Before buying an expensive software for data recovery, don't forget about Photorec[0] and its dangerously powerful brother TestDisk[1].

It will be able to help you more often than not, and it's FOSS.

I know this isn't the effect they were hoping for, but I find this pic really good :

>Unfortunately, for whatever reason they are running it through an USB-to-serial chip instead of using native USB. The reason is cost : you need to pay a fee[0] if you want to officially implement USB in your product.

That's more or less what was done in Overwatch from Blizzard. Each map is based on a real location/city and uses its local architecture, typical layout... (However it's not 1:1 with reality. For example the map Rialto is obviously based on Venice, but you won't recognise any particular street or place).

Why would they do that ? The light tax they require from those entity still benefits them immensily, because those entity choose to pay them there instead of elsewhere. If Ireland introduced more taxes those big corps would move away, so they would actually receive less...

I think that was a wink to the classic story of Archimedes and the gold crown :)

So it means with a dataset big enough, your bloom filter is virtualy all 1s, and will return true for every values you want to check regardless if it is actually in there ? Is there a threshold you can monitor to avoid this situation ?

There was MTP Target, a clone with penguin which had a pretty active community circa 2008[1][2]

I loved this game. It had an IRC server included so you could chat while in game, a forumboard, and a pretty diverse community. The gameplay was simple to learn but difficult to master, with a lot of fun for everyones.

Sadly, it was open-source but not so much. The sole developer never opened up the source of the server, and even the client's were not keep up to date, so it was impossible to play elsewhere than the official server.

The sole developer had a little revenue stream by selling premium account (which enabled the possibility to use custom skins and access to a private server) and never accepted to let the community fix bugs or host other servers. There was quiet a bit of friction and drama between him and some members of the community, and in the end he prefered letting the game die than giving it to the community.

That's a big part of the story of the TV show "Person Of Interest", where an IA is basically reset everyday to avoid letting it "be".

I highly recommend that show if you haven't seen it already !

Then you won't have apt in the first place ;)

And Mir, and Ubuntu Edge and....

Good news : World of warship works (almost) flawlessly on proton (Valve own Wine version): https://www.protondb.com/app/552990

Nothing garantees that an update won't break the compatibility though.

I guess you're talking about storage size and not RAM, so you should check out openwrt. There are still a lot of micro router which are still 4MB rom / 64 MB ram. I compiled and run the 19.06 release (with a 4.19 kernel) on one of this target, a WR702N, last week actually :)

the kernel itself is about 1MB.

Does anyone know in which product they put this chip ? It would be fun to get it out and repurpose it on a custom board !

The vast majority of game console are also webkit ! (With its fair share of exploits to be honest)

>You can not just stick some new engines to a plane and elongate the body. This needs more investments and certification. Less costly than a new plane but still costs.

Isn't what Boeing basically did with their 737-Max ? With no new certification ?

Emphasis mine Over the years he filed more than 100 lawsuits for the unauthorized use of an Indianapolis skyline photo he claims to own the rights to. [...] The attorneys use the pressure of federal lawsuits and potential statutory damages of $150,000 to extract high settlement fees from defendants, without fighting a case on its merits. [...] When Bell contacted Carmen Commercial he was offered a $1,000 settlement. However, the attorney wanted more and requested $5,000. He threatened a lawsuit if the real estate company failed to pay up.

He is aggressively greedy, not just protecting his copyright.

Yeah actually, I oversaw that. With the original dev from Obsidian and the license from Bethesda, it is not that far fetched.

We had it, it's called The Outer World ;)

(I know, I know...)

Couldn't an open flame in the warehouse be enough to burn the ethanol evaporating and handle the problem ?

It sadly doesn't work like that. Idiots are idiots. "You sold me this truck, and it doesn't work anymore.

- Well, we stated that you shouldn't do what you did...

- It doeesnnn't work !!!"

Ensue time, energy and money lost to defend yourself against idiots who don't listen.

Edit : I don't know anything about trucks or John Deere. But you can see this type of "artificial" limitation with simple unlock pretty often. For example the cpu overclocking community : the manufacturer doesn't officialy support overclocking, but they give hints and some advice if you want to do it anyway. You fry your cpu, you're on your own.

I'm not an astrophysist nor biochemist, so i'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but how likely is it that we "contaminated" Venus with earth's microbiology embedded in our previous probes ?

No this is a discussion between the 2 decades for patents, which seems fair, versus the 7 decades for copyrighted material, which doesn't :)

A reminder that Fdroid allows you to run your own repo and host there whatever you choose, controversial or not.

Fdroid banned this particuliar app (and maybe others, that's not the point) from their own official repo.

It won't prevent them to show ads. It will prevent them to show targeted ads. So your point is either invalid or rather "they won't be able to be datamining their potentials users to pay the bills" ?

One of my favorite example of this kind of oversight is the audi "e-tron" : in french, an "étron" is literally a turd... (it seems that this website doesn't catch it yet though)

I don't know if it is common, but that's exactly what my engineering school did : no graphical calculator allowed through all the cursus. They would provide a "basic+ calculator" (a basic calculator with square, square root, and some "advanced" math but not a lot) to each test and you'll have to deal with that.

I hated it while in school, but retrospectively i think it was a pretty good idea actually :)

You might want to update your fdroid database or turn on "show beta versions" in the settings, as I see and have the v0.19.5 installed from fdroid.

I used Sandboxie 10 years ago, when I was still using Windows. It is a really neat piece of software. I'm glad it went open-source instead of simply dying because of lack time and/or interest.

I had a surprising hard time to find an equivalent for linux. Today firejail fill that void pretty well.

Your projects look amazing, contragulation ! You could fade the led to depict the train distance to the station ? Like that, you would have a nice transition between stations, and if there are multiples train incoming/going from it you sums the intensities ?

I think it would add another level of smoothness to it.
