Very interesting! I had not heard of these incidences.
To add to this, while the Superfish issue only affected their consumer laptop lines (e.g. IdeaPad), the LSE issue was found on their enterprise lineup (e.g. ThinkPad).
So yes, in a normal case, one would expect to be safe because they are using their own built image. But Lenovo went much further than simply installing crapware, they added a firmware that updates files on startup in…
I'm always surprised that Lenovo use in the enterprise space didn't take a hit after all this came to light. I would have thought competitors like Dell and HPE would have used that opportunity to disparage Lenovo.
I've always been very curious, that given that the American health insurance lobby is as powerful as it is, why it hasn't successfully lobbied for more accessible abortions. It seems that they stand to gain a lot if…
Well I did say 1-2h in the GP.
I would not consider that acceptable. I guess the assumption is that you would commute into Toronto for work. But that is not what I was talking about. I meant that there were places close by that one could have a life.…
I feel this is a bit sensationalized. If one didn't want to put up with Toronto housing prices, there are many other affordable choices within 1-2h drive from Toronto. No need to pack up and move to Winnipeg which, btw,…

I like fastmail personally because aside from being a fast experience, I like their well written guides and articles. It helps me set stuff up without feeling like I'm just following instructions and helps me understand…
Could you please expand on this? My understanding was that hydrogen was produced through electrolosys. What process does one use to go from a hydrocarbon to H2? And does that process produce CO2?
Bitcoin? Visa gift cards? Temporary Visa cards from places like entropay?
Do ARM chips have ME or PSP equivalents? It would be great to be able to buy a new machine and use something like coreboot without having to use hacks to disable ME.
I'm a bit confused as to why adguard is being targeted here, but things like Disconnect.me which also use a "fake" VPN are not. Can anyone shine some light on this?
While many would not be able to afford a trip to Canada, I would think there would still be a sizeable number who live within 1-2h from the border who could drive there for non-emergency care.
I've often wondered if we could open up private clinics in Canada for Americans where we charge reasonable rates. Kind of start a medical tourism industry by the border.
>The security issue, which the security firm refers to as the Firebase vulnerability IMO, calling the vulnerability the "Firebase vulnerability" makes it seem like it's a problem on Firebase's side. But is it really…
I believe whatsapp is free now? I actually only remember paying once.
Huh. This is great! Might be a NameCheap (my registrar) limitation. The way it's worded in the management page on NameCheap is that DNSSEC is not supported for .ca period. Definitely something I'll look into. Thanks!
I like what CIRA (the .ca registration authority) does. The default is for them to hide your contact information. You have to opt-in to make it public. They then handle all communications people want to send to you.…
Also not an expert, but since videos are transcoded as key-frames and changes applied to those key frames, I don't think it's as simple as segmenting something like a CSV. Transcoding is probably required just for the…
Just to add onto this, there's a whole field of people who design things with human psychology in mind. For example, when you got onto Twitter, they _could_ show you how many notifications you have right away, but they…
Yes, making things _arbitrarily_ difficult would probably go against the spirit of the law, even if it technically complied with it. But as Alex3917 pointed out, as long as a company responded to GDPR requests by email…
One important thing to not about some of these points is that they don't have to be made easy for users. For example, in relation to "Abilty it export data", there doesn't necessarily need to be a feature on the website…
If you clicked the link and found the amount of information they have on your surprising, and now feel a bit violated, then good; you should. You'll probably try to do a bit of research and try to figure out how to opt…
