“Innocent” third parties who scored a great deal on discount “Prol1fic” chips on AliBaba? Provenance is an important part of logistics which you lose as soon as you source parts from third party sites like Amazon, eBay, AliBaba and so forth

Your definition of sabotage is quite broad and creative. There is no damage to the hardware. The driver is simply not operating with hardware that Prolific didn’t get paid to support.

It is beneficial for their chips: the driver will work exactly as advertised and tested. The drivers do not break clones on purpose, the drivers simply don’t enable clones to work. Write your own driver if you want to use the clones. It is

Yet if Prolific support the fakes, they end up wasting time and money trying to provide tech support to people experiencing issues with fakes, or having hostile customers trying to get refunds on fakes from Prolific. The better option is to

What lesson is there to learn? Why do you single out Tesla? The title is wrong, this is a generic attack against BLE.

How many fires did it take to learn lessons about dispensing, storing and carrying petrol? We’re quite happy with ships have huge reserves of flammable liquids (“fuel”) so why are batteries such a concern? Gas (methane, LPG, etc) doesn’t ge

I don’t think it’s fair or reasonable to hire someone to help produce documentaries and then expect them to produce “ow my balls”. I don’t think it’s fair or reasonable to hire someone to produce web sites in Flask/Vuex and then expect

Someone expressed a problem they have which having a map helps them with, the reply was that people who need maps are lazy (despite the existence of maps suggesting that needing them is endemic to human existence). Whose experience am I tri

Minors would end up seeing the same “sort by new” version of the site that everyone who sorts by new instead of hot/rising/popular/etc will see.

This won’t ban minors from the Internet, it will go a long way to helping avoid bad habits like catching up on social media turning into a three hour binge.

Yet here I am deliberately avoiding the features that Minnesota wants to ban. There is nothing hamfisted and misguided about this, the point is simply to ban the social media equivalent of casinos where the entire point of certain features

One feature I miss from Preview was being able to define bookmarks so I could make the TOC of a PDF clickable. Still, being able to reorder pages, insert new ones or delete obsolete ones is pretty useful for scrapbooking an instruction manu

Just because you don’t have the problem doesn’t mean you should trivialise someone else’s experience. How rude. Try listening more, and hold back from telling people how to solve problems they didn’t ask for help solving.

The best place to archive it is your current computer which you use every day, ideally with a VM of the machine that can run that code (maybe Open Virtualisation Format can keep it useable longer?). Then hope that when you want to use that

The discovery channel didn’t try to pretend it was an engine fire. They set out to plan a plane crash with the full involvement of relevant authorities.

What would raise my eyebrows is not using real world examples to help children understand mathematics. There are very few people who can handle completely abstract mathematics at any age, and it has been necessary to use examples such as co

It’s odd that you don’t instantly recognise your objection as whitewashing. Covering up problems by referring to state-level statistics instead of looking at demographics is racist propaganda. Race is indeed a political tool, as are efforts

Lots of words there with no evidence. The actual training teachers are receiving is that there are many ways to teach things like long division, and insisting on only using one method is not useful to students. As an example, when teaching

For the technology we’re talking about a couple of cans of black spray paint and five seconds of operation would be far more effective at destroying the evidence than demolishing the buildings or machines containing the technology. Why the

If the key logger is in a peripheral then the TOTP/password manager can still protect from replay attacks. If the key logger is on the computer then it has access to the password vault and the vault secret.

One piece of e waste I had was an entire MacBook Air which was bricked by a USB-C hub with power delivery which Dane highly recommended. Apple fixed that problem by updating their firmware. Apparently even Apple has trouble with USB-C.

Same reason Dell adds USB-C, DP, HDMI to their monitors: so you can use their product in preference to someone else’s. Buy the Apple monitor, be impressed, buy the Studio to go with it.
