Chromium shift
  • Kiwi it's interesting not a security hardened Chromium fork, it is the only one to offer immediate access to browser extensions.

    Should probably only use it the way you would use a Gecko browser, that is sparingly and when you need use of specific extensions for whatever reason.

  • Australia’s media concentration ranked second-worst in world as experts call for levy on tech firms
  • Nine

    Both Nine and Murdoch believe the same things, but Nine is more openly corrupt and tacky i.e. directly hosting Liberal party fundraisers.

    If you want to see how fucked up their media market is, and have time to kill, go search for Australian news newspapers, websites, and TV news networks.

    And whichever ones appear well-funded and mainstream, check out the Wikipedia for corporate ownership.

    Sometimes they'll get sneaky, and they'll just list a person to make it appear independent. If so, search for which Media group they were an executive in just before "founding" whatever outlet or publication you're looking at.

    But aside from their destroyed public broadcaster (ABC), it'll be one of those two megacorps, or occasionally, one of their "former" executives fronting for an "independent" outlet.

  • AUKUS navies remote-control ships from 10,000 miles away in experiment
  • It's not where I'm coming from, I'm just repeating various means, methods, and technologies, that are currently being used, or are documented requirements for current nextgen programs, by the DoD.

    Here's just one example of an existing platform, with the technologies that you're alleging can't, or don't, exist: Ghost Bat (MQ-28A)

    And that's just a single platform, within a much larger DoD program: Loyal Wingman.

    Also, I never said it wasn't a constant race with measures, countermeasures, and counter-counter measures. I was just simply keeping my comments short and to the point of the question asked.

  • Britain to return Chagos Islands to Mauritius ending years of dispute
  • Overseas colonies are expensive, when they can't be brutally exploited, and the UK doesn't have an expansive global empire to suck the resources from anymore.

    It does look like a sticking point here was a strategically significant FOB, Diego Garcia, which will not be handed back over.

    So the UK has to suffer another embarrassment that reminds them they're no longer a global superpower, but they also get to save some money, and retain access to an important strategic asset.

    They might also get some good press for continuing decolonization, I can't speak to that, as I'm not sure how, or where, they might have felt any real political pressure over this.

  • Any remotelink is vulnerable to jamming attacks, but those aren't novel issues.

    There are many ways to mitigate and bypass the jamming attacks, including operating different control links, or multiple different bands, hopping, etc.

    This is also where "AI" or advanced algorithms might come in, and enable the platform to continue on to its objectives unaided, or initiate some sort of failsafe to regain communication links, etc.

    On a somewhat related note, this is similar to why 6th gen aircraft will include stealthy manned platforms, that are in close proximity to command and control various drone wingman platforms, as opposed to being remotely piloted from a Nevada Airbase.

  • Bong Joon-ho Leads Protest Against Korean Police and Media Following Suicide of Actor Lee Sun-kyun
  • ...he made the tragic choice to end his life after a third 19-hour police summons...

    The article doesn't make it appear like they are asking for, or suggesting, drug law reform. They're only advocating that the police treat investigations into pop-culture artists with more care...?

    Maybe that's just Variety's spin on it, but that's what the article makes it appear like.

    Can anyone with more knowledge, or who speaks Korean, clarify if that's accurate?

  • Comcast says hackers stole data of close to 36 million Xfinity customers
  • Basically this data included customer details on 36 million customers, and Xfinity only has 32 million active customers...

    They've already admitted it includes all plaintext customer details (names, address, last 4 SSN, etc.), and their password hashes, but no info on what hashing function was used to make them, or if they were salted.

    This is just what they've admitted. Who wants to place bets on whether they also got all the customer data that shouldn't be legal to collect, but is e.g. browsing habits, traffic analysis, user/household metadata?
