In the interest of protecting user privacy, Mozilla will be adding more aggressive anti-fingerprinting protection with Firefox 67 in May 2019. The feature is copied over from the Tor Browser, a privacy-focused web browser that uses the onion protocol.
 
Onion browsing involves encrypting your traffic in multiple layers, and routing the traffic through multiple proxies before it reaches the destination server. The idea is that the proxy nodes do not know what payload they are delivering, or what source is connecting to what destination. They only know what node they are getting data from, and what node they're passing it to*. This is much safer privacy-wise than normal web browsing, but it comes with some flaws. One of the inherent issues is that it doesn't really stop the practice of fingerprinting, in which ad networks will try to scrape as much data from the person/browser accessing the site with ads on it, and build a digital fingerprint of that person. This could include data such as physical location, actions taken on the page, and even information about the user's computer, including the user agent (i.e. which browser is used), and even the dimensions of the browser window.
 
The particular feature that Firefox is adding to their anti-fingerprinting mode is called letterboxing, in which the browser actually slightly changes the dimensions of the page when loaded, in an attempt to make it harder for ad networks to fingerprint the user through browser dimensions. A grey border is added on the edges of the window, to make it so that Firefox isn't reporting the real dimensions of your window at any given time.
 
Like most privacy boosting features in web browsers, letterboxing can cause its own issues in usability. The feature is available in the nightly dev version of Firefox, and when enabled, many sites break due to not being able to properly place items on the page.

Newgrounds?
 
Also lego.com, my dad annoyed me when he deleted the cache and I had to re-download the goddamnend games for 5-10 mins.

How very sad:( I love GOG for everything they stand for. DRM free and keeping an older generation of games alive, up-to-date, and playable. I wish they would at least start asking for donations or starting fund-raising or something. Would absolutely hate to see them disappear off the market... ? 

Has any of these people thought that maybe we should slow down a bit?
 
Automation stands very likely to put a third of the workforce of the developed world, out of a job. Less than 1/5th-1/15 of those (in my mind) is likely to find a new job repairing the automation machines. And how long before those people are replaced by machines?
 
I wouldn't mind, if we were seeing huge breakthroughs in "putting my brain in a jar on top of a robot so I can live forever".

I guess they turned RTX on and found it was....
 
too hot to handle

Best quote from the Bloomberg article:
 

So there's roughly two ways this can go:
 
1) More confirmation of why destroying local production was a massive National Security disaster for the USA 
 
or 
 
2) Full Scale Fake News!
 
Either way, this should be fun.
 
As a note, everyone spies and everyone will try to do stuff like this. This is why local technology production was always important. It's also why money from black sources historically love to make other countries dependent on the technology/manufacturing from a single country. 

i don't think that'll happen as the majority of people here are running windows 10

And this is why you avoid connecting computers to networks if possible. Ideally any sort of military device should have physically separate operational and communications networks.
If multiple U.S. officials are confiming this I would suspect this actually happened. The CIA does something similar (basically a MiTM attack but with shipments of computers).

It seems they did find something:
 
Edit:
It seems AWS:China found these chips and decided against removing them to instead determine what they were sending/receiving
 

The "Trade War" exists due to the trade imbalance over 3 decades. Just to give an example, China’s imports of U.S. goods last year was just $154 billion. In the third round of tariffs, Trump implemented $200 billion worth of tariffs on China's exports to the U.S. That's the extent of imbalance in the exchange of wealth (aka. trade). When money is constantly flowing in one direction to China, specific groups of people in the USA will suffer. This situation is the same with economic trades involving other countries. Taking wealth away from the USA in this way affects the middle to low-income groups much severely, which is something we have all seen in the past decades.
 
In the long term, high-income groups in the USA are not affected by this "Trade War". They have the social network and financial buffers required to adjust to the new conditions. On the other hand, without this "Trade War", US middle and low-income groups have to spend their money on purchasing foreign goods; this is because purchasing domestic products would simply be far too expensive due to differences in costs of living and thus the amount required to pay a worker in China versus the USA. That affects the price of goods produced overseas versus domestically. As this continues to happen, money flows outside of the USA to other countries and foreign companies, the government's revenue decreases, and USA has gradually less money to spend on critical infrastructure like education, electricity, and so on. In this case, China clearly benefits the most because they have been extracting wealth from the USA in a way that only benefits:
 
1) USA high-income groups.
2) China high-income groups.
3) China small and big manufacturers.
 
Without this "Trade War", there wouldn't be an economic restructuring around the world, and the wealth inequality would only continue to deteriorate in USA. So although Gigabyte and other Asian brand products will be more expensive, I do believe that there will be renewed innovation in manufacturing within the USA, leading to a surge in new discoveries, as companies are forced by governmental action to stop relying on cheap manpower and thereby continue using old technology.

The USA is, depending on the year, the 2nd or 3rd largest exporter in the world. Largest Food exporter. Largest importer of non-perishable items. Oh, and the world's largest market. The USA is the world leader in IP, R&D and Business Services, along with most heavy manufacturing tech and a near monopoly on extraction technologies.
 
Though, for our purposes, the USA is also the world's leading exporter of "Fake News". Trump won by playing the game. Re-read my first paragraph. Nearly all manufacturing can be moved back to the USA in 1-2 years, if necessary. As technological production automates more & more, there's little reason to have line workers that a paid extremely poorly to put things together. 
 
