I'm having trouble figuring out who doesn't understand OSPF -- China Telecom or ZDNet.
Probably both.

Google's big outage also blocked access to the tools Google needed to fix it. It's clouds all the way down

Goohle are worried that a couple of thousand dedicated and motivated developers will build a new and much better phone OS in record time, eh?
I confess that it would be nice to use a phone OS that isn't entirely dedicated to spying on me. My android OS and apps are pretty much crippled because I have to disable so much, to stop google's spying.

Now most people in Alice's position would give up. Not Alice. She has courage which can only be described as awesome. Against all odds, over a noisy telephone line, tapped by the tax authorities and the secret police, Alice will happily attempt, with someone she doesn't trust, whom she cannot hear clearly, and who is probably someone else, to fiddle her tax returns and to organize a coup d'etat, while at the same time minimizing the cost of the phone call.
A coding theorist is someone who doesn't think Alice is crazy.
This's a fairly long read, but is well worth it for the entertainment if you've got 15 or 30 minutes to kill.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Malboard evades several detection products that are intended to continuously verify the user's identity based on personalized keystroke characteristics. So it also hits the backspace key all the time?

I didn't expect anyone to pick it up and run with it!

After Google successfully beat back Triada in 2017, its developers found a new way in. Think of how much time this saves the users from getting infected
|
|

Amen to that. People used to have to download viruses. Now we can just have the phones built with them already installed. Efficiency at its finest. Now all they need is data analytics to figure out which malware I'm going to need next.

Google is reportedly arguing that cutting Huawei off from Android threatens US security
Ummmm...yeah.

I was just about to say that Huawei had a party to celebrate the win.

A new algorithm developed by researchers from Stanford University, Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Princeton University, and Adobe makes it possible to alter human speech in a video, just by changing the text in its transcript. You won't believe what *he* said this time!

A certain very tech-savvy person who has rejected Huawei's 5G in favour of the USA's 6G, and who lives in a certain-coloured house, asked if it were possible to do the same with twitter messages.

Soapbox response: Oddly enough, the researchers found the algorithm was unable to modify the phrase, "I'm a very stable genius" to anything else.

They wiped 100,000 pictures of celebs?
Why, because no-one wanted it?
I just searched for "celeb headshot" and got about 60,000,000 results.

1790000 results for me.
And I'm happy to report that it didn't mean what i thought it did.

Maintain? C'mon, Kent Sharkey is the definition hip and groovy!

The latest updates for Windows 10 version 1809 and Windows Server 2019 could prevent Internet Explorer 11 from launching if there is no default search provider or a malformed one is configured for the browser. How will I download Chrome then?

They should stop announcing what's new, with each update.
"What's broken" is more appropriate.
