Attach two probes to the opposite sides of the sponge. Wet the sponge to store 1. Get the water out to store 0. Did you know you can use coins as memory? Stack them together to remember numbers. Big silicon hates this one trick.

Even over 15 years ago, back when I was that age, I think my parents would have said the same thing about me and playing Counter-Strike. There were easily days in which I clocked in 8 hours playing that game, but back then the community was

There is definitely that. There is also some sort of strange bug with Chromium based browsers where you can get a tab to entirely fail making a certain connection. It will not even realize it is not connecting properly. That tab will be bro

I entirely agree, something special about multiplayer sandboxes that spark something that cannot be sparked otherwise. Next level would be to play Rust together. Organizing boxes at home while parents are out to gather resources when raider

The classic you did this to yourself. Walking across the street, hit by a car? You could have decided to take the bus that day. Some people say stuff like that and not see anything wrong with it somehow.

Yes, NtUserSetLayeredWindowAttributes is in win32u.dll. And if you are wondering what's the difference between win32u.dll and user32.dll. > win32u.dll is a link for System calls between User mode (Ring 3) and Kernel mode (Ring 0) :

That's exactly what he is referring to. In Windows, you'd either have something documenting that API (to add it in the context menu, not under Quick Actions), or if it is undocumented, you'd still have an idea where to look f

This rule of thumb is clearly too simplified, even as far as the definition goes. Sometimes you just want to execute 50 lines with little logic. Sometimes you just have some simple logic that needs to be repeated. Sometimes that logic is co

Earlier there were some screenshots showing an entirely zero-filled .sys file but now we know that's not what the payload was.

So like let's say a user of a computer in my fleet ran something infected with malware that had enough diligence to have a unique file signature. It puts itself to startup items in a creative way and then calls back home with just a st

Oh yeah, at a quick glance looks like that file could have had any payload and it would have been loaded right into the kernel.

That's a good catch. Edit: just realized the blog is called csg-govtech, so that makes sense in hindsight.

It is using a relatively old manufacturing process. It may be small but it is because modern chips are small, not because this is a feat of engineering where they've achieved incredible compute densities.

Rust does it well with [no_std] but then seems to be dropping the ball with [restricted_std]. I recently set up an embedded-hal project for cortex-m and after some struggle, I was happy to get dynamic memory allocation and std working but t

I don't use Audacity often, maybe once or twice a month at most but stability and snappiness aren't really things I associate with Audacity. None of the crashes I ever encountered with Audacity has been due to SQLite of course. If

I had the same thoughts. Hardware potentially looks great. I don't buy into using their software at all. Would be nice to develop for it.

I wonder if it is just CGI. Seems too high resolution and frame rate to be feasibly shot with microbolometer sensors. As far as I remember these sensors still use a small physical mechanism to clear their state so they have a very distinct

Easier to test if Jenkins can SSH in than to test a former employee cannot. Especially if you don't have the unencrypted private key.
