So you were using untrusted video files that required the LucasArts Smush codec? Again, if YOU highly appreciate their service, that's great, but FFMPEG isn't fixing a codec for a decades old game studio, so all Google has done

BINGO! Google doesn't care at all about user security. - Just yesterday there was a story on here about how Google found esoteric bugs in FFMPEG, and told volunteers to fix it. - Another classic example, about how Google doesn't g

What a silly comment, why would they? - Toyota doesn't mention the Toyota war. - Microsoft doesn't mention the millions world wide who use their OS for nefarious purposes. - Starbucks doesn't mention that one time someone go

I'm surprised they can't just put a filter on the digital versions to achieve a similar look and feel to the 35mm version. It is clear that the animators factored in the colour changes from the original media to 35mm, so it seems

My comment was clearly a joke; however yes, in the jurisdiction I am living in, you would be assisting in euthanasia, which would render you liable for murder.

It took them 3 years to achieve this, so yes, they can change that fast... Did you not read the article? It's hard to take your comment in good faith if you didn't.

1. The company was founded Zhao Jianjun and Zhao Jiaxing who are brothers, I don't know where you got the husband/wife sole ownership from. 2. As you admitted, they have completely separated into 2 separate companies, claiming tha

To be fair, I think this is most countries, they just don't have as much political power as the US. The UK's Online Safety Act is a good example. My country (Australia) tried to legislate in 2016 that no one is allowed to use encr

TP-Link's Headquarters are in California, they have a branch in Singapore and they manufacture in Vietnam, which of those were the threat exactly? This whole thing is reminiscent of the TikTok CEO Chew Shou Zi - "But, I'm Sin

I started using powder about a year ago, because of this guy. It legitimately works so much better than pods, because of the bit you 'spill' into the pre-wash part; and it's cheaper!

At least they are disguising it. Australia has, in the state of SA the "Police Complaints and Discipline Act 2016", that expressly allows police officers to investigate their own corruption, and when they inevitably conclude they

To be fair, even ignoring the Robots.txt is illegal in most western countries. I was a technical witness a while back, for a case about a bot ignoring the robots.txt. I said it was akin to a peeping tom ignoring a "no trespassing"
