    2FA reacted to MimigaKing in Glasswire 2.0 update disabling bloackage of apps for free users   
    Yes, they did remove the ability for free users to use the firewall feature stating in V2.0. However, this is NOT a firewall app as you state. It is in all purpose a bandwidth monitoring app first and with an added firewall. 
     
    As a business, they have the right to everything and could entirely disable the software if they so wished for free users at anytime because you haven't paid for it. 
     
    Keep in mind that you have agreed to this when installing the software as written in the Terms of Service.

    Those are different because their price is much lower and honestly are good for the price point, the M50X's are not good for their price point.

    Still GPU mining, plus CPU mining has always been decent on XMR with Threadripper outperforming most GPUs.

    You have zero idea if there was a warrant or not, you're just getting upset because a business didn't help you get away with tax evasion.

    You're still required to pay taxes on purchases even if the merchant doesn't collect it themselves.

    Not all anti-heroes end up doing the right thing, and Light is definitely in that category.
     
    Not all of them are villainous either, they just don't go about things in the stereotypical good guy way. The Punisher is a prime anti-hero example, and yet he has an incredibly strong sense of justice and protecting the innocent. The anti-hero part of him is how and why he exacts justice, often in some of the most brutal ways possible.

    2FA got a reaction from Natsoup in [Python] New to coding and my teacher had a bad explanation   
    Disclaimer: I don't do Python except in specific circumstances so apologies if my terminology isn't exactly correct.
     
    Paying attention to indentation for order of events is pretty key here. You initially set the variable repeat as 1. You then call the main() function which detects the type of calculation to do and then does that calculation function. Then you determine whether the user wants to continue with another calculation. Return is pretty common among different languages. It basically tells the system to output a value/variable from the function.
     
    In this case, if the user says no to another calculation, main() outputs repeat with a value of 0 to the system and main() ends. Since you have not specified anything after that to execute in the case of repeat equaling 0, the program ends.
     
    If the user says yes, main() outputs repeat with a value of 1. The difference here though is that the while loop at the end checks the value stored in repeat, specifically checking for a value of 1. Since the value this time is 1, the loop calls the main() function again to go through the calculation again and giving repeat the value from return repeat from the second time through main().
     
    If during the second time the users says no to repeating, then that original repeat gets the value 0. The while loop checks to see the value of repeat, sees that the condition check comes back as false, does not iterate another time through the loop and ends the program.
     
    If the users says yes a second time, the original repeat gets the value 1. The while loop sees that the condition check comes back as true and so it iterates through the loop once more, calling the main() again and giving repeat the returned value once more.

    Not to be that guy but you're overblowing this I feel like. Yeah they can boot off a flash drive but that doesn't mean they have access to any user data or other data stored on the network. Chances are user data isn't stored on the local machine at all, and the only way to access a user's data on the file server is through domain authentication.
     
    Let's assume they even manage to get to one person's drive on the server, it won't be able to spread to any other user drives as that person won't have read access, let alone write access to other user's data. You would have to compromise a domain admin account to even do what you're suggesting. No offense but it seems like you think you know more than you actually do.

    2FA reacted to SpaceGhostC2C in My College's IT Department Is Leaving Computers Exposed in a Very Stupid Way   
    If you notice an IT problem, tell the people responsible for IT. Once you successfully communicate with them, that's it. They may fix it, they may not, they may have reasons to act this way and can't be bothered to discuss them with you. People often say "power comes with responsibility", but forget that the reverse also holds: responsibility comes with power. If someone is responsible for the outcomes, you should respect their right to call the shots as well. Informing them is being helpful, trying to force them your way is overstepping.
     
    That's vert bad advice. First, even professional security researchers get into trouble when they "demonstrate a problem". Oftentimes the difference in punishment between "I could have done all this, please fix it" and "I actually did all of this" is minimal. So, it's a bad idea from a self-preservation point of view.
    Second, from a "moral" point of view if you will, messing with other people's job is a rather immature way of dealing with this kind of issues.

    2FA got a reaction from Taf the Ghost in US Government will be intermittently jamming GPS near New Mexico until Feburary 24   
    The same way you jam any microwave signal, and it doesn't have to be white noise. It can be anything as long as it either reduces SNR or forces the receivers to lock onto a transmitter with an unmodulated signal. If the signal does a handshake at first connection (GPS does not as you don't need to transmit anything to the network), you can even force an infinite handshake loop.
