This whole saga unfolding makes me think of a smaller scale drama thing that illustrates some of what feels so surreal about it to me. Recently, the subreddit r/pokemonswordandshield had a meltdown where, allegedly, the “owner” of the

I certainly could still run it, but it’s just not worth it to me anymore. Over time I gradually stopped caring because it wasn’t a rewarding way to spend my time anymore. This thread just jogged some really old memories.

Wow. A bit of a digression here but it appears they actually consider email a valid avenue of legal service? That blows my mind. I don’t even check my work email every 18 hours, and I haven’t looked through my home email in 3 or 4 years exc

I literally was that photographer before DSLRs got affordable. I love film and still own some extremely expensive film kit, but it is still a hassle. And when it’s not my job and real life kicks in, the fact remains that there used to be

That’s one key feature, but another is the real-time approval UI. I’d love to have that for my other network devices like printers, video game consoles, etc. If I had that I might even consider off-the-shelf “smart home” stuff but for now I

As a user, the reason I run it is specifically to break certain software “features” like telemetry and automatic updates without consent.

Why would I continue to use that app? If anything that’s the kind of app I run little snitch to detect and excise from my life.

I thought that was referring to skill, not starting wealth - the latter would be covered anyway by “owning the means of production”

Same here. I never found a system that fit the way I wanted to work as well as Aperture did, so I quit bothering to drag around my DSLR. Then I quit bothering to offload pics from my phone. Then I quit bothering to take them in the first pl

Any equivalent behavior on Linux could fairly easily be intercepted anyway by adding hooks to the equivalent service process though, right?

I think copyright as you mention here is the right concept, or at least a lot closer. In particular, the limits on copyright. If someone is reciting a list of facts in public, they can’t expect people not to record those facts, because copy

I can see how it’s not obvious, but the parentheses at the end are the answer to that (or maybe they were edited in after your question). You can use TLS without ciphering but with signatures to authenticate messages.

I believe they are used in certain models of CT scanner, MRI or some such expensive medical equipment. That probably drives at least some of the demand.

The title is actually wrong - the -O0 version is correct, the -O3 version is not (despite giving the output the author expected). Casting the value to double ends up converting the long value 0x7fffffffffffffff to the nearest double value:

I have a feeling that for a project funded by Cards _against_Humanity_, such a study would just be seen as a way to reveal methods to maximize harm.

I’m usually pretty good at finding hidden options like that, and I ended up canceling Netflix because of the automatic previews as well. If there’s a way to disable it now, I might come back.

Does it really need to be pointed out that a name and address enable far more than a lawsuit?

They may be a bit on the ranty side but I, for one, greatly appreciate the ability to read an abstract in 15 seconds rather than however long it takes to ingest a video and separate the content from the fluff. This is also how HN works: 99%

If you have no idea what you’re doing, then you should not be transmitting. There’s plenty of good clean fun to be had on the receive side, though.

I’d like to think that would be a CFAA violation, but I’m probably overly optimistic.

I had trouble telling from the first sentence or so, but after reading to the end I’m pretty confident it’s a sarcastic take on a (hypothetical?) press release.

This seems like a case where the prosecutors are making things hard on themselves. Or, my tinfoil hat wants me to think, deliberately testing the waters with an interpretation they’d like to turn into precedent. If the contents of the disk

Yup, that’s exactly my thought too. I’ve seen this in USB virtual serial port debugging connections too. The software is writing debug messages, nobody reads them, and a day or two later everything just stops because the debug connection’s

If you need to run a computation that is going to take 100 years with today’s computers, you probably should wait a bit to start it with faster computers.

That’s why I’m blocking ALL destinations. I don’t think any valid packets out of my network need to have my AP itself as source addr.

Ok, I’m trying to set up a block for this within the unifi interface itself. Looks like the best option is a firewall rule dropping all “wan out” traffic originating from my access point. Am I missing a better option?
