Browser based is fine, but I've been doing this with qBittorrent for years already. Download a file and set it to download in order, wait a few seconds and play the file as it gets written to disk.
Image the underlying flash, wire to wire. Boot the image on a new phone, cache writes to delta, attempt unlock till limit. Reboot state, clear delta, attempt next set of codes, get combo. 6 digit passcodes are the norm and useless against this attack. USB access be damned.
It's not the government. It's the "democratically" elected government. There was a huge public outcry, and they're doing something about it. It's not different than society deciding that murder is unacceptable.
How about you drop the blanket sarcasm shield and put some rationale behind your opinions?
If 30% of the population enable optional encryption, and 70% do not. That's 70% of potential "dumb" criminals to be caught. 30% is still enough to prevent targeted monitoring, privacy channels remain intact and effective, and more crimes get solved. Over time, the news will spread, and the majority of people will consciously choose to enable encryption on their devices.
Having an informed population helps the long-term fight for encryption.
As strange as it sounds, I would prefer encryption to be less accessible. He's complaining about the masses of legitimate search warrants (if you believe in legitimacy) where a kidnapped child could have been found, or a murder solved.
If encryption were not enabled by default, the idiot masses would be more likely to get caught.
Make encryption a settings switch to flip for people who are concerned about it, and you still have your privacy while catching a bunch of dumb criminals.

People can't work their entire shift full force without pause until their "legally-required break periods"? It's physically impossible for a prolonged period of time. Trust me, I've tried it.
Planned obsolescence has two sides. On the positive end you have new models every year (think cars post 1960). This gives consumers new technologies in bulk where a redesign of an existing framework would lead to stagnancy.
The second side involves reducing the quality of goods in order to ensure that consumers purchase new items upon failure. This is a serpentine construct designed to feed off of the captivated consumer. Same price for plastic vs steel in your microwave? Why use steel when plastic will break under load in 15% of manufactured products after 3 years? Extend the warranty to 2 years, the 1.5% which fail in that period will be balanced by the additions in sales.
This is extremely problematic in monopolist industries where choice is a valuable commodity. Government is rightful to constrain this business practice. This coming from a fiscal and regulatory conservative.
Repairability falls under intellectual property, and hence isn't constrained by the same fundamental principles. A company is rightfully entitled to ensure their product works as intended without modification. The alternative side to this argument arises when dealing with a lock down to ensure consumers cannot repair it themselves.
The "app garden" is a widely cited example of this, but imho, should not be. Intent is the primary consideration. Protecting consumers from malware while introducing competitive advantages as a result... this is the benefit of capitalism! There is a greater benefit than harm of profit funneling to one corporation.
When intending to change screws and adding custom solvent release adhesives to deter repair, this is purely harmful.
This isn't a black and white issue. You must look at the intent to see what is acceptable or not. It helps to frame the concept from a controlled monopolistic standpoint.
1. Looks like a brand that belongs in a Pac Sun store with a Jurassic Park dinosaur on the back.
2. Easy way to have everyone forget your logo immediately. So complex that it doesn't pop.
3. Napsterzilla
4. Creative, but symbols are easier to remember. The f in Facebook, the colorful G in Google, the windows for Microsoft..
5. Nintendo 64 is coming back strong
6. The colors are just mismatched, and it's an overused optical illusion
7. Good luck printing it in black and white.. or and just no..
Look at the list of effected companies. You'll notice that none of them are financial institutions which were still on an older version. Some people do their due diligence and audit the code, others can't afford to.
It's all completely arbitrary, but also a fact of life. You won't see any ".fuck" or ".nigger" extensions for a good reason. This is stretching the boundaries of offensiveness, but Google just doesn't want to deal with this bullshit while it's doing more important things.
Sometimes the PC course of action is the best one when it comes to saving time and money.
I don't think "you didn't write a law specifically against it" should stop them from getting fined.
Devil's advocate here:
The purpose of tax law is to collect a percentage based off earnings. Should funneling money around to reduce tax owed be illegal by your definition? You can prosecute people without laws in place. Everything would become arbitrary.
In my house my parents would always refer to our cars as "The Buick", or "The Honda" to differentiate between them if we needed to do something with one or the other. Years after the Buick ceased to exist, my dad called our Subaru "The Buick" by accident. It's not necessarily marketing so much as habit. These commentators have Surface tablets on set, but they probably don't own them or use them at home. More than likely they have iPads. There is nothing to see here.
It's a news reporting technique where they captivate more readers with something familiar.
An article that reads, "Owner saves labrador retriever from fire." Will draw not only the doglover crowd, but will get a bigger emotional impact from the lab owners for no extra effort.
In the case of the iPhone, it happens to have the largest userbase for the article to tap into.
Don't forget that environmental factors would render a full human rendering completely inaccurate. Do you go to the gym? Do you have long hair? Do you tan?
It can be close, but not perfect.
For the windows front there's CryptSync.
It encrypts files with 7zip so you can still grab them from other platforms. http://sourceforge.net/project...

The real question now is how this affects the offshoot MPC-BE.

And yet another bug in the slow-motion uber-expensive train-wreck that is the F-35 program.
I see a joke about surge pricing in there somewhere.

If they find the cause and find it's not harmful to humans, especially in cooked meat, what's does it matter?
Why not buy up one 10Gbps line and sell 50Mbps lines for $30/mo while making a nice profit?
