  12. Re:Evidence? Who needs evidence? on Kaspersky Halts Europol Partnership After Controversial EU Parliament Vote (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    They didn't call them a "malware manufacturer." US authorities claimed Kaspersky allowed FSB agents to use its software as a search engine of users' PCs and look for sensitive files. That's how an NSA leak happened, claimed the US. Kaspersky said the leak happened because the NSA agent took nation-state cyber-weapons home, which its software detected and uploaded to its servers for analysis. They also say the agent's computer had several malware infections, and other malware operations could have stolen the files and passed them to Russian intelligence. It's a he says she says mess.

  16. Because original Meltdown and Spectre mitigations already cover this one as well. This is a secondary layer of protection that comes with a performance impact. That's why.

    No they won't come to grip with it. Political dissent has been happening since the Bronze Age. If people could get along, we wouldn't have had so many stupid (civil) wars by now.

  23. Misleading headline on Mozilla Removes Individual Cookie Management in Firefox 60 (ghacks.net) · · Score: 5, Informative

    The option is still there. You just have to press the "Settings" button in the Cookies section. Weird choice of words, I'll admit that. Some Mozilla UI designer needs to get in trouble, that's for damn sure.

  24. Everything on The Car of the Future Will Sell Your Data (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Everything in the future will sell your data. All companies are already looking at user data as cash cows. Chuck in a few lines in the ToS and you're good to go selling customers' data.

    Isn't this knowledge/research kinda old? I remember hearing about this in the 90s. That's one of the reasons I never had more than 2-3 Macs in my entire life.
