Iirc the social engineering script was to “hold the alt key and repeatedly tap f4”. That has the two keys far enough from each other in prose to trick more people.

I lightly follow the current understanding of telomerase, which is responsible for adding back the “buffers” (telomeres) at the end of genes that RNA can’t copy. It was clear this was part of what we’d need for anti-aging treatment, but las

Not sure why I got the downvote. I was snarky but not sarcastic. Ask any Tesla certified body shop. Watch any YouTube video. They’re notorious for bad finishes. Hell, I found out that mine came with undisclosed damage that required bondo to

It doesn’t seem to be a major vulnerability unless you have the ability to guess keys you don’t have access to via hash and get their invalidation notice. You still would have to force a hash collision, won’t know which key caused the inval

Time zones are ever changing. Maybe they’re looking up a database? Edit: actually screen time is the feature that measures how long you’re spending on each device each week. I’m not sure why that needs to talk to the cloud unless devs also

Apple documents their dependencies on other Cloud providers. Facebook has its own DCs but I think they’re sometimes colocated with cloud providers’.

Honestly I think the touchbar is for Apple’s original constituents: creatives. I don’t use it when doing software development, but it’s amazing when I’m going through scuba movies. I can scrub through videos to get the perfect frame for my

Are you suggesting it’s faster or slower when you wiggle the mouse? If it’s slower it could be because you put more events in the event queue that have to be pumped.

True! I know some of the people involved in the windows update bar. Since cpu and dusk are so different across devices it’s hard to know actual time it will take. Instead teams divided their packages into theoretical weights and the progres

Hell, registry tweaking can be so dangerous that Windows keeps a copy of important keys for the last known good boot. That’s what “safe mode” is: it uses that key instead of the current one.

Also the Windows EULA traditionally limits damages to the cost you paid for Windows.

How the heck are you supposed to use the backup without the registry? You might as well just handpick which document folders you want to back up. Without the registry you can’t even load a DLL; interfaces are loaded via UUID which seeks to

That distinction exists in many systems. E.g. for cloud events, 404 is considered with skepticism because it could be a race condition in provisioning or transient issue whereas 410 requires data streams to be cut off.

I’ve seen this technique used in old codebases for strings. A typedef was made for a char* whose -1 address was a count and there wasn’t a zero terminator. This was useful since string length checks were now O(1) and string manipulation can

Working in Windows I found that there are two magic localizations: non localized is a default failsafe that is a copy of EN-US. The other fun one is “pseudo-loc” which is used in testing; it replaces letters with similar ones that have acce
