I researched it a while ago as a Russian. You can't just visit North Korea by booking a ticket and going there. You have to buy a tour, and even then, while you're there, you can't move freely, can't interact with the lo

I'm not sure about the speed argument. My city uses stored-value cards based on Mifare Classic and Mifare Plus (depending on the type of the ticket). If you live here and use the public transit with any regularity, you don't stop

That's different. Lithography masks are expensive. It's cheaper to make them once and use them for different models of the same chip than to make a separate set for each model. My understanding is that in this particular case they

Our civilization desperately needs a way to modify modern microelectronics at home or at least in a well-equipped repair shop. Regular people being able to commit contempt of companies' business models en masse seems to work well to ke

Android doesn't have to remain a Google product though. Google is mostly a terrible maintainer of AOSP.

Copying my tweet from 3 days ago: Can Google please lay off their entire design department already? I'm tired of redoing things in apps for the sake of them working the same but looking different. Android is a done product. It needs no

Yes except classes in schools usually start at X:00 and breaks between them are X:45 - (X+1):00. The first class is usually at 9:00.

You can't enforce them, but for the entire preceding history of the internet, most crawlers respected them. But then AI happened and those companies decided that their noble mission of forcing their slop into as many facets of human li

What about AI not respecting robots.txt? I myself have never ran into this, but I've seen complaints of many people who did.

You can do this to Windows Update too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the emulation of an MMU-equipped CPU a fundamentally slow and unoptimizable task? Apple's Rosetta and its Microsoft equivalent only work as fast as they do because they only run userspace co

Group policies and registry keys are gentle suggestions. Deleting or renaming files is "I wasn't asking, it's my computer not yours" kind of approach.

I can reproduce this. It might be only happening for Russian IPs because it does not happen if I use my VPN. (The author is Ukrainian, so nothing surprises me at this point)

And what will prevent people from patching their Teams clients to still allow screenshots? What will prevent someone from building an unofficial Teams client from scratch that has none of this bullshit in the first place?

It depends a lot on how you train and incentivize them. Most big-corp social media seems to not care very much about false positives, but it doesn't have to be like that.

It does look nice. I can't seem to figure out how to open posts and profiles though. Neither single nor double-clicking does anything. Sometimes double-clicking a post that contains a link would open the link in the web browser. The on

There already is an unending number of ways for just one app to waste charge on battery-powered devices. It all already relies on developers not unnecessarily running energy-intensive tasks, either intentionally or accidentally. Adding one

Modern video projectors also display color channels sequentially and also exhibit that effect. Also, this particular CRT technology was not only used in oscilloscopes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-q8ehzHeQQ

Any client-side limitations are not part of the security model because you don't control other people's devices. Even with an unmodified app, they're trivially bypassed using a rooted/jailbroken device.

I argue that such a thing as a "true write-once-run-anywhere universal VM that is installed in billions of consumer devices" is not needed in this form. It creates more problems than it solves.

I wouldn't call turning browsers into application runtimes "major innovation". Let browsers be HTML document viewers, please . Treat JS like a macro language that doesn't need to be as close in performance to hand-writt

I was going to say that first versions were technically that, but apparently Excel was never released for DOS, Excel 2.0 was already a Windows application, and 1.0 was only available on Mac.

Your end-to-end encryption is compromised because I can read the messages directly from your app's local database in plaintext on a rooted device.

It's clear to me that the intent with this 30-second timeout was that it's better for you to have a possibly half-broken but at least somehow usable desktop than be stuck with the loading screen forever, having to boot into a di
