I don't know, but one could implement this without too much difficulty as a wrapper around afl-showmap.

My understanding is that that attacker wasn't using bath salts, and that the connection to bath salts was all speculation. Also, I think bath salts is usually synthetic cathinones, i.e. functional analogues of khat, and not derivatives

I haven't taken beyond high school physics, so this question is probably obvious, but I haven't been able to find the answer (probably don't know the right terms to search). When I increased the slider that allows you to chan

I just tested running gtk3-demo and gtk4-demo in sway. gtk4-demo does draw its shadows on other windows, but I wouldn't have noticed that if you hadn't brought it to my attention. Each has only the GTK title bar (no sway title bar

I went to an American private high school that also did this, although not everyone was thorough, so they had custodians clean every so often. In retrospect, it was kind of cool.

Agreed that Linux directory structure is kind of a mess. The extent to which it's a mess varies from distribution to distribution, though. For example, on Arch, /bin, /sbin, and /usr/sbin are all just symlinks to &#

No. It's true. I have T-Mobile, and I cannot send .xyz links over SMS. If you have T-Mobile, this is easy to verify: text yourself "abc.xyz" (or any other .xyz link) The message will show as sent but not received. If you text

I have an original Kobo WiFi (no touch) and the internal storage is a microSD card. You can literally just take it apart, remove the SD and stick new programs on it, start an SSH server, etc. I also have the non-WiFi version, and it has eMM

Suppose there's a macOS exploit found that makes use of the unlocked bootloader. Are you certain Apple would actually patch it, and not just lock the bootloader? Sony famously did that to the PS3.

For HP this is not true. In college I rescued 2 HP EliteBooks from the e-waste bin and both had locked BIOSes. It was as simple as buying a cheap SPI programmer (I got a CH341A-based one) and dumping the BIOS chip, then unlocking the dump w

It isn't always possible to build my own hardware, especially in the embedded world. I buy unlocked hardware now, but I learned that lesson the hard way from Verizon and Samsung.

I'm surprised to see that installation is a requirement of the GPLv2. Does this mean that Android phones with bootloaders that can't be unlocked violate the GPL?

To be fair, that's Arch Linux ARM, which is technically a separate project. The pinephone arch linux arm repositories aren't even maintained by the official project. That said, I've had no such issues running Arch on my pinep

With TCL TVs, it's not hard to remove the wifi card. In the ones I've taken apart it's always just connected with USB internally.

I had this same problem. Was it an old Radeon card? I don't remember the model, but Microsoft's website said it was too old, so it only has basic support from Windows 10. That means black bars. Drove an ultrawide monitor in Linux
