California has been on the verge of a mass exodus of businesses for decades. Occasionally one is daft enough to try it, and realizes that the grass isn't really greener. Musk is one of the most recent, having incorporated some business and moved some management stuff out of California, just enough to claim he did it without actually doing it. Meanwhile California continues to be the richest state by a mile.
Is that right? I couldn't find any confirmation of it, but I suppose it's possible. I have a Pixel phone but didn't notice what was pre-installed as I immediately installed my usual apps anyway.
FWIW I no longer have Google Authenticator installed, and usually you can't completely remove pre-installed apps on Pixels.
Time-based One Time Password. You and the server have a copy of a shared secret. The secret combined with the current UTC time (in blocks of 30 seconds typically) is hashed to produce a 4 digit code that you enter as a second authentication factor. Without the secret, even knowing the current TOTP code isn't enough for you to predict future ones.
What TOTP app is already installed on everyone's phone?
The thing to steal is the secret that is used to generate the code. Then the attacker can generate their own TOTP codes whenever they like.
I don't think any UK banks offer it, but I could be wrong.
Sure, but banks care far more about your money being stolen than Facebook does about your account being hijacked.
There's an open bug to fix that, but who knows if it will gain any traction.
The problem with TOTP is that if it was allowed there would be a lot of fake TOTP apps appearing, which steal your secrets. Email is bad because people never log out of it, where as your banking app probably times out after a few minutes of inactivity.
The EU is also proposing to allow everyone to opt out of algorithmic feeds, and IIRC for infinite scroll to be opt-in.
There will still be ads, but the feed will otherwise be chronological, or random.
That's not how it works, there is no way it would create a list of places you have verified yourself to, there is nothing to steal.
Android and iOS already have systems like this for apps that require security, such as some banking ones. The app can ask the OS to check that it has not been tampered with. People who root/jailbreak often find that such apps stop working.
Nothing is recorded, it's just an API call that returns a yes/no response to the question "is the system in a secure state?"
Similarly, the EU's app returns a yes/no response to the question "is the user over 13/15/18?" The app calling the API decides which age it requires.
There is no identifier, nothing leaves your device, there is no record of the API call (at least not in the EU app, which is open source), nothing to steal.
I suppose in theory someone could steal the EU's signing keys and make their own fake version of the app with logging, but if you are worried about that you better throw your phone away because the same fear applies to all the other apps, including the web browser, and your SIM card, and the OS updates. Some years ago British "security" service MI5 stole SIM private keys from manufacturers. We also know that US security intercepts hardware during shipping to install backdoors, so unless you got your phone from the factory in China... Who you presumably think already backdoored it anyway.
You have to wonder why Sony is running the same code, finding these exploits and patching them first.
Exploits like this are never ideal anyway. You need older firmware for them to work, because as soon anything using them is released, Sony will patch them and require the latest firmware to play newer games and use their online services. Most people are going to want to wait for an unpatchable exploit anyway, something that either targets ROM code early in the boot process, or which comes after Sony has abandoned support for the platform so won't patch it.
Cats can't reason or have novel thoughts either, but it didn't stop them enslaving the human race.
It doesn't matter if they can really think or not, if the output is good enough.
Maybe the real story here is that despite having access to the most advanced AI models, these companies were unable to secure their own systems.
Does it matter of it's true or not? Other countries will take it as licence to deploy their own weapons, or to paint the US as the bad guy.
Of course there's no reason for it, it's just our policy.
