Trying to imagine what precedent they'd argue allows this. Is this same as grabbing small part of fingerprint, using AI to complete fingerprint, then looking for match against fingerprint database?

“How much of a problem, in your view, is Gary Lineker?” Were we discussing Spurs forwards in the early Nineties? Of course not. We were watching GB News in the hour before dawn…

Two weeks ago, @ollieatnowhere mentioned¹ being able to generate DNS/HTTP requests when viewing QT & MP4 files.

Our Gerrie Crafford took a swing at building it into a reliable Canarytoken & wrote about the process² https://t.co/j3atWcwH48

The loss or outright disappearance of web content (blogs, etc.) in the #CTI space is probably the greatest threat to projects such as @MITREattack as various #infosec mergers and acquisitions destroy repositories of public knowledge... pic.twitter.com/jgiCWs773O

1/ On the EU Giving Up

Some highlights

4/ So the panel discussion turned to "What should the EU do?"

And the more or less unanimous conclusion (except for the entrepreneur) was "We are going to build on the success of GDPR and aim to be the REGULATORY LEADER of machine learning"

I literally laughed out loud

10/ Industrial capacity is dual use. If you can make cars, you can make tanks.

If you can make self-driving cars, you can make self-flying drones.

And while maybe in the future we will have peace in our times, today the world is still a rough place

Android app that runs Windows apps under WINE

Uses Box64 to emulate an x86 Linux box then runs WINE inside that. With all those emulation layers I wonder how responsive the windows apps will even be. Not to mention trying to use a windows app designed for a PC on a 4cm x 15cm touch screen will be an absolute joy. Still. Very cool project
