  • Yes, it was marketed in the dark web marketplaces as "the phone for criminals"

    That app could run only on a special custom ROM. It was a dedicated phone, a Google pixel 4a with locked bootloader and a custom ROM that exclusively allowed to communicate with other anom users. You don't buy a $2000 phone that could only communicate with other $2000 phones if you don't have something to hide.

    It might have happened that maybe a millionaire with disposable income bought a set to talk with his secret girl affair but those were definitely the minority

  • Chrome definitely leaves permanent traces on windows when you uninstall it

    And on MacOS there isn't an uninstaller too, you just send the app to the trash, but all the preferences and leftovers keep littering the drive

  • he was sentenced to 13 years in prison on October 14, 2022. On December 21, 2023, a Dutch judge reduced his sentence to six years

    Again, like the convicted child rapist that was sent to the Olympics after a slap on the wrist. Is the dutch justice system downplaying child abuse?

  • Clearly behind them there's the USA pushing for that.

    Isn't this dangerous, like playing with fire? I don't think that China is going to be "oh no the software license is expire, we give up and close all the factories", rather going to invest billions to find an alternative and make ASML irrelevant in the country. It won't be fast to see cloned machines but isn't it better to keep them tied to licenses and expensive periodic maintenance instead of pushing a temporary roadblock that will lead to the development of workarounds, unofficial cheap maintenance routines and cloned machines?

  • I had a thought. The fsb basically had unlimited free access to any ICQ conversation, but they let it die instead or pushing it as the national chat app. Why? Seems a wasted opportunity to have everyone on telegram where everything is supposedly encrypted if there could have been an alternative where everything was in clear text.

  • “Our case is about Google, the largest information gatekeeper in existence, putting its heavy thumb on the scale to stifle competition and keep consumers within its own walled garden,”

    Says the largest restaurant reviews gatekeeper in existence, which lately put a heavy thumb on the scale to stifle competition and keep consumer within its own walled garden by removing API access to developers that want to show Yelp reviews in their products

  • It's the same bot of the other post!

    This time the bot accidentally copied a popular comment, usually they copy a comment with no likes, then have other bots to send hundreds of likes to make it prominent over the other and have the algorithm show it more often

  • Because they love to change the URLs of their website every year. For an old product everything a search engine gives you is an error 404.

    You need the service manual, and in the service manual there's all the detailed specs and variants and exact product numbers of supported components
