Stupid question but how are they able to message the original owner? What contact info does a wiped (or is it just locked?) phone give? Is it via the phone number on a physical SIM card? At least my phone (android) shows no contact info whe

My expectation is for a restaurant to have paper menus locally, and a website that has the menu electronically (which I use to check their menu beforehand). So: why not both (though at least I don't need a QR to go to the website, it&#

Too bad a ring is still too easy to get created naturally. If it would have had the shape of a square, or a dogecoin, that'd get really interesting

Hmm, so I think the 1R in 1RZ don't matter then for this program and are arbitrarily chosen, since it halts there so it doesn't matter what's still written on the tape or where the tape head moves? (Even writing of the 1 does

Or just stop this nonsense of needing updates to keep things working, which then allows updates that break things. Have proper standards how music is transmitted. Have devices support those standards. Have those standards be long-running.

I really don't get that: having to run something substantial as root seems a much bigger security concern, than what it is shielding from user space (example: hosting a web server at port 80)

Why weren't containers rootless from the start anyway? What did they need that user space doesn't provide? Wine, emulators and VMs didn't require it either (with the exception of some VMs needing a kernel module for performa
