not entirely sure if that was a question because it is formed like a statement, but, yes.

true, the ammount of data, energy, attention and time safed by adblockers cannot be understated

came with the house

it's inferior to our old one, which was from the 90s and still worked, in other aspects too, most annoyingly cleaning performance. i guess it uses less water thou

if i can try all the combinations i have indeed bypassed the need to know the correct one

i'd say that the amount of ppl that have this "delete data after 10 failures" feature enabled is vanishingly small, hence every passcode can be bruteforced

not entirely sure what you are saying?

meanwhile our new dishwasher takes between two and four SECONDS from pressing the power button to showing something on the display

> it feels like a digital feudal system

it surely does.

and quite an interesting take on the declaration of independence of cyberspace.

"bypassing" the screenlock is a selling point on the product page, thou

true, imessage and facetime have a long history of indecency and it's somewhat unfounded to assume they're safe now.

cloud backups are also very problematic because they contain a lot of sensitive information and are not safely encrypted.

i rekon that if the case is big enough, the'll get access to the cloud backups. the UFED product page states that it can bypass device locks, this sounds like physical access and would only require the device to be confiscated.

> The last info we had is that even the FBI had trouble getting into a locked 4S and the protection has improved significantly.

iirc the feds complained bc they wanted apple to give them access for free and not have to use/buy 3rd party tools

seems like you agree that the extra flags make sense

> the idea of embedding Excel sheets inside Photoshop drawings, ...

that's still a thing isn't it?

somewhat different

autossh is basically a wrapper script to keep a session established by reconnecting

same here

screen knowledge is still valuable as it is more commonly installed

not unlike star signs

> and also, don't host your backup server with the same host

cheap way to get some resiliancy is to host a hot-spare/replika at another provider/isp and failover at the dns level with an alternative record

i guess it depends on the value of the data whether this tradeoff is worth it.

was the data at google recovered or did they abandon the plan and consider it lost?

> they can't tell you how much you'll be paying before signing up

seems unreasonable for a consumer facing product, how did it come to that?

we are experimenting with ways to have an inclusive global conversation.

there will be many more failures

try mss clamping

not unlike "zapping" tv channels

yea, i also don't think that the increased rate is a problem per se, but i also doubt that a majority of youtube views cover the entire length of the video, hence downloaders do probably use more data.

maybe helpful

afaik swedes did the lockdown more or less voluntarily.

dunno how much that is true or played into it thou

locking everything down is impossible because ppl would start to starve within a week or so. specialisation and compartmentalisation of labor has a price

yes, they are, but it seems a good fit nonetheless

yea. i was also advocating against local resolvers in the name of robustness, until my isp was starting to block certain domains.

not really the fact that some domains i don't care much about are blocked, but this is a dangerous precedent in deviation from facts.

true but mostly irrelevant as there rarely is any load to speak of.

if you need a heavy duty machine, use it, but most of the time you don't, that's the point.

(for comparison; skylake laptop uses about 20W under max load, my 12-gen desktop uses 40W while idle)
