How hard would it be to write a server emulator that facilitates LAN matches with all cards unlocked? I have no interest in interacting with a glorified skinnerbox.

Is there a meaningful difference between waking up the CPU from sleep to maintain a single tcp connection vs waking it up to maintain 50? Provided of course all 50 require a keepalive packet at the same time, I don't think so. But feel

W-why is window LOCATION exposed to websites? Apparently even in FF private browsing... At first I thought this is an electron only thing. I get it that we gave up on fingerprinting resistance but this is like pissing on it's grave. ED

I just can't get excited over most trending submissions here on HN for the exact same reason over the last 2 years. This current advancement of AI doesn't feel like such a "new frontier" as other advancements in tech at

Using KDE5 X11 as I'm typing this, wayland is actually starting to look like an upgrade rather than a downgrade now that they have things like HDR. Hopefully we'll also get things like querying global mouse position and reading gl

They don't need to deprecate it. I remember reading a blogpost here that was about bypassing these kinds of checks. They recompiled SpiderMonkey with the debugger() method renamed to something else.

Arguing in good faith against the lawmakers who are perfectly aware of the the gaping holes in their own arguments is too common in this field IMO. If we want to protect the right to encryption and (pseudo)anonimity to the degree we have it

There is clearly a demand for personality too. I was reading some chatGPT programming workflow Twitter thread the other day and the guy was unusually polite with the thing. Like, does saying "please" or "thank you" actua

I was thinking about the scammer’s side. If a password creation dialog asks for the daily Wordle answer and it doesn’t trigger a red flag, the predator isn’t smarter than the prey at all apparently.

If "e2echat.com" has no method to explicitly forbid your browser from accepting eIDAS certs (via a DNS record or something) then your browser will just blindly accept the compromised cert when attacked. This is still very bad.

You don’t. Open hardware is a positive for the company and almost entirely neutral for the consumer. I guess you could say It’s a positive for us too, since you are not subsidizing the ARM royalties with every tech purchase you make. But I

I’m more concerned about tech companies being more of a “superuser” on the machine I have paid for and own, than me. Stallman saw this coming decades ago. And I firmly believe he will be proven right in due time. https://www.gnu.

No because private trackers enforce that all torrents uploaded have DHT,PEX and LPD disabled. Usually done by a single tickbox that says “Make torrent private” in the client. Of course, respecting these options in the torrent file is still
