News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

lookeey

This is not the problem it is presented to be, and I see more benefits to this than prejudice.

There is a very concerning amount of illegal apps/scams distributed through ads that I've casual users install somewhat banally with the aid of short walkthroughs.

Any sufficiently advanced user is barely affected by this, as the procedure is just complex enough to block average people from getting scammed/using illegal services unknowingly, but simple enough to barely be an inconvenience for anyone who cares enough and can go through it.

interestingly, apparently "azul" also comes from the arabic "lāzuward"
actually IIRC WinDirStat v2, which was launched recently, uses the same approach as WizTree, being just as fast

Fans increase the efficiency at which your body's own cooling system (sweating) works by increasing the amount of air that flows by your skin, be it hot or cold.
It happened a few times to me that I'd find some very well constructed scam scheme (cryptocurrency washing systems, web platform/phishing scams), then I'd research deeper into it to see how it worked, just to ultimately feel powerless not knowing what to do with the information.
