Yet another analogy is designing and presenting a radar detector/jammer but never using it on public roads. Until the author has used the tool on the UW server during registration, he is not violating their policies and procedures: He

Just a thought: maybe replace the MIT license with something more strict (such as GPL-3) or even an "only private use" license.

My Z13 most definitely was defective, although after seeing a few similar cases, I wonder if they had a bad batch or if that was just an unstable platform. Even after getting it serviced (which was a joke, because they don't diagnose L

"Awful" would be a kind description of this keyboard. The bottom two rows are aligned, which is the new anti-ANSI laptop trend. Page up and down are now Fn keys. Insert is a function key. PrtSc is long gone. F key font is miniscul

I owned a Z13 Gen 1 and it was a horrendous piece of crap. I constantly had crashes, hangs, faulty suspend, keyboard problems, dock problems, audio problems, and so much more from the very beginning. I very reluctantly purchased a X1 Carbon

Awesome! That's my reading material for the next week. Now I wonder if MISC.EXE and xGRAPHIC.EXE were the same across different games e.g. Covert Action vs F15 SE2... (I just checked. MISC is different. Some routines are nearly similar

Some of the early Microprose games used this, and it was clever for two reasons: First, more functionality. The minigames and intro/conclusion scenes were their own executables that made use of the original, generated game data. These

There are a few things that helped me or someone I know to understand some concepts: e: Hot/cold stuff passively reaching ambient temperature (why does it get colder quicker right at the beginning but so slowly at the end??) as well as

This. There's a lot to be said about understanding registers and assembly and different languages and how a USB packet is constructed, but efficiency in reverse engineering comes down to effective pattern recognition. A binary is likel

No. I recently had a ThinkPad Z13 for over a year. I tried earnestly using the TrackPoint on multiple occasions. It had inconsistent pressure pickup, bad haptics, and poor button integration. I think I had a different opinion 25+ years ago,

This looks awesome for music recording as well. Connect to a fanless USB interface and you'd be set for totally* noiseless recording. * assuming no coil whine or PSU clicking

PowerToys can be counterproductive. Consider Ctrl + Space in Windows Explorer. For literal decades, it has been the method for selecting multiple nonsequential files. Now it is the default shortcut for the Peek file preview window. But it d

One of the Turbine devs shared that Asheron's Call (an early MMORPG) was intentionally not released in major outlets at first so they would not scale too fast. This was perhaps wise, the first few months were largely---and remarkably--

Even on Hetzner, it's not amazing and not a one-click workflow. Load their Photoprism image on a standard server with only IPv6 (as a v4 address costs extra) and certificates will not get generated; logs point to Traefik although the s

My brother had a strong dislike for math that wasn't immediately practical. He ended up understanding integrals (at least numerical approximation) after building a small boat and needing to calculate how much air it would hold: obvious

Plus, at -O1 and up, gcc optimizes this away, so the check itself is not well-defined as necessary. Does it always make sense to strictly enforce code that will be optimized/changed during compilation? Or does Xr0 run after compilation
