I think they should note that on the page, because it makes it look like Dell is a bad vendor but in practice they're one of the better ones, in this aspect.

I believe HN has some degree of automated detection of LLM-written comments. If someone was astroturfing they'd flag the post itself, too.

That's exactly how modern Android rooting tools work. You select which apps you want to have root, in a manager app. No other app should be able to notice. But GrapheneOS isn't root, that's just PayPal's thing being brok

Interesting, just inferring from that it sounds like GrapheneOS's actual-security features might have been tripping up PayPal's root-detection "security" features. (Rather than something fundamentally incompatible, like

I mean, yeah, you can't have politics in a vacuum. But any software that does anything interesting interfaces with the outside world at some point (via human proxy or otherwise). That your TRMNL even allows you to write software for

It's a political statement disguised as a FOSS project (which itself is fine, all software is political). The funders are not funding the development of a Linux distro, they are co-signing the political statement.

When I search for "C2PA" on the google play store, there are more AI-watermark-removal apps than there are signing apps. Certain types will jump through ridiculous hoops if they think it will affect their algorithmic reach on soci

by Retr0id 2mo ago
C2PA is a bit nebulous as a concept, which is part of the problem. It is both of these things. The BBC type use case where a publisher signs their own content with their own keys seems reasonable to me, or at least, not obviously broken. Ho

I use binvis quite a lot for getting a quick overview of an unknown file format, using the entropy mode in particular. However, I almost always switch it into the linear view. Hilbert curves are cool but I've never really found any ben
