I remember a custom CSS server doing this. The admin would fire off some command and a typical in-game browser window would show that would immediately go to a site the admins ran that hosted audio files. One would start playing. You could

Seems like the government should just remove the risk of being the business of critical supplies. Obviously we didn't have enough supplies in stockpile it would benefit the US to have a dedicated factory to produce a constant stream of

SpaceX seems big enough that they pay for a self-hosted meeting suite. I've worked at a couple places that use WebEx that is self-hosted. You can only access it via dialing the number (from any phone) or by being on the VPN to see the

In the example directory, it looks like you could compile a binary that takes a text file of ape code as a command line argument and interprets it. Sounds just like how something like python works. You could have this interpreter running on

If you have enough money to finance an art heist or buy a priceless Van Gogh from a "dealer", you probably have enough money to not go to jail over an art theft. The collector pays a replica price on paper but in reality pays much

A business owner could sell more targeted ad space instead of whatever commercials are run by the station. During college football games on ESPN, there are no beer ads and a huge amount of ads for Coke Zero. You go to a bar to drink beer so

This isn't the case 100% but I'll buy some sort of snack at Costco that sounds good (because I went to the store hungry). I'll come home and try it and either I don't like it at all or I like it enough to finish most of

I don't know why takeout at restaurants is still an option. All it takes is one asymptomatic cook to infect hundreds. I'd rather eat canned beans for the next six months than eat a virus-filled burger.

I used Xournal for a couple years in college. It was perfect in how simple it was to mix handwritten and typed notes or markup documents. The only thing is that I wish it had some sort of notebook organization feature. It would have been ni

It could have to deal with monitoring what is coming and going from the VPN'ed machine. If malware can escape the VPN tunnel, it is less likely to be detected than if it is forced to go through a firewall that is already looking for su

We already sterilized a lot of fruits, vegetables, and meat using gamma radiation sources. It's perfectly safe and has been done with animal feed much longer than with human food. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food

Are you not allowed to live in a camping trailer or RV on your own land in that town? Studio apartments are around 400-500 sqft so I'm not really sure why all homes must be larger than 800 sqft in that town. At least with a tiny house

Why does the regulatory body get to approve who and what can scan implementations of their security scheme? It seems like the ideal auditor and scanning software, in PCI DSS's eyes, would be the one that just barely checks the boxes fo

You bundle the top 10 most popular fonts and save about half the traffic: counter is ticking about 20M per minute or 201B per week, top 10 fonts were used 136B times this week, Chrome is about 3/4 of users. Bundling would save (136&#x2

It's not an advancement thing, its a cost thing. They made the filter good enough to block out the stuff people can't hear but this device is super loud so you would need additional layers of filtering to completely block it. Smar

You could just have a simple Wifi deauth beacon. You can do it with a simple ESP8266 and could either kick everything off the network or target blacklisted MAC address ranges. It's usually illegal to do this to someone else's netw

They make it a wearable to counteract the nulls caused by the multiple speakers. Random movement causes the nulls to not stay in one place for very long, limiting how much of a word or sentence a microphone could pickup. You could build a p

There is clearly some sort of graft involved here. Some Sacremento official's sibling or spouse sits on the board for whatever company is building these. If California is like other states, you get your little registration sticker in t

The newest Keysight spectrum analyzers all run Windows 10. Even an older Tektronix scope I use daily runs XP. The XP install has crapped out a few times but it has a recovery partition built in so it's trivial to restore it.
