(as a devops/security minded engineer) ...and companies wonder how supply chain attacks are possible

I recall there was an outage 6 years ago. And many companies migrated to dot com over night.

My previous company used Cloudinary for the purpose and amazingly lot of time was saved.

Most Indian Banking services, Payment endpoints, OTT platforms have adapted phone numbers as identity.

Your phone number is your identity. You can receive or send money only through your phone if the SIM is installed and validated by sending an SMS.

Getting a replacement SIM card requires physical verification using Aadhar (Identity service) with One Time Password validation (Email/SMS). Once the new SIM is active, you will not receive any SMS for the first 24 hours after getting a replacement SIM card. This is to reduce the attack surface of SIM Swap attacks.

Wait! Why not bitcoin?

Pointing to cloudflare dns circumvents the issue for now.

move away from ISP DNS to 1.1.1.1 to temporarily solve the issue.

Short answer: it depends

Subscriptions lock you in on various levels. It’s very similar to renting a house. You can get kicked out by the owner.

Subscriptions for individuals is different from subscriptions for companies. Companies want to optimise time, individuals may want to optimise cost

personally, I am inclined to pay for IDEs as I spend more than 50% of the time on it, but not so much similar amounts when I use tools no more than 5-10 times a day.

I let my subscription expire about 3 months ago. (CC handling changes in India, you know)

I have only updated about 3-4 passwords out of 100s of items I store. This has been a realisation for me.

1pass, leaves the account in read only mode since it comes from your local storage anyway.

I need to get familiarised with the Bitwarden UI, its not very similar to 1pass, so there is a adoption curve. Hosted Bitwarden with the rust variant option is an option to consider.

Yes agreed. Assuming software engineering context here, not civil or mechanical or other mature industries which usually require millions to create, validate, test and release a new product.

Negotiation of requirements is a problem based on limitations like recources (money, people), known knows and known unknowns.

Requirements is a communication and expectation problem. Not an engineering problem.

Software or hardware engineering is a solution. You can solve the same with a pen and paper if you know what the user needs.

Agile is a way to iteratively validate expectations and revisit and update things with minimal wastage

I have bookmarked this a while ago. May not be open source, and does not use the internet to convert. Would work for many use cases, but wont be as good as Google's AI.

works with just the browser with help of webkitSpeechRecognition built into the browser. Works on both Chrome and Safari (not Firefox).

This issue has also affected our ability to post updates to the Service Health Dashboard.

looks like a circular dependency to be fixed.

Mobile Apps are open source, this is not an self hosted solution.

wait, don't they have a legal entity registered in Ireland?

Interesting to see they have cheaper pricing in India - $5/month for a family subscription - https://www.apple.com/in/apple-one/

Usually, the hardware usually costs 30-40% more in India than the advertised price in the US.

Only $5/month for a family subscription in India - https://www.apple.com/in/apple-one/

and there is inlets too https://github.com/inlets/inletsctl

Intel (the chipmaker) uses the linux kernel to fix flaws found in the hardware. see if you can identify who would want the ownership around that.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/x86/microcode.html

Look at the specification. If something does not behave as expected, that entity is the owner. In case of Intel processor vulnerabilities and other ones, the hardware is the fault as per my understanding.

Since you are asking about software vulnerabilities and since a vulnerability is supposed to be fixed, the onus is on the provider to fix it, but the IP could be owned by the hacker. Its a vulnerability if its known the company. If not, its an exploit the hacker can use.

And it's the same pixel that is sent to all the recepients since the email is a carbon copy so impossible to distinguish between the recipients by name.

Without going into the technical details - whenever you send a carbon copy email, its not a single email when you send an email to say 3 people, email providers charge you per recipient. That means they send 1 separate email per receipient.

if you want to consider the tech details, the email protocol opens a connection per user mailbox and sends over the body of the email to them. (that's the reason you get spam in gmail even though your email is not present in either the to or cc addresses).

if you have email aliases, try this, user+1@gmail.com and user+2@gmail.com, the reciepient should see 2 emails if sent from outside the gmail network, but would be 1 if from within gmail (since email server may de-dupe)

What you are saying will be true if you are sending to an email list. (like google groups or opensource discussion groups)
