> "Y'all don't even know what the word means if you don't think Playboy centerfold shoot qualifies." Right back at you.

Whose consent? The model's, who never owned the rights to the photograph, or Playboy who does? Both parties gave consent to a million readers across the world to see the full picture .

It isn't. Just like the original and the cropped version aren't ethically problematic. It was a commercial photo shoot performed under paid contract with a public magazine.

It's not pornography. The full image is erotic in its nature. The cropped image aligns with pretty much any other non-nude glamour photography.

The implied notion that the manager really had no idea what they actually wanted, or at the very least were unable to sensibly describe the requirements, is entirely believable, but from a systems development perspective nothing in this art

Tracking of shipping containers does sound like a reasonable fit, yes. Oceanic buoys for scientific research, where satellite cover applies, would be another good example.

Their data plan of 750 192-byte packets per month stretched out: you get to send 25 packets per day. Extremely niched use cases, e.g. rescue beacon or weather/radiation monitoring far out in nowhere.

Absurd statement in the context of chat/e-mail support. Of course you're not gonna get to see what the staff looks like. And no customer ever became happier nor felt more "connected" with the advent of first-name basis s

No, nor would I be sadder. Most of them do present their names in kanji, and it makes absolutely no difference at all to how the e-mail/chat support errand will progress.

"Once again this is Maria Kyla." - just in case anyone had any doubts. For some reason the mere tone of the support person's communication makes me think of chinese eBay/Ali-X retailers' made-up names used in suppor

It's only costly if the software (or its administrators) decides that it has to be. This particular product's approach (5000 rounds of salted SHA512) is not very costly, nor is it inherently insecure.

Yes, and enforcing long passwords is the primary and most important way of dealing with it. Enforcing ridiculously high CPU/RAM use for authenticating is a cost that both sides have to pay, but in itself it doesn't solve the probl

Their rationale is probably because those two don't scale very well when you want to make their efforts count, whether bcrypt's hunger for CPU or Argon2's hunger for CPU and/or RAM. Bcrypt is very capable at bogging thin

Yes, SELinux and AppArmour can cover these angles in a kind of "application-agnostic" fashion. If anyone would bother using them. Practically nobody does. In the case of SELinux it's usually such a hassle that administrator

The Rock5B is an RK3588 SBC, with up to 16GB RAM. Might not be the most "pimped" such.

by daneel_w 4y ago
The default setup does not support it for any Rockchip SoC up to and including the RK3399, which is why everyone goes for tow-boot on SPI for their Pine devices. The SoCs have a hardcoded boot sequence which includes SPI, SD, USB and eMMC,

I don't know if it retained swupdate functionality, or if it's drop-in compatible with u-boot's such.

by daneel_w 4y ago
It's just a bootloader, with a few tricks up its sleeve. All it does is letting you boot from any storage medium you want (most notably NVMe) instead of being restricted to the hardcoded sequence of the boot ROM.

by daneel_w 4y ago
The beefier alternative you're looking for is possibly the Radxa Rock5B, which has proper M.2 slot and comes in a 16GB version. Hardware support for it isn't entirely mainlined yet, but a lot of development is happening week by we

by daneel_w 4y ago
For the Pine family of SBCs I highly recommend installing Tow-Boot - https://tow-boot.org/ - on the SPI flash memory to allow yourself much better boot options, including booting directly from NVMe so you don't need to

It helped you understand why dropping app bundles in the trash does not clean out per-user property lists. App bundles are never installed anywhere as they are self-contained products, hence they cannot be uninstalled. For applications that

I've made use of sips(1) for years to un/bundle application icons for build processes and other things. Great tool, more or less unknown like so many other hidden userland gems in macOS.

I'll help you out by offering this common scenario: You have an application which is a normal app bundle. It doesn't update itself because, well, few developers have bothered taking this route, so you download a new version of it

by daneel_w 4y ago
It's by design. The files are your preferences, not the application's preferences. A lot of people throw away the old app bundle when they download a new version of it for applications that don't update themselves. It would
