There are many small shops that swap batteries just fine in an hour, at least in Europe.

This method is really simple for Chrome, Firefox and other OpenSSL apps: https://wiki.wireshark.org/TLS#using-the-pre-master-secret

You set an environment variable to instruct the app the write a file that Wireshark can use to decrypt its traffic, and change a setting in Wireshark to use that file, and that's it.

You will even be able to see decrypted WebRTC traffic.

It can pick up on inconsistencies, especially when pointed out, and can say it was wrong, and try to reconcile the information.

This sounds like an easy way to keep the players in sync. That is important if you have multiple players nearby each other on the same corridor.

Displays often support input switching using DDC/CI, so a simple script should allow you to switch all the displays over.

I think the idea is that if one in a loyalty program, and it provides them with some discount/benefits, then they are more likely to shop there instead of at some other chain. This way they spend their money at that chain, and that is good for the store. It's just one more way stores are competing with each other. It also provides the chain with some data, but I am uncertain of its utility. I don't really believe it to be useful for them in general for anything other than targeting.

The way she put it led me to believe that there were significant non-rubel monetary assets inside the country, which I could totally believe to be true.

I remember hearing on France 24 (from Anastasiya Shapochkina iirc) when the sanctions were just being introduced that the sanctions would effectively make it cheaper for Russia to finance the war as most their monetary assets are in foreign currencies while most of their expenses are in rubel.

Google Sheets is canvas-based. I don’t remember anyone being upset about that.

I remember reading that card transactions have different costs aspects for the parties involved depending on if the card is actually physically present at the time of purchase. And iirc Apple managed to convince the banking sector that Apple Pay is equivalent to chip card security, so that they get better rates.

According to reddit, Apple Pay works on jailbroken devices, but still, something like this might be at play in all the other similar scenarios.

Good point about the experimental Tor support and the Onion IPFS gateways.

Is there a reasonable way to use untrusted gateways while upholding the data integrity guarantees? I think it should be possible in theory.

I understand that no one is going to tamper with the data. Everybody (who is running a full node) is gonna get what they ask for, but then they are gonna go and announce it to the world that they have it, and that worries me privacy-wise.
