I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not suggesting it's a giant psy-op. I'm suggesting that it could be sort of like putting unique watermarks on mp3s when customers download them, so that when those mp3s show up on

In the scenario I'm suggesting, if I understand you correctly, the ICIG talked to the same people that Grusch had. Those people said something to the effect of "yes, I have seen intelligence documents and other evidence that descr

I used to visit San Francisco and the Bay Area a lot for work. I could be wrong, but it feels like capping the travel time at 45 minutes is too low. A lot of people down there seem to have commute times more like 1-3 hours each way. I ass

I avoid using oddball Unicode characters for this reason,[1] but I also feel like at this point the can of worms has been unleashed, and the screen reader authors are going to have to adapt to a more hostile environment. It seems like one a

Most of the dedicated Pong-style game consoles used a chip (or chipset) designed for a specific set of related games.[1] The Wikipedia photo of the TV Master[2] is a great example of switches that correspond to most of the pins on the AY-3-

TLDR: A display for people or other creatures with true tetrachromatic vision (not just an additional receptor, but the ability to perceive it as a distinct primary colour) would need to be able to output that fourth primary colour, but the

I don't think any of your typical car thieves are actually picking locks. For a traditional mechanical key ignition, generally they're going to break into the steering column and just hotwire the right connections together, or pos

From the figures in the paper, it looks like some of the detectors started picking up an increase a minute or more before the lightning flash. However, 2-3 of the detectors also picked up increased gamma counts that then died out before the

Seems like the fact that it's a "tightbeam" vs. WiFi's broad coverage could result in some fun niche hacks like tiny autotracking IR transceiver turrets that follow devices around a room or (working together to hand off

Once it's widespread in consumer gear, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before people start hacking it to operate over longer distances, similar to what's been done with custom WiFi antennas, parabolic dishes, etc.

Surely there is something interesting that can be done with something that has such unusual properties, even if it's a corner case. It's basically a single-use "transistor" or "valve" for mechanical force. Does

The Adaptix vice seems like a nice approach for a lot of use cases, but unless I'm mistaken, the fractal vice seems like it will get a better grip to prevent curved objects from turning with less pressure applied from the vice, right?

I'd love to see this generalized to a toolkit in mobile and desktop/server operating systems. A year or two ago, I suggested calling something like it a "hellban" add-on, because my main use for it would be to improve t

The more likely scenario, at least in the US, is that if your business is already using some legit licensed software from the same publisher, the publisher invokes a contractual right to audit licenses at your business. They find a bunch of

You could also diff the binaries with the unmodified version. We did that at work once (on behalf of the publisher of the same software) and the cracked version was literally one byte different. Just to be sure, we also reverse-engineered t

The Register is one of the last publications that you should trust to make claims about the quality of other news sources. I've personally had them grossly misrepresent a technical writeup I'd posted online, and then completely ig

If the existing code is old-school enough to use thousands of global variables in a thread-unsafe way, seems like changing it enough to compile as safe Rust code would push the "non-trivial" envelope pretty far.

On further reflection, I'm adding this extra note indicating that I think my theory doesn't really work, even if it was a fun idea. Generating that much blue light via Cherenkov radiation seems like it would require such a flood o
