Raspberry Pi celebrates fourth birthday with fruity version 3

Superb thin/thick clients

Lubuntu + LTSP being served from a NAS to 10 raspberry pi and six re-purposed x86 desktops has saved a bunch of cash and opened up a bunch of opportunities for the school I help admin at.

In simple bang:buck ratio, nothing comes close.

literally the only issue I have with Win10 on the phone is the constant barrage of bleating attacks from the echo chambers.

Otherwise it's perfectly lovely, and the camera is quite simply outstanding.

Re: Explain please

Remember the bit where when Apple ship a product to a vendor, the vendor agrees to pay in advance?

Any old stock not sold stays on the vendors books.

It was covered here a while back (around the 5C), not much came of it which is a shame because its a despicable model.

Edward Snowden denies making a deal with the Russian secret service

jesus wept

the usb handed over had a key

without detailed knowledge of what and where the key would work it's useless

the time in hong kong was a consolidated training program to ensure the security of access to the data

the data is on an amazon vm, with enough credit for a few years

the 4096 bit key is required to access it

the access gives you a live snapshot/clone of the gchq wiki upto 2013

the wiki was simply scraped using a slow running wget and then recompiled

the wget was run from other peoples accounts where he snowjobbed people into allowing a password reset - this means very little is likely to have been done from his own accounts - (likely clappers etc - thats why they dont want to and cant possibly account for the full number of documents even at this stage)

bear in mind: there is literally nothing to say he wasnt able to use his privac to generate fake CIA/NSA employees with TS type access, and lol - also nothing to say they aren't still sending him a monthly paycheck

This was all explained in the releases, assertions beyond this are the 50c, 50p, 50fen sockpuppet army period

Re: Number sequence

Here is available on all 8.1 devices.

It's actually awesome to not be tied to two devices (GPS & phone) when its been obvious for eon that one could easily master both. Here isn't too heavy on the battery in my experience of the 920 & 1520. I have a 1520 which has fantastic battery life (2 days no issue).

I was a bit disappointed to see the SD card thing come up again. It's not like anyone criticises Apple for its no SD card and connectors any more.

Otherwise, glad to see some positive stuff about winpho for a change.

GJ RWB, took you long enough!

Admittedly there wasn't a metric shit load of conclusive evidence before now, but, it was never not obvious what was going on - only the most naive assumed it wasn't happening.

I think at best the gargantuan scale of the operation is the only real surprise.

Having said that, I'm not sure what people thought 10 billion dollars bought. The Utah building tipped their hand in a fairly major way.

poor form chaps

Why the ad hom "blabbermouth"?

It's not seemly and it doesn't seem in keeping, especially since I'm pretty sure "Mastering the Internet" was reported here way before Snowden got involved.

Is it because he's apparently lifted the entirety of the GCHQ wiki?
