  • Given that JavaScript stands as one of the most prevalent vectors for infections, I am inclined to disagree.

  • Modern CPUs have sensors and monitoring circuits that constantly measure factors like temperature, power consumption, and workload intensity for each core. These measurements provide real-time data about the operating conditions and performance capabilities of individual cores.

    The shift in the 'preferred' core as the silicon ages is a relatively common occurrence. P-states enable the processor to maintain peak performance levels regardless of its ageing process.

    Be aware that the ageing process is quite gradual, and any discernible variances are unlikely to manifest over the regular lifespan of a standard processor.

  • Oh, it's quite evident that you've never had the joy of owning or managing a website. Your perspective is truly enlightening, showcasing your vast experience in the world of cybersecurity.

  • The situation is analogous to being at sea – if you don't respond to calls and signals, you are viewed as a potential threat. Altering user agents doesn't decrease your visibility; in fact, it has the opposite effect. It amplifies the uniqueness of your digital fingerprint, thereby making you more identifiable.

    By default, Firefox uses a single identifier for all users, making it difficult to pinpoint individual users, which aligns with the recommended approach as described above.

  • You're telling me 'ancient aliens' might actually be a documentary?

  • Each CPU core is slightly different due to the manufacturing process, their placement on the die, and other factors.

    Some cores boost higher than others, and can have better single-threaded performance, while others are a little slower.

    Currently, games and programmes are assigned a random core for its main thread, which isn't ideal.

    P-states will address that by sorting cores by their relative performance, and assigning the more performant cores first.

    So while this doesn't make your CPU faster, applications should see a small boost in performance.

  • That's because it kind of is bullshit. Don't get me wrong, the technology behind it is great, fantastic even, but it's being sold in media as something it is not.

  • I don't see anything wrong in the linked github link?

    Feature was added in accordance with project specification, then the thread was closed.

  • I feel like this is way overblown. If you tamper with browser headers and user agents, you will be blocked.

    If you use incognito mode or TOR, you won't be blocked, and in fact, cloudflare offers onion routes for your website so the traffic is fully secured.

    If it weren't for cloudflare, I would have to pay three times the server costs and put twice as much time into managing it.

  • Didn't know they maintained Mac packages as well, that's great.

  • You need to examine your devices packets and see what servers they're going to. You can do that through Wireshark on Windows, or use an external sniffer to examine them.

    I'm not aware of any native apps for Mac that can do that, but maybe others will know.

  • UK has adopted GDPR as national law during the Brexit. Meta not knowing it, or worse, ignoring it, is in for a big surprise.

  • Any business is evil

  • A small digression. Alexa isn't an AI, it's a voice synthesiser that turns what you say into text, and picks one command that is most close to it. It's simple heuristics.

  • This seems to be an external drive, not the boot drive.

  • Since when promoting a healthy life style is bad? I'm fat myself, and would never think of crying 'fat shaming' when someone mentions my state of roundness.
