It was basically the same things as with the Windows version. I just did some very basic skimming through the binary with 'strings' and basically found the old OpenSSL statically linked (because you can't really expect a dist

I think they can have their place in vlogging and doing small scale productions as well, where ruggedness>flexibility. though that's obviously a very small market.

and the thing about suicides is, that the rates are really low compared to everything else... (even the flu... - at least in non-gun countries). I think this is mainly fearmongering by the upper 0.1% seeing that now they might have to bear

Well, if you look at Nikon DSLRs: if you are shooting landscapes or portraits and are ok with the ergonomics of your gear/not printing _really_ big posters: your D750 is still state of the art (6 years old), so why buy new. What is a l

I don't think the convincing fake will ever happen anytime soon (no ML will give you that pixel-perfect sharpness gradient along each strand of air on a 30MP image). Generally speaking I also haven't seen a phone picture yet, whic

basically I can agree on the basic premise of shooting holiday pictures with an iphone. it works well, as long as there is lots of light. If there's less (and even just rain), quality get's wonky. Today not "can't put in

ahem, the DR Congo is basically in a state of civil war. And yeah, basically the air superiority is currently held by the nation state and its allies. A private force can turn this easily. Also, the soviet caches have dried up (while I doub

did you read the article? it specifically puts an emphasis on how these jets hadn't anything removed and even got state-of-the-art ECM pods with them.

as I outlined in the other answer, you don't need a lot of weapons to counter non-NATO/China/Russia-air forces. And I'm sure, a person buying state of the art fighter jets can buy some surplus Sidewinder or Maverick miss

you won't need the full fleet to fend off any neighboring country – and as I said they offer the whole range now: from small prop-based CAS to state of the art (at least for everyone non-NATO, China or Russia) air superiority. And I wo

or is the difference that any other tool runs in the browser (which might be old or locked down), while Zoom childishly just gets admin-privilege to turn the tables in its favour?

oh yeah, let's try to look each other into the eyes. ooooh no, seems that doesn't work. And "show people paying attention": why do a conference at all if people have no stake in it?

my university' setup has something asking for "host credentials" before starting the session, so I think it's possible. If it's just for internal use, one could just put basic HTTP(s)-auth in front?

better question: do you really think that all these digital nomad/consultant types (most of them > 30) will just go out merrily, when the first 2,3 healthy people in their big number of acquaintances are dying?

In my research field, about 80% of the software is Fortran. Actively developed Fortran. I wouldn't really compare it with 1-2-3/other DOS-apps or blackberry which are basically the software equivalent of consumables.

we are seeing a lot more dead in heavily affected regions. and there is no statistics about why they died... Personally I think this is quite worrying with a lot of people now thinking we put masks on and then can go back to work. If this i
