Comment in Bulgaria (Score 1) 295

the subway token system can get EASILY hacked -i.e. you pay for 5 rides and they never "expire". This is all documented in a public website by a programmer dude who discovered it. Nobody did anything it has been like that for years, apparently. I suspect people could be even selling fake prepaid tickets etc. It's just Bulgaria in general country is so corrupt on all levels, that a scam of such magnitude is not threaded as something serious lmao Millions of EU funded money get laundered and stolen into corrupt politicians's own pockets. In Bulgaria the average salary is 400 euro, but you see Brabus and AMG Mercedes S 600 and Bentleys and Panameras everywhere all day...

Comment F-Secure did something similar back in 2014 (Score 1) 71

However the TOS included a Herold clause that allowed the company to claim the first born child or the beloved pet of the users who agreed.
One of the terms stipulated that the user must give up their firstborn child or most beloved pet in exchange for WiFi use. In the short time the T&C page was active, six people agreed to the outlandish clause.

Comment watermarks (Score 1) 47

The copy protection watermarks usually are developed and instituted either by the companies responsible for the film (like Kodak for instance) or the prints (Deluxe, Technicolor).
Each vendor has a different method, some more effective than others.
Philips apparently has been doing some work in this field as they have a relatively newer pirate leak tracking system called “Cinefence”. CineFence watermarks are believed to be harder to erase by pirates, and contain the time, place and date of the recorded movie. Interestingly enough the Digital Cinema System Specification requires some sort of watermarking in their processes.

Comment 48KB RAM + 16KB extended, two floppy disk drives, (Score 1) 857

An Apple II clone with a tape drive - it was called Pravets 82 (8c) also known as Pravetz 82 (IMKO-2) It has a BASIC interpreter, RAM/ROM - 48/12 KB; CPU Synertek 6502 /1 MHz. The ROM and schematics were practically not changed and were identical to Apple 2's. A lot of the chips used were in fact Bulgarian and Soviet substitutes (clones) of the original chips, perhaps reverse engineered.

Comment Premium for Europe premium in the USA (Score 1) 312

I hate it when i find an article that lists "10 cool netflix titles for your sunday night" and then i find only 2 of them in the EU version of Netflix.
What's up wit that? I use only 1 TV and i pay premium for 4 accounts (3 of which i don't use), and i still recieve a crappier service than if I was in the states.
I do however have super fast internet when compared to the US of A and local torrent sites like zamundanet and arenabgcom and global DHT seeding usually have literally ANY movie inside, even the stuff that is in the theaters nowadays (with Korean embedded subs though) - but i am too lazy to torrent after "entering the netflix and amazon prime era", even-though i have PLEX
I kind of prefer to be a part of the paid eco system and not be a "pirate".
So i would gladly pay premium for a beter service and to be able to find more movies but i am forced to search in external sites because netflix in Europe is different than the real US Netflix and the price is the same
