Numworks is so much better. According to kids that have access to Ti and HP graphing calculators.

The hardware and software design similarities between this Evo and Numworks is a strong endorsement.

What if Iran refuses payment in USD? For reparations, tolls, or for future sale of oil?

An effort led by security research lab CovertLabs is actively uncovering troves of (mostly) AI-related App Store apps that leak and expose user data, including names, emails, and chat history.

Most apps on Firehound appear to expose data via improperly secured databases or cloud storage, and many listings disclose the underlying data schemas and record counts.

Apple/Google have the financial brawn to push a disrupting technology into more common use. And this is not encumbered by any restrictive licenses.

If your threat model includes the TLA types, then backup to a physical server you control in a location geographically isolated from your main location. Or to a local set of drives that you physically rotate to remote locations.

Decryption is not usually an issue if you encrypt locally.

Tools like Kopia, Borg and Restic handle this and also include deduplication and other advanced features.

Really no excuse for large orgs or even small businesses and somewhat tech literate public.

Thanks for posting. Love to see rust as strategic direction for MS and how they are using it in core OS, Azure and security areas, and much of it open source.

I still use https://sysinternals.com (though not via their live channel).

Install the wpad pkg and 802.11r should show up in wireless config screens. See https://forum.openwrt.org/t/802-11r-fast-roaming-in-luci/117...
