It is indeed a really cool key extraction method. The code is also written in such a straightforward way that it is easy to grasp what's going on. Now I have to find some encrypted files to play with :D

You know it is very much region dependent. You are correct many facilities are owned by the hyperscalers, and they also extensively use colos for hosting entire regions (not only PoPs), specially outside the US. More recently I’d also inclu

It would be easier if they simply port their VBA runtime to WASM and call it a day.

Oh, TransFlash, the code-name for SD that every Shanzhai manufacturer used. Why? I suspect they label SD as TF to avoid paying for licensing the trademark. The same thing happens with HDMI - usually they simply label those ports as HD.

I’m also from the Internet :) I miss that cozy weird familiar and insane place. OTOH, 20 years ago my only concern was school and I had the energy to pull all-nighters. Now I have to pay my bills.

At least for my use case, which is Layout processing (i.e. must output tables in some kind of table format), the OCR part (Azure Document AI or AWS Textract) dominates the cost factor. Running OCR on a document is twice more expensive than

For a similar use case I’m using Azure Document AI - at least you can ask for markdown/html output directly from it instead of parsing the output structure from Textract. And it’s cheaper too.

Ex-Amazonian here, but outside the US. How come refusing to quit would lead to firing “for cause”? Wouldn’t that be some constructive dismissal, or am I misunderstanding the US labor law? When I was laid off through the PIP’s way just befor

Those are the Vertuo line, I believe they focus to sell it in the US market, since it is able to do way longer extractions. It goes up to 500 mL extractions or so. I don't like it, I think Original Nespresso tastes way better. Of cours

Ohh! I’ve been at the other side of this discussion. It usually goes like: “What are the outgoing ports?” “1024-65535, I mean, the app is using X language’s standard library to make an HTTPS request.” “What are the IPs we have to whitelist?

I think “foobar.com, a Facebook with blackjack and hookers” would be OK, while “other-facebook.com” wouldn’t. I’d say one is marketing, the other is misrepresentation.

Microsoft’s EULA would still apply to (b). It’s the exact same situation as downloading a Windows ISO from Microsoft’s website and running it with an activator.

IIRC from that time, those CD-ROMs contained two tracks, one formatted with ISO 9660 and another with HFS+. Windows didn't come with HFS+ drivers so it ignored it, and probably MacOS prioritized mounting the HFS+ track.

My ISP assign changes the IPv4 /32 and IPv6 prefix every PPPoE authentication. This is so annoying and breaks routing every couple days or so that I ended up running NPT (NAT for IPv6) and using a ULA block for my LAN. I've seen r
