I've never seen this. Just checked ZDNet's website and it didn't show anything about my ad blocker.

I block ads because they are such a distraction that I can't read, and because auctioning off arbitrary javascript to the highest bidder is just asking to be hacked. If ads were not animated, and had no external or obfuscated javascript, I might not block them.

But as is, I'd rather close the tab than enable ads.

It's not like there's a state border check for vehicle emissions. You can visit California in a non-California car without an emissions check. Joy's claim doesn't make sense even before fact checking.

It's for a household of 1, in Milwaukee. I could do it here if I cooked every meal and ate meat at most twice a week.

A person poor enough to qualify for this probably doesn't have time to shop properly and cook for every meal, and probably doesn't have a full kitchen.

SNAP pays out almost nothing already. You can't eat on $292 per month, especially if you're poor enough that you actually qualify for SNAP.

A vitamin is any essential dietary component, which is organic (otherwise it would be a mineral nutrient), and is not a fat, protein/amino acid, or carbohydrate (although carbohydrates are considered non-essential).

Vitamin D is conditionally essential. If you have enough sunlight, your body can synthesize it.

It's based in China, not Taiwan. (They are different countries, IMO.)

The /s at the end means he was being sarcastic.

But truthfully, there are some places (such as isolated bubbles on Facebook, I would expect) where people honestly believe that opposition to Israel is based on antisemitism, being unaware of the genocide.

Same here. The pizza ran out in the first 10 minutes, and many employees got nothing.

I tried signing up just now. I was not able to create an account due to Recaptcha. If you are able to fill out Google Recaptchas, it looks pretty easy to make an account.

Feudposting? What does that word mean?

This doesn't look like they hijacked the apps to spy on users' location. It looks to me like these apps were already illegitimately collecting location data and passing it to Gravy Analytics where it was sold to the highest bidder. If I'm interpreting this article correctly, the hackers only hijacked Gravy Analytics so they could get the location data without paying. The location data was already in the malicious hands of Gravy Analytics.

But it seems rather nebulous. Many of the app developers' quoted responses in the article seem to be blatant lies, which the article disproves. Many of the app developers deny handing over location data, but do run ads. If those ads execute arbitrary javascript, then IP geolocation is easy. I don't know how cookies/tracking would work for in-app ads, though.

The Logitech F310 (wired) and F710 (wireless) are ok. The F710 has a big 2xAA battery compartment which is uncomfortable for some.

Save your receipt, because Logitech's warranty is better than their construction. I destroyed my first F710's control pad on my second play of Crosscode, but they sent me a new one.

Do not use either one to operate a manned submarine.

The key has to be stored somewhere to be able to use it. This is full disk encryption, so every single sector that is read or written (except some boot and kernel stuff, presumably) needs to go through that encryption key. You could maybe store it in a cryptographic coprocessor that uses SRAM for the key and key schedule, but those are very uncommon now that AES-NI is popular. And I don't think AES-NI has any special registers that could help here.

I assume they think the Windows login password will keep them safe. I don't know. But many corporate computers (several I've been forced to use) do use Bitlocker without a password.

Yes, assuming it's durably sealed and tamper-proof. If you have enough physical access, though, you can remove the DRAM and put it in another machine to scrape it. This adds time, but it has been done before. One experiment dipped the DRAM in liquid nitrogen for an hour, and found 0.13% decay.

A "cold boot" attack. These have been around for a while.

The degredation is not a huge barrier. Spraying inverted canned air can cool the DRAM enough to preserve it for a little while, even long enough to switch it to a new motherboard. Whenever the motherboard is powered, the DRAM is being refreshed, so won't degrade. A few bits lost is no fatal flaw, since most cold boot attack algorithms search for long key schedules, not just the key.

Bitlocker is extra vulberable because it stores the key in the TPM and requires no password to boot. An attacker can extract the key even if the computer is off when they get it.

I love that these have borders around the buttons. I wish more interfaces would do that. It used to be standard.
