Fair, and appears I missed the first part "Use of Korean language".

The OCR still tells us more about the target than the actor, but I guess they are suggesting the choice of target itself is the indicator.

> Attribution Scenarios: Option A: DPRK Operator Embedded in PRC

> Use of Korean language, OCR targeting of Korean documents, and focus on GPKI systems strongly suggest North Korean origin.

I'm don't follow how needing OCR to read Korean documents points to them being North Korean?

Could also point in the opposite direction of them needing to copy the text for translation.

My link isn't a study it's a layman's terms explanation, but there are lots of studies. Your link mentions a meta analysis of 7 studies concluding that up to 90% is genetic.

Yes environmental factors are there too, otherwise it would be 100%, but there's enough evidence pointing to genetics that it is really disappointing when people try to find spurious links to false causes instead.

Twin studies are a classic demonstration of this: comparing identical twins to non-identical twins lets us prove a genetic component.

Misuse the trademarks licensed to one of their competitors while relying on that competitor to provide them infrastructure for software updates and provide product improvements.

Adjusting their product names sounds like a small change they could have made to avoid antagonising a close partner.

Running their own plug-in mirror infrastructure is something companies often do to reduce the risk from relying on a third party.

Similarly having some stake in the development of WordPress reduces risk of them being shut out if there is a license change that necessitates a fork.

Less about caving in on wishes as more that it's risky to choose both to rely on a third party and wind them up at the same time.

I had a similar experience in 2015: a doctor was trying to prescribe a choice between Venlafaxine (Effexor) and Duloxetine (Cymbalta) as third line ADHD medications. I was astounded that they didn't know that brain zaps were a common side effect and brought up some papers to show them. They apologized and indicated that they would likely stop prescribing them.

I was skeptical when they mentioned that other doctors had been promoting these drugs at gatherings, but what irritated me most was that they didn't have access to the research discussing the known side effects because the journals were behind a paywall. A willingness to pirate / use Google scholar to bypass paywalls shouldn't have been necessary to know about safety issues for a drug.

So late to the VR headset market they thought they needed to stick googly eyes on it... dunno maybe I'm missing something?

Chrome as a project was still a Google thing even if they used Konqueror's rendering library.

The process model was the novel selling point at the time from my memory [1].

How much of the speedup comes from more efficient memory usage vs faster memory access times and faster CPU?

I wouldn't expect lightweight office use to be primarily limited by the amount of memory available so perhaps that isn't a fair comparison still.

Battery life is significant worse with 32GB ram and laptop reviews often place heavy emphasis on battery life. By offering an 8Gb base model for reviews the manufacturer ensures their laptop will score well in reviews, even if users end up buying a higher spec laptop. It also allows users who want to multitask less to get more out of their laptop.

On desktop the impact of power consumption is lower, so it is better to offer a slightly higher spec base model.

Unlocking the password manager means I need to type a master password in while in a public place. Feels higher risk when it is an unimportant website but potentially gives access to all websites. Still better than the passwords being accessible on disk but having individual passwords would reduce the impact of any password leak.

Our machines always had Cookie Pal [0] installed on them, and it allowed per domain settings for rejecting cookies and control over third party cookies [1].

> Cookie Pal includes the following features:

> Automatically and transparently accepts or rejects cookies from all or specified servers without user interaction.

> Cookies received from unspecified servers can be automatically accepted or rejected without user interaction, or the user can be asked for confirmation.

> "On the fly" adding of servers to the accept from and reject from lists, allows you to manually accept or reject a cookie the first time it is received and then have it automatically accepted or rejected every time it is received thereafter.
