(video) From rapid alcoholism to runaway abortion all of this societal decay seems counterintuitive for a country that’s often believed to oppose all matter of degeneracy.

… this seems like a sane person

It’s absolutely baffling that Putin decided to invade Ukraine considering this context, unless his population was imploding at a dangerous rate and he needed more citizens.

All that video about how good Russia is at posturing at America and you’re baffled at Russia… using that to its advantage? They were obviously counting on nato being reluctant to aid Ukraine for the fear of a larger conflict and it was working until that changed couple months ago. And I don’t think I need to explain why a war would make a population problem worse…

Edit: sorry if this sounds too aggressive, I won an imaginary debate before coming across this post

Guessing from how this change required 3+ implementations before it became official according to the gitlab page, maybe it’s a chicken and egg situation. Hdr is a lot of work so maybe people don’t want to implement an unfinalized version that might change

Wow the icon saga is finished!?

If anyone wants to throw away a couple hours, there was SO much discussion (and initially drama) over it: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/269

4chan, and it’s maxxing. It’s used used for ‘productive’ things incels do (for the improvement of their life) instead of dooming over how they’re incels

It goes as low as 405mhz on Linux for me (4070ti)

The eff passphrase generator has about 2.5 bits of entropy per character (without word separators). Eff recommends 6 word passphrases, and with an avg word length of 7, that’s (only) 79.45 bits of entropy that won’t even fit in the 32 characters. If there wasn’t a password length limit it would be possible to saturate the hash entropy with a 20+ word & 102+ char passphrase.

What scenario are you talking about?? From the article:

NGate malware can relay NFC data from a victim’s card through a compromised device to an attacker’s smartphone, which is then able to emulate the card and withdraw money from an ATM.
…
Masquerading as a legitimate app for a target’s bank, NGate prompts the user to enter the banking client ID, date of birth, and the PIN code corresponding to the card. The app goes on to ask the user to turn on NFC and to scan the card.

Physical card is involved, mobile payments isn’t.

No? The nfc sensor is next to the credit card, which is why it’s able to communicate with it to relay it.

Why would it need to create fake events? How would that even help?

There is nothing being subverted, nfc has applications other than contactless payments that require it acting as the reader, which is why it’s supported. It would be better if it was behind an explicit permission (just like other sensors would) but limiting it to only responding to readers is like limiting Bluetooth to audio transmission.

The fact you can trick the NFC system on the phone into reacting to “phantom” payment events and intercept the resulting token sounds like a pretty big problem.

That’s not what’s happening though? It’s relaying a physical card’s nfc not tricking mobile contactless payments

It’s pretty common for programs to add firewall rules for themselves during setup. If you rely on manually blocking them after the fact they could have called back home already

Or a firewall that doesn’t rely on windows firewall, since programs will just whitelist themselves from it during installation

I would think the camera bar would make holding the phone easier, is that not the case? I have a note 20 ultra and I find cases with horizontal camera cover sliders significantly more comfortable to hold than those that try to make the camera bump less noticeable

Wow those camera bumps look so ugly. They had a nice look in the previous generations

Gpu brand shouldn’t be a factor, just buy whatever’s better value.

I’ve used nvidia on Wayland for a year and the issues are greatly exaggerated, and if you have a cpu with an igpu you can plug your monitor(s) into the motherboard to get around wayland-related ones (there’s probably some latency impact for games but I can’t tell).

Currently the problems (that I know of) with nvidia drivers are that colors get muted if you enable hdr, steam’s web interfaces appear corrupted or flicker unless you resize them, there is no memory spillover to ram, and the nvidia ‘x server’ settings app doesn’t support wayland.

And keep in mind that issues tend to get resolved over time. When I first built my PC the nvidia gpu would cause xwayland apps to flicker and didn’t support nigth light or transparent panels in kde. The amd igpu would turn the screen pure white if I changed windowing related kde settings. These don’t happen anymore.

In case we didn’t know

How about phones? Surely Samsung would put their own new battery tech in their own phones right?

Mtp is so unstable in my experience that I try to use anything else available

The specifics of how the encryption works is irrelevant to this argument

I’m not claiming iPhones are superior

If it’s not the “Apple’s” and also not the “hardware based encryption”, what’s the argument then? As you pointed it out FBI only needed apple’s help since they didn’t have a working exploit and dropped it once a new one was found. In the latest case with android once again their existing tools didn’t work but cellibrite had an unreleased one ready to use, so they didn’t need to go to court in the meantime.
