I think the article is somewhat over-representing the difficulty here. Once you're at the team selection screen and choosing your lineup, there are only 15 possible combinations to choose from. Once you factor in that many/most te

Government shutdowns of the internet happen "regularly" in the USA? Name one time.

I dunno, that still sounds like a perfect use case for a third-party app like the one this post is about. I'm not sure government crackdowns are a core enough experience that it needs a first-party app from Apple.

Legit curious what the use case would be, that would justify Apple adding it in. Like, when do you need to text someone who's within Bluetooth range but somehow has no WiFi or cell reception?

Definitely grab them from Standard Ebooks. Not as huge a selection as Gutenberg, obviously, but still several lifetimes worth of reading, and the quality is way higher.

I'm not sure what you mean; vaporwave is neither a misnomer nor a jab. Did you think they meant vaporware? The vaporwave aesthetic is that neon, retro-futuristic, laser-beam-y type look.

Apple announces all iOS updates in June and releases them simultaneously with the newest iPhones in September. So you're right, but only trivially so.

I can't reproduce this; is it still the case, or some ancient thing?

It sure looks like the author did his due diligence; he has a chart of all the different phrases in the payload which triggered the 403 and they all corresponded to paths to common UNIX system configuration files. Nobody could prove that&

The guardrails in question are around generating images of weapons, military installations, etc. Not run-of-the-mill NSFW stuff.

Not just that one; practically every useful theorem about primes would have to be rewritten to "if p is a prime other than 1".

Funny seeing this on the front page – I'm coding a project as I'm browsing this that makes heavy use of TikZJax. Overall, I'm impressed by how seamlessly it works when it does work. But it's not perfect: - Some core libr

Based on the description, it’s because you don’t get raw SQL access; they say the game logic is embedded directly into the database and you interact with it through stored procedures. All the rules are enforced there instead of whatever API

I vaguely remember an old MSC or TWIM or something that described (the possibility of) a new authentication mechanism whereby I could set up either a dummy homeserver or something in .well_known that would allow me to use my own domain but

You keep saying “No it’s not” and then describing exactly what most people would call “a single point of failure” and “a national security issue” in a lot more words.

Wait, what? There’s AppleScript on iOS? Since when?

I'm out of the loop, what bashing and abuse? Every time I've seen Asahi mentioned, everyone here's falling over themselves to remark on how impressive a technical achievement it is.

Exactly this. His original revelations were shocking to his audience; the Ukrainian invasion is already almost-universally condemned among the same. His “speaking out” against it would be pure virtue signalling, not a single mind would be c

I legitimately thought it was some DOS compatibility layer or something. Like, you’d have to run Doom that way because of the low framerate natively.

Call them “eras” instead of “periods” if you want that GenX adoption.

It is apparently the case that the original source for Tiberian Sun and RA2 has been lost; EA doesn't have it. There's been rumours to that effect for a while.

I don’t know about the actual laws on the books, but practically speaking decomps have been a thing for a while now and don’t seem to have gotten any pushback from Nintendo. There’s an entire community of development tools and rpm hacks bui
