And then you get idiots that will tell someone that is not American : “uh why do you care so much about our election, it’s not your country”

Well yes your (vice) president is starting to extort the rest of the world before even starting his mandate…

Have you searched online at all?

I think copy pasting your post literally to the dot on Google gives the result. (CBS news) :

Harris and Trump have competing tax plans. Here’s how your paycheck would change under both.

First result too. Amazing.

Sometimes I wonder if people like you don’t see the disrespect in asking other people to do things you could do in a matter of seconds out of pure laziness.

I obviously won’t link the article because I’m too pissed and I think you need to learn that people here are not working for you. This post is a literal waste of space and time.

Isn’t your password manager tied to an ecosystem with Bitwarden ?

I’m surprised people trust third parties to hold their passwords.

Wasn’t there multiple password managers that got powned over the years ?

If you can sync Passwords you are also more exposed than some unhandy secure local password storage.

Honestly, Apple was for years very anti-repair.

So the manuals are nice but that doesn’t absolve them for the decades of products designed to be hard to repair on purpose.

I won’t go full Rossmann but seriously Appol very bad when it comes to repairability and reliability. But they can release a few manuals and they are absolved for their bullshit?

It’s a start but Apple still makes purposefully hard to repair products.

There would be no reason to adhere to complicated EU rules everywhere else globally.

But there are a ton of websites that do adhere to complicated GDPR rules even though they serve 99.99% US based clients.

I think this has nothing to do with EU and it’s just some far fetched bullshit excuse from Microsoft.

Do not forget that accessing stuff on Google can probably get you to prison.

When you see something illegal on Google that should have never been published publicly you need to immediately avert your eyes and plug your ears. 🙉

Don’t be the next Aaron Swartz…

There were a lot of people making the case that anybody who can open your computer because they have your password (abusive partners included) could then have a lot of access to your activity.

Isn’t this true for any process with elevated privileges on your computer?

The valorant anticheat could just as well get all your data without you ever knowing it.

At the very least it’s better to have that feature in a secure setup rather than the Microsoft approach where it seems like an afterthought at best.

You know I’d rather people be on Linux where you can check what is going on rather than blindly trusting Microsoft (or Apple) that they only do what they tell me they do on my system.

I’m just saying that it’s not good to immediately assume what Apple will do will be as bad as Microsoft. They could take a bad idea and make it a slightly less bad idea.

Also security and privacy has very little value for the average consumer so it’s naive to think the feature won’t be used and useful to many people.

Most people give willingly their data to social networks so these kind of feature and their effect on privacy seems a bit pointless to me. If you don’t like that kind of feature maybe a closed sourced system is not for you after all.

It’s like people are worried about leaking data on what they do on their Windows computer all the while they already sent a ton of telemetry to Microsoft for years. Nvidia will happily scan all the apps you start for troubleshooting purposes.

Every little bit helps but I really think using windows and asking for your privacy to be respected is strange.

Windows 11 was already a privacy nightmare before this feature was tested.

I disagree, I think Apple will do this feature with privacy/security in mind which Microsoft didn’t do.

I absolutely don’t like Apple but I think it’s undeniable that they try to keep their OS secure. It’s still a golden prison but at least it takes privacy fairly seriously.

Microsoft didn’t seem to think about the challenges of that feature and it looks like a draft from an intern after a 1 hour meeting.

Obviously, something that scan a user screen has some implications that are hard to miss.

So yeah it’s easy to point at people and say they are fanboys. But in this case the fanboys would be probably right in the sense that Apple already did better than Microsoft when it comes to privacy.

At the end of the day both are businesses that you shouldn’t trust with your data but I would trust a lot more Apple than Microsoft for doing this right.

We have a great macrocontroller, a brain.

Maybe not as reliable but definitely easier to program.

It affects secrecy a bit but you still have to take at least two different ballots into the voting booth. Obviously you are bringing your own ballot and taking one already printed so it’s not really a secret.

Also there was taped garbage bags in the voting booth so that people can throw away their discarded ballots but that’s also a great way to show what every else has been voting before me…

I still think our voting system is quite ok but there are definitely flaws.

I would have voted for the Pirate Party if there was a ballot for them.

Didn’t print it beforehand so I couldn’t.

Last time I printed my own ballot they just didn’t count it and my vote was considered invalid. Even though I had the exact size required by regulations…

Honestly, the only good advice is to consult a doctor.

There should be laws and fines for this.

Here in France you can technically be fined for not securing properly your wifi. It was put in place by something called HADOPI which tries to catch movies shared on torrents. Unsurprisingly, the lobby of record labels managed to even make sure you couldn’t pretend someone hacked your wifi and downloaded illegally. But I’m sure the same bill but applied to businesses wouldn’t ever pass.

Businesses could leak all your sensitive data and they won’t get anything beside bad PR but a single french citizen not proficient enough to secure his wifi may get in trouble.

Technically you probably could. But it might be frowned upon to be complicit in a DDoS attack.

Big AI trying very hard to hide the truth about glue in pizza.

Apple definitely has that kind of practices too.

Louis Rossman probably has a 40+ MN long rant on this somewhere on his channel.

Edit: Only a 20+ Mn long rant… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV4_mLw2BGM&t=1

By remotely I don’t think they meant a long RJ45 cable connected to nothing.

So this doesn’t look like a setup that can be fully secure.

Could even be completely fake and just to dissuade China from invading.

I suppose there is a security system to prevent just presenting a pic to the cam. But I agree that we shouldn’t trust it.

In any case, biometrics are bad to authenticate people. What’s the point of a key you can’t replace/change…

You should probably not call all reforestation as bullshit projects just based on a John Oliver video.

There is this interesting blog post on Ecosia :

https://cariki.co.uk/blogs/the-green-road/is-ecosia-legit-or-fake#:~:text=Ecosia donates roughly 59%25 of,using their transparent financial reporting.

I understand this is just a blog but there is good sources in there. Ecosia looks like a serious initiative and the fact that they got a B corp rating in Germany is impressive.

The dualsense controller is pretty good.

My issue with it is that the trigger buttons quickly got a bit mushy and loose. Didn’t help to play a ton of Rocket League on it but still it’s not a very durable controller.

Also, the battery was completely fucked up by the fact that I was playing it wired on PC. It was all the time charging when I was playing and then apparently discharging when the computer was off. Support is also pretty poor on PC and you often get games that are not compatible.

I’m interested in replacing it eventually by a good hall effect third party controller. Probably the Gamesir T4 Kaleid or something similar.
