Comment Someone will find a way (Score 1) 40

If the chip as the hardware capability to decode it, then it's just a matter of finding how to turn it back on. Patched firmware, hardware pin or a hidden system call somewhere. Sooner or later someone will find it. There's no limits to what can be achieved when you piss of bunch of nerds with a lot of time on their hands and a taste for vengeance.

Comment Re: Welcome back Do Not Track header (Score 1) 122

The problem with DNT is that it's too generic and that it's just a voluntary convention, not enforced in any way.

Because it's called Do Not TRACK, it allows companies to wiggle out of any rules. Is performance measurement tracking? Is screen capturing for session replays tracking? Is it? Is it?? Well, you say yes, we say no. We'll see you in the court of law in 10 years.

Easy get out of jail card. Too easy. Even if it was respected at all (it's not).

What are you on about? As far as I know, IPhones auto disable the device after 10 attempts by default.

Besides, you're talking about password attempts like you've only just done Cybersecurity 101 at uni. What you said is common knowledge/practice. Stop getting so excited about it, Captain Obvious.

Comment Really? (Score 4, Insightful) 32

At my place we're currently migrating everything we can back to server-based architectures because trying to maintain a zillion of lambdas and other microservices costs us more in development time and money than it costs to run a proper monolithic server. Kubernetes on top and you're sorted.

Turns out having a stack that devs can run FULLY locally, gives them 10x bonus to development speed.

I mean, we're still in the cloud, just not cloud-native.
