That was an iPhone, not a hard drive. While cloning flash memory isn't impossible, doing so on a mobile device would be more difficult than on most computer hard drives.
On these drives, are they completely encrypted preventing mounting or is it just the file contents? If it's the former, then one should be able to see the last time a file was changed. If it's a few days before the seizure, I'd call BS. If the last access/modification was a fair time ago then it becomes more reasonable to assume the "I forgot" defence is truthful
A lot of employers I've been in don't need a "backdoor", because their access-controls and account-management are so effing terrible there's almost always remnants of old accounts.
I had an old-old employer of mine for whom some of their sites were still emailing for years after employment with "hey, we miss you, please come back." I've never bothered to see if I still have admin-level access, but I wouldn't be surprised?
How can this be, you ask? Well they wanted us to use usernames and email addresses that weren't part of the company to hide when we were acquiring various assets so that the users didn't revolt (hey, how come there's all these new admins with @company.com addresses). Hence it wasn't obvious to either the users OR the admins who was a corporate user or not.
I haven't seen an email about that in a year or two now, but that's also possibly because I blocked most of them or marked them as spam.
It's good to see a broad selection of cores/threads and clock coming out, but what I'd be really interested in knowing what the actual wattage/TDP of this processors is supposed to be.
I've had a mini-ITX box running with an A10 and a slotted GPU which can pretty much hold its own for any games etc, but I would like to get something a bit more powerful or more cores. Normally you're not going to be able to run a really high-wattage CPU on a mini-ITX board, and even if you could the tight spaces tend towards overheating. It would be nice if the 6-core CPU's can balance out with a reasonable wattage, and even nicer would be if they come out with some E-Series CPU's (great Performance Per Watt on those) under the Ryzen platform
It doesn't help that the non-free services became so degraded that they weren't worth paying for.
ISP email: Full of SPAM, crappy low limits, and - guess what - they're likely spying on your too! All those "free" sites that survived on ads etc. Yeah they even went to selling your information or dropping you with spyware/malware, etc, or they're gone completely.
It's not that people don't care, it's that there isn't much in the way of alternatives. Hell, the US Gov is happily changing laws so that your mobile carrier or ISP can slurp and sell data from the services you're paying quite a bit for.
It's not the data that I supply on the site that bothers me, I tend to watch that I'm not posting anything that I value as secret. It's the other data they're collecting through little 1px GIF's, like buttons, or other people's posts that has me the most concerned. Where's the ToS on that?
In the GPU arena, AMD has been pretty active in contributing the the GPU drivers, to the point newer cards can game nicely Linux systems with the in-kernel drivers.
Perhaps a similar thought-pattern will apply to other products.
It's always a funny thing that way, but an explanation could also be that people where SS relationships aren't criticised so much are happily engaging with partners instead of looking at others doing so online. Meanwhile, in places like the Bible Belt they'd have to be more careful about relationships and/or being outed, so instead view more pr0n.
As a long-term AMD user, I was blown away when a system was "upgraded" from a dual-core to quad-core chip started behaving even worse with VM's, which led me to discover that the Quad-core chip didn't support VT.
Looking into it more, I discovered that Intel does this a *lot*, with sprinkles of support for this and that across a huge range of chipsets. With AMD, I haven't found a chip without AMD-V/VT-x in forever.
Now this was a bit of an older CPU for sure, but it seems that even newer Intel CPU's one has to be very careful that options like VT-D and others aren't neutered out.
It's not what he's using the phone for, it's what OTHER people could use the device for, especially since this phone (at least the last model I heard of him having) is a bit older with known vulnerabilities, including ones which could be used to turn it into an espionage/snooping/tracking device.
There's no real safety concern with people texting while stopped at a stoplight.
Really? Because when I went to driver training, one of the things they tell you is to watch your mirrors for what's going on around you. That way if there's a car coming up from behind you might be able to get out of the way. It also ensures you're aware if some kid chases a ball past your front bumper.
Be realistic. Most people who are texting on the damn phone are oblivious. They either glance up and see the light has changed, or do so when they get honked at, then gun it through the intersection without ensuring that it's safe to do so. There are real (and intelligent) reasons NOT to allow texting even when stopped at a light. If you need to text, pull the f*** off the road.
Yeah, around here I believe they've cranked the fine up to around $500 (from around ~$200). However the problem is there are so many people texting+driving whereas enforcement seems like almost a drop in the bucket...
But reserve the right to sue the begeezus out of anyone that quits and tried to implement them elsewhere (either on their own or by joining another company).
1533sqft townhouse, not too bad size-wise. Try finding something that size for a similar price in Vancouver, Canada these days. They have tear-downs going for an easy million.
In terms of "melted down for parts" they probably aren't worth much, but how about the actual capacitors etc when removed and re-used. Old CRT's had some badass (and deadly) capacitors. I've been tempted to see about harvesting them for other purposes, except the badass part means that even years after the last use they can zap you but good.
Slashdot Mirror
What "player" is this?
Would this work for an ARM version of Firefox (e.g. so it could be run on a Raspberry Pi) ?
I remember it working but needing some weird patch of config change on Win95.
On Win98 it worked without any special hacking needed.
first thing I thought was someone figured out how to weaponize certain laptops
My guess would be Samsung. They already figured it out for the Note series of smartphones.
That was an iPhone, not a hard drive. While cloning flash memory isn't impossible, doing so on a mobile device would be more difficult than on most computer hard drives.
And that's why clones of the media are made before any unlock attempt is made...
Self-incrimination issues aside:

Silicon Valley is just the canary. This is more than a Silicon Valley issue, and frankly more than a USA issue too.
Have a look at what's happening in Canadian banks recently.
OK. I see that it is actually listing them as 65W and 95W CPU's. My bad for searching for the term "watt" and "tdp" instead of a specific number.

I had something similar but it was basically a contract job. I got paid for the contract work and then it became a full time position afterwards.
Even their DNA confirms they are related.
Might also have something to do with Japan invading Korea, raping a bunch of Korean women and keeping sex slaves etc.
But I'm not sure what DNA has to do with language in this case...?

Here they were initially $25, then went up to $35 (not higher). They haven't gone back down to $25 thus far.
I also can't seem to do anything without being bombarded with "Have you tried Prime" messages constantly.
