No you cant really drastically improve your results from repeated resting. Ofcourse randomness in the questions is a given. Maybe a few points but no more than that.

I believe these apps allow you to do things that you cant easily do by hand.

If you use a sufficiently good passphrase on your degoogled phone, they cant bruteforce their way in, even with NSO group tools. Trying to come up with your own code is just foolish.

How would that cheese the test?

How can proton protect your unencrypted emails? Unless you are writing someone that also uses protonmail or pgp, the emails wont be encrypted. This is barely an advantage at all over the existing system. You are just telling people to depend on this single point of failure, which is proton.

You cant expect everyone to use protonmail, that would be unwise from a decentralization standpoint. The real solution is only using email for people that are unwilling or unable to use something other than email. For everyone else you should simply switch to different communications protocols that were made with e2ee in mind.

Surely there are fully offline and open source solutions to this right?

Edit: Yes there are. I dont menstruate and dont know enough details to check if this is a good app, but it looks very well made and clean. Its also available on all platforms and from Fdroid.

Ofcourse if the cops get access to your device then everything is joever no matter what you use.

Good PSA. Thank you.

Anything that can be powered by this research, can also be powered by a button sized battery for weeks if not not longer. I thinks its more intended for very off grid stuff but maybe im just too uncreative.

You are confusing what i am talking about. See my other response.

There are already lots of concepts for low power wireless communication for example LoRaWAN The issue is not the ISP its the technology used to establish a connection between devices. We need hardware that can run with the low power requirements that come with this research.

I agree its not exactly “the same” but that doesnt matter. There are indisputable massive violations of human rights and tons of warcrimes currently being commited. Thats plenty reason to exclude a country. Along those lines the active slavery nations US and China should be stripped of their flags and colors but we all know the powers that be wont allow that.

Maybe i left out too much context.

Im not talking about the research itself, but about how it could be utilized.

Their idea (having small devices that can be powered by nothing but stray radiowaves) apparently works and is great by itself.

However its usefullness is limited if you cant somehow connect those devices with the rest of the world. Thats the issue im complaining about.

Tomorrow: “Security researches find government backdoors installed on previously infected computers, because ya never know when you might need that right?”

Mensch ARD, so ist das nicht wirklich Nachrichten tauglich. Mit der Nutzer Zahl geht natürlich auch die Unfall Zahl nach oben. Das selbe bei Fahrrädern…

Wann lernen diese Lappen endlich wie man richtig Statistiken kontextualisiert.

I would find this super cool if it wasnt for the fact that all of the radio frequencies are owned by the military and corporations. Outdoor IoT could be amazing, but it is kind of dead because you cant actually connect it to the internet without laying down cable or using 4G which is horrible for low power applications.

Probably in reference to the athletes that have personally signed bombs dropped on Gaza. Although that one is a Ukrainian man competing for Israel.

Generally Israel shouldnt be allowed to compete officially the same as Russia. This is how politics works, the atrocities a state commits, should be expected to have consequences that affect their citizens. Not always fair, but thats how the world works.

You cant really do a lot of cheesing in an in person IQ test. If its online then sure.

I mean that just proves that love is love right? :)

Yeah no, that is revenue. Youtube is 10% of total Google/Alphabet revenue. That doesnt necessarily equate to 10% of profits.

I just read the summary of the movie and yeah that might become an issue if we arent careful. Im hesitant to completely denounce the concept tho, because its basically just selective abortion and who am i to interfere with a persons individual rights to abortion?
