Loaded it up and I can confirm it still works in FL Studio 32b and 64b versions. I really like the music box preset, very melodious with certain parameters.

I was the same. I switched to uMatrix and found it to be more intuitive and fine-grained.

If you saw my comment below, this is exactly the same issue I have. It's stupid, and I don't think I ever added security questions to begin with when I signed up to iTunes over 10 years ago.

Apple ID is garbage, and I've been unable to reset my security questions due to Apple "not having sufficient information". Even calling Apple and having the agent try to reset the questions using a PIN did not work. They esca

This is what I do at home. I rip CDs using EAC (Exact Audio Copy) to FLAC with a .CUE file. That way I can recreate the image if needed. I usually upload the FLAC to Google Music to add to my library for my portable needs.

One of the first arcade games I "beat" when I was a kid. The local bowling lanes had a cockpit style cabinet I would play on when the parents did their league days. Once you blow up the Deathstar, you repeat the game, but the miss

Very true. The slack reserve space, RAM buffer (and/or battery), and NAND process are the main things that make an enterprise drive. The author doesn't specify a metric for writes, but based on the MX300 specs that I find, it can

Well, considering it's the cheapest consumer SSD they could afford, and then connecting it to a SAS port might be a whole story in itself.

Call me crazy, but I don't think that a Crucial MX300 is the best choice for an enterprise worthy ZFS drive. I get what the author is concerned about, but I wouldn't be that surprised that a consumer level SSD failed in what sound

You could measure the entropy of single lines and determine if the entropy is high. Although you'd probably get a lot of false positive.

The PCB tutorials by Chuck Adams(K7QO) on YT are pretty good and go over a unique PCB style that he calls MUPPET. Zero thru-hole mounting, but uses thru-hole parts (and SMD sometimes). His tutorials also go over creating the print transfer

Hmm, interesting, Moto Camera automatically detects and provides the QR code text/info. I guess I took it for granted and thought it was stock Google photo app.

Isao Tomita's debut analog synthesizer renditions of Debussy, Snowflakes are Dancing, is one of my all time favorite recordings. Debussy translates very well into electronic forms.

Louis Rossmann, a well known advocate for right-to-repair and a repair shop owner has a lot to say about Apple's build quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUaJ8pDlxi8 His videos are a great rabbit hole to go down,

LOL, no. I want to be able to have internet access anytime anywhere without identity checks, verification, or even anyone knowing exactly who I am. What is legal speech today is heretical "call the death squad" speech tomorrow.

If you build the python ecosystem yourself and supply a custom binary, you could probably obfuscate a bit by modifying the compiled bytecode values. Supply only .pyc and maybe modify or not supply the dis module. Here's a resource that

I was thinking something along similar lines. Hawking had a lecture[1] regarding Godel, which indicate incomplete or inconsistent models of systems. What we may think as inconsistent is probably an incomplete model. Or as Hawking addressed

First shareware game I bought back in the day. I think I might still have the original 3.5" floppy somewhere in my basement. Played it on my parents Tandy 1000 TX 286.

Other than your DOB and sex, can you just provide a fake name/email and go from there? Only people I want to share my genetic info with is my family, and they know how to contact me.

But then it can be over emphasized, and no one in your organization trusts any links or attachments because of phishing. Then it all becomes a horrible mess of skype/slack IMs with the actual links to Sharefile or Dropbox shares. Then

I get intensely vivid 'stygian blue' hypnagogic hallucinations right before I fall asleep. It's an intensely dark/bright blue. Very hard to describe. It usually manifests as a blob of color that pulses from the outer-edg

I'm disappointed there is no Gene Wolfe. I'd be extremely interested at his metrics.
