The incident, he added, amounted to “piracy”.
That exact word came to mind when reading about the incident.
And there is international law on piracy:
there is universal jurisdiction over piracy on the high seas. Pirates are denied protection of the flag state and all states have the right to seize a pirate ship on the high seas and to prosecute in national courts.[
They were years ahead of the curve with AI hardware, and they’re well placed to benefit from the AI craze.
Regardless of whether a company’s AI product is useful, or profitable, they need lot of hardware to make it run.
Frontex and coast guards in general need oversight. Things can happen out of sight, at sea, there’s a great risk for this kind of behaviour.
Not having the right to work doesn’t necessarily mean asylum seeker won’t work. I suspect it make them more likely to accept undeclared odd jobs. In which case they wouldn’t work less, but would pay no taxes, and have worse working conditions.
This is a common issue in software, not limited to scripting. Software are getting more and more layers of wrappers/adapter code, like a Russian doll. It contributes to dependency hell, as each layer brings new dependencies.
Developers often find it easier to wrap existing apps and software, and add another layer on top, rather than improving or replacing what exists.
Not surprising. If there’s a way for a non-admin user to use this, it means there’s probably a way for a non-admin process to access the data.
Even if if were more secure, there’s probably plenty of ways for attackers to escalate privileges to admin.
The bigger issue is Microsoft providing an official tool for snooping on user activity. Malware won’t have to install their own, and recall taking screenshots periodically won’t be considered anomalous behaviour since it’s an official Microsoft service.
No toothbrush will last a lifetime, so maybe don’t put $320 in it
It sounds like this is completely clickbait article, bordering on misinformation.
That’s the solution I picked at work. Refused to install that Microsoft software on my personal phone, but instead provided a phone number.
If you have a VoIP provider you could even try to the VoIP number for MFA instead of providing your real mobile number.
If IT make a comment about you not having the app, ask if they intend to provide a company device for that.
If the company cared, they would provide MFA hardware like Yubikeys to their employees.
124 countries isn’t nothing. The list include countries from all continents, many Europeans and African countries, Australia, Canada, Mexico, … . Being under an arrest warrant which applies in all 124 countries would be a major pain, even if USA & China & Russia are missing from that list.
Ahah, I just told myself: cannot wait for Adam Something to debunk this
Ghostery, Disconnect, Privacy Badger, etc
- Redundant with Total Cookie Protection (dFPI)
Privacy Badger does more than dFPI. dFPI just isolate cookies. Privacy Badger blocks cookies. And completely block connection to some hosts that are dedicated to tracking, which prevent other forms of tracking that aren’t cookie-based.
In that blog post, google does not commit to open sourcing these play services features, to integrate in future system upgrade.
I would love to be proven wrong.
Many of these are Google Play Services features, so it won’t be available to users open-source Android flavors that are google-free.
There are 42 RIPE Atlas probes online in Hong Kong.
Someone part of the Atlas network could check this against various probes.
They had a choice between complying to censorship, or refusing to play along and if necessary stop doing business in Hong Kong.
In the past, Google Search got out of China for the same reason.
I wonder if that’d work, or if the Great Firewall of China already blocks it in Hong Kong
That sounds a bit contradictory but there’s an important details. Part of the accusation seems to be about picking winners, ie giving subsidies to specific companies rather than the sector as a whole.
If that’s true then a tweak to subsidies might technically solve the issue without changing the EU-China competition balance.
IMHO the EU should focus on carbon border tax, and on doing it quickly and efficiently. The idea is taxing import from countries that don’t tax pollution, or at least less than the EU does, to make competing companies subject to similar emissions tax/regulation.
