the Electroneum app appears to be unaffected, even-though it allows "mobile mining" for ETN coins.
I mined 100 of those ETN for 1 night with a 1080TI, and with my phone I couldn't even mine 1 for a few days, so I don't know if it is even worth it to waste battery and hinder the phone's performance with such an activity as "mobile mining".
Thus the quote marks.
There is a Bulgarian startup that offers users the ability to use only the EMV chip and bypass the magnetic strip.
I have officially aksed all banks on their opinion of this product, and received emails from maybe 1 or 2 banks only, that were sketchy.
My main question was if my card has both an EMV chip and a magnetic stripe - if i block the stripe with SkimProt does this invalidate my card in some way, could it cause issues with ATMs etc.
Nobody bothered to answer me, so i simply went and got a card with ONLY an EMV chip and no mag stripe.
But you have to ask for it.
In the USA most retailers cant yet read EMVs though, kinda backwards.
does "swatting" exists only in the USA?
and how can this be even possible?...dispatch a trigger happy swat team to some1s house based off a phone call in 2017?
really though...
maybe if 90% ot Americans did not own 5+ guns....
In the early years i was online (1996 - 2000 ) most web based email providers offered 25 MB of storage.
Then google came and offered 2 GB with Gmail, which for me was the biggest leap i had seen.
I mean companies used to charge for a 100MB plan.
This has come at a privacy cost/penalty, though.
Usually smaller companies tend to have my support, but in this case it appears that those brothers used a blatant loophole to steal a chunk off somebody's image, and they don't even sell those polos.
the subway token system can get EASILY hacked -i.e. you pay for 5 rides and they never "expire".
This is all documented in a public website by a programmer dude who discovered it. Nobody did anything it has been like that for years, apparently.
I suspect people could be even selling fake prepaid tickets etc.
It's just Bulgaria in general country is so corrupt on all levels, that a scam of such magnitude is not threaded as something serious lmao
Millions of EU funded money get laundered and stolen into corrupt politicians's own pockets.
In Bulgaria the average salary is 400 euro, but you see Brabus and AMG Mercedes S 600 and Bentleys and Panameras everywhere all day...
However the TOS included a Herold clause that allowed the company to claim the first born child or the beloved pet of the users who agreed.
One of the terms stipulated that the user must give up their firstborn child or most beloved pet in exchange for WiFi use. In the short time the T&C page was active, six people agreed to the outlandish clause. Link
The copy protection watermarks usually are developed and instituted either by the companies responsible for the film (like Kodak for instance) or the prints (Deluxe, Technicolor).
Each vendor has a different method, some more effective than others.
Philips apparently has been doing some work in this field as they have a relatively newer pirate leak tracking system called “Cinefence”. CineFence watermarks are believed to be harder to erase by pirates, and contain the time, place and date of the recorded movie.
Interestingly enough the Digital Cinema System Specification requires some sort of watermarking in their
processes.
An Apple II clone with a tape drive - it was called Pravets 82 (8c) also known as Pravetz 82 (IMKO-2)
It has a BASIC interpreter, RAM/ROM - 48/12 KB; CPU Synertek 6502/1 MHz.
The ROM and schematics were practically not changed and were identical to Apple 2's. A lot of the chips used were in fact Bulgarian and Soviet substitutes (clones) of the original chips, perhaps reverse engineered.
I hate it when i find an article that lists "10 cool netflix titles for your sunday night" and then i find only 2 of them in the EU version of Netflix.
What's up wit that? I use only 1 TV and i pay premium for 4 accounts (3 of which i don't use), and i still recieve a crappier service than if I was in the states.
I do however have super fast internet when compared to the US of A and local torrent sites like zamundanet and arenabgcom and global DHT seeding usually have literally ANY movie inside, even the stuff that is in the theaters nowadays (with Korean embedded subs though) - but i am too lazy to torrent after "entering the netflix and amazon prime era", even-though i have PLEX I kind of prefer to be a part of the paid eco system and not be a "pirate".
So i would gladly pay premium for a beter service and to be able to find more movies but i am forced to search in external sites because netflix in Europe is different than the real US Netflix and the price is the same
a fellow admin once wiped a live prod box serving lots of customers - but it was load balanced and we managed to rsync it from the other host
but i still remember his face
I second this opinion above me, this comparison about cumulative sales between two companies which core businesses are super different is a bit irrelevant imo

I bought a MSI Geforce GTX 1080Ti Gaming X (Twin Frozr VI edition) and the price (€880) has not moved down since last June, when I got it.

haha, thank you, this "frat boy" comment made me chuckle

Well now that they have revealed those numbers, the class action lawsuit lawyers have a concrete goal for the settlement sums, lmao.
3 big hacks in a month, seems legit.
i wonder what the US govt thinks of DR.Web - less known Russian based AV vendor

i work with Sberbank and their security is very good. In my opinion it is stronger than a brass monkey's testicles.

this is loosely valid in the company i work for as well (one of the bigger credit score companies, with 18 000+ employees)
i was wondering why does the article even mention the term "Engineers" tbh
...but is is the (US) reality..
