Maybe they are using super-high def photos, ie, 5000x2500 px, or something, of only the half face? And matching it to only the five profiles they set up, one of which is that face? Don't know - didn't read. But with enough creativity, anything is possible. (That 'creativity' may include 'lying.')

Creativity and lying are synonyms for marketeering.

In this article, I’ll be looking at a Remote Code Execution vulnerability I found in Dell SupportAssist, software meant to “proactively check the health of your system’s hardware and software” and which is “preinstalled on most of all new Dell devices”.
...
The key bypass to this mitigation was in this sentence: “if the URL starts with http://, it will be replaced by https://”. See, the thing was, if the URL string did not start with http://, even if there was http:// somewhere else in the string, it wouldn’t replace it. Getting a URL to work was tricky, but I eventually came up with “ http://downloads.dell.com/abcdefg” (the space is intentional). When you ran the string through the starts with check, it would return false, because the string starts with “ “, thus leaving the “http://” alone.
So close, yet so far...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

My 6-month-old Dell laptop doesn't have that problem... Because it doesn't run Windows, and therefore doesn't run any of the bloat/crapware that the various laptop manufacturers foist off on the user.

Guess their developer who came up with that idea is also a master of SQL injection prevention...

Gosh, YouTube was really bad looking in 2009. On the other hand, now that its design is not so ugly anymore, it's overload with JavaScript-fanciness.

Yes, it was a killing but it was euthanasia. Actually, I think they put it out of our misery.

Yes, this is good because it was one of google's first major misinformation campaigns against anyone who didn't want to use google products -- chrome, in this instance.
Since then, they've used similar misinformation campaigns for numerous things, like internet privacy, their absolute right to publish other people's material without paying royalties, etc.
It's nice to see that such a small company, that had such a small start as a provider of information on the Internet, managed to turn things around and become such a great giant at stealing personal information and producing misinformation.

For the last several months, we've been talking about an internal project ongoing at Microsoft, codenamed "Windows Lite" which is a new version of Windows powered by Windows Core OS and built from the ground up as a modern platform for new devices. Because Windows 10 was, "The Last Version of Windows"?
I'm not entirely sure that the acronym 'FFU' is their best choice.
|
|
|
|
|
Better than "Flash Update Core Kernel" yes, obscenely ugly.
|
|
|
|
|
Built from the ground up? Nothing like that is build from the ground up these days; it's more illusion than reality. Like in, roll the dice and you get a new result, but the dice are still the same.

How about just "Windows Without Cortana"? Or is that fat shaming?

Sources close to the developments hopes that the Malware will be able to break into a computer system, working as a deterrent against cyberattacks. I'm sure that won't go wrong at all (for at least 20 minutes)

Google is introducing a new feature for your Google account that will allow you to automatically delete your Location History and Web and App Activity data after a set period of time. And I'm _sure_ it won't exist in their copy either

And by delete, we mean you won't be able to see it.

Microsoft has vowed to put an end to lengthy and confusing privacy controls and "give customers increased transparency and control over their data." Short version: We're watching
And "The future is private". I wonder how Zuck kept a straight face when saying that.

They inject a local anesthetic into his cheeks so he couldn't smile if he wanted to for at least two hours.

I'd happily save him the cost of hiring an anesthesiologist by doing it for him with a hammer.

This sounds like they'd originally planned to announce something substantive; but after scheduling an announcement ran into the fundamental problem that human understandable policies and policies that provide legal coverage for what a company is actually doing are mutually incompatible.

It just shows that you can't beat an objective-oriented file-transfer protocol.

We’re excited to announce Cray ClusterStor in Azure, a dedicated solution to accelerate data processing of the most complex HPC jobs running in Azure. Just in case you want to say that, "My code runs on a Cray"

I used a Cray about a generation ago to do someheavy duty engineering calulations. Performance wasamazing at te time, but I'm not so sure my dersktop I-7 is that much worse and certtainly more affordable.