But, on the Fake News aspect, that's really why people don't understand these issues. We're victims of highly interested groups that want to push very specific economic interests. And those economic interests go against the interests of the majority of Americans. It's fairly simple. The tariffs change calculations for everyone involved in an industry. Sure, Americans, for a time, might be pay $2 extra on a $20 USD purchase, but how is that different than price fluctuations that generally happen? But that pricing difference changes what local producers can do within a market. 25% import tariff can protect entire industries, as that's a pretty standard level of tariff in most of the world. 
 
Leadership positions are only lost because you get invaded & conquered. Or, in the case of much in the States, foreign & domestic enemies of the people conspired to exfiltrate the wealth of the country. Trump's being "nice" at this stage. The USA can obliterate China's economy overnight, which is why the "trade normalization" process is going in steps. As much as China doesn't like this, this was hashed out back in early 2017 when Xi visited Florida. What we're seeing is the slow rollout of a process that'll still take a few more years, as to keep the disruptions down a bit. The power of long-term planning.
 
6 more years.
 
It looks like they're going to push CAD to 1.4, 1.5 and possibly far higher than that. Might take a trip down to 1.2 before they do it though. It's the likely explanation for why Trudeau & company have been ordered to tank the NAFTA negotiations. You guys are in for some pain over the next few years.

I would expect this to be "fixed" shortly.
 
Wonder if it does it with Facebook/Facebook Messenger.

We can only hope that PUBG Corp. wins, Epic is made to pay billions in compensation and consequently goes bankrupt , thus Fortnite is never played again and dies a slow and painful death.
Fingers crossed.

It wouldn't be anything close to the worst ecological distaster. Ffs you really don't understand the scale of things....
 
Guys. 
 
There are 4 billion tons of Uranium in the ocean right now. Naturally. 
 
In fact, it's so non-damaging to the environment by comparison to... well everything else (200 million times the specific energy makes it pretty damn hard to beat), that ocean floor disposal is arguably the single best option for waste disposal of nuclear materials. The big reason we never did it (in actually large quanitites) is that it would be damn near impossible, if not ludicrously unreasonable, to try to bring the waste back up (recover) once we put it there.
 
This reactor isn't a health risk with or without propulsion. The entire thing could be swept up into a giant freak megastorm, broken into a million pieces, and it would be a non issue.
 
A 'meltdown' if such a thing is even possible with this reactor design (yes it is possible, has been done, and will continue to be done, to make a reactor that physically cannot undergo meltdown no matter what happens), would be immediately trapped and displaced by the ocean. Honestly, it's pretty much the dream situation for waste cleanup.

Annnnnd this is why you make your own and save money while doing so. LTT should honestly just make a video on how to make your own. There is a script online that makes it so all you have to do is hit 1-4 to select the options you want like 192 or 256 bit. 

Well if you consider how big of a deal losing GPS navigation would be, and how powerful the United States military is ??.....
 
Then testing a large area that is being jammed makes a lot of sense. 
 
What else would be happening there? Aliens? Those Ruskies at it again? Korea? 
 
Like seriously come on. 

That's what you get if you have a shitty bug bounty program that doesn't even cover your main OS. 
 
At least it's out in the open now.  Could have been worse, the code could have secretly been sold to 3-letter agencies and other cyber criminals and then nobody would have known until they lost control of the weaponized version, resulting in a Wannacry scenario for Mac. 

Let me know how that works out for you when you need to remember a 23 character combination of letters, numbers, symbols, upper case, lower case, with no more than 2 consecutive characters and all non-dictionary based words.

>Not immediately in danger but might be. 
 
Thanks 5820K. Hasweasel-E still got it. 

...Probably zero... I don't think unencrypted phones stop guns from firing...

Microsoft added the ability for Corporate partners to handle their own internal key management. Instead of simply issuing VLKs to corporate partners instead corporate partners can now create their own Key Management Servers (KMS). Employees are issued KMS keys that are activated at the place of work using the internal KMS and employees are required to reactivate the key every 30 days by physically connecting their machines to the corporate network (it has to be physical, no VPN or tunnelling). The stupidest thing about it is even if an employee doesn't reactivate after 30 days the software continues to fully operate forever, it just nags at boot to be reactivated by a KMS.
 
It didn't take the pirates long to figure out any retail software can easily be converted to a KMS version by swapping a few DLLs. They then created KMS emulators and by now you can see where this is going. A KMS key installed into converted retail Office/Windows with a KMS emulator and a Windows task scheduler task that runs the KMS emulator every 29 days and you've got a fully activated version that will never expire and MS cannot even blacklist the key as key blacklisting is also handled by the internal KMS.
 
KMS works with Windows 8, 8.1, 10, Server 2016, Office 2013 & Office 2016.
 
Without going into details cracking Windows and Office is now as simple as downloading the auto KMS tools, running them and pressing Activate Office, Activate Windows or Activate Both then pressing OK a few times and waiting. It even auto detects which versions you have, can handle multiple versions simultaneously and will crack them all individually.

EA its not in the game since we want to sell DLC
 
Anyway as usual EA devours all, frankly every title they get their hands on that I used to like becomes absolute trash so it's probably better if they don't make any sequels

Ok
 

We heard you like back doors so we installed a backdoor into your backdoor facing camera so you can watch your backdoor through a backdoor.
 
They will probably claim these were for "testing purposes only" and it were not designed to be released.
