Warp__on Putting Apple’s iMac Pro Through the Paces

The XPS 15/13 is viable competition imho.

Have fun! They are really nice tbh.

I have had 0 issues with it except some Audio stuttering due to DPS Latency issues.

I'm getting a replacement (Model Up actually, Dell did a 12% off offer) so we'll see how it is. I look forward to UHD Touch & Fingerprint Reader.

Warp__on Ryzen is for Programmers

Interesting.

I have a 1700X/16GB/SSD build and a Dell XPS 15 9560, both of which are very fast, but the Ryzen just flies!

Warp__on Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

No, but I'd like one :D

Warp__on Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

It's Amazing. Battlefield 1 on Ultra/Headphones/3440x1440 at 60fps is Incredibly Immersive.

Warp__on Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

Personally, I play at 3440x1440. I want 0 bottlenecks and more power than I need, so a 1080Ti is perfect for me. Especially as in the UK I can get it for ~£30 more than I paid for the 1080.

Warp__on uBlock Origin for Microsoft Edge

I simply don't understand how some people people (Such as you) are having so many issues. I'm not denying you have, but I've upgraded upwards of 10 PCs with hardware all the Way from Summer 2016 to Early 2008/2007, and except on the truly geriatric ex-XP hardware, I've had barely any issues. One Acer Laptop has a crashy sound driver, but apart from that...

Very Cool. Thank you. Will sign up :)

Warp__on The Distribution of Users’ Computer Skills: Worse Than You Think

However, in the future he may want to install/create mods for Minecraft, which would start him on the path for further skills.

Warp__on The Last Diplomat

I use Blendle, personally find it really good.

Thank you for this.

Warp__on ‘Diamond-age’ of power generation as nuclear batteries developed

Ah, 8 of them.

I bet that made it some much more secure! /s

Warp__on ‘Diamond-age’ of power generation as nuclear batteries developed

I think he means the 000000 that the USAF set the password to for launching the LGM-30 Minuteman ICBM. For expediency, apparently.

Warp__on Show HN: Storing your bookmarks under revision control

Looks very interesting. Just IMHO, a little bit of CSS setting a max page width and a sans-serif font would be worth it.

They already are communicating, on huge services like Twitter, that are constantly monitored. ISIS & JaN Surrogate accounts, as well as Assad Regime Loyalists (Which for some, count as Terrorists) freely use online services under the radar.

The time to stop encryption is gone. TOR & Signal have seen to that.

Warp__on How can I protect myself from government snoopers?

The _legality_ isn't clear. The technical methodology is quite clear.

Warp__on How can I protect myself from government snoopers?

I don't know.

I imagine that MITM on a large scale is par for the course for GCHQ.

Warp__on How can I protect myself from government snoopers?

http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/143387/is-there-...

That's pretty clear. It does depend of what level/technology is used in the Encryption, but broadly, against nation state actors with full virtual and physical hardware access, you are to put it bluntly, stuffed.

Warp__on How can I protect myself from government snoopers?

Gov't can easily MITM HTTPS connections.

Copy of a Comment Elsewhere:

I don't have anything to hide- but a malicious attacker could easily cause me to.

Step One: Maliciously cause the target to click on a link or open a url (Phishing, Exploit, RFE, XSS etc)

Step Two: With JS, one can easy introduce HTTP connections to any number of websites, such as maybe the Talibans official website (They have one!), Google Searches for (to think of a few) "Gaziantep Places to Stay", "Turkey Flights", "Opposition to the Kuffar at home", "Dabiq Magazine", "how to join the Khalifah" etc

This could easily be done in a realisic appearing manner, especially to ISP/GCHQ filters and alerts.

Step Three: If any of this tallies with any physical activity (Let's say the target wanted to go Clay Pigeon Shooting, or Visited a Gun Club because he has in interest in .22 target shooting), then they have a case.

Sure, it's defendable, and this is a really simplistic example. But it's basically ruined the target's life.

Remember, it's probably not the "Government" doing this, as this info will be leaked.

Yes, I have no idea how an Ambulance Service Middle Management (For Example) needs to know my information.

Copy of my comment on other thread:

I would urge everyone who can to sign the petition against it.

This, in my mind is a problem, not because of the obvious costs (ISPs storing _literally all_ metadata for a year), and the insidous privacy concerns, but how bad Govts are at keeping information secure. Below are 3 recent and well known examples of Government Mass Data leaks- this information will be compromised at some point, for profit or espionage.

IMHO, trotting out "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" BS doesn't mean that at some point, that data will be misused, even if the UK (My) Government doesn't suddenly turn dictatorial.

I'm not so sure that many portions of this law will stand up to legal scrutiny.

Thanks a lot, this service looks really useful.

Would it be possible to offer a LAMP install for two hours?

Warp__on The XSS Game by Google

Firefox breaks lv 3. See my comment below if you'd like to get past that stage.

Warp__on The XSS Game by Google

Here's a way to by bypass that- point the FF dev tools soley at the iframe, then use the scratchpad to run the alert. It will accept that and let you move past.

I spent 20 minutes thinking I had something horribly wrong until I read this comment.

(This works in FF 52.0a2)
