Are safety and environmental factors being consideration here? Putting thin films of some mercury compound into consumer electronics doesn't sound great, and is probably already banned by regulations like RoHS.

If you're interested in a programming that reads like a natural language check out Lingua Romana Perligata (Perl in Latin). Interestingly, it uses the Latin case system to map the various uses of an identifier (as a scalar, array or ha

If I can guess, I would say `appRoute` is a macro that defines a struct called `home` with that handler being assigned to some field as a function pointer.

That's basically a doodle from a single manuscript that somehow made it into Unicode. It's cool but not a real letter.

The voiceless alveolar lateral fricative[1] is another fun one. The only european languages that have it are Welsh and Icelandic where it's simply written "ll" and "hl". In some medieval texts it had a dedicated let

Well, most game companies will only tell you the game only works on something very specific, say Ubuntu 24.04, and everything else is untested/unsupported. That doesn't exclude the game will work perfectly fine on other distros, w

First they say it is a DoS operation against the cellular network, then that it was used to send encrypted messages (why would you use a cellphone to do that?) to criminal groups, which is it? Or, you know, it could have simply been a bot f

Yes, exactly. This proposal is just free riding on the sadly enstablished conception that you don't really own your device: it doesn't work in your interest but in those of the manufacturer, the developer of the programs you use a

I'm not saying it's better because it doesn't break encryption, that doesn't matter, I'm saying we shouldn't be fight it by framing it as an attack on encryption. What I think chat control is, is yet another at

The opposition to chat control is really missing the point: chat control does not break encryption, the law is about mandating client-side scanning, not weakening cryptography so law enforcement can break it more easily or introducing backd

Correct, someone with physical access could run a MitM attack and steal your passphrase. I just find this extremely unlikely, so I honestly don't care.

Also possible without a TPM: you just put openssh into the initrd, so you can log in and type the password to unlock the root. (It's technically not full-disk encryption because the kernel and initrd are in plaintext, but everything el

It seems to depend on reading pixels from a canvas. This is commonly used for fingerprinting users on the web, so you have to disable some privacy plugins.

I'd wager these ants have been doing it for longer than humans have, unless they somehow only started this in the 90s.

Ok, but you certainly need root privileges to do that, in that case you could bypass the monitoring software in many other ways.

It's a completely different driver for a different architecture. The biggest reason it works so much better is that it's open source (with some blobs, of course) and part of the mainline kernel, unlike its predecessor which was de

Well, if you consider that the setting of the problem is non-interacting, two-dimensional electrons in an infinite lattice, there's not much real about it. These patterns will likely disappear in a more realistic situation.

A /64 is the smallest network on which you can run SLAAC, so almost all VLANs should use this. /56 and /48 for end users is what RIRs are recommending, in reality the prefixes are longer, because ISPs and hosting providers wa

No, it's really the same thing with just different (and more structured) prefix lengths. In IPv4 you usually block a single /32 address first, then a /24 block, etc. In IPv6 you start with a single /128 address, a single
