000000000001··on Hijacking the PS5's RTMP stream
The only time I've even looked at PPoE was for my A+, then to Jailbreak my ps4, never used it outside of that.
000000000001··on Whirlpool Washer Transmission Repair (2007)
Just wanted to chime in and inform you that Kenmore isn't a Kenmore, they never made anything just bought them and slapped a label on them. The first 3 digits denotes the manufacturer. I.E. 110 is Whirlpool, there are lists online to reference.
000000000001··on The US is winning the AI race where it matters most: commercialization
>They shored up their gpu design and manufacturing expertise.

I'm pretty sure they've been exposed for smuggling GPUs into the mainland because they can't ramp up fast enough, only reason we got Deepseek v4 before GTA VI

000000000001··on Gmail registration now requires scanning a QR code and sending a text message
Yeah, but junk mail funds the USPS, without it Republicans would've killed the postal service long ago, See the Pension requirement that they pushed in a vain attempt.
000000000001··on Cartoon Network Flash Games
Palemoon & Clean Flash are another option, I play Farmville from time to time, Ruffle may work as well.
000000000001··on AI slop is killing online communities
I think a better approach would be to upload an image to the sign up form with explicit instructions that isn't in text on the page to be easily read by AI. Like "Answer 2 in the Math captcha" even though the correct answer is 5, the AI will always enter the wrong number.
000000000001··on The surprisingly complex journey to text-selectable client-side generated PDFs
I vibecoded a pdf replacement at work, sort of.

I wanted a way to make submitting Inventory Changes at work easier, so I took the pdf, used StirlingPDF to convert to an html bundled zip, I converted the .png with the form border and symbols to base64, and then wrote a powershell script to replace <p> tags with variable data from a csv export of our inv data(I tried to use odbc to extract it but once a dev showed me the logical, physical, and views that made up our Inventory lookup I went back to using a xlsx export that is built into our environment and letting the ps1 trim and sanitatize the input). As the conversion places text with absolute positioning, I was able to fine tune the layout and spacing. I then used my local AI qwen3.6-27b to convert my ps1 to a single html binary webapp with html/css/js, no external framework, two js scripts are loaded via cdn for now.

Inspired by how well that worked I vibecoded a drag and drop editor to build forms for other processes, I upload a png w which gets converted to base64 and then I can drag and drop text elements to where they need to be and export.

I know how many people feel about AI coded projects so these are really only for me, I didn't expect my coworkers to adopt it or anything but they did.

000000000001··on Vibe coding and agentic engineering are getting closer than I'd like
>How many of us remember that VSCode is actually a browser wrapped inside a native frame?

The new standard, Web Apps. Why update 3 seperate binaries for Win/Lin/Mac when you can do 1 for a web framework and call it a day?

000000000001··on Reverse-engineering the 1998 Ultima Online demo server
Yes! Can confirm am in a Discord server for Farmville, called Farmville Replowed. A community member has also forked it and added updates, though he changed the database schema so it has been pr'd, and released a Electron client with Flash bundled, Windows, Linux, and Mac are supported.
