Google will just say that pages with DRM will rank higher in their search and it's all done.

I used to rip Amiga game soundtracks by putting a tape recorder near the TV speaker. This will work for any DRM content :) Obviously it is lossy, you would need a recorder of some form and it will take a long time for audiobooks. My tape deck had a turbo feature... you could try playing audiobooks faster and then reduce the speed of the recording if such option exists.

If you have a computer with line-in input this will work better than acoustic-coupling :)

As the old Gentoo mantra goes: stuff breaks so you can learn things :D

If you put all the effort and learning needed to keep Windows from fucking you over, into learning Linux you would not only be an expert user buy now, but also potentially could build a good career around that knowledge as it is actually useful.

I think that all this ad driven businesses did in the last decade was to undermine trust in technology in general. Nothing can function without trust...

MacOS used to be a good option for developers targeting Linux: UNIX under the good and nice UI on top. You can install most Linux program with brew and the like under MacOS.

So I move from Linux to MacOS when first MacBook Air was released but since them moved back to Linux. MacOS today feels way more like Windows (poor quality, pushing users around, outdated desktop paradigms wise)... I can't stand it any more. In the mean time Linux got Wayland and Sway and other different desktops available. Distros like Void Linux make the experience very stable, comfortable and hackable.

Looks like reporters are forced to use capitalistic term on anything they write about: "Silicon Valley venture capital firms", "fast-growing social media platform", "US-based investors", "rival sites", "sole shareholder". Like their are paid for each use :D

Also 'so-called “federated” system' LOL

 

So one could have replace a JS file with one fetched from attacker controlled server for any site behind Akamai like LastPass or PayPal. That JS could have exfiltrated all the secrets from these sites on the client side (post decryption) or replace account numbers with their own on behalf of the user.

 

Like NVIDIA, Microsoft was able to stanch some of the bleeding, cutting off LAPSUS$’s illicit access while the group was in the process of downloading all of the available source code repositories alphabetically (the group publicized their access to Microsoft at the same time they were downloading the software giant’s source code). As a result, LAPSUS$ was only able to leak the source for Microsoft products at the beginning of the code repository, including Azure, Bing and Cortana.

 

“Norton is pretty much amplifying energy consumption worldwide, costing their customers more in electricity use than the customer makes on the mining, yet allowing Norton to make a ton of profit,” tweeted security researcher Chris Vickery. “It’s disgusting, gross, and brand-suicide.”
