Where the ribbon fails most for me is when you narrow the window width and various options are made basically inaccessible.

A friend of mine passed away last year and I use a domain named after her as a small memorial, sally.pro. I just gave it a LOC record pointing to a bench in the park that we adopted for her.

In at least this case, sf.gov confirms the existence of the agency[1], and has a page linking to sfdec.org[2][3]. So, it most likely really is just government agencies being bad at domains here. [1]: https://www.sf.gov/news&

How are they supposed to store them? Unless there’s a password required to use the app, is the only other option a fixed key, or maybe something derived from the account name or something? All of this feels like obfuscation though, if we’re

I was once on 25th street in Midtown, when I saw someone drop a tiny object with a little parachute from a window at least 8 or 9 stories up. Once it had finished slowly gliding down to the street, someone picked it up and used it to enter

If you want this to be a little safer, instead of just those guardrails to prevent semicolons and such, you can split the command into an array of arguments, and use subprocess.Popen. It won't execute through a shell, so you don&#x2

Is that actually an ethernet port, or is it just an RJ45 for something like I2C, UART or some other protocol? It's also got a little port for a Bluetooth controller, which came with my desk. I bet it's possible to reverse enginee

I've heard blame partially put on carriers - they initially resisted even carrying the Treo line without putting limits on what Handspring could do with it. Apple had the iPod - and, crucially, customers - could bring these customers t

I think the distributions that do use systemd are the ones that add the libsystemd code, which in turn brings in the liblzma5 code. So, it may not be entirely relevant how it is run, but it needs to be a version of OpenSSH patched.

For those panicking, here are some key things to look for, based on the writeup: - A very recent version of liblzma5 - 5.6.0 or 5.6.1. This was added in the last month or so. If you're not on a rolling release distro, your version is

Honestly, I don't think that assumption is necessary, and I don't think either video suggests it in the slightest.

Interesting, they’re not disabling adb. It sounds like they’re just disabling the ability for apps on the device to connect to adb on localhost and run (e.g.) shell commands that way.

For the $3.99 one, it just becomes a bundle when ordered together. Also works with six piece nuggets. I’ve seen it on the menu in the store but it’s not incredibly prominent. And, in the app it’s basically just undocumented and the price dr

As others have said, use the app. Got a double cheeseburger and a free medium fries there today, and this was in Manhattan. $3.79 plus tax. Even if you don’t use the app, if you just buy a double cheeseburger and a small fries it’s $3.99. T

I’ve heard stories of people putting fake QR codes linking to fake payment portals for parking. I don’t think an app solves this problem though. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2022/01/fake-qr-code

I’d wonder how this would beat a used surface go or something similar - they’re pretty light and affordable. And, while they’re not powerhouses, I wouldn’t expect much from a budget android tablet emulating x86 and running wine.
