It used to be more of a problem back when not every popular firmware had a way to reflash from SD/via OTA, because you could get stuck on a firmware with no way to flash out of it. The current solutions work pretty well, though I still

I own both an "old" X4 as well as a "new"/"domestic"/locked X3. The pogo cable transfers data, and the device shows up in dmesg when connected, but disappears shortly after. The cable itself works fin

They disabled the ability to USB flash on every device not bought from their official store.

That's, in my opinion, a pretty vanilla starter stack. Could probably argue that you don't need replicated storage, and that ArgoCD is nicer to look at, but Talos in particular simplifies a lot of the deployment because there&#x27

That's actually really easy: 1. be government agency 2. pay 30-70% less than private sector companies would for a similar position 3. receive applicants that are 30-70% less competent Bonus: - have 30+ year old systems nobody understan

Sensitive data written down on a sticky note is arguably more secure than that same data sitting on an unencrypted hard drive, at least in a home setting.

Kind of. There's an "unlocker" that just spoofs their OTA endpoint to flash custom firmware because xteink decided to not implement TLS validation, though they could theoretically change that at any point. Xteink also claims

The X3/X4 are such neat devices with a great community behind them, shame the manufacturer decided to lock down devices sold on AliExpress in an attempt to funnel potential customers into their own store instead of embracing the open s

The "CTF for fun" aspect has been dead ever since the winning teams had thousands of dollars of rewards waiting for them. Of course people are going to use anything that's not explicitly forbidden by the rules to win. Introdu

Vista was fine from the get-go if you had enough (>=4GB) RAM, which OEMs mostly didn't bother shipping. My ME machine would reliably BSOD when I opened / closed the CD tray.

It absolutely does happen that way in Germany. We had Fiber Company A rip up the entire city a year ago, and Fiber Company B ripped up the streets again just a few weeks ago. ETA from my ISP to actually get any of those lines into my apartm

Don't forget that ActiBlizz are also pretty much the only ones regularly taking legal action against pay2cheat developers, see Bossland/EngineOwning.

My understanding is that the responses are signed, but in a way that prevents linking signatures across vendors, so the same card being used for verification on different sites could not be linked, while the same card being used multiple ti

I've been really enjoying all these articles proposing solutions to anonymous age verification, mainly because most of them are written as if this has never been implemented in the real world. German IDs support age verification that j

Yeah, it tends to get stuck in loops like that a lot with everything set to default. I wonder if they distilled Gemini at some point, I've seen that get stuck in a similar "I will now do [thing]. I am preparing to do [thing]. I wi

Qwen3.5 pretty much requires a long system prompt, otherwise it goes into a weird planning mode where it reasons for minutes about what to do, and double and triple checks everything it does. Both Gemini's and Claude Opus 4.6's pr

OpenAI also does a really fun thing where prepaid credits just straight up expire after a year, which is straight up completely illegal in most (all?) of the EU.

You're developing "certbot, but it's paid and sends private keys around the network instead of generating the csr locally"? Why? Who's the target audience? Platforms that can't run certbot, or any of the infini

Running modern full-fat Linux on anything sub-512MB isn't a great experience unless you're willing to do a lot of tweaking, or running specialized distros like alpine. If dropping the whole "vm" thing is an option, you c

Yes, 100ml from the same store I bought a liter from for 40€ in 2015 now cost 56€. There is currently a tax of 0.32€ per ml on liquid, no matter if you're buying the base or the finished product.

Refillable vapes used to be the standard around a decade ago, back when a liter of vape base (without nicotine) cost 30€ at max. Disposable vapes pretty much didn't exist. Now the same liter of vape base (still without nicotine) is a &

Lack of centralization is one part of it (see also: communal digital services), yes, but the complete lack of standards and guidelines is also a massive issue. I tried buying a Deutschlandticket from the DB Navigator app a while back, and i

This is a massive pet peeve of mine as well. As far as I'm aware there's not a single consumer CPU listed in the Windows 11 compatibility list that doesn't have builtin TPM2.0.
