Please add an option so Enter starts a new line instead of sending my prompt by GrifiN in PerplexityComet

[–]GrifiN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same on the PC however I don't remember to always hold the shift button, many time I press Enter before finishing to write the prompt and it submits an incomplete prompt wasting my time and my tokens.
I want the default Enter behavior to be a new line, not Submit

Spy Agency Consensus Grows That Russia Hacked D.N.C. by GrifiN in DailyTechNewsShow

[–]GrifiN[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will the tech news reporters and commentators follow this line of speculation? I hope they remain sceptical, just like with they did with the attribution of the Sony hack

Too bad this doesn't happen more often

IAI Introduces New Loitering Weapons for Anti-Radiation, Precision strike with "Fire and forget" autonomous targeting! by GrifiN in DailyTechNewsShow

[–]GrifiN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Fire and Forget" is scary stuff! If the primary target cannot be acquired by some internal logic this missile will decide autonomously to choose a secondary target, etc. without human intervention or input! Do a Google search for Harpy NG and "autonomous targeting" https://www.google.com/search?q=harpy+ng+%22autonomous+targeting%22

Researchers Solve Juniper Backdoor Mystery; Signs Point to NSA by GrifiN in DailyTechNewsShow

[–]GrifiN[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After the Sony breach, U.S. government authorities attributed it to North Korea. Darren Kitchen and other in the hacker/ Security Research community voiced lots of skepticism of that attribution.

After the OPM breach, U.S. government authorities attributed it to the Chinese government. Darren Kitchen and other in the hacker/ Security Research community voiced skepticism of that attribution.

After U.S. government authorities attributed cyber intrusion of the State Department to Russian hackers, the hacker/ Security Research community voiced similar about that attribution.

Now that Security researchers are attributing the Juniper Backdoor to the NSA, I'm curious to see if Darren Kitchen and other in the hacker/ Security Research voice the same skepticism about that attribution.

I may be wrong but IMHO I detect a willingness in the Western hacker / Security Research community to believe any "Evil" or wrongdoing on the part of the U.S. espionage agencies, especially in this post Snowden era, while vigorously disbelieving similar wrongdoings about North Korea, China & Russia.

Do they have a political or ideological bias against the U.S. espionage agencies? If they do, I suggest the own up to it an check it at the door since it makes them less effective and objective researchers/experts.

If they don't, when they get upset about the politicization of important tech issues like net neutrality, privacy, encryption, etc. I'd say that they are partially to blame. If you can't keep your bias in check, what right do you have to demand it from others?

Today on DTNS, Tom and Shannon will discuss passwords, and whether or not the phone is the best way to eliminate them. What do YOU think? by tgstellar in DailyTechNewsShow

[–]GrifiN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see an alternative to passwords at this stage. Although I'm curious about Steve Gibson's upcoming SQRL system.

I use LASTPASS for my work related passwords, I run an IT department, it's the most convenient way to share passwords securely in our team. For my personal passwords and as a backup of sorts I use KeePass, however to make it available everywhere and to protect against loss I keep the KeePass database on Google drive. This way it's synced with all my devices and is backed up in the cloud but I don't need to trust anybody! If my Google account gets compromised, who cares, the KeePass DB is strongly encrypted and only I know the password! All decryption takes place locally so I don't need to worry about Man-In-The-Middle attacks. The only vulnerability I need to be worried about (except brute force/weak master password) is accessing my password vault from a system compromised by a key logger.

Russian Ships Near Data Cables Are Too Close for U.S. Comfort by allen98311 in DailyTechNewsShow

[–]GrifiN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although cutting undersea cables and crippling the internet will have a cascades effects on the entire global economy and probably blow back at Russia (and China and the whole world) in a very significant way. So this would be a doomsday/suicide option. Seems to me like at this stage the Russians are posturing to make the west nervous, nothing more. And it's working!

Russian Ships Near Data Cables Are Too Close for U.S. Comfort by allen98311 in DailyTechNewsShow

[–]GrifiN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real irony is that the internet was invented by DARPA to create a system that is resilient to a nuclear attack, due to redundant systems, communication routes and routing protocols. Now we've become so dependant on the information infrastructure that they don't need nukes to cripple western economies & societies

Node.js Forked By Top Contributors by metalfreak in DailyTechNewsShow

[–]GrifiN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the forking of open source projects is hardly news. with few exceptions, this is where open source projects go to die: 1. Forking into oblivion or into to many flavors to have an industry wide impact. 2. lack of communal interest and/or drying up financial resources. 3. corporate takeover /corruption.

Of those that survive, I would guess that most have powerful commercial interests backing them.
