It isn't cheap wrt hardware requirements either. My 2.5 year old work laptop becomes unbelievably sluggish if I have to keep multiple Electron apps open.

While the cryptographic part is easily understandable, what are the practical uses of this scheme? It can only verify half of the bits on average.

Remember the Xerox scan-to-email scandal in which tiling compression was replacing numbers in structural drawings? We're talking about similar repercussions here.

How can it be a match if these CSAM scanners are only comparing against a database of known material? Have we been lied to?

I can only find mentions about Amazon's "Send to Kindle" feature doing internal .epub to AZW coversion and I really don't consider that as proper support for the format.

Why would you need a quasi-official sanctioning body for a profession that should be sanctioned by the federal government or state in the first place? Is this yet again a case of Americanism that the rest of the world does just not understa

As to how to migrate old email messages between services, good old drag and drop in Thunderbird is likely still the best way to go.

Getting a password or a PIN code to a smart card by force is trivial, too. Even if one's physical wellbeing is protected by law, they can still be jailed[1] for failing to provide a password, even if no such password exists. The previo

You might not even need a scaler. Most signage displays have built-in video wall mode that can extract any integer fraction tile out of the raw data, and some models even let you chain the displays so you don't need a splitter or matri

FancyZones seems to forget currently selected layout every time it is updated and every time a new Windows developer preview is installed. Other than that, it should be exactly as you left it.

FanzyZones is absolutely essential if you're using large monitors.

DMR's AMBE+2 works reasonably well for English, but certain languages sound as if the speaker was drunk and having a stroke at the same time.

I live in a country in top three on the Reporters Without Borders freedom of press list so I cringe every time someone talks about free speech - especially when the folks doing so are basically from a country that is currently ranked 44th.

Because running that website is a business of theirs.

It's not about misinformation. It is about not being allowed to do business because of affiliation with a sanctioned entity, and playing the freedom of speech card does not give you a pass in this matter.

Sounds like a knee-jerk reaction from the ISPs. I bet they've already had anti-CSAM blocklists mandated by law in place for a long time.

No consumer-oriented software should require a VPN for authentication -- Wait, it's actually a good idea. Please put everything from Meta/Facebook behind a mandatory VPN so that I have zero chance of accidentally stumbling upon it

The version I had came with a thin blue serial cable with DE9 and DB25 serial connectors on both ends. The thick yellow parallel cable had to be purchased separately.

Looks like a leaky abstraction, in which a negligible amount of time saved in development (by mapping command line options directly to identifiers) results in UX woes.

Can you report your previous employees to the police for theft of company property then?

It always puzzles me how people making six figures a year for translating real-life requirements to technical ones suddenly throw a tantrum when said requirements involve law.
