Anatsa uses advanced techniques to avoid >detection and gain access to banking >information.

Anyone who knows what those advanced techniques are?

mundane ,

There is probably licensed code in there somewhere. Which means open sourcing it is really cumbersome. It would probably cost more money to open source it than to do the refund.

It's so weird that Google migrated to the pile of dung that is RCS instead of just fostering any of their existing chat protocols. Google Talk was working great 15 years ago...

mrw when

What?

mundane ,

All game shows have made up rules. 😋

mundane ,

Hopefully they have a usable amount of RAM.

The initial use case of Facebook was great. It let me keep in touch with old friends. But as soon as they diverged from just showing my friends posts in chronological order, I removed my account.

mundane ,

Unless you live and travel within the EU. Then you can use your phone as much as you want and know that you won't get a higher bill than usual.

mundane ,

Never thought of that. Scary though.

mundane ,

Exactly, it's just an estimate.

mundane ,

I couldn't agree more. I hate that some open source projects are using discord for communicating.

mundane ,

I wonder if I can trick my father into replacing Facebook with this.

mundane ,

Try Rdx, it's great for read access to Reddit.

More info in the GitHub repo.

mundane ,

This is an f-droid problem. If they use the same package name, they need to use the same signature. That has been the case since long before f-droid existed.

They could just build apks with alternate package names and this wouldn't be an issue.

mundane ,

Mismatched signatures have been discouraged since day one of Android. A mismatched signature is a sign that some one other than the original publisher built this package, and the user needs to be aware that it might be malicious.

That F-Droid went with this setup with mismatched signatures was always going to make their apks look suspicious.

mundane ,

It's a problem of trust. Differing signature is an indication of third party tampering. People shouldn't start to see difference in signatures as an ordinary occurrence. It should be an high alert event.

mundane ,

The package name is the unique id. If you want to distribute multiple variants (like two versions with differing signatures) they should not have the same identifier. If they are not the same the id/package name should not be the same.

Having different package names would also prevent the Google play store from trying to update it.

mundane ,

That is crazy. He really did seem knowledgeable, and apart from the upload of a sensitive image, he really did what he could.

mundane ,

Could you use a data only USB cable and only charge when needed?

mundane ,

Have you met any non-technical people?

mundane ,

I managed to convince one long distance friend a few years ago. So now I need to keep Signal just to be able to communicate with him.

mundane ,

I use and like Castbox for podcasts. It's great, though they have become slightly more aggressive with ads lately.

mundane ,

the researchers claim the petabit discs can last 50 to 100 years.

mundane ,

How do you emulate reading from a physical medium?

mundane ,

A lot of companies have existing contracts with Microsoft regarding data management, but those contracts are probably not relevant to an "almost branch of Microsoft".

"While indiscriminate backdoors might be cheaper for the State than alternative investigative measures, they were expensive for society at large on account of the security risks they produced," EISI told the ECHR.

It's great when someone with some sway actually gets it.

Disney+ has started cracking down on password sharing in the US (www.engadget.com)

Disney+ started getting strict about password sharing in Canada last year, and now it's expanding the restriction to the US. According to The Verge, the streaming service has been sending out emails to its subscribers in the country, notifying them about a change in its terms of service. Its service agreement now states that...

The STAR section has some good things.

What in the actual fuck

"Compatible" with Microsoft Office, just don't expect for your colleagues to be able to open the document in Microsoft Office after you edited it in LibreOffice.

Edit: Don't expect your colleagues to be able to open it without the layout being broken.

mundane ,

"Can open" and 'can open without the layout being broken" are different things.

mundane ,

Yes, It turns the home screen to a grid of app icons and nothing more.

mundane ,

Advertisements in dreams.

I don't recognize these pain points. I always use the self checkout and it's usually quick and painless. My experience is.

Edit: seems I made the assumption that everyone uses wireless scanner handles.

  1. When we enter the store we scan the ID to get a wireless scanner handle.
  2. Collect your wares, scan with the handle, placing them directly into the bags along the way.
  3. Put the handle back and blip your membership id (card or qr code on phone) again to start the checkout.
  4. Blip your payment card.
  5. Walk out

Every once in a while I get caught in a random check, which is kind of a pain, but it's so infrequent that it is acceptable.

Is this not how it usually works?

mundane ,

Exactly, a membership id to checkout the wireless scanner that you have with you in the store.

mundane ,

This sounds like a terrible user experience. Is this a case of "we have implemented a terrible self checkout system and now no one likes to use it"?

mundane ,

I live in Sweden. The system in the Netherlands sounds similar to what we have. There are also wireless scanners you can use throughout the store if you don't want to use your phone.

mundane ,

No, we (most supermarkets in Sweden) get a wireless scanner handle that we have with us in the store. So we scan each item when we take it from the shelf and put it in the bag/cart. When we get to the self checkout we just put the handle back and pay.

mundane ,

I forgot to mention the wireless scanner in my op, but that is part of the steps I listed.

mundane ,

You pay to get your car serviced but with your phone you don't even have that option. When the manufacturer drops support, you don't even have the option to pay for prolonged software support.
