Any way to sort this list by activity in some way? Seems kinda hard to figure out where to check out first.

Can we go back to the good old days when you could install extensions that could actually do useful things without jumping through hoops? I swear we're going to have to start DLL injecting web browsers like game modding tools soon...

No, they did increase it for existing users. - One of those fickle users who bought all the extra credits he could at the original price.

I can use an Android or iOS devices without logging into their respective app stores easily, hopefully they allow similar on Oculus.

This is still being run by the non-profit, so I suspect that these can go into ongoing Wikimedia operating costs. They're incredibly efficient for the scale they operate at and I'd say this might improve things even further. The l

Their database was likely measured in megabytes not gigabytes or terabytes. I have a similar situation... it's awesome, I can afford to back the entire production DB up in its entirety once per hour for months on end.

I'm not so sure, Facebook did just invest a bunch of effort in getting AirLink working to allow wireless PC VR support and they seem to keep improving it.

Interesting to see all the pictures of existing clocks... with lower numbers than the current one. Clearly it's increased in the past and I'm willing to bet it'll increase again.

50 GPU-years is fairly cheap, certainly within the realm of days for a 3 letter agency or a botnet.

The problem is SafetyNet uses remote attestation. And if the bank app is implemented properly that won't work because the server will check they attestation and fail your login. They very well may not bother with this though since they

Yeah, sounds like someone doesn't understand lifetimes and RAII. Even in modern C++ the number of times you have to actually think about memory management instead of lifetimes is basically zero unless you have to work with old librarie

The main difference is they use e-paper displays which reflect light rather than emit it. Less eye strain due to less difference in amplitude to ambient light.

Okay, and I don't want to install an app, don't want "Windows Hello" to have my face, don't have a "security key" and don't want to give Microsoft my phone number. All of these options seem to have a

They've already done a recall. This is a temporary measure until the batteries can be replaced, however this article does mention they are buying some back apparently.

Android 10 also introduced similar mitigations: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/05/queue-hard... Though it's worth noting that the cost of Stagefright was surprisingly low - it took a long time

Many major titles are using EAC currently, Fortnite, Apex Legends, PUBG, etc. There's a pretty large market for cheats in any of those titles. Just dropping "<game> aimbot" or "<game> cheats" into google

EAC is actually pretty terrible against commercial cheats, it's only use is against free cheats pretty much. If you're willing to pay, you'll find many for EAC games.

You can basically have this today - you might have to give up a few niceties, but if you don't rely on anything too fancy, Lineage + F-Droid, with optional MicroG will generally do the trick for most apps. Gotta be a bit of tinkerer t

Even if they literally had no effect on transmission (which is false), it's still a positive for public health because they have massive effect on hospitalization.

Beer bottles are typically only reused if you say, bring them to The Beer Store or something similar. If you toss them in your municipal bin like me, my understanding is they basically just smash them and use the glass bits in other product

Yeah, TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt are widespread enough right now and most people are just using them in normal, non-deniable form, so it seems like better cover currently.

Pretty much anything from Arizer or Storz & Bickel are good bets. Dynavap is a great option if you're willing to deal with butane torches.

The effects are quite different for most people due to the lack of first-pass metabolism with inhalation which converts digested THC to a different form. Dry herb vaporizers might be a better suggestion. A friend of mine who's a daily

People are watching whole percentages of their lives tick away. That's not the only thing they care about. We need an end in sight and we need to draw a line somewhere.

Tiny screens and keyboards on touch screens will never be the best for authoring activities, even for most of the activities you've listed, including communicating. Take my dad for example - not a tech guru, but works in Excel all the

I also distinctly remember Microsoft saying they would never wait as long between releases as XP to Vista. I always wondered which promise would be kept, guess we have our answer.

Slowly they'll meet with the Electron people and eventually we'll reinvent Delphi and Visual Basic.

"disengagements" is a disingenuous statistic - that'd be like a human driver just giving up and getting out of the car. What you want is "interventions". Additionally, look at where those miles were driven. Most of

Yeah, Netflix is actually annoying with it - I was using my "ultra low security" password which is in... probably every public password dump around for years, got dozens of logins, just ignored them til someone finally tried to ch
