    “Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”

    Bad idea to let governments set precedence over controlling speech.

    "I'll put off patching a critical security flaw in the design of my CPU because I don't want to lose performance on my SSD."
     
    I dunno about any of you, but I patched as soon as I saw MS had the package up. Yes, I'll admit things feel slightly more sluggish on my SSD than they used to. But I'd rather do that, than risk exposing a critical security flaw in the design of my CPU to an internet-connected machine. Perhaps with time this will be mitigated, but stalling on updating on something this big is just idiotic.

    To be honest, I thought they were already doing this. I've not had decent/fair matchmaking in any EA game recently.

    Sweet. I see a lot of "virtual console" stuff incoming since Nintendo apparently hates making money.

    https://wccftech.com/apple-iphone-x-friend-unlock-not-once-twice/
    Skepticism aside, this isn't the only time this was reported with Face ID.
    It just still begs the question for me. Fingerprints are highly probable to be unique. Passwords/phrases as well. I get that it's convenient to look-unlock the phone, and I get for perhaps a home computer as well, but at what cost for a public computer or a phone you carry daily? At what point does it become a nuisance that this supposedly "secure" feature is being thwarted seemingly so easily?

    You mean *gasp* using someone's face, an incredibly non-unique biometric, as authentication over fingerprints or passwords actually isn't that secure?
     
    How strange.

    TL;DR because it's confusing: The antenna picks up a Wifi signal, and the intermittently contacting switch (made with filament embedded with iron/copper) interferes with the signal in a specific way that can be interpreted by a receiver.
     
    Seems interesting. I'm not sure what applications this has whatsoever.
