Thank you and the others who were kind enough to explain this. I've avoided such fonts like the plague. Didn't know it did arrows like that.

If you connect your computer to the Internet, it can get hacked. If you leave it logged in unattended or don't use authentication, someone else can use it without your permission. This isn't rocket science and it has nothing to do

The C++ looks messed up. I have yet to come across a keyboard that can type an arrow.

Computers should abide by their owners. Any computer not doing that is broken.

You could bridge the ipp server of cups over webrtc to a native listener that talks to the usb port. Webrtc to localhost might raise some red flags, but could be a neat alternative to the chrome requirement. Use at the very least some hmac

IDK. In my case, instructions are much more readable in osmand while driving. Better readability is kinda the whole reason why such a setting exists. I certainly hope I'm not the only one trying to break my own work by adjusting a11y s

This looks seriously impressive. Also, I wonder what the a11y implications are. I don't miss Macromedia Flash hell at all. This is HTML5, so with a bit of effort it could look beautiful and still cater to the visually impaired. Edit: I

If Android, try going into accessibility settings and set display size to maximum. Then see if you still like HN and many other websites with shitty unresponsive CSS.

Yes, of course. It's a bloody shame some of those tools are inaccessible to the poor, the not poor but f* your stupid payment system that doesn't connect to my bank, the software freedom enthousiasts, possibly others. For myself,

No smartphone. A cheap wifi-only Android tablet without a lock screen and their stupid app on the home screen.

"Buttons" that are just labels, that's on the top of my F* U list.

Perhaps the argument isn't about the ethics of security research, but rather the divide between those who can afford non-free software licenses and those who ethically or circumstancially can't.

2 Programmers sat at a table. One was a youngster and the other an older guy with a large beard. The old guy was asked: "You. Yeah you. Why the heck did you need 64K of RAM?". The old man replied, "To land on the moon!".

So... That means all of those products are for entertainment purposes only. Truth in advertising!

More like, if you pay a fee to use a service, you can find the bombs already hidden somewhere in your premises.

I had to look up the song mentioned in the wikipedia article. Here it is: https://mdfs.net/Docs/Humour/Computing/Songs/B/BlowOut (Sung to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down")

Not just dhcpd. Besides the entire existance of Wine and Samba, Qemu has a workaround for win2k. Mkudffs has a workaround for MS-Windows not being able to read the filesystem without an mbr. Libc can work with local system time for those wh

Does she know she's an ad?

by tosti 7mo ago
Exactly. Depending on what nutrians I've been consuming, the Indians/intelligence in my head could also be artificial. Perhaps that's why I fail those captcha tests most of the time.

For my own networks I use the private range internally (fd00::/8). That way the addresses remain the same when we move or change the pipe to a bigger one. Also, they can be routed, just not on the Internet. It's easy to join remot

But I was scammed by newpipe! It said I can watch YouTube, but there aren't any ads! Now I don't know what to buy. It even had CCC Media, so now my videos are informative and insightful. Where's my influencers?!

By that logic, everything is executable. Not entirely wrong, but mostly because of vulnerabilities. Not because of a highly contrived way of using a file format to run a program. You could do the same thing with json or xml.

This article was painful to read because of all the misconceptions. A cpio archive is not a filesystem. Author uses initramfs, which is based on tmpfs. Linux can extract cpio to tmpfs. An archive of files and directories is in itself not a

These are really just chatboxes? Edit: it's a bit different now. Instead of loading one from the homepage, it always loads a stream. And it has a play button on every one of them. Nothing happens when I press it. Anyone else has this?
