Just an FYI, not sure if it's the first place ever used, but in the pipe five by five is actually from the movie Aliens (When they are shuttling down to the planet). Starcraft just copied it verbatim.

Pretty sure this allready happened once with the news having an exposer about gow a little girl ordered something via alexa and they played her ordering it and all sorts of other alexas tried to place the same order. The little girl had ordered a doll house and augar cookies. https://www.today.com/video/tv...

Fulldisclosure Digest Vol 138 Issue 4 REPRODUCIBILITY: 1. Use a clean iOS 18.6 device (non-jailbroken) 2. Connect it via USB to macOS 3. Open Console.app 4. Apply filter: subsystem == "com.apple.TCC" 5. Observe logs containing: - function=TCCAccessRequest - preflight=yes - client_dict=(null) - daemon_dict= CONCLUSION: These logs indicate a covert telemetry or policy enforcement system in iOS that interfaces directly with the TCC (Transparency, Consent, and Control) framework ? outside the user?s control. There is no public documentation or API contract that explains this access. If intentional, it undermines the platform?s stated privacy guarantees. If unintentional, it represents a design flaw with regulatory implications. I'm ommiting the contact info to not dox the reporter by accident. Sorry for formatting slashdot and iPhones don't seem to like one another.

Was just made aware today that the latest iOS version seems to be spying on itself. SUMMARY: On iOS 18.6, the system daemon 'tccd' silently initiates TCCAccessRequest calls with the flag 'preflight=yes' across **multiple** privacy-protected domains including Contacts, Camera, FaceID, Microphone, Calendar, Reminders, Bluetooth, and App Tracking Transparency (ATT). These accesses: - Occur without user interaction - Do not trigger any permission prompt - Are not associated with any user-facing app (client_dict=(null)) - Originate from internal Apple daemons (daemon_dict=) - Are invisible in Privacy Settings This appears to be a systemic, undocumented telemetry or policy enforcement mechanism operating below the app layer, capable of silently querying or accessing sensitive user data.

This was allready on the front page a few days ago, it not yesterday.

Just install and use synergy, will let you share the keyboard, mouse and clipboard across multiple devices using a network connection. As long as each pc has it's own display it makes using pc B from pc A so much easier.

At least they have it written as a law, what you get in the USA is a secret court order telling you that you have to do this and you can't talk to anyone about it... Power corrupts and absolute power absolutwy corrupts.

Their aupport page tells you to login with guest guest which works, I'd need to know exactly which of their chips you want a driver for but there are chips listed with a bunch if drivers link.

I will gladly second Xen for anyone that wants a hypervisor with a gpu pass through.

is pulling their windows drivers from M$ as opposed to from the manufacturer of the hardware? For anyone not in the know, the manufacturer drivers tend to be better in most cases, there are some exceptions as always. That being said, you really should be installing the latest manufacturer driver if you want to be up-to-date, they don't always send new drivers to MS to be part of windows update so a lot of times you end up with some quazi generic drivers with a lot of features stripped out when you use the windows update drivers. Also since it seems to be a big trend now with a lot of big names, when you have drivers on CD or DVD or even download them from the manufacturer, make a copy and store it somewhere safe. A lot of times you can't find older versions (versions that you may want to reuse), and now instead of letting you download them a lot of companies are trying to sell you a drivers/image disk instead of giving you a download link.

Because nothing gets contracts signed faster then bells and whistles to impress the vendors.

It's not a question of rolling over, neither of the examples you gave offer end to end encryption. They offer encryption between you and their servers; which is far from the same. One request basically says, we know you have this data here is a court order you are not allowed to talk about giving us access to it. The other is you are allowing/enabling this data to remain encrypted from us. Please change something so we can view it unencrypted.

No, sadly UPnP has been a default on most personal routers and ISP provided routers for a long time. So the user does not need tonopen any ports, the device can do so via UPnP.

... You are so far from the truth it hurts. The only reason discord is as big as it is, is because they were the first to market with an in-browser next to no setup required voice chat. Team speak, Ventrilo, Mumble, etc. All offered better platforms with more features but you had to pay for them and unless you wanted to pay again you had to host the server and configure the appropriate connection requirements. All this to say we have been using shittier and shittier products is the name of convenience/ease for a long time now.
