My 6yo son really, really wanted to play Breath of the Wild. He loves Zelda, my wife loves Zelda, my best friend's girlfriend is over the moon with Zelda, etc. I always played Link in Mario Kart, to the point where, when he was 2 or 3,

Note that the project hasn't been contributed to since 2017, and contains unfixed bugs from six years ago. Might be worth a fork or a rewrite.

I had a Logitech G930 headset and a Logitech G-series keyboard and mouse. Worked great. Then one day it updated (in the background). Without the software running, the extra programmable buttons on my mouse (which I used a lot ) wouldn&#x27

Late to the game here, but... OnlyFans is doing this allegedly because of a push by their payment processors and their investors. I used to work for a company that did payment processing for high-risk sites (pornography and gambling), and b

I wonder how Apple's shareholders would react if the company threw away a market that was worth $1.8bn in revenue in 2020. Then there's China; 17% of Apple's global revenue, $43.7bn. I don't think shareholders would much

Maybe we could make this framework future-proof by using blockchains? Somehow? Maybe it can use blockchains, or it can be stored on a blockchain, or maybe both at the same time. Surely that will help society in some nonspecific, ambiguous m

Dell ships laptops with tons of Dell software, as well as tons of third-party software. Do you really think that, if they wanted to, they couldn't just update one of those pieces of software to enable remote installs? Hell, Dell has sh

They added a feature which is off by default and allows a user to select a supported installed app to use as a spam reporting app. IMHO this is great, I wish more countries would enable this feature. Something like 95% of my phone calls are

Typically no. American cities, with a few exceptions (San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and probably Los Angeles), have poor or no public transit, which is generally only for commuting and not suitable for any other kind of travel. There ar

That could also explain why they didn't bother to provide in the notification to the user why they're requesting this access: because they weren't intending to request it (yet). I find the conspiracy theories more compellin

One of these things intersecting with Earth would be an interesting way for humanity to end. The real question is, with the warping of space-time, how long would it take for us to perceive the end? Would it seem like the black hole started

Worth noting: despite the fact that this black hole would have an event horizon 4.5 cm in diameter, that doesn't mean you could get anywhere near it or put it in a box or anything.

He refuses to own a cell phone, because they're all closed-down, closed-source systems and that goes against his principles, but he's totally fine with using one when he needs to make a phone call. This comes across as startling

This article is about iCloud backups. It doesn't say either way whether or not iCloud Photos are encrypted.

by danudey 5y ago
I'm not sure that's true. A lot of people seem to have less of a problem with Apple scanning for CSAM and more of a problem that they're doing it on the phone (and looking for specific images, I guess?).

by danudey 5y ago
Do you have any general objection to client software scanning content it uploads before it uploads it, rather than afterwards? Scanning it on your phone means that unencrypted versions of your data don't have to leave your phone, which

by danudey 5y ago
The reason they don't explain how it works is that the CSAM hash matching is an algorithm from NCMEC, which was apparently originally designed by Microsoft. If you want to learn about the algorithm/hashes, you have to, among other

It's more accurate to think of it as a feature of the iCloud Photos client software (which is built into the OS). If you don't use iCloud Photos, you don't use the client software, so nothing changes.

by danudey 5y ago
The files that iCloud Photos stores are encrypted to your account and Apple can't access them. Apple scans the images on your phone so that this can continue to be the case, but they're doing a perceptual match - i.e. determinin

by danudey 5y ago
Here's how it works, in short: 1. Images which are going to be uploaded to iCloud are matched against known hashes. A match has to be very close in order to actually be flagged as a match. The results are uploaded to iCloud Photos alon

by danudey 5y ago
I think what you mean is that you don't control the iCloud Photos client, Apple does. Your photos are scanned by the iCloud Photos "client" (which is built into the OS) before uploading them to the cloud. Would it be any diff

If anything would support text/lisp, it would be the browser built into emacs that my coworker keeps pointing out VIM doesn't have.

Depends on how you set it up, but with a lot of container orchestration these days, you create a new image then point your load balancer at that instead, giving you a clean blue/green deploy without downtime.

We had some software break earlier this week because our Ansible role installs Python 3.8.10 as `python` but the system had 3.8.6 installed as `python3`. This meant that when we ran `/usr/bin/env python` it used the non-syste
