time... messages are accessible from any other paired DP 01 handset." < looks like a decent landline, probably a more resilient niche
than dumbphone given
the holeyness visible in

BingoBoingo: "There are also mentions of McAfee’s propensity for coprophilia—not

ben_vulpes: great
thing about keeping a decent fidelity scale in
the office is impromptu coffee
tasting experiments
shinohai: AT least one person is going
to look at you and wonder why you are speaking into a calculator ben_vulpes
ben_vulpes: no devices are allowed in
the war room.
ben_vulpes: but
the internet
terminal living in
the backpack and not my pocket is an improvement.
ben_vulpes: i suppose what i'm most pleased about is prying one sucker of one
tentacle off my forearm.
mircea_popescu: now shoes on
the other hand,
they're different.
there's certainly
the "i'll buy you
this 30 dollar pair of red stilettos, which you
then forget in
the cab and nobody cares".
there's also
the fine italian leather shoes which are worth whatever
they cost. so dunno.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: until/unless
they import
the republican license,
there's no market for "good" phones. because a phone
that's not predicated on breaking
the law can't be good.
mircea_popescu: generally
the later are
the sort of
thing where quality is directed
towards
the state rather
than you. like phones.
mircea_popescu: well, some
things you buy by quality an' some by quantity.
ben_vulpes: but: no way
to install apps, no 'apps', even, max of 1000
text messages and some 200 address book entries.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: c'est possible. likely runs android under
the hood even.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu:
the unboxing experience is strongly reminiscent of early apple
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes somehow i suspect all
the junk is still in
there, under
the plastic.
ben_vulpes: nothing says "you are useless and your career wasted"
than a conversation with a man who spent
three hundred dollars on a device
that precludes your 'lifes work'.
mircea_popescu: "Pre-order
the MP 01 in white or brown
to beat
the rush – and receive a copy of Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry
Turkle, a pack of Punkt. postcards, and a stylish
tote bag."
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
to wind 'user experience' experts up.
mircea_popescu: hanbot what if someone

scriba: Something went wrong while attempting
to read
the log.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller nah it was discussed in
the logs, whle back.
adlai: thestringpuller: if your net worth's center of gravity lies close
to
the printolade axis, it's negative on hard currency scales
trinque: OH WAIT

trinque: McAfee killing criminals is supposed
to make me not like him?

tricks brought
to you by red hat entreprise security department.
mircea_popescu: "Avoid easy selections, such as qwerty or password. If you want
to pick an easy-to-remember but somewhat unique password, consider a variation of a word, such as a1rPl4nE for airplane."

http://archive.is/e3oME "We welcome
the progressive position
taken by
the Argentinian government and regulators on Bitcoin." (Warning, link in
tweet is

mircea_popescu: "challenges
teams
to leverage
technology
to empower communities with a
transformative solution
that ensures women’s safety" is basically "find a way
to extract magical energy from
the ether
to power a machine
that'll make men give a shit about how women prefer
to be fucked" ?
mod6: dang, is
there any way
to msg
these guys?
shinohai: My first
time on
tor in months, immediately scammed mod6
mircea_popescu: i suppose
this is maybe worthy of a future news xtend ?
shinohai: Maybe he was
the admin of Hell, which explains why still no creds
this morning.
shinohai wonders if Preeeeet is muttering
to himself
this morning because he didn't get it.
mircea_popescu: a figure which strangely mimics
the way publishign works otherwise. what % of
the sale value of books ends up with
the authors ? what % of cd sales end up with
the studios, let alone
the artists ?
shinohai: Latest
trilema made me .... hungry.
mircea_popescu: all
this because opt-out is perfectly ok, even in 2014, if you're facebook. hurr.
mircea_popescu: ot without safeguards (because yes,
they're
THAT dedicated
to security) : first email received didn't get delivered, instead
they just sent a notification from facebook explaining... how
to opt out. after which
they sent all further emails straight up. consequently emailing
the entire facebook userbase was ~trivial.
mircea_popescu: summary : facebook gave everyone @facebook.com address back in 2012 (and forced everyone
to download a meanwhile failed "facebook messenger", before buying some
thing meanwhile forgotten for more play money
than ever seen before in any game of monopoly).
the user was simply
the facebook user.
then
they axed
this service... and started forwarding all mail
to
the user's personal inbox. because yes,
they're
THAT important. but n
diana_coman: BingoBoingo> lol diana_coman OMG

ben_vulpes: "Postfix uses file locking
to avoid access conflicts while updating Berkeley DB or other local database files.
This used
to be safe, but as Berkeley DB has evolved
to use more aggressive caching, file locking may no longer be sufficient." << oh ffs
jhvh1: BingoBoingo:
The operation succeeded.

BingoBoingo: The question of

BingoBoingo still unsure how many parts
the fanfic has. At least
two more are plotted out
mircea_popescu: lmao dis shit is epic. "I also noticed
that
there was
truly exquisite food on one side of
the room:
there was ham and salami and even sausages
that looked as exceptional as I had ever seen."
BingoBoingo: Anyways
the saga of Elliot and James is still not over.
ben_vulpes: couldn't
