Depends if you can exploit the system directly from the Internet or if you need to break into hundreds of thousands of individual networks before you can trigger the attack.

You can trace out the circuits on a traditional solar panel. They aren't complex devices. If someone managed to hide some kind of control chip in there and also some sort of connectivity to trigger it then my hat is off to them. I wo

Is it the case the Mastercard/Visa will reject a site that has such content even if you can only purchase it using ValveBucks or PayPal or something? That seems plausible.

For me Proton works sometimes, but I've had much more success with the third party Glorious Eggroll versions that include the Microsoft Codecs used by many games for in-game video.

I think a bigger factor is how the war broke up a lot of the old power structures and for a couple of decades it was really possible to get ahead even if you started off poor. There was an abundance of need for labor rebuilding the world a

Sadly removing support from Chrome is effectively the same as killing it off. And the reason is Google wants people to use webp instead.

This is more narrative than coding, and it is interesting how it mostly gives you the programs and has you just debugging, at least early on. Also it teaches BASIC which is certainly a choice in 2025. My only real gripe is that the emulat

Not to put too fine a point on it but Americans are one of the primary markets for these drugs because the obesity problem is especially acute.

Given the long life and low mass of solar panels it's not clear to me that recycling is a noticeable environmental win. I'm also surprised that they list the landfill cost as $1-$5 per panel. That's extremely expensive unle

I wonder if you could mess with AI input scrapers by adding fake captions to each image? I imagine something like: (big green blob) "My cat playing with his new catnip ball". (blue mess of an image) "Ro

The only "problem" is that it was supposed to get to this point gradually not go all the way in a single leap. Plus, have you seen X lately? It's a full on Nazi bar at this point. You can't avoid overt racism anymore,

Musk boasting about how he "fixed" Grok only to have it immediately go full Nazi is so on the nose that had it been fiction people would be calling it bad writing.

> Why would one try to "verify" addresses that one knows nothing about? So you aren't shipping your product to some place that doesn't exist. Also, some KYC requires that you verify the address of the person.

Unfortunately on the later Macs the mouse was way too slow to be useful (it kept falling well behind of where I was pointing and then my mouse would exit the area). Clicking on the emulator is when the mouse suddenly acted like I was alway

There are even Easter Eggs and additional tasks. If you click on the system description button for each emulator it will give you a list. I couldn't get the later emulators to work correctly though. My mouse kept flying off to the ri

Wow, ambitious project. Anybody who has tried to verify addresses can tell you that the staggering number of different formats and conventions around the world make it and almost intractable problem. So many countries have wildly informal

Trees in cities are expensive to maintain, which is why they're often on the chopping block when budgets get tight. This is especially true in places like Las Vegas where there is little natural tree cover due to the climate. You hav

If that's the case then why is it so heavy? In comparison The Gimp consumes about 80MB of memory and burns a trivial amount of when not being actively used.

If you are uploading it to a website you are sharing it. Even if the image is supposedly "private" you have to assume it will be leaked at some point. Remember, the cloud is just someone else's computer, and they can do wha

Yes, but websites frequently strip all or almost all Exif data from uploaded images because some fields are used by stalkers to track people down to their real address.

Tesla is a meme stock. Any relation to their fundamentals is purely a coincidence.

In theory you can send the images over as X backing stores and do just that. But I'm not sure it was implemented that way. I remember GTK 1 was well optimized for X and you could run GTK applications over slow modem lines quite comfor

There is no thermal mass. It's almost pure vacuum but the handful of particles that are out there are whizzing around at high energies that make them very hot. Interesting to think that while it's not a concern to Voyager at its
