Well, normally I would agree, but this one is not quite phishing anymore, it is more an OS dialog impersonation attack, and the user cannot really see what is going on. Make this dialog appear when it is reasonable to expect, and the user really does not have much of a chance.
Again, why is this even news?
Impersonation of a Login Dialog can be done on ANY OS, period
NOPE.. This is an old problem, and it is usually fixed or worked around a lot better in other OS.
It cant. There are reasons passwords fields don't popup like that in other operating systems without also doing something only the operating system can. The problem here is the lack of any indicators that this is trusted.
Neither can Tesla. They are indeed full of crap. But of course they aren't actually making level5 cars like they pretend. They are trying to make level3 AI
I think enforcing best practices in the compiler, and making it explicit when and why you are breaking them can be useful. Also, I'm not a C++ programmer, so I can't be sure, but doesn't C++ have the same problem with enums that C does?
Sometimes, but C++ is actually stronger typed than C, and you can add warning to all type-casts of enums to int. Also in C++ enums won't cast to other enums, only to and from int or whatever there underlying type is.
As for all the stuff you don't want to learn. You have to learn it for Rust anyway. The efficient safety of the language is build around the same advanced tricks as in C++, so move semantics like rvalue-references, are there, and are in fact even more complicated with temporary ownerships and borrowing.
You would do better to learn a bit of C++ and just use the parts you like and fully understand to improve your C code. Even just compiling C-code with C++ will give you stronger type safety and better warnings (which is why gcc does that now).
I think the reason Rust gets so much attention is because of the promise of safety and some additional nice to haves. As an embedded systems programmer I look at rust and wish that C had some of those features.
C++ already do. Everything in Rust is basically a best-practices of C++ programming mid 2010s. It is just inverted, where in C++ the simplest code is the unsafest, and you have to make an extra effort to follow best practices, in Rust those are simplest primitive, and the unsafe primitives are move verbose to use and only there for integration with other code.
So Rust isn't bad, but it is also kind of pointless if you are already a good c++ programmer.
There are all sorts of ways that speech in the US can get you into legal difficulties.
These "legal difficulties" occur after a shown harm; they DONT allow the authorities to mandate proactive deletion of your message before a court order referring to you specifically is issued.
Except for "leaking state secrets" --- as for that, you signed papers agreeing NOT TO leak state secrets, before you received legitimate access those secrets; if you took actions to steal secrets, then you did more than speak them.
So unlike any European country the US doesn't have a federal agency censoring TV?
Oh wait it does.
There are the facts, if you can accept them: The US has the least amoun of free speech in the entire western world.
If Apple didn't counter-indicate FaceID for children, they would probably be violating COPA - the act that makes it so companies cannot start fucking around with your data til you are 13. Well, at least, not as freely.
If that is their concern, they will also soon recommend Europeans against it.
The only way it is illegitimate is because the Spanish government has said they won't abide by it, but it can still be a legitimate referendum for the self-rule and in the eyes of the world.
Isn't Spain in the EU? How the hell is this allowed to happen?
I mean, Brussels has so little to do they can micromanage the length of carrots and the yellowness of bananas. Clearly they must have the big stuff like free speech guaranteed everywhere.
EU can punish after treaty and regulation breaks after the fact but they doesn't have any direct powers short term. Well not beyond calling a meeting of various kinds and saying harsh words. And then there is the whole problem with human rights abuses being under a difference European organization, but a much weaker one because even Russia is still a member of that one.
Three, there may be ways which third party repair places can make claims of "OEM Approved Service Vendor" under these laws.
If a garage even displays a BMW logo they'll get hammered for trademark infringement unless they're actually a BMW approved dealer.
So yes, they can do it. Once.
That is not true. At least not in any country around here. They can't claim to be licensed, but they can always have BMW signs if they have expertise and that field or happen to have used BMWs for sale.
The Mac Pro makes an excellent point in Apple's favour though because become so complex that Apple can't even figure out how to upgrade it. They had the same model for over 4 years with no updates so with complexity like that it's not even clear that they know how to repair it let alone anyone else.
Man, it took my a while to decide you were being sarcastic.. Good sarcasm:D
I have a 2009 Mac Pro. It's a 12/24 core, 3 GHz-ish, 64 GB machine, lots of monitors. It's really pretty quick and there's certainly nothing wrong with it.
Apple, however, has made the next version of the OS unavailable to it, which in turn will make it slowly become incompatible with new software, etc.
Yeah, and it is a completely fake limitation too. You can completely work around it by updating the bios, then the newest macOS versions will install just fine. Well it least for my 2009 Mac Pro at work it was easy and very safe bet as 2010 Mac Pros has been made with the exact same hardware inside, that were still supported.
Yeah, it is too bad strong typedefs haven't been introduced yet. I hear it is back on the table again for C++20.
Strong typedef would let you create a new int type that wouldn't implicitly convert to int or other strongly typed typedef of int. That way we could strongly typed units of measure and other cool things.
The answer is obvious that for identical code strong typing will reduce bugs. And yet does typing force people to write in ways that lead creating bugs?
More importantly why isn't there some gray scale on typing that I could slowly turn on as my program design matures?
-Wall -Wall -Werror -Wall -Werror -Wextra
Also when writing in C++ mark sloppy convenience functions and constructors as deprecated so the scale above will complain and force you to fix them when the program matures.
To sell it to Rachel from Cardholder Services, I expect.
What organizations have 2FA that might do this? I'm not saying there aren't any, but I can't think of any.
I was talking more about "free" services than corporate authentication. There are many of them that would like you to give them your phonenumber, it used to be for password recovery, but now they claim it is for extra security. Steam pesters me all the time, I tried installing the mobile app to see if that was enough, but no, they want my phonenumber, even though it is less secure than my email, I can only imagine it is for selling on.

