Wasn't int21h a call to MS-DOS functions? (Also understood by Windows) I'm not sure it would work if you stuck this in a boot sector.

Upload a file consisting of all zeroes (or any other known content for that matter) and now the contents of the screen is the secret used to XOR the input. Surely you meant something a bit more substantial?

I find it super interesting - but it's beyond my capability to contribute so I keep quiet for the moment. I imagine many people would be doing the same.

Not all of them, but the A, A+ and zero do. Basically all models _without_ a built-in USB hub work. The Pi 4 is capable of OTG only over the USB-C port, and only with a recent firmware. They support a bunch of modes, like Mass Storage, Ethe

The kind of people who expect to push untested code to a production farm without the slightest intuition that it may impact reliability and operations are unfortunately a fixture of certain organizations, and after having to argue with them

It's part of their mission. Back in the day they helped make DES stronger against differential cryptanalysis, which was unknown at the time.

You could frame this a some kind of regulatory capture by the current monopolists.

The Bloomberg article about this is itself paywalled. Sad, but poetically fitting.

By "Failed to account for that" I mean that they failed to consider how much software has been produced outside their control, so they should have been more considerate with the timeline for dropping compatibility. And there'

Yeah that looks like a lot of time, except we're looking at some hard evidence saying it wasn't, after all. Apple helped push forward the state of the art on many things by dropping legacies (No floppy. No CD. No more serial, para

I'm quite surprised Apple isn't providing a VM wrapper to run these apps in a more or less seamless way, for at least the next 2-3 versions. This is leaving a lot of software, and a lot of people, without alternatives.

I could hardly care less how modern a piece of software "feels" as long as it's usable. It doesn't stop being usable 5 years later due to being out of fashion. Many recent redesigns (hello Gmail) are quite the opposite t

False dichotomy - autonomous cars need cameras too, some of them with the same point of view of existing mirrors.

The roads are indeed super dangerous in my opinion (I rented a scooter once and truly feared for my life when huge buses lost their patience and overtook me during switchbacks, after that experience only cars!) and additionally you really n

Seconding this. I was recently for 2 weeks in Santorini, which is considered pretty expensive compared to the rest of Greece, and everything was actually very affordable (esp. if you learn to keep your distance from the more tourist-infeste

English is not my first language, but yes, to my knowledge that is grammatically correct. Maybe it is a bit ambiguous, although from the context it should be reasonably clear that I was with my (now-ex) girlfriend for that period of time, a

For-profit dating sites also share a common problem: they need to extract revenue out of you, but the more successful they are at being dating sites, the sooner they lose you as a customer. All the problems we discuss are pretty much relate

I met my previous girlfriend on OkC, with whom I was for 3 years, and the current one, 1 year and counting, hopefully a lot of counting. There are definitely fewer people than e.g. Tinder, but they tend to be a lot more real vs spammers &#x

Write to Apple and plead the case properly, framing it as a privacy/tracking issue, which it is. They recently took a lot of steps to safeguard users’ privacy. If they kill it by embedding a de-amp’er in safari, the incentive and ROI t

The people aware of the acquisition price (or that an acquisition even took place) are likely 3-4 orders of magnitude fewer than the amount of people by which it grew since. Also they were most likely either already users, or were already n

This sounds fixable with some technology. So, I'm dreaming here, but a scooter with 2-3 times the battery life, able to self balance and limp (1-2mph, with flashing lights) on the edge of the road (or sidewalk if allowed) back to a cha

It's also down to how potentially dangerous something can be. Depending on what actually fails, a charger could electrocute you, and it's cheap to both make and replace ("here's a new one"). A butterfly keyboard won

No offense but your point of being reliable by virtue of being a growing startup is rather laughable. YC money or not, startups come and go, sometimes going with more of their users’ data than they should. You could have avoided making that
