A bit disappointing, I thought everybody knew it was possible to "enumerate" Whatsapp accounts? I was hoping for something more juicy like RCE...

But Telegram end-to-end encryption is optional as far as I know.

Just another reason not to use services based on closed protocols like WhatsApp. With open ones, you can just choose to use another client, even a terminal-based one that uses 2 MB of RAM if you like.

Why should OpenAI keep those conversations in the first point? (of course the answer is obvious) If they didn't keep them, they wouldn't have anything to hand over, and they would have protected users' privacy MUCH better. Th

I had often reboots followed by more update installation and then a shutdown, so I assumed this was working as intended (i.e. finish installing the updates, which might require a reboot, and then power off).

Is this light enough to run on a SBC (think of something with the power of a Raspberry Pi 3 or a bit more) with decent performance (for just 3-4 users)?

Fun facts, and/or actual knowledge you might even use one day. This said, I've definitely never had a use for knowing about CORONA spy satellites dropping film cartridges on the Earth (see https://en.wikipedia.org/

So to make future performance more predictable?

Totally true. Also consider that although software can theoretically or technically be patched, sometimes patches just don't exist... the amount of unmaintained but yet useful software is just huge.

Why do they initialize a disk image with /dev/urandom instead of /dev/zero? Given it's not an encrypted disk container, I don't see any valid reason to do so, but perhaps I'm not seeing something?

Did anyone else read "Go subtitles" instead of the actual title?

Personally the one or the other makes no difference: I wont use it.

I started reading RFCs as a teenager when I stumbled upon an RFC collection on a CD-ROM distributed with a computer magazine. It didn't last long until I started implementing my own SMTP client. And then I discovered this, and for a mo

It should, in the same way you can embed compression-resistant watermarks. But the bit density would be ridiculously low, depending on the amount of noise you can accept.

This is using Twilio, but given there's an Asterisk server behind, you can actually use any VoIP provider that allows outgoing calls over SIP right? Depending on the country you live in and/or where you want to call, you might get

If I understand it correctly, unlike WINE this requries an actual Windows licence (at least if you wish to stay legal)?

by ale42 1y ago
Not to criticize the idea, but do we really need to give our kids yet _more_ screen time, especially young ones? Pedagogically, what is the message for them here? You need a phone for everything?

Too specific to gaming, and AFAIK NVIDIA-specific. Plus, RDP disconnects the physical console, so the screen stays off and keyboard/mouse can't interfere. There is some software like NX that can blank the screen (actually, make it

This is great! Just missing a way to understand how the parameters are encoded, or is there something somewhere?