It cant. There are reasons passwords fields don't popup like that in other operating systems without also doing something only the operating system can. The problem here is the lack of any indicators that this is trusted.
GM can't do it.
Neither can Tesla. They are indeed full of crap. But of course they aren't actually making level5 cars like they pretend. They are trying to make level3 AI
It's unfortunate for Apple, because it means that only the duller customers will continue to trust Apple's judgment.
And thus the perception of anyone using Apple products is "Oh, an Apple user. Here, take my handicapped parking spot, you poor thing."
Would you like a list of all the 2, 3 and 4-digit Slashdot UID owners are also rocking Apple computers and other devices?
Both of them?
Without Linux drivers? Hah...

In other words, this is a case of terrorism.
I don't think that is the word we normally use when the russians are doing it.
What is the word: Business as usual?

Buy the 8, SE, 7 or 6S (or Droid) and vote with your wallet against this half arsed system AND save a bundle in the process.
To vote with your wallet, you need to buy from another party. Otherwise they think you just arent rich enough and will want it when it gets cheaper.
"Right to Work" is not some blanket designation for "bad workplace policies that I want government to abolish".
Here I thought it stood for legalisation of serfdom, just like these contracts.
Don't confuse living with enduring.
I don't. I like my life. And I hate spending so much of it unconscious.
If you are ever unconscious for any amount of time, you need to see a doctor. That is NOT normal and is a sign of serious illness.
The only way it is illegitimate is because the Spanish government has said they won't abide by it, but it can still be a legitimate referendum for the self-rule and in the eyes of the world.
Cats most definitely self reflect.
If you had lived with cats for a long time, you knew that.
They are not smart enough to recognize themselves in a mirror, and often not smart enough to recognize their own tail as their own.
And you can prove this assertion, I assume?
Prove a negative?
Back to logic school!

Trying to suppress people's freedom is the surest way of pissing them off. How many went from pro-union to pro-independence due to this nonsense?
Are cats conscious?
No, not the meaning of conscious we are using here.
They are not unconscious however, so it depends on the definition, but they do not have the abstract processing required for self-reflection.
It is just an excuse to harvest your phonenumber.
For what purpose?
To sell it to Rachel from Cardholder Services, I expect.
