Or didn't do due diligence on "PR impact of the next extortion target".

I believe Flutter was chosen because of somewhat easy way of keeping common codebase for both iOS and Android clients. Not trivial, and at least it renders natively :V

Well, you can amend a contract, but you need to send the new conditions, and it gives the other party option of not accepting the new contract, which means either amending party needs to accept continuation under old contract, or dissolutio

Don't need a decade, I rarely if ever see Teams not malfunctioning daily...

Isn't changing the terms of a deal without even sending you a new contract pretty much illegal anywhere sane? Even between business entities?

in earlier years, but in a way to this day, a significant factor against GIMP was not the UI - people could get used to the UI and did even when grumbling about it. A big problem for a chunk of possible users was that GIMP's colour sup

GC was required part, because it was needed to allow interaction between DOM-side lifetimes and WASM-side lifetimes. You might still need a puny shim to essentially "declare" whatever form you want the DOM API to look like on WASM

We have already experience with how false positives are skewed in practice, even case goes all the way to court. Because ostensibly good people do not want to see the CSAM material, they believe what algorithm/first reporter stated, an

I think the issue lies with how do you define "privacy of communications is respected". Because that would technically make any present day wiretap illegal too. So the detail is written in normal law tract...

Oh, I fully admit that it could be tuned better. At least the 2023 G14 works reasonably well under linux this way, though I'm thinking of going through the ACPI and fixing some of that...

by p_l 1y ago
Privacy of communications is usually a normal law not constitutional principle, so slots perfectly fine without any supremacy issues between constitution and EU law.

The firmware is amalgamated from a bunch of vendors with core solution coming from few common ones. Sometimes you get hilarious errors, like Intel not having any way to verify if their driver is actually loading a dumped memory image (intel

IIRC you can resign everything with your own key, but anticheat might still explode about it.

Dunno about 2024, but 2023 G14 explicitly documents it can't work at full power when powered by USB-C, because it's USB-C PD supports only 100W compared to the >200W draw of the system. So it throttles just like macbooks with i

Macbook essentially involved Apple hardcoding 11th hour fixes selected by product code in their OS level drivers after utterly fucking up ACPI tables in ways that would make the discussed bug blush. Pretty much most of what BootCamp did on

The incentive was US Navy feeling embarassed at how "country that invented the airplane" had shitty showing in aviation in 1914, and ultimately deciding to invest heavily in area now called Silicon Valley. This provided demand for

The counterfactual is that the investment required was beyond what even IBM could consider to spend at the time, to the point that even with "guaranteed buyer" in form of military procurement there was strong opposition towards go

Technically it was never legal without overtime pay, but enforcement varies a lot. On paper, PRC employment law is pretty strong on employee side compared to USA.

It's more that io_uring has not enough integration with LSMs and the like, so for example on Android it's disabled because Android heavily uses SElinux which would be bypassed by io_uring

In my experience, an update big enough to require major rewrite, probably should require a portion of this process to figure just what is the upgrade path.

Backlight is a trivial example. In the past it meant you were unable to even boot the install media, these days it often means something might boot but ends up stuck because it can't initialize for example input devices so you can&#x27

Entire mainframe IPL, or just LPAR? My understanding is that usually you subdivide into few LPARs and then reboot the production ones on schedule to prevent drift and ensure that yes, unplanned IPLs will work

And part of the lost control was emulating IBM PC enough that software that ignored sanity and did weird things to hardware or assumed certain behaviours worked even on clones and most importantly, upgrades
