It's an army we are talking about here; even if Switzerland is not expected to ever face a serious threat, let's be serious.
Uh? And what's the difference between what you said and what he said? I mean it's expected that, if they refuse, they'd have to pay a fine. Otherwise nobody would go
The other person being honest would have helped much more.
When everybody has a degree the value of a degree plummets. It's... logic?
I was under the impression that Firefox already shipped with an ad blocker by default?
It's not 403, it is 401.

>But Firefox seems to be somewhere you get rewarded for introducing new features rather than fixing bugs.

Something else they are copying from Google!

Seems like these scripts are triggered by malvertising -- if your ad blocker is properly configured this should never happen.

When I didn't have an SSD, I spent a lot of time configuring the system so it wouldn't do as much IO in the background. Lots of services, as you say, do that by default, and it's unbearable. You'd be using the computer normally and all of a sudden it would start crawling for no apparent reason.

Windows XP running on the hardware of the time was much more responsive[] than 10 running on modern hardware.

[] if we don't count accesses to the disk, of course

Re:Half of us have quit our job because of a bad boss (2015) on Monday November 04, 2019 @06:01PM (#21447617)
That's cool because it means you can actually do that if your manager is bad. In some countries there are no jobs so all you can do about having a bad manager is... nothing.

That's what I was thinking. This guy is one of the most reputable software developers in the world, bearing the weight of the Windows Shell on his shoulders, with a career that spans decades... and he bought... an alarm clock with wifi? Was he drunk that day?

I'm pretty sure everybody knows Fortnite by its BR mode, so this only applies to you and a handful of other people.

I've seen many BIOS that allow you to do that
Re:The AdaOS Operating System (2000) on Sunday November 03, 2019 @02:24PM (#21435967)
That's what the owner of the project uploaded. Sourceforge allows you to host repositories like github/etc, but the repo of this project is empty: https://sourceforge.net/p/adaos/code/ref/master/
Re:Adding Client-Side Scanning Breaks End-to-End Encryption on Sunday November 03, 2019 @01:21PM (#21435566)
>The simplest possible way to implement this: local hash matching. In this situation, there’s a full CEI hash database inside every client device. The image that’s about to be sent is hashed using the same algorithm that hashed the known CEI images, then the client checks to see if that hash is inside this database. If the hash is in the database, the client will refuse to send the message (or forward it to law enforcement authorities).

The image could be scanned when it's received, and not when it's sent. That way you can't use hacked clients to send forbidden images.

>When you visit my page I load www.forum.example/moderators/header.css and see if it came from cache.

Why can your page know if a certain resource came from cache? Can't that hole be plugged, instead?
