Yes, that's fishy. And if the scammer has some balls, he will talk the victim into sending the cops after you. Have fun.

I read it as unable to empathize with somebody helping the scammer, which is dangerously close to his MIL.

Do you actually know something or is it just speculation? It looks like they are attempting to prohibit driving people for money, not connecting the car to unauthorized software. "Revenue purposes" is the exact words they used.

Like, swap right button with left? There is an option for that in "accessibility settings" of most OSs. Left-handed people use it sometimes. BTW, two possible sources of mouse issues I know: 1. Sharp angle between palm and forearm

Nitpick: it's an internal kernel function being called by another kernel function, not a user-kernel interface. What you seem to want is a general-purpose string implementation for shuffling data around. With a safe append() preferably

It shouldn't really be a job of random private companies to police the Internet. It used to be the case that postal and telecommunication services were neutral and not responsible for their users. If you have an issue with what somebod

Crap, that was bad. Fixed. And removed the insane unrolling, now 2x is sufficient. You are right, 128 is not enough on Piledriver. Still, ./test $(( 512*1024+1024*0 )) aligned: 0 sec, 134539 nsec unaligned on aligned data: 0 se

IIRC Windows has pretty strong rate limiting on login attempts. You don't really need a USB stick to execute them as fast as possible.

See what happens when you change HALF_OF_BUFFER_SIZE from 1M to 1M+64. Or 128 or 1024. I think what you observed is the result of loads and stores hitting the same cache set at the same time, all while misalignment additionally increases th

MSFT here. Thank you your report. I have escalated your issue to the Windows Update team. Microsoft is committed to your security and the loophole will promptly be closed by another forced update. Resistance is futile.

Get a trackball. They still accumulate crud under the ball which sometimes hinders movements or obscures the sensor.

That's actually quite ironic. Selling some insecure hardware not only exposed their clients, but also lured hackers to their own systems.

Pulling brakes hard is a sure way to fly over the bar at least on some bikes. Never actually happened to me but I've seen one guy land on concrete sidewalk this way.
