It is my understanding that Apple Pay generates a random number to send to the vendor when you buy something online, instead of your actual card number. Could you explain this process?
John Smith
I don’t know how they do it but I would do it by keeping everything important at Apples servers and sharing a tag. When the user wants to pay to the tag, Apples server replaces the tag with the associated account and completes the transaction.
Jeremy Richard
Could be similar to Lithic cards which are like vpn for your credit cards online and if you only want 1 month of netflix you just use that card
Techlore
TLDR: Shift of a trust to Apple instead of each individual company with your payment information. For most people, not a bad trade-off, but still centralizes your payment info with Apple. Generally speaking, this is Apple’s game in most products/services they offer:
1st vs 3rd party privacy are an important discussion probably not had enough in the privacy world.

You guys are seriously underated

It doesn’t matter to be underrated or famous, even this guy he’s not doing that for fam , Are you giving value that helps people this is the purpose, we know that most of world people are stupid and follow trash but these kind of guys are giving big value to us and we appreciate that so much 🙏
Explorer
I don’t think that HTTPS everywhere is pointless, even with modern browsers it have saved me to open harmful links while watching football or rugby online (yes in that way) as those pesky website are inundate with dodgy ads.
Explorer
@Marcel Martinez Thank you, I am not a Chrome user though, but the answer that follow yours said Firefox also implemented the feature, I acted accordingly, cheers.

@Google Police the problem is there are some settings that cannot be changed in my laptop and browser which otherwise will fcuk things up in my work pc which is a nightmare to set right again
xDrako94
@A440 Will that “HTTPS-only” mode also force all connections of a website to use https?
e.g. Youtube.. obviously the active tab is using https but what about the connections that YT is using in the backgroung like doubleclick, google services, etc.?
CGoody 564
@pavan changing your browser settings to force HTTPS should not effect your work PC in any negative manner, even if they’re synced
Rohith Kumar
@Google Police not even tone is an it expert, and extension is just simpler.

Off-site incremental backups. Why corporations _still_ aren’t doing that is pure negligence and they should be held liable.
Dale D
Don’t be so melodramatic.

@Muskrat7
But it does enable quick recovery with minimal losses. A more secure door only slows down those that want in. Also doesn’t matter how secure the door is, if the wall it’s mounted to is weak. Suits ain’t exactly known to have good opsec.
Muskrat7
@Rocky Tom well from my years in IT most had decemt backups and few had even security 101 implemented but yes backups are good and hopefully the hack doesnt steal or encrypt those too lol
Rocky Tom
@Muskrat7
Yeah, offgrid backups are for that. First, local backup, at site, then remote, away from site, then a isolated backup, one that’s used only if all else fails. That’s how I was taught to handle mission critical data, cause it’s easier to tell the board that you gotta spend money, than to tell them all their client and system data is gone. You can’t hack a backup that’s not networked into anything, short of breaking into the facility.
TheRealFallenDemon
Big advocate of Brave, I agree that the teleconferencing thing was a bit silly.
John
Usually this kind of material, while important, bores me but you guys make it interesting. Keep up the great work.
TheLightingPerson
Goodbye, our legendary HTTPS Everywhere. We will always miss you.
Marcel Martinez
Thank you for everything H.E.
Tom Peters
Henry sorry I haven’t commented in a while. I love the surveillance reports. I absolutely love misfits. I appreciate your efforts and your information and your attitude. Keep it up. This is the only channel I get this type of information from. God bless.
Sean O'Farrell
Regarding the Private Search thing, one of the common requirements for warrantless search is some kind of exigent circumstance: you don’t just need probable cause, you need a reason why you *couldn’t* go get a warrant first. The police already had the email, there was no danger of evidence being destroyed, and they weren’t rushing to try save a life in imminent danger or anything.
binnih
Fresh coffee, chocolate Hobnobs and Techlore Surveillance Report. The best way to begin the week.
Terrell Speaks
Thanks for continuing to do what’s right for the community.
Encrypt3d
Vivaldi has a similarly neat ecosystem with an integrated email client, calendar, and RSS feed. Wonder what they’ll add next

Except it ain’t FOSS

as a musician, i would rather you pirated my music, rather than paying someone else to pirate it for you. streaming services literally don’t pay the artists. Most people have to pay to put their work onto the service. its the worst exploitation of musicians yet. if i sell 1 album for 1 dollar on bandcamp, it is infinitely more profitable than being on spotify and having a thousand streams a month. now ya know.

Person: I would like to buy a arm that fires things. Bear dealer: Sorry your iphone says you are depressed, seems like a bad mix. 😉

I use YouTube premium which gives creators a small kickback it’s not much but it enables features on phones that are hard to come by without rooting or jailbreaking.
XileX
It would be youtubes own benefit to recommend videos that have ads enabled. I think they have said they do not recommend videos based on enabled ads, but I think having ads gives some sort of boost.

Would love to see a vid on basic home network security health check? Thanks for the great content!
Connor Hatch
I love Techlore & Surveillance Report. Thanks for showing me AirGuard. Keep doing what you’re doing. To quote Henry: “Okay, cool, go off” lol
