• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing The Internet: No Digital ID & No Age Verification | European Citizens' Initiative⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As a US American with a social security number: please give us them eIDs.

  I want a cryptographic key card that can be used to prove my identity in a way that’s jot vulnerable to replay attacks. I’m tired of my identity being stolen by someone who buys my data off the darknet, which is sufficient for someone to “prove” that they’re me and then take out a credit card in my name.

  Obviously this should be implemented with a way that’s good for privacy, but the current system of KYC photos is a fucking nightmare

  The US is not a democracy. Trump has very little support.

  Sounds like you have a bias. Most people aren’t like that, only 20-30%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh, no. There’s some small minority of companies that complain that regulations hurt businesses.

  But the vast majority of people want regulations.

  I’m her excited, personally. It’s the best case to establish a good precedent… Especially since the officer wiped it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activist charged with felony after giving border agent "duress code" that wiped his phone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s different here is that the officer wiped the device. It’s going to be interesting if they go to prison, and how much compensated will be paid to the victim

  When I was in Uni 10 years after you, we all got our textbooks from our peers on a Dropbox that just got passed down from student to student.

  Took me a few years to figure this out, and saved me a tooon of $$ by not having to buy textbooks.

  And I always preferred the digital version. So much faster to Ctrl+f or flip back between the appendix and the chapter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Parental controls are an excellent tool to teach kids how to bypass parental controls.

  I support this, so long as there’s no rules against kids learning how to bypass parental controls. It’s basically a CTF. All kids should learn how to mitigate internet censorship.

  Before I got a smartphone, I didn’t read books.

  Now I listen to maybe 6 books per year, and read the equivalent of probably >20 books per year from news articles and Wikipedia.

  I think a lot of companies use EDR to software disable USB ports. But I wouldn’t recommend it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This requires physical access. I don’t get it, why is this bad?

  Someone with physical access can already pull out the disk, clone it, and put in a different disk that boots to an identical looking login, but which actually relays the password back to the attacker.

  What more would this exploit allow an attcker with phsycal access thay wouldn’t already have before this exploit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta data center water discharges suspended after contaminating the city's reclamation water supply with bacterium⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mercury from fluorescent bulbs isn’t normal trash and can’t be cleaned. We’re talking about bacteria.

  Your analogy would be better if they were dumping CFCs or viruses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta data center water discharges suspended after contaminating the city's reclamation water supply with bacterium⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Goat Systems routed that flush water, which contained Cupriavidus gilardii, into Cheyenne’s sanitary sewer

  Wait, wut. So they didn’t dump it into the watershed. They sent it to the water treatment center.

  Isn’t the sanitary sewer’s job to clean black water? Like they already get water with poop in it (and all the bacterium that comes with literal feces). Why is this a problem?

  Curious how else they’re similar to Volkswagen. Do they also have slaves in Brazil?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wide-ranging 7-zip vulnerability with 8.8 CVE rating allows for code execution — hundreds of millions of machines potentially at risk⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That actually doesn’t seem to be so severe.

  How many people download some random archive and then, after extracting it, they double click on the files inside it?

  It says the risk of this vuln is arbitrary code execution of a maliciously crafted archive.

  After fixing this bug, most 7zip users will still be vulnerable to arbitrary code execution due to maliciously crafted archives.
