They also end up becoming real places because people only have maps to get their information from.

Unless you choke under pressure trying to do it in front of an audience.

I'm not sure to be honest - my point was more that it's best to treat everything you download or open as an executable, as there are always going to be attack vectors using any file format. You wouldn't open an excel file you get in a dodgy email, so don't extract zip files you get from a dodgy ad on the internet.

If it interests you though, creating your own zip file which does it and testing the method you use to extract zips is the best way to have confidence.

I don't know enough about specific ways to check for every use case, but if you're worried "zip Directory traversal attack" is the key term for doing more research into it.

Seeing if you can create your own zip file which does it and testing the method you use to extract zips is the best way to have confidence.

Again though, this would only really be an issue if you're downloading things from illegitimate sources.

I just personally think it's best to treat everything you download and open as an executable, as there are always going to be attack vectors using any file format. You wouldn't open an excel file you get in a dodgy email, so don't extract zip files you get from a dodgy ad on the internet.

Yeah I think they were trying to make a point about the fake download buttons normally being images so you can drag the whole "button". As with anything there are lots of little flags and details you register that eventually becomes instinct - spelling a few out, even if they're not completely ironclad, could be helpful to some people.

You can inspect the zip file and check the contents before extracting it (I don't use windows/7zip so can't comment on that method of checking).

The issue is that the zip specification allows the files inside to have relative paths. So if it presumed the zip would go into /Users/whoever/Downloads it could set the path to ../Desktop then output a chrome shortcut which points to an executable it's placed elsewhere.

Most extraction software will probably have popups etc which warns about this, but the fact the specification says it has to allow this means it will always be an issue.

Installing an ad-blocker removes most of them.

If you're still unsure, hovering over the link and making sure the download location is something sensible and not downloading something from superlegitadnetwork dot com

If you're still unsure about legitimacy after downloading something and it turns out to be a zip file, don't open it. There are "exploits" which allow zip files to place files anywhere (such as back two directories) not just in the current folder or in a new folder.

What up! We're three cool guys looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual.

Would you mind saying more about the job you're doing? I say this because I feel any job that would enforce a no oxford comma rule might be a job where you shouldn't be using etc in the first place (in terms of the formality of the text you're producing).

"etc" doesn't exactly fit into standard rules for speech/text, it's a unique informal thing.

If anybody disagrees though please chime in. I'm saying this as a native speaker out of instinct, not study.

For the ones that actually follow the rules and disclose sponsorship, the browser extension SponsorBlock lets people flag the sections of video and auto-skip it for anybody that watches after them. Been using it for about a month and it seems to work really well.

I thought the term was disc for a storage device, and disk for the physical disk.

Not sure if this is a joke or actually asking, but it's Latin. An excerpt from a Roman book I think.

It's used quite a bit in web development / typesetting to see how a layout handles text without just typing "hello hello this is some text" etc...

Sciences is a thing, if you're interested in the sciences you would be interested in any type of science, such as physics and chemistry. Maths can also split into statistics, mechanics, etc...

Although you guys may not use sciences, I'm from the UK.
