> The bureau said that end-to-end encryption and Apple's Advanced Data Protection make it harder for them to do their work and that they request "lawful access by design."

Isn't "lawful access by design" another way to say "government backdoor to be abused whenever we want"?

I want to add this to my list of fuzzing words for text fields but... will this breach GDPR?

I have been reading about this for ages but they never seem to come into reality. At least I don't know where to go and get this done.

Anyone has experience with these?

At that cost, seems like the only way to win is not to play? Unless you build your service from the ground up as a paying service, you are doomed to fail at some point.

This one hits home!

Many moons ago (like... 12*6=72 moons, aprox.) I got my hands in one of these kits: https://chrismcveigh.com/lego_kit_guides_2018/my_first_compu...

[Note: I might have got v2 or v3, I guess]

I have all the stuff (screen, small pi-like board, cables and so on) to try and convert it into a small, functioning, Macintosh 128K. Now, where did I left the free time...? Can't seem to find it now.

> We never thought our startup would be threatened by the unreliability of a company like Microsoft

You will be threatened by your own unreliability of building something that's dependant on one region or one cloud.

I don't know, maybe I am just an optimistic (or a fool), but for all the bad that COVID-19 has caused, we should also remember it for the goods it left and the benefits we will see in the future.

Actually, from the article:

> Experiments showed that not to be the case. Instead, trials with healthy human subjects showed that the difference was due to the amount of gas in a given fecal sample.

This has igNobel written all over itself.

Call me naive but I was hoping research in this area will be faster/more frequent, given also the Cop27.

I might be an outlier, but I cannot wait for Windows ARM to become mainstream.

Not a surprise, given how he has handled some of his other companies. But sort of out of real-world pulse... also not a surprise.

Grammarly and Hola VPN are the two browser extensions that any IT Admin should be ban straight away in corporate machines.

> Did we consent to this?

I did. I guess the author didn't read the T&Cs.

Tin foil hat comment: Can a magnet be "tampered" so it will break at the most inconvenient moment?

No relevant user...surname?

At least GitHub is working so we can complain about it.

But in a more serious now, it seems like it is more than just that, their website is also not working properly.

It is true for all wars, but the (hopefully not) upcoming WW3 will be "man made" and long time coming with the climate change, energy wars and, overall, stupidity on focusing in short-term profit over long-term wellbeing.

And that's a good thing!

Sadly some countries (Bulgaria, for example) are still running heavily on Facebook for all businesses that do not want to invest into a proper website.

Maybe there's an opportunity for a new company to take over those?

That's a very misogynist quote that doesn't belong in HN, in my humble opinion.

He really is full of himself, isn't he?

This is amazing! We all know, here, how much of a problem this is, but this idea seems to solve the problem of "how do I explain this to my parents/grandparents?"
