while its terribly nice thought, airbnb is one of the worst ways to go aout this between fee's to credit card companies and employee's wages who are accountable to shareholders basically its NOT GOOD
we have a great way to donate time/money/resources to those caught in a warzone (setup specifically for this)
please share and donate what you can
you would think that someone at OpenStreetMap Foundation would think of a creative way around this:
if you have a android phone install it and help map your neighborhood
on google play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.westnordost.streetcomplete
on Fdroid
https://f-droid.org/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/
if you would like to sponsor the developer:
https://github.com/sponsors/westnordost
(sadly he has very few and its a amazing bit of kit)
please pretty please sort out your DNS
no DNSSEC security and optionally no IPv6 for
name2.kt.co.kr. None
name.kt.co.kr. None
name3.kt.co.kr. None
your corporate web server still supports MD5 which really should be phased out and indicates maybe lacking some security elsewhere...
if anyone tells me there is a certificate transparency log I'll laugh...
basically you need a way to establish trust and frankly that requires a root or offline signing party and expensive safes (you know what they do for DNS party)
this has been rehashed (boom boom) so many times
across 7,301,264 tests in the UK
the Log Avg download speed was 24.1 Mbps
the Log Avg upload speed was 7.21 Mbps
these are from https://speed.measurementlab.net/
which is what the USA used for their updated broadband map... why does the UK not have a broadband map?
go measure your own speed and contribute to the data set. https://speed.measurementlab.net/
I would love to know where they are getting those numbers from because the public tests of their network show 53.85 Log Avg (Mbps) over 1,512,184 tests.
wondering if they make false advertising about their speeds then can they be fined ?
so you want to tie the ability to tell someone where you are to a commercial service?
Brilliant just brilliant didnt we go through this over a hundred years ago and decided it was not optimal
yes yes we did...
dont use what three words, it has errors and is annoying
scarily enough someone at google mapping tried not to be evil and set open location codes free
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Location_Code
if you want an Evaluation of Location Encoding Systems https://github.com/google/open-location-code/wiki/Evaluation-of-Location-Encoding-Systems
Qantas gave up on in seat entertainment
they simply equip users who want a screen with a managed iPad and wired headphones
people who already have an iPad/android/windows simply can connect to the Wifi and download the entertainment app
everything is an app...
the App simply is a HTML interface to the onboard server which can stream movies or audio (podcasts)
basically like a netflix in the sky
WTF are United Airlines thinking ?
the WA government proved themselves incompetent when they went with a checkin that was not private
the testing rates are terrible and so it spreads and no one is aware...
They could have stood up and used this on apple and google
https://covid19.apple.com/contacttracing combined with a private QR check in log that only gets sent when requested
oh I dont know much like New Zealand... so WA gov is worse than NZ...
let that sink in...
Microsoft Office 365 lacks DANE support yet the feature is coming to Exchange Online servers....
so yes they both are planning to support DANE and not at the same time...
GMAIL can support DANE now if you get the MX right and sign your own domain so technically gmail is more secure.
I hope Microsoft product managers might pay attention and follow through...
Honestly I see this doing exceptionally well in APAC
what would have been nice is the ability like the Motorola desktop mode to the Edge+ to a display over video-enabled USB-C or USB-C-to-HDMI.
basically allowing Playing mobile games on the big screen as a bonus it allows a controller and big screen...
when someone reefers to security I always want to scream that's your job... The Base not an extra that you should be praised for...
For example the nominet web server does not even enforce its own cipher preference so maybe just maybe you should fix that BASIC thing.
This is a public facing supposedly security conscious root of trust type organisation and it cant even get its website security right... who knows whats going on behind the scenes.
I have no pity
5G is a joke you only have to look at a coverage map of Australia to understand that they can only install Antenna masts where there is Fibre... your essentially sharing a Fibre connection
Maybe the current bunch of bastards (Australia slang for members of parliament) get in again the NBN might well be sold off to the highest bidder and the highest bidder will maximise the shareholder value by doing what telstra has done for the last years, the bare minimum to keep the money rolling in (nothing but repair and slow upgrades to existing infrastructure) there will be NO INVESTMENT.
if australia wants to be connected then INVESTMENT is the only way things will IMPROVE.
Vote for the bastards that INCREASES investment and provide for a way to EARN money in diverse places rather than just in the city (which has plenty of fibre).
Dublin tried to entice ECMWF to relocate it was only recently that they renewed the UK Government commitment to build new headquarters and research facilities for ECMWF on the University’s Whiteknights campus, as confirmed by the UK Science Minister, Amanda Solloway, on 10 December.
“We welcome the clear statement from the UK Science Minister Amanda Solloway, which highlights the strong UK commitment to relocate ECMWF’s core work to new premises at the University of Reading.
“Reading is one of the world’s leading scientific centres for weather, climate and environmental science. The combined power of researchers based at the University of Reading, including units of the UK Met Office and the Natural Environment Research Council, plus the core work of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, will continue to represent a scientific force that benefits the whole world.”
this is general purpose mid range ARM stuff that is cheap hence why they are putting it into a NIC yes it can run linux and do offload for the main general purpose processor.
really this is general purpose processor being pushed into places to replace application specific integrated circuits that used to do offload, basically the complete opposite of what the exec is talking about...
dont let the details get in the way of a good story for the executive...

its the reverse from what you think it is... its not about the ability to remove meta data its about ADDing
if you want to be able to prove that the photo was taken by bob and has not been altered i.e. hash signature preservation even after editing (prove you just altered the white balance and nothing else)
its all meaningless if websites strip the metadata
until websites support correctly:
http://www.embeddedmetadata.org/social-media-test-results.php
Instagram is the worst offender and could be turned around easily...
make sure your websites correctly attribute images/text and do not strip metadata.
the operators can easily see if the scooter is lying on its side (they have a gyro in the tracking package) and also can obtain the location via GNSS / Wifi / Bluetooth
they could start to report users or at least warn them to prop it upright in a safe place...
but thats ot really in the companies intrest and they will only do it if regulated to do so...
gbfs is pretty much useless for the regulator and gives no feed of the routes taken nor if it was dumped on its side vs standing upright it has things like android pay which is not really relevant for a regulator...
how is software called Kodiak supposed to work if the handsets are all IP ala 5G stand alone and they go out of range then do they create their own network no matter the provider they where using ?
someone clearly does not understand how networks actually work... unless I'm missing something ?
Have customer details such as people who are authorised to have access been compromised ?
(i.e. my details )
I have a sneaky suspension they have and the longer they deny it the more customers that will swear never again...
Reputations are everything and this is not the time to fudge or use a play book for a security investigation.
they have not benefited security
they have not benefited the domain holders
they have not benefited the networks (domain registrar is not a network)
they have benefited themselves.
I would love to see a well thought out legal challenge to their "oversight" I suspect that the legal dept has a greater payroll budget than their technical dept...
payroll say's everything
its a tool built in java to search across information sources... nice but realistically this is what perl was created for, you have to wonder why the gov agencies did not do this themselves if they have that sort of budget but it's the American way... expensive consultants.
If they can spend that sort of money to get into gov contracts then maybe just maybe they can live of the fat of maintenance although with things transitioning it's going to be hard regardless of the politics.
1/ they are a patent troll and infact boast about it with 16 employees and no products. What it does have is a portfolio of more than 2,000 patents, mostly acquired from Ericsson AB.
2/ I wonder if they paid for the courts time ? otherwise the UK tax payer forked out for exactly nothing...
