My thought as well. Keep this big thing outside. Apparently LiFePO4 can emit more hydrogen than normal Li-ion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFhSI0IcVtA

This is more concise and clearer. Their first one mocked them being called undocumented, putting it in quotes, when they were in fact undocumented. The main point is that if malicious software has access to these commands, it has access to

Just wait until these security researchers learn about the LDR instruction that malicious software could use to read any memory.

I installed Kubuntu 24 on a generic laptop (Machreator N17) and it worked fine other than having to disable D3cold in the BIOS so Wi-Fi works when waking from sleep. I did spend hours before the BIOS setting trying alternate rtw_8821 driver

I enjoyed it. I wish it had gave performance metrics so I could track improvement in speed.

I was hoping you could just provide an iterator_traits with a uint8_t difference type, but this is tied to the iterator type rather than specified separately, so you'd need some kind of iterator wrapper to do this.

What if you used a password service, but modified the password it puts in manually (and didn't let it update when you log in)? Would an attacker try variations, or just move on when your password manager-provided login doesn't wor

...in part because transactions can be reversed. The flip-side is that sellers get ripped off often by these reversals.

I just don't understand why one would intentionally throw chance into a tool that one wants to be 100% robust. It's baffling.

I assumed it needed to be logged in to an account to do the update and install apps (like how Google requires a login to open the Play Store).

This response is good because it means Brother has basically committed to not doing this, so if it's found they are they'll have to reverse that with an update to save face.

My thought as well. What constitutes a real win? It's random so how can they really say what kind of win it "should" have been? Ultimately there was a luck factor they hadn't planned on: the chance of a programming error

I bought one ticket once ($1 or whatever). I reasoned that if the universe wanted to give me a win, I had to help it by purchasing a ticket. Apparently it didn't have that in mind so that's all I'll ever buy.

I have a HIKMICRO mini USB-C thermal camera and out of the box it worked like a normal UVC camera so I could use other standard webcam-compatible apps to view it (thermal apps tend to have choppy video capture). I was reviewing it so I upda

I had an iPhone I was fixing up. I backed up what was necessary, disconnected the old iCloud account, and created a new one to use when updating the OS. I created a spam-blocking address (mailgw) for this account. It created fine and I logg

So there are two capacities, that of the well and that of generation (oversized with respect to the well). On average this varying scheme utilizes the well at 100% of capacity (the expensive part to increase), and the turbine generation at

There might be a difference in robustness. There's a monetary consequence to this developer for getting it wrong.

It would be interesting if payments bought a certain amount of saved space, and the rate was based on current storage prices, to keep it competitive with the cost of just expanding storage.

How much time is saved by not comparing full file contents? Given that this is a tool some people will only run occasionally, having it take 30 seconds instead of 15 is a small price to pay for ensuring it doesn't treat two differing f

It's a good warning to not do this unless you're having problems. I'm the type who would do this just to avoid potential future problems.

Something I wish I had done more. You think you don't need to make a note because it's fresh in your head at the time, but years later, even the context is gone. Expecting to remember arcane solutions to things you do rarely is un

There wouldn't be any advantage to adding a boolean exclusive or operator, unlike with || and &&.
