j4hdufd8··on Hacking a VW Golf Power Steering ECU
> More and more systems have ways to recover from a bad update, especially when the manufacturer offers OTA updates, but in the case like article where an the ECU is not designed to be updated by end-consumers, a bad flash/update can lead to the device being left useless.

and there is no way to obtain the original ROM? and flash it and everything is ok again?

What do you mean? Where is it needed?
j4hdufd8··on Android in Docker without QEMU/emulator
That Dockerfile is just an image to _build_ the Android container

See instructions to build it (or pull the published version)

https://github.com/remote-android/redroid-doc/tree/master/an...

Then you can run the Android container

Curious in what way?

adb or UIAutomator

Cool! Do you have any references?

You seem quite offended and defensive towards a very harmless question, from someone who dabbles in psychedelics as well :)

But you do you, boo

What makes you say there is no damage in either of these cases?

j4hdufd8··on A Survey of Programmers' Cannabis Usage, Perception, and Motivation
> They're not objective IMO and there is some sort of societal pressure against seeking truth

In my (speculative) opinion, it's not "societal pressure" but rather "capitalism pressure" narrating the recent weed uprise. As in, the opportunity to capitalize on weed has been pushing the narrative that it's a harmless cool drug.

The risks of heavy cannabis use are well documented and easily available to those who care to research it. For example, try CTRL+F "cannabis" on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia.

Once again, just like alcohol and tobacco, capitalism wins over public health.

j4hdufd8··on Microsoft forked MIT licensed repo and changed the copyright [fixed]
I'm really sorry you had to deal with this during the festive period.

I certainly understand how scandalous this looks to crowds like Hacker News.

But this seems a little bit blown out of proportion, as if Microsoft just forked the kernel or something and put their name on the license.

> I absolutely cannot believe this study

What do you not believe about the study? Did you read the study?

> In this paper, we presented results of the first empirical study of cannabis’s prevalence, perceptions, and usage motivations in programming environments

I don't think this study says "weed makes you better" or anything like that.

My point was that I often see "the algorithm" recommending me many-years old videos out of nowhere. Anyway!
