snicker if you must, and move on.
Apple has been keeping the three most-recent versions of macOS / OS X patched for quite a few years now. What was actually a bit unusual was them releasing a partial patch for High Sierra without also posting patches for Sierra and El Capitan at the same time.
Regardless, I'm glad to see this since I'm (intentionally) still running El Capitan.
The Carbon X1 looks like a very nice laptop, although it comes with a very MacBook Pro-ish price!
When the time comes to replace my 2015 13" MacBook Pro, I am going to seriously look at non-Mac options... although they'll need to run Linux well, which isn't always a given.
Plus, post 2015, they port-neutered the MacBook Pro so all it is anymore is an higher powered, oversized MacBook anyway - so there's very little lineup differentiation.
I decided to read TFA, and it appears you are correct. The document in question compares the number of “New Nuclear Delivery Vehicles Over the Past Decade” between Russia, China, North Korea, and the US. The other three countries show numerous new ways to kill Americans, while the US section is woefully blank except for one only little blip in the far right corner.
It really is apparent the referenced one-page infographic’s sole purpose is to convince politicians that we need to spend lots of money on new nukes.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the back side of the sheet had some sort of graphic spelling out the economic damage all those unemployed Bechtel engineers are inflicting on the US economy.
After all, San Francisco was a quiet, inexpensive little town to live in - right up until Apple and Google moved into the area. In fact, no one had even heard of the place until around 2000.

Certainly -I’m not meaning to argue with that statement.
I think the idea the DuckDuckGo is “Russian” comes from the fact that they currently use Yandex’s search results as one of their primary sources.

The USA government types are incompetent with IT.
Isn't this about Verizon failing, not the gov?
The Slashdot reader types are incompetent with reading.

”And at least one user was able to guess the original password, too: "flame." (It's since been changed).”
That’s just the kind of attention to security best practices I’d expect from a Founder of PayPal.
He already did - look further up the page.
I know this!

Thank you - I appreciate the informative feedback from both you and serviscope_minor.
Since he's such a valuable asset, as a precaution he's not allowed to drive with Autopilot.
In the vicinity of fire stations, at any rate...
To build something no one else could even envision, all the in the know people will think your nuts
Yeah, yeah, so I didn’t think PayPal would ever amount to anything - quit rubbing my nose in it would’ja?

Mark this down: Nobody reading this page today will live to see ubiquitous self-driving personal transportation in the United States.
Just FYI - I'm not planning to die, so I'll eventually see this.

Justice of the Peace.
More seriously... it’s a sign that Microsoft is having to reach pretty far afield nowadays to get anyone to buy into their plans.
She also knows a seat cushion tester named Maya Surts, and is part of a working mother's support group with Erasmus B. Dragon.
