not only that, but I remember Firefox (maybe chrome too) announcing a few years ago they have made scripted timers less accurate. I think that was a mitigation against websites attempting a spectre/meltdown attack. how is it that this new attack is not affected by the inaccurate timers?
I would care if they haven’t fucked people over and especially the open source community.
that’s probably the BIOS only loading the configuration on the first boot. you could try enabling fast boot or disabling the right energy saving settings in the BIOS and see if that fixes it.
The only limitation I know is WOL doesn’t work after a power outage, because the switch and RPI doesn’t know where to find the target machine
maybe, but the pi does not need to know that, only the mac address and the interface. the switch doesn’t need to know either because it’s a broadcast frame, it’s forwarded to all cables. the problem sometimes is that if you configure WOL from linux, the network adapter will probably forget on power cycling that it is supposed to react to magic packets. I think not all hardware is susceptible to that, but even then it could help to configure WOL in the BIOS
Nobody is misleading you because you have deeply held ideas on what words should mean.
if your definition of encrypted means telegram is an encrypted messenger, than “encrypted” is literally nothing more than a meaningless buzzword, since all messaging services do some kind of encryption.
another important aspect is webapps also cannot communicate with native apps without you noticing it, while native apps can communicate with each other freely, entirely in the background. if you somehow block internet access to an app that includes google tracking libraries or those of another data broker company, it can just send the data it collected to another app with the same libraries that can still access the internet.
Technically all apps are continered on android, but the permission system is too lax.
i would be skeptical with your comment instead, because I think it has no basis in reality. you did not really say anything concrete about why you think so.
its not even about the permissions, but the API capabilities, and restrictions on background operations. web APIs provide much less access to the operating system than the OS APIs allow, even when given all the permissions. a webapp can’t read all your pictures, can’t access your contacts or SMS messages, because there are no APIs that would allow that.
there are some more intrusive APIs in the web standards that are not really useful for other purposes than misusing them for user data collection, like the battery statistics API or the gyroscope API. but as you see, choosing a browser that respects your privacy will cover that, because while chrome implements it, firefox does not
its bad enough, and I don’t know what to say if you think this is a nothingburger
That’s just your misunderstanding of the term. The chat is encrypted, no lies about it, it’s not end-to-end encrypted.
I was pretty sure someone is going to bring this up! “It uses HTTPS so its Encrypted™, you are just too dumb to comprehend it!”
well, yes, point me to a chat service that is not encrypted on the wire nowadays. I still think it is false advertising, because their clear intention is to make the user think their service is somehow more secure than others, while that is not the case. why would you advertise privacy and encryption, if not for arguing that you the provider cant read messages?
Ironically the owner of telegram is repeatedly posting on his channel about how much more secure telegram is over whatsapp, which is an actual end to end encrypted messaging app (but with other problems, like questionable key handling)
it cannot identify persons, but it can figure out their position and roughly what are they doing.
only if the app is built reproducibly. I suspect the google libraries are likely minified/obfuscated by default though.
Also, you could use a fork like Molly
I do, but that’s only so much when the point of the app is communicating with other people
I’d argue that they can still learn typing
most chromebooks are touch screen only
google docs
indoctrination to the rent seeking and privacy invading lifetime cloud scam
navigating the web
with chrome, teaching them to accept all the forms of enshittification are normal that the chrome browser does not protect against but even support
That said, my kid is about to go to college and hasn’t used a chromebook since 6th grade. I don’t currently know anyone whose kid has either. They’re just not used for schools much anymore. Their huge selling point was simplifying the OS support and battery life, but her current Lenovo lasts all day already as do most normal laptops at this point and GPO’s and AD are a things.
didn’t know that, interesting
my devices don’t, but unless I misunderstood it it does not matter whether you are connected to the neighbor’s router
to be fair there is no way to verify the google play distributed app has been built from the published source code. there are also people arguing that the closed source google components built into it could work as a backdoor
I’m not sure they are lying. Yes, they’re not E2E but I don’t think they claim to be by default, do they?
they claim to be “encrypted”. if I just make a new chat it will not be encrypted. this is false advertising. furthermore this highly advertised feature has artificial limitations, like that desktop clients can’t use it. it also cannot he used with group chats. so much for being “encrypted”.
Unless you intend to check their identity every single time they log in.
or rather every single second the device is being used
isn’t patents the reason fedora doesn’t have hardware accelerated codecs? mesa has the drivers, fedora just doesn’t compile those drivers in
steam os can be modified, but chromeos is explicitly locoed down. yet, people say even steam os might not be exempted by this
you cannot opt out from being visible on camera. that answers the question to me.
