There's a piece of merch that I want to buy that will take weeks to ship to where I live. I currently have nothing that's capable of playing optical disks, so I was looking into buying a drive that can help me out (I'd rather

I've looked into that, but it looks like the drives are ten or twenty times as expensive as a normal DVD reader capable of reading discs. Any time anyone publishes firmware for a new, affordable drive that can rip movie discs, the driv

Yes, as the article states, the $22 is for buying a USB DVD drive. I don't think many PCs come with optical media readers these days.

Hopefully anyone who wants to run anything other than Windows on an Nvidia-produced device has learned their lessons at this point. Although, a cursed Nvidia Hackintosh would be extremely funny. For normal people, there are three computer o

The problem with these chips on Linux is that something has been happening for months but you still end up needing to download special editions of ARM Linux images to get these devices to work properly. Some distros still need extracting

I wish more companies would try to serve tiny shops at the same time they serve multi million euro companies. The requirements for the two are very different, as is the support and customer care requirement. Integrating directly with Adyen

Aside from one or two very bad Bluetooth and WiFi bugs (the worst ones usually being device-specific driver bugs), Android's OS itself actually doesn't have a huge external attack surface. Even if you do break in, the SELinux secu

With enough encryption, obfuscation, and security-through-obscurity, you can make it extremely difficult to obtain those keys. Companies like Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony ship consoles that are the target of a very motivated black market&#

I think I didn't put the emphasis right in my comment above. The code is still fully open source, but the project that produces the code isn't. It's not dissimilar to other projects producing open source software. This is the

This just proves that Go URL formatting was a mistake. IPv6 addresses existing long before Go decided on how they should be formatting strings. Python has a similar problem with parts of its standard library. This is what happens when langu

Looks like South Korea is taking a page out of its northern neighbour's book. Will this impact software exported out of Korea? I can't imagine Samsung will gain any popularity if their phones come prepackaged with AI censorship to

The same can be said about any computer that runs macOS or Windows. Being able to run your own software doesn't have to be a vulnerability per se. The reflashing interface being available over Bluetooth is weird but you will need physi

Windows has had the rename feature for ages and I don't know why Apple can't just copy that. They've copied plenty of other stuff, why stick with the weirdly restrictive desktop naming scheme?
