For those wondering, SS7 is Signaling System No. 7.
Signaling System No. 7 is a set of telephony signaling protocols developed in the 1970s that is used to set up and tear down telephone calls on most parts of the global public switched telephone network.
Maybe it's time to upgrade...
Edit: Latest version, 03/93, is from March 1993.
Haven't we already categorized windows as malware and Microsoft as a malware company? We really shouldn't be surprised that they put out another piece of malware. It's their MO.
Google shouldn’t cannibalize its children.
Mozilla wants us to love Firefox again? Ok, well, it's actually pretty simple: treat us like ~~customers~~ users, instead of products again. Make the product for us, not for the corpos. Strange how betrayal turns a friend into a foe, isn't it...
E: changed customers to users, as another user here suggested the difference between them. (thanks, fellow lemming!)
I fixed the bulleted.
Home routing and encryption technologies are making ~~lawful interception~~ spying on innocent civilians harder for Europol
PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, ~~hindering~~ preventing law enforcement’s ability to intercept and ~~monitor~~ spy on the communications of innocent civilians
Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue of Europol not knowing how to do their jobs without resorting to Orwellian dystopian techniques
PET technologies does exactly what it's intended to do--protect the innocent civilian from the prying eyes of the not innocent bodies that are hellbent on eroding privacy and security
A QR code created from the actual fault text would be super helpful. That way we can scan it and get the full error message (details and all) on another device without having to snap a picture or something. But not like windows does it, where it's a link to a defunct page. I'm taking about the actual text transcoded into a QR code.
It's almost like privatizing public services is, somehow, a bad idea. But, but, but... capitalism....
E: jokes aside. The findings in these studies, while obvious to some (possibly most) people, are extremely important. Feelings without supporting data, are just opinions. Feeling with supporting data, are facts. Because of this study, we now have facts to fight against further privatization of public services.
Eating like that, no, you can't live like this. At least, not for long.
Stamp, not a watermark, but yes. There was a post a while back, asking Lemmy OC to have that or something similar. I figured, why not.
Google takes away our ability to block ads. Elon takes away our ability to block content. HP takes away our ability to print with ink we purchased, unless we also pay a subscription. Adobe takes away our ability to own software. Interesting world....
From the article:
"We work hard to build great products, and what consumers do with those tools is up to them — not Apple, and not broadband providers," Cynthia Hogan, VP of public policy at Apple
Prove it, then. Unlock the bootloader. Allow us to install our own apps. Let us install our own OS on the hardware. I get they don't want to open source their iOS, that's fine. They say "what consumers do with those tools is up to them", but then they lock those tools down TIGHT. Actions speak much louder than words. They say those tools are ours? They need to show us that this is true.
I've found out the hard way: Running the script during startup, and running it using the proper user authorization, are two different things.
