Sounds like Durak?

How do they ask permission without filming them first though? With such a device, I’d assume it is always recording and sending data to Meta servers.

A docker container is not a whole separate Linux server, it uses the kernel running on the host

Come to Europe, then :)

And why is burning an audio file onto a CD better than having the same file on flash storage?

Not for home computers. But storing data in DNA could become feasible for archiving, as it is very dense and degrades very slowly.

I use en- and em-dashes religiously in my LaTeX documents, and I’m not going to start using the wrong kind of dash on purpose. Might as well abandon grammar while we’re at it.

They advertise that passwords are only stored on the server in encrypted form, meaning they couldn’t read them even if they wanted to (or were forced to by a government agency) and you don’t have to trust them not to. This paper shows that several vulnerabilities exist in the protocol which could be exploited by malicious code running on the server (injected by hackers or a government agency), which would then allow an attacker to obtain cleartext-passwords. So you do, in fact, have to trust the servers integrity.
