It's completely unrelated, but it reminds me of the Metasploit UAC bypass for Windows, called "ask". Metasploit just pops up a UAC prompt asking for escalation. Yes or no. Over and over and over again. On any machine logged i

I strongly agree. Anyone interested in seeing the reactions of the (admittedly largely left-leaning) Sydney reddit population should check out this thread, which is the comments on the daily case numbers (466, which is a huge number for A

What you've said as Australia very true. Australia doesn't have the same issue as other non-island countries, and in fact has some advantages over other island countries in that its population centres are few and far between -- ev

Australia has had very, very few deaths from COVID -- or even cases -- compared to most of the "Western" world. In Sydney, a city of over 5 million, the current lockdown laws were implemented when there were up to ~90 cases per da

This is a bit of a weird derail, presumably because you don't like the idea of the Playdate, but it's worth pointing out that the subscription, in the case of Playdate, works much like milk: It's better as a subscription. But

I woke up at 3AM AEST, when preorders were supposed to go live. Hit a 502 bad gateway page, which disappeared after refreshing 3 or 5 times. Put a playdate & cover into my cart, joined the queue -- which let me in to pay a bit under two

It's not entirely obvious to me that it would remain nothing but a civil issue. It may certainly start that way, but the RIAA have gone for blood for less. The only thing that matters is that the relevant parties believe it would possi

The harmonic series is a really neat thing to learn about -- one of those "art is math" kind of moments. This video does a good job of explaining it in a relatively short and simple way, but goes in-depth enough that even people w

“Phrack World News” and it’s acronym are a different usage to the word synonymous with “own” — which is not saying it wasn’t in use before counter-strike, but the link isn’t good evidence for it.
