No room in the Security topics?
This topic has totally strayed from it’s actual beginning.
One liners or headlines where never it’s intended subject matter. Thanks

I have to agree with bob on this.
The one liners here do not seem to advise on Interesting Software and Systems, which I believe to be wider than just security software and vulnerabilities.
I also have to say the “Technical” thread has also become similarly restricted. IMO.

IMHO, quantity is not and has never been a substitute for quality and detailed information.

Elon Musk says Neuralink chip will let you stream music into your brain

https://www.digitaltrends.com/news/elon-musk-says-neuralink-chip-will-stream-music-into-your-brain/

Not sure if this is even close to being On Topic - Interesting Software and System News

I would take what Elon Musk says with a very large pinch of salt. Easy to say futuristic cr4p like this as it is unlikely to come to fruition in my lifetime, not that I would ever fancy having a neuralink fitted if it were. The IOT things presents many security issues since this brainwave (excuse the pun) came to fruition. God knows what could be uploaded to your neuralink or its security/privacy issues.

Even if this does come to fruition I’m sure there will be many hoops to jump through before it would be allowed to be implanted/used.

OH wasn’t there a neuraling sort of gismo in the film Kingsmen that had every ones head exploding :slight_smile:

No Thanks Elon Musk.

To me this sounds like a possible great advance for those severely hearing impaired.

Doesn’t the cochlear implant already do that ?

One has to do with the auditory nerve. Musk’s would bypass that all together.

@DavidR. “BBC Tomorrows World” come to mind?
This is a proper example of Interesting Software and Systems News.
Never say never.

Problems your your font size again, size 2px and not size 2, I modified the quoted text

Believe me the original wasn’t, I change the quoted text, but you have since changed the original (after my post) and that looks fine.

How to improve your privacy in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and Brave

Edited to remove tagging from hyperlink. Sorry guys. :-[
@rocksteady
You should always hover over any link or hyperlink before clicking, anyway. As we see here, the destination can be easily modified.

@Simion,
Links like yours above that only show a title but not the destination webpage (unless you mouse hover) are not nice.
Prefer this:
https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-improve-browser-privacy-in-chrome-safari-firefox-edge-brave

Hovering the mouse over the text shows the underlying link.

But what I don’t like about that link is all of the tag cr4p after it.
