As an alternative you can still buy small flash drives in bulk (Amazon has listings of 128MB ones for less than a dollar per drive). They don't look as good as SD cards on their own but you could rip out the internals and place them in

IMO if they truly don't consider it dangerous then they shouldn't have considered it a vulnerability at all, just a non-security bug. Labeling it a moderate vuln and not paying just seems like a bad middle ground to me, as though

The problem is that you're encouraging people to keep stuff like this to themselves until they can use it to perform an exploit that they'd get paid for, which is the opposite of what Microsoft wants - they'd much rather you

The real myth here is that the BIOS did nothing more than load 512 bytes and start executing. It was already doing tons of stuff to configure hardware and provide information to OSs well before UEFI came along.

I would add - I don't mind them describing it like that, the questionable part is how the advertising heavily implies that to get access to that software you have to buy the "Pro" version. The software is of course free and a

Something separate that occurred to me - many systems have empty sections of address space, those addresses can't back `malloc(1)` allocations but they could back `malloc(0)` allocations with a unique address. I doubt any C runtime out

> allocating a few bytes that weren't asked for. FWIW the alignment guarantees of `malloc()` mean it often will have to allocate more than you ask for (before C23 anyway). You can't 'legally' use this space, but `mall

Agree 100%, that's the biggest difference I feel whenever I'm doing remote Powershell vs. ssh, it always feels like a struggle just to make basic file modifications.

I wasn't making a comparison, I was just commenting on procedural generation in general. It clearly can be fun and interesting if done well since some games have managed to achieve that. Whether it's possible to do well in the kin

IMO the problem is that, at least right now, the AI can't examine the patient itself, it has to be fed information from the doctor. This step means bad doctors are likely to provide the AI with bad information and reduce it's effe

Smelling like pot in a park doesn't mean you smoked in that park though, you can walk through a park smelling like cigarettes too.

To add on to this, the issue in the article is really more about one-way tickets than single passenger, if you buy a round-trip ticket for that flight the difference in price goes away. In fact, a single passenger round-trip ticket that inc

I would add, this wasn't really a prediction anyway, they listed 14 total people across three separate top 5 lists. That's a pretty sizeable chunk of the total people who had a chance of being elected pope and they didn't try

Well to be fair, that's not the full license notice, that's only the last paragraph. There should a couple more above that one and the first paragraph says the version of GPL in use. That said I think the license notice is also ju

Well from a certain POV it's like stabilizing APIs internal to your application - nobody else should be calling them so "stabilizing" them just creates unnecessary maintenance work. Obviously in practice certain things like e

To me that's an odd position to take, ultimately if the user is using Mozilla's root CA list then they're trusting Mozilla to determine which certs should be valid. If non-browser programs using the list are trusting certs th

If you have 1000 people making $1 along with one person making $1000, the average is about $2 - so 99.9% of people are making less than the average.

The catch is that it costs them more to acquire the laptops so (in theory) they can't acquire as many of them to sell if they start from the same amount of money. Which is ok on the surface, but makes them a worse investment because th

IMO you're comparing apples and oranges. The GNU C extensions are 'stable' when using GCC, they're just not part of the regular C language, plenty of them are still in wide use in the kernel. Unstable Rust features in co

So if I go on ChatGPT, copy in a chapter from a book and then ask it to repeat the chapter back to me, is ChatGPT violating the copyright of the book I just fed it?

Yes, it's almost like it's a complicated legal question and the content of the required prompt to produce a copyright-infringing response would be something that would interest the judge and jury. You're saying "it'

Yes, but after the program is started you can do anything. AFAIK the important part of the distinction is the behavior when starting the program - if you start a GUI program from the console (Ex. calc), cmd doesn't wait for it to exit.
