How much involvement did framework have in this becoming a thing? I'm asking because I want to get a feel for how long a decent (probably third-party) ARM mainboard might take.

Browser features to block autoplay do work. (most default to allow muted videos) Videos won't play unless they're started by javascript triggered by a small handful of user generated events. i.e. if the .play() is further down the

I don't think I tried with anything older than CS5 stuff, but blocking the program in the firewall and putting in any valid CD key (people posted them online) worked flawlessly. I assume it worked this way so people with airgapped mach

Web browsers' and wget use the same HTTP features for resuming downloads (range-requests) so if it works in one it should work in the other. I've never had enough data in a google takeout that it would fail partway though.

Does usb4 require any circuitry in the cable? I'd expect a 20-odd connector cable to be available for $7 (direct from china) pretty easily. I haven't bought many, but the best type C cables (usb3) I ever bought were €2.12 each.

Don't you have to be party to the conversation to be 1-party? Should still be illegal to record one you're not a part of. (if such laws even apply in person rather than just over phones)

I always install fail2ban or something like it on servers I want to have SSH on. Really cuts down on the log volume, even if I have locked myself out occasionally. The thing about port scanning is that it's cheap as hell. There's

Reading examples of unwritten rules in the English language always feels kind of unsettling to me. Like the order adjectives are supposed to appear in.

Very nice finding a random VGA cable on the road. Happened to me once or twice, but never when I wanted one of them.

Is it inkdown or bluestone? Looks like the repo is in the middle of a rename or something. Cool concept.

If you strictly want to use bash, zenity and kdialog exist. I don't think you can create complex layouts with them, but calling either to get a dialog window is incredibly easy.

It was a pretty smart decision by gorhill to make a different content blocker for manifest V3 compliance rather than having ublock origin have wildly different capabilities depending on the browser it's installed in.

> it was gibberish, because it inexplicably shuffled all the character codepoints. I forget what they called it, but that was a feature touted by Adobe and others a few years ago as a sort of pseudo-DRM. I have encountered many pdfs like

I assume when you copied that text out of the browser it appeared as "offline", unless you had an email client that did rich text. Would have been funny to get a bug email saying it should be "offline" but it's &quo

Is this the same exploit that was publicized earlier, or has theflow found a second one?

I like that you linked to a javascript miner. Makes it really easy to try instead of needing to write up some code. Design/colour scheme is nice too.

At the very least there's enough neutrino detectors on earth that we should have some warning a while before we can see it happen. (neutrinos are less affected by gravity while travelling away from the exploding star so they'll re

How would a smart contract release a decryption key at some point in the future without external input like this? Couldn't someone just fork the chain and manipulate it with arbitrary amounts of self-mined ether?

I think they'd rather you play the game on their streaming service that runs the game from a ps3-alike sitting in a rack.

Each ps3 was cheaper than the per-CPU cost of what you'd get from IBM. I'm sure you'd make it up in power usage pretty quick though.

Since it was announced, my assumption has been that microsoft is putting python in excel like this to make using python to manipulate spreadsheets less common since that'd eat a lot of their moat around their program. If it were common

Is there any additional processing overhead to doing that? I think you can have the console play CD tracks, or subsets of tracks basically for free, which is why most games did that.

Thanks. From the title I assumed it was about knowing when a thing you made or are selling is mature enough to post on here.

Heresphere is even better as a VR player, if you buy or pirate it. It has decent scale and position adjustment.

Snapdrop is fantastic. I have an app version installed on my android device so it'll appear in the share menu.

I am surprised this happened later than limited photo sharing did.

From what I hear, it was previously owned by private equity.

Can you even put music tracks on a ps1 game without them being CD audio tracks? I thought that was integral to how playing them back worked.

Don't know if other manufacturers do it, but Martin-Baker give you a branded tie if your life is saved by one of their seats. It's covered in logos that look like the ejection handle.

I think some work measurably better when you know it's a placebo and not something that may or may not work. I've long considered manufacturing and selling something that does that, but I think the homeopathists have the market se
