This is war. You need to allocate your resources where they will be most effective. If a rocket is on target to hit … A bunch of crops, then it’s better to let it pass and use your costly defenses on rockets hitting things of military importance or civilian centers.
Yep! The security guard is also given a bunch of rules to follow such as “don’t let anyone outside of our neighbourhood (aka your local network) contact door 22”, which will also determine whether messages get delivered or not
Imagine your computer is a big block of flats and your applications are all people who live in the building.
Mail sent to the building address alone isn’t going to reach the intended recipient, because the postman doesn’t know what flat to post it to. So they need additional information such as ‘Flat 2C’
That’s the basic concept of ports. It’s basically additional addressing information to allow your computer to direct internet traffic to the correct applications.
When an application is actively listening on a port, it means that they are keeping an eye out for messages addressed to them, as designated by the port number. While an application is sending or receiving messages using a given port number, that port number is considered ‘open’.
Now, all sorts of applications do all sorts of things. Some are for the public to use and there are some that are useful within trusted circles, but can be abused by malicious people if anyone in the world can send messages to it. Thus, we have a firewall, which acts as a gatekeeper. A firewall can ‘block’ a port, denying access to a given group of people, or ‘unblock’ it, allowing access.
VPNs are a totally different thing. They are literally middlemen for your internet traffic. Instead of directly posting a message to somewhere and receiving a direct reply back, imagine you flew out to Italy to use a post box there and receive replies from there.
What they mean is if you are a affiliated with a national government. You might also be a target if you are very very rich.
If you’re an average Joe, they probably won’t burn it on you.
Ah. That’ll do it.
And desktop mode doesn’t help?
Zygist is a way of hiding the fact that you have root access . Likely your bank changed absolutely nothing.
That it is, but at least it’s not sending your card details to me.
There’s also the fact that on Win/Mac/Linux, you’re interacting with the bank via a browser and not a bespoke app.
That’s actually got a solid reason behind it.
It’s because the OSK is just another program as far as Android is concerned. It can’t directly look into the application, per Android specifications, but it CAN record key presses, even for passwords. It even receives context hints based on the metadata on the input box, so it knows when you’re putting in a password. Then it can send your data off to unknown servers.
“oh damn, you guys didn’t know? I feel bad for you but it’s probably too late for you now. Guess you’ll find out soon enough.”
Then: complete radio silence.
It does though. As someone who isn’t a US citizen, resident or visitor, he isn’t subject to US laws.
What he is subject to is the laws of the country he was residing in, and any extradition treaties they have with the US. What he allegedly did was a crime there too, which is important as most countries will not extradite if what the subject did wasn’t criminal in both countries, if they were still in the request-recipient country at the time.
Assange was never in the US when he leaked the documents.
You could build a mobile/watch app that communicates to a self hosted server when the device gets unlocked. if you don’t get that signal at least once over a week, trigger the switch.
Have patience. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and both overcoming your mental struggles and finding a partner who accepts you and can handle you will take time.
The only thing we can do is live the lives we have.
For as long as I’ve been alive we’ve always been on the brink of one thing or another. Worrying about the bits that you cannot change will only do you harm.
Just when I though the UK couldn’t disappoint any further.
Because those are regular jobs and skills? Okay, maybe not COBOL nowadays but still.
Oh the EU will definitely call this anticompetitive. Especially when nVidia have a monopoly in the AI segment as is.
It’s not scary in any way though? Or inappropriate for kids in any way?
Calling it nightmare fuel is quite the stretch tbh. It’s like calling a 6ft basketball player incredibly tall.
