… It was incredibly sobering that a case about our privacy was being conducted both in private and in secret. So we’re pleased to see a course change here. That said, the battle is not yet won. The arguments to break encryption do not just relate to this specific case and we are having to constantly make the case for why encryption is vital in our democracy; nor does this judgment stipulate that the case will be held fully in the open moving forward – as it should be – only that we can know the “bare details”. We welcome this news but we continue to fight for full transparency here.

The legislation would force companies to store and provide law enforcement with access to their users’ communications, including those that are end-to-end encrypted.3 The consensus among cybersecurity experts is that complying with this requirement for end-to-end encrypted communications services will be impossible without forcing providers to create an encryption backdoor4 —akin to a master key that unlocks every door in a building.

Hopefully they don’t pass this devastating legislation. One has to wonder who this would be benefitting the most? I doubt law enforcement even cares that much. My guess is the same that is responsible for Brexit and destroying the US. Resist wile you can, or better yet get the things you care about enshrined in your constitution and advertised among your constituents. Don’t think it can’t happen to you next.

The LAP can issue loads to addresses that have never been accessed architecturally and transiently forward the values to younger instructions in an unprecedentedly large window," the researchers wrote. “We demonstrate that, despite their benefits to performance, LAPs open new attack surfaces that are exploitable in the real world by an adversary. That is, they allow broad out-of-bounds reads, disrupt control flow under speculation, disclose the ASLR slide, and even compromise the security of Safari.”

SLAP affects Apple CPUs starting with the M2/A15, which were the first to feature LAP. The researchers said that they suspect chips from other manufacturers also use LVP and LAP and may be vulnerable to similar attacks. They also said they don’t know if browsers such as Firefox are affected because they weren’t tested in the research.

The most economically illiterate speech she has ever hear so far.

Very long wind up to a fucking ad.

Unless it’s required to load the words, it’s probably JavaScript that is trying to prevent the user from selecting it, so disabling javascript would make it selectable because the thing blocking the select is disabled. If javascript is loading the words in, then blocking javascript will make it so the page doesn’t load. But they are typically separate scripts from whatever is blocking the select, so addons can selectively block scripts that are detected to block things like select or right-click, etc. If they obfuscate the javascript to where the word load and the blocking are combined, then another method will probably be the easiest to employ like one of the other options I noted above, or going to developer options and copying the text from the inspector.

Several options to get around that. (1) Install a browser extension that will disable whatever block the page has, (2) open developer tools on a desktop browser, delete whatever javascript is preventing it, (3) possibly print to pdf, someone else suggested screenshot + OCR, etc.

More spyware please!

Just make sure your custom domain registrar is using a different email from your custom domain or you might run into a support nightmare.

Run k3s on top and run your stateless services on a lightweight kubernetes, then you won’t care you have to reboot your hosts to apply updates?

Benefit of the doubt, maybe security thing. Fo you really want random apps to have access to that stuff? As long as they give a way to disable those permissions from any app, it’s definitely time 3rd party apps have access to it, but don’t think flipping the switch is the right approach. There needs to be security controls placed on the access and integration to the permissions framework, auditing etc. That’s why Apple just completely removed some features in EU instead of making them available - it’s a lot of work. Admittedly Apple has had a lot of time to work on this, and get it right, but it’s never just as easy as it would seem.

If you’re presented your Steam games from inside Xbox app, they will present asa game from the Xbox service.

Buying games from Steam is braindead simple, so not sure what you’re on about there. Can’t get much simpler than punch in billing and CC info once, add games to cart and checkout; subsequent purchases is even easier.

Isn’t that misleading the consumer? They will think the games are Xbox games and not Steam games. They will come to resent the 2nd launcher, aka Steam, and Microsoft’s EEE will be complete.

You’re on a 50 Gbps connection and you want more?

He’d finally get that Nobel Peace Prize he’s eyeing and I’d cheer it on.

Yea same here. I am actually looking forward to CS Legacy.

Same except I latched onto CZ and found a scouzknivez community. Then WoW happened. Then I got dragged onto CSS and ended up running a clan for a while. CSGO and 2 never had an appeal for me.

1.6 relies on community hosted servers, 2 relies primarily on centralized servers and queueing mechanism. There are changes to core maps. Changes to weapons. 2 very much has the features you would expect from a modern game. 1.6 is very bare bones, but highly customizable through addons; each server can install their own addons and make the user experience unique. Hopefully this 1.6 remake will keep the server customizability intact.
