Exactly. If a "hacker" gained that much access to a device inside your house, they could just as easily plant their own bug inside that or any other appliance or household decoration. How is this new or surprising? Is this just propaganda in support of EUFI?
How does making something "open source" magically make it bug-free and highly secure?
Didn't you know open source has magical properties? Masses of people will suddenly give a shit about the state of the code and want to fix it. After all, when did an open source project ever stagnate and die from lack of interested developers?... oh right...
It takes LLVM bitcode - which can be generated from C/C++, using llvm-gcc (DragonEgg) or clang, or any other language that can be converted into LLVM - and compiles that into JavaScript
I have been reducing who I follow for 6 months now and the one constant truth with twitter now is, everybody is going to post or retweet something about Trump. Most of them will do it daily or more frequently than that. Maybe I need to learn better ways to search for alternative topics or more interesting people, but I'm ready to stop using it any day now because of the obsession with Trump.
And as for their advertising, I get the same ads over and over and over. Like 2 or 3 of them, not really aligned with any of my interests or related to things I typically do on the internet. They just seem poorly targeted, and repeated so many times that they engender hatred for the product and company they represent. Over-saturation should be avoided by anybody wanting their advertisements to draw people towards them.
I would tweet about that, if only I could find a way to relate it to Trump...
Are you for real? Its just a logo and a fun mascot. You don't have to buy the shirt. So do you think Christians are also offended by the bitten apple logo, cos of, you know, that whole incident in the garden with the serpent? Or the Windows logo with that blasphemous rendition of a cross in the middle of it? Sheesh, how is a good Christian supposed to choose a clean wholesome O/S these days?
A few of the BSDs have dropped 32 bit support, so that could be a limit if your hardware is old.
It requires a bit of investigation and reading, just for the differences from Linux with config and management, but if you enjoy that sort if thing it is not too difficult. If you expect GUI setup doing everything from a single click, then its prolly not for you.
I put FreeBSD on a very old IBM Thinkcentre PC last year, which took a little bit of work getting all the hardware supported, but for me that was all good fun, I got onto the FreeBSD irc channel to get some direction, which I found to be friendly and informative.
The last few Python based applications I have installed have suggested installing venv and running the app in its own little kingdom, because nobody can distribute Python scripts with any kind of reliance on versions of Python and versions of library modules that may be installed. It seems to be an in-joke with Python developers and users alike, to break backwards compatibility when possible.
With a good code editor you can configure display of whitespace characters. I usually have tab characters visible, tho only a slight shade lighter than the background color, even when using C#, as it shows the outline of the code blocks that way. Personally I don't recall having problems using tabs in my code, when copying and pasting etc, and it is a few years now since I last coded in Python, but I didn't have much of a problem with it then.
I still feel the offerings for PSVR are lacking. Valkyrie is fun but is not a single player game, so I get to learn how much I suck at aiming a weapon whilst being blasted by experienced players. Have only tried a demo of Driveclub VR, high speed cornering was more discomforting than flying a spaceship, but I will probably buy the full game when I feel the need to increase my gaming hours. I have high hopes for Doom when it finally gets released.
Yeah well I my hand is crawling slowly, day by day, towards the big Cancel button on the Netflix account. In-house content is great... as long as it is Great! When it loses flavor and becomes watery drool the customers surely will turn someplace else.
I have started using AliExpress, mainly because I can find items there which local retailers mark up the price anything from 5 to 15 times. Tho I think I do most of that on my desktop via the browser, I installed the phone app just out of curiosity. They have an interesting technique to inspire app use, with daily special discounts for app users only. I guess that could attract more app purchasing if the goods & prices are exceptional.
Our government will try to mess this online shopping up by charging goods and import taxes, but even then the prices will remain a fraction of what the country's retailers are gouging us with. I don't see online shopping use declining anytime soon, so it's a reasonable bet that it may move away from browsers to specific apps on portable devices.
Yeah but at least for those of use who migrated from win 98 or earlier, Linux had a far more interesting set of desktop options. Shame it hasn't kept progressing since then.
They disappointed me badly with the "smart" tv which they decided to leave with a bad slow O/S, even tho it has an update function and is able to receive upgrades. They made some strange proprietary O/S and required app developers to make one-off apps for this tv, then later on it appears that they realized they should have just used a standard Android system instead. Now the app providers don't care about putting out updates to the strange one-off apps, the whole product range available for this model is stagnant and buggy. The web browser they included is a complete joke and can't even load a single static page without crashing. The processor must be the cheapest lowest performing chipset they could possibly have laid their hands on, why not spend a couple of dollars more and deliver something that starts up and responds to the user before they have lost interest and wandered off to the kitchen? I could go on.
The company too readily drops crap products on customers then recommends that we throw it away and buy a newer model when we want it to behave how we were led to believe it would in the first place.
Consumers expect that devices running an operating system and add-on software is able to be upgraded and kept modern by the provider, we don't view these devices as something we are going to throw out in a couple of years. Producers need to change their entire attitude. In a world of growing pollution and diminishing resources, a company like Sony would do well to establish themselves as producers of products that you will only ever need to buy once.
It was a "survey", they didn't go there or take pictures. They phoned up all the inhabitants and asked then to give a number on a scale of 10, for how much plastic-free area they could see on the beach. As there were no inhabitants willing to participate in the phone survey, there was no evidence of plastic-free beach found by the survey. Conclusive proof!
If you wanted to make the statement that you are coming after anybody who operates a TOR node, this would pretty much cover that.
When making bold statements about your power and willingness to use it, I don't think the guilt or innocence of your chosen target is all that relevant, is it?
Isn't this basically a blatant violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse act? What if a small timer had done this and not a mega corporation?
Essentially it is an act of accessing a computer system belonging to somebody else, without their permission. I imagine the legal description of hacking could be stretched around this well enough to take it to court in a country like the US where litigation rules.
Since the digital keypad on phones is a graphic display, why not simply have the keypad randomly rotated, so the patterns keep changing? Even better than rotating, scramble the number positions. All this talk of seeing somebody typing in a PIN from a distance, recording the phone movement etc just make me wonder.
So they are saying that if a malicious compromising app is already installed and running on your phone, then your phone could be compromised? Were they on salary while determining this?

It takes a bit of talking at the EBGames store before the young ones realize I'm not there to buy something for a grandchild.

Not really running C++ then is it?
You know you can tune what you see, right?

I'm not in the us and I think we only get a fraction of the Netflix content here. We have gone thru most everything of interest.

You need to install Spotify on that phone for some cool, soothing, Definitely Not Fake - We Don't Own This ambient music.

Or third option; just fake it and edit the video, like the majority of other unbelievable videos on YT.
You don't need an app for that, just delete that pesky kernel file.
Hey, maybe we need an app for that!

What is this "writing" you speak of? Is there an app for that?
Can't remember when I last handled a check tho.
