I refuse to use the Zoom client on my computer and instead use the web client. There might not be 1:1 feature parity, but it’s never been a problem for me with other people.

My take on it is there’s more downside doing the facial scan than opting out. The worst case is the scan can miss-identify you and then you get pulled aside for questioning. The worst case for opting out is raising suspicion with an agent? Sure all the security cameras could be doing facial recognition and come up with false positives, but why add another opportunity to be misidentified by doing the scan?
It also takes longer for the scan. I was with a group and figured I’d hold everyone up so positioned myself last, and it was 2 seconds to hand them my ID. The only way this the scan is more convenient is for people who don’t care to pull out their ID or are too timid to say “no facial”
Maybe you can check the manual if the laptop has a CMOS battery. If it does, you’ll have to take apart the laptop to remove the battery for a few minutes, which will reset all the settings.
Are CMOS batteries still a thing? Removing that and the laptop battery should wipe the BIOS to the default settings. Actually before that, can you reset the BIOS settings with the admin password, and will that wipe the user password settings?
Seems like the store is down or not loading, at least for me. My bank account is happy at least.

Pretty sure this is not the crying OP is looking for
Thanks! Happy belated cake day to you too
I think I read somewhere that this would be the default for new instances if they don’t have one of their own. On an existing instance, the server admin would have to remove the existing license which would then load this license. So this could affect more than just mastodon.social.
That being said, since this was brought up, it has been put on pause while it is reevaluated
I have good memories of LAN parties playing a game called DEFCON which is basically the Thermonuclear War game from the 80s movie Wargames. The game itself is fairly basic but was a blast to play with a group and I am a sucker for the retro vector atheistics.
Not sure if Netflix counts, but I watched Dear Zachary on there and it broke me for a while.
This is the correct answer. The only thing I would add is some devices don’t allow changing the DNS IPs and are hard coded to 8.8.8.8 so Google blocking sites via DNS is still an issue. Of course you could intercept these requests, but with DNS over HTTPS becoming more popular, i would imagine that device manufactures will also start to do certificate pinning as well to prevent people from using their own DNS server.
Adding some more people haven’t mentioned:
Do you live near where that happened, or in another state? I had to uninstall Citizen because it felt like it was just pushing fear stories directly to my brain, and kept wanting me to pay them for more of that, and a private 911 service? No thanks
Yeah, in my case, I wasn’t familiar with the settings for Cloudtrail Data Events, and didn’t realize you could select which events to log, based on the actor or resource, as opposed to all events in DynamoDB. That would have saved me a lot processing power to filter the logs to look for the actions I was looking for.
It’s possible that they discovered a weakness in the way the keys are generated in the TPM (or whatever it’s called for Android), which brings the time to brute force down from 1,000 years to a few weeks with massive GPUs?
Similar story, as of a few years ago, OpenSSH announced deprecating support for RSA keys keys because of a vulnerability in SHA-1 hashing, where they cited research showing a determined attacker could break the key with $50k of compute power, which may seem like a lot, but is pretty feasible, necessitating the deprecation
It is now possible [1] to perform chosen-prefix attacks against the SHA-1 hash algorithm for less than USD $50K. For this reason, we will be disabling the “ssh-rsa” public key signature algorithm that depends on SHA-1 by default in a near-future release.
I don’t know about the Android system, but during the initial design and fabrication, the hardware may have not been designed to withstand the compute power just a few years later, and can not be easily updated to improve the security. These are the weaknessed Cellebrite is looking for.
I enabled Cloudtrail to log all DynamoDB read/write data events when trying to troubleshoot an issue. Even though I only left this enabled for a few days, the Cloudtrail line item was $5k more than it should have been. My back of the napkin math with assumptions came out to be 100 times less than that, so I had a really awkward support email asking them to reverse the charges, which they did fortunately.
There was a good episode of Planet Money where they interviewed some doctors who were trying to get rid of beepers at their hospital. Basically during testing, it was found that when using an app to send messages to doctors, it was almost too simple and non critical messages were being sent to doctors. This was creating a lot of noise and causing them to be overwhelmed and ignoring the notifications on the phone. It seemed as though the clunkyness of paging someone was a feature so that doctors on call were actually getting relevant information.
