As with any tech, you can't trust marketing if you plan on pushing it to the limit. You need to either test it yourself, or in some rare cases there are reviewers who have already tested it. Most "reviews" for tech are extrem

Now when you say want to play the game , do you mean getting instantly killed on spawn by cheaters? More specifically, given that you want the game to be playable without anti-cheat, do you imagine that the cheaters will just agree not to

There was rapid snowfall today, but certainly not a surprise. The local media has been warning about a snowstorm for about a week. Also, most of the snowfall happened during the night, so it was almost all there by the morning.

It might be cromulent to some, but in my experience it is not widespread. Definitely done at a much lower rate than other places like reddit. Main indicator of this is that on HN it's not uncommon to see an upvoted comment that has alm

For me, Winamp still offers two things that most other players don't: 1) Global hotkeys to navigate through my playlists, enqueue songs, control playback etc. Also the global pop-up window (Ctrl+Alt+J) with my current playlist has a re

You could do a community purchase with your neighbors. Where I'm from people even register officially as cooperatives in order to buy stuff at bulk with proper accounting. Now some people who are super poor might also have horrible soc

Depends on the specifics. In this case one of the two companies involved is headquartered in the EU, so the mechanisms are the same as if two EU companies were trying to buy eachother. Now if we assume a more interesting situation where nei

Wolt is the first food delivery app I used years ago. It has been convenient, but I definitely started taking it for granted. I was shocked when I traveled to Germany and used their popular app Lieferando. That app didn't even have a d

The EU definitely has a say. It's true that Finland can choose to leave the EU, but it's disingenuous to say that EU doesn't have a say. However "having a say" goes even further, because Wolt operates also outside t

What factory is that and are you sure it's not just the Paldiski waste that the government has been dealing with for decades, figuring how to get rid of it?

At least Estonia itself won't be a repeat customer in the short to medium term, because it doesn't really produce any significant waste. The radioactive waste in question is most likely what was left behind by the Russians when th

The most obvious that comes to mind is eval. However a custom function could also be dangerous, e.g. a function that posts some sensetive information to a REST API where the attacker can control the variable that defines the API endpoint ad

Nvidia drivers work just fine with no networking, I've used them so frequently. The anti-mining technique that Nvidia uses depends on firmware modifications as well. Thus the firmware of these stolen GPUs must already support such a ba

by Strom 5y ago
Two reasons why this won't work: 1) The GPU probably already comes with a driver CD that can't have this serial number marked as stolen. 2) Even if you use a downloaded driver, you can just use the last version that didn't co

How would it be a thing? You don't even need a network card, much less a network connection, to use a GPU. I guess they could manufacture these in a way that requires online activation of the firmware, but that would be a big step in t

Referencing the atomic bomb in this context is also manipulation. You're trying to evoke emotion, as opposed to arguing your point with boring facts.

Willing to mingle with people very different from yourself is a very new phenomenon and certainly not widespread. It's nice that you can look past the differences. > SARS2 is not a big threat to vaccinated people. Why the hysteria?

Go is not in the business of copy-pasting other language designs. That much should be obvious by now. The questions aren't around the algorithms. They're about Go specific things like how to deal with legacy std library parts that
