No COM integration, no VBA and no Active Directory support. Business and engineering software uses Windows APIs to integrate with MS Office and Active Directory. The APIs are not portable and hard to replicate on emulation layers. The softw

Unless we get a stable ecosystem for closed source apps and drivers it is not going to happen. Android is the very example of that. A closed source software friendly OS with the backing of a tech giant. It also has to provide an almost comp

I think most of the Open Source projects are inadequate from security PoV but they are not at a place that can do harm. Android is extremely complex so I think many of the custom ROMs possibly have some security rookie mistakes and quite a

Weirdly Commerzbank Banking App rejects logins approved by a rooted phone so I cannot login with my LOS phone. Comdirect is literally the same company but a purely online product. It is so stupid. I also use INGDirekt and it works. In this

I think detecting root and displaying a warning about risk is okay. N26 does it, so does Scalable Capital. However Sparkassen, Deutsche Bank etc all refuse to work on Lineage OS at all *without any actual root solution installed*. I actuall

Whatsapp and Signal are fine. Random banking apps suck because their myopic and incompetent policies around custom OSes. Especially here in Germany where banks and even tech company management see internet as a magic, totally untrustworthy

Auto unlock only happens with a TPM. You couple TPM with encrypted RAM, Secure Boot and tamper-detecting erase. So if they remove the bottom cover, TPM is cleared and you need to enter the recovery key. Encrypted RAM prevents extracting sec

Printing out your 2FA recovery keys and storing them in a safe also is.

They can charge the company continuously growing amounts in the EU and even ban a complete IP block if they don't fix their behavior.

That's why laws are written in broad strokes and redirect exact specification to regulations written by regulatory committees, at least in Continental Europe (i.e. Civil Law system). You don't need to make new laws just update reg

GDPR isn't the cookie law. It is a law regulating storage of personal data overall. The banners are a result of greed and incompetence. The companies made stupid amount of money by closely profiling every single individual using cookie

I bought the same model SSD for my Thinkpad P1 last month and saw the exact issue. I had to return it because it was breaking the NVMe detection completely. So it wasn't a broken unit but a design issue after all?

The DMCA takedown form can also request identity confirmation.

Umm you can. You can force companies to pass their code through an examination (even by a third party) and define a procedure of ensuring strict data hygiene. If they cannot pass each year, they will be subject to fines.

Then how would you exchange it with real money? There are few things that accept cryptographic coins as currency.

Do you hate Modellica and try to get them sued by Lars again?

I remember using OpenModellica to test an Functional Mockup Unit where I extracted Neural Net as ONNX and the ONNX runtime DLL and then connected it to Simcenter Amesim as my student work at Siemens. Pretty okay standard compared to how old

WhatsApp was there before Apple. There was even Symbian versions of it. The reason it got so popular in other counties is the extortionate pricing of SMSes. WhatsApp used (and still uses) very little data and with the lowest level data tari

It works only for trivial projects that are compiled in a roughly up-to-date and popular environment. Custom distros, vendored forks, closed-source software, firmware projects etc. all end up with hairy Cargo files. A systems language shoul

This is also the reason I prefer XML to JSON when things really got complex. XML is verbose but it is very readable on long form. I wish Rust actually used JSON or XML as Cargo file format.

Reliance over a Posix shell basically prevents me from using Just. Using bash from Git on Windows is a very weird choice.

When I was learning programming in 2008 as a student and was still using my computer in Turkish, the number of Java and PHP programs that did not specify a proper locale was outrageously large. For whatever messed up reasons they had lowerc

Both DMY and HMS are sensical notations of time. For most people the day is the most important part of the cycle in a year. We measure most of our actions and chores in days then months then years. In a meeting, in official letters, taxes e

Well my friend, you probably didn't use Windows before. FoRmaT /Q /f:NTFS c: is as valid as it gets.

by okanat 2y ago
It is more about hardware / software bundling than the openness of the source code. Windows is as proprietary as it gets. I was able to upgrade my desktop PC from 2008 to Windows 10. It required removing quite a bit bloatware but it wo

pip doesn't do an actual smart solution but it just bruteforces it. The way of pip installing packages is to download the package, execute its setup script that imperatively installs dependencies. There is no proper metadata in PyPI ec

Without fully solving it, it is impossible to install packages. This is my anecdote but I find Mamba better at solving tricky dependency requirements like certain version of Python and a certain version of Pytorch with Cuda support and a ce
