The UK joined in '73. After the terms were finalised there was a referendum in '75 where the public agreed to stay in. "Never given any kind of referendum" is far fetched.

I expect no-one will see this comment, but anyway... I just installed 92 and the awful new tab bar has actually gotten worse since 91. The tab bar and toolbar now merge into a formless grey mass. According to my settings I'm using the

The US did a half-assed clear up. They dumped tons of radioactive waste into a crater on Runit Island and capped it in concrete, which is now deteriorating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runit_Island

And if you don't enable javascript you only get two paragraphs of text. Yet the article's complete HTML is hidden in the page as a quoted string in a javascript object. Brilliant!

Also, some home computer games from the 80s can be really hard to play with any extra latency so a CRT helps.

Yes, so I assumed it is running on the client, but for all I know they could be encrypting the message and sending an image hash to Facebook.

There seem to be two things happening. When a user reports a post it is (unsurprisingly) forwarded to the moderators. Additionally, there is some kind of AI CSAM detector, which automatically forwards posts. In both cases, it also forwards

Yes, but I guess that a committed crook can clock drives just as they clock cars.

Can't you already hide your implementation details using a closure?

I would guess money plays a part. The commercial prospects for discovering a new fundamental particle and discovering a cure for prostate cancer are quite different.

You could losslessly translate PDFs with compression to PDFs with no compression (bitmap images excepted), tar them up and compress the lot. This would get you a fair bit of gain for little pain. However, I guess they use .zip STORE becaus

Sadly, “privacy-preserving” surveillance is already a thing. After the Snowden revelations the NSA didn't stop collecting everyone's data, they just refined the legal justification. They claim that it isn't illegal surveill

WPF is nuts. It appeared to have native controls but in reality they reimplemented everything, with a unique style definition for every control on every supported version of Windows. It would have been a huge amount of work. It seems lik

And without the vaccine we would have worse problems. Most of the hospitalised in the UK are among the unvaccinated young. If the old weren't vaccinated either then the pressure on the hospitals would be far worse.

But can you enforce click-through licenses in France? If Entr'Ouvert had chosen the alternative route and sued as a contract violation, then Orange would have claimed that they never accepted the contract and the matter could only be d

I guess they have an automatic system to do the same thing as your exploit. After they misconfigured Akamai, their system and your system were racing to claim the exposed S3 buckets.

I understand that losing the public key doesn't matter cryptographically, which is why I said "it is not technically unrecoverable". Also, the encryption happens on the server. If you protected the private key with a passphr

It makes some kind of sense for them to keep the private key. Most customers are more concerned about data loss from losing the key than snooping. Except, they say your data is unrecoverable if you lose your public key (which presumably se

Fill a small plastic pot with water. Place it on the top shelf of your freezer. When it has frozen place a penny on top. If you find that the penny has moved to the bottom of the pot then your freezer has defrosted at some point. This is

And worse, the apparent inability to move the taskbar to the right hand side of the screen. This takes up less of the valuable vertical space, but shortens the taskbar so small icons are even more important.

Nextcloud's marketing is very business-focused. It does file hosting and chat rooms, which is great, but does it have anything like the Facebook feed? My elderly relatives don't want to go hunting for information. They want to

It's difficult. Sometimes in England a landlord will be attempting to illegally evict a lawful (non-squatting) tenant, so the tenant calls the police for help and is surprised when the police assist in the illegal eviction! Obviously

Thank you, that's lovely. Many of them are reminiscent of the covers of 50s scifi novels. Converted to a direct download link: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1EJofIqhvHhh2...
