I think "sell the HP-35 for 3.14 × cost of materials" cool-HP became Agilent, right? If I wanted to follow the trail of awesomeness what forest should I be sticking my nose to the ground in? :)

Sorry to hear the finger flick doesn't work :(. TIL about dewaxing (why anybody would even think that would help...). Sound targeting is IMO something only worth doing in an especially-exotic clinical setting in particular - like fMRI

(FWIW: The Blackhat link elsewhere in the thread clarifies that the root-of-trust feature is new in Gen10/ILO5. I don't know a good source to cite, but it sounds plausible that ILO<=4 might not use 202x-vintage secure boot. Not

I empathize and relate. Out of curiosity, were you actually handling each WebSocket connection using an independent PHP-FPM instance? If so (wow), how many concurrent connections did you manage to sustain at peak? The only experience I&#x27

SecureROM in the iPhone 6 didn't properly configure the MMU before initialising the NAND, so it turned out to be possible to interpose between the NVME controller and main CPU (which had just started using PCI-e fabric for I/O, II

So what'd The Internet People™ do to it, exactly? DDoS the WebSocket server? Write Very Bad URLs? Worse? :( I wanted to see. Not fair, takers away of nice things. >:/

WebSockets in PHP huh? That's a pretty cool approach, although it naturally scales terribly (sadly D:).

Hmm, that's a pretty powerful proof-of-work mechanic you've got there. "DefragCoin", anyone? Now we just need a way to achieve unilateral consensus about whether a given HDD is dead... (/s)

That would be untenable - I wouldn't be able to cleanly `gcc -o blah blah.c` without making an explicit decision, and by extension wouldn't be able to (continue to) compile existing code either. Rebuilds on every codebase everywhe

T: I'm curious if you ever listened to exceptionally loud sounds at or near the problem frequencies either once-off or over an extended period of time. I also wonder if/how well the technique where you put your hands over your ear

That's kinda getting into sequencer territory, but also sounds fun.

But you're still trying, and deep down you want to keep trying. So listen to that, even though it feels stupid because it isn't working.

There's a lot of very interesting information here that only prompts further curiosity. Music sounds important to you. How impactful is the hearing damage you speak of? Why can't you use power tools? Are they unbearably loud to us

O.o I was debating pulling my phone out wondering if playing with multitouch would be worth it, but definitely had to double check after reading this. Yep, this version doesn't support multitouch! Can only agree that would be much much

The GP comment is an app for macOS. Do you know of any good, reputable blockers for iOS?

by exikyut 5y ago
TIL the number represents how many times an app has been (re)downloaded, not how many active users it has! Makes perfect sense really... especially considering it's so easy to assume "downloads" = "users"...

And admittedly it would have qualified "this is only a server and doesn't come with a client" too. Ah well.

by exikyut 5y ago
Very useful to know. Thanks for the reply!

by exikyut 5y ago
That's a very good distinction, which my previous comment didn't really properly consider. Completely agree there.
