Hopefully AnyDesk and Remmina will address this issue before KDE ends it's mainline X11 support next year.
Real people have to sleep at some point!
Correction: Why would someone in their right mind ever buy a Nintendo product and use it accordance within the manufacturer's guidelines?
I purchased a first gen (rcm exploit) switch and I couldn't be happier with my investment.
I'm not concerned about being banned as it is never connected to the internet... for "reasons". :)
The constitution is quite clear on this issue and it has been affirmed repeatedly over the last 100+ years by the high courts. Anyone and everyone in the world who is on US soil and subject to US jurisdiction is considered a "US Person". This status is regardless of their nationality/nation of origin, the manner by which they arrived on US soil, or any other circumstance.
As a 'US Person' they are protected by the US Constitution with only minimal exceptions; the right to bear arms[1], ability to run for public office, or vote in federal elections[2]
This is by intent and design and is a necessary cornerstone of US democracy!
This is laid out in - Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 "Aliens in the United States"
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-8...
> The Court reasoned that aliens physically present in the United States, regardless of their legal status, are recognized as persons guaranteed due process of law by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Thus, the Court determined, even one whose presence in this country is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory is entitled to that constitutional protection

The correct flow for preserving anonymity is: the requesting party issues a challenge token to the user -- the token header describes the type of request (>=18yo?) and the token body is completely random(). The user then takes this token and has the challenge verified (signed) on their side, the signed token is then returned to the requester.
This way the state never knows the identity of the challenge issuer.
() Note that this scheme requires good faith on the part of the challenge issuer that the token body is actually random, although it would seem that a simple DH-key mechanism would patch this vulnerability.
As an example; I had a dedicated server that I was leasing that I wanted to upgrade, the sales tech noticed that the plan I was currently on had been retired/replaced and credited my account with difference of what I had payed vs the new payment tier which amounted to six months of billing on the upgraded server. You can't really put a price on that kind of honesty!
Ummmmm.......
Also the pedagogical style of these videos is fantastic, simple, to the point, with no unnecessary distractions. It's hard to find this level of quality in the current 'click and subscribe' universe!
Happy to see this pop on HN :)
Question: I see the that the code for the examples can be pulled from github, but I don't see anywhere to download the text of the book for offline reading??
It's a curated collection of experimental music scores; part art magazine, part avant garde musical journal, and thoroughly delightful :)
1. Implementing features that have been available in Linux/MacOS for years
2. Adding interoperability capabilities
I'm happy Microsoft is slowly catching up with the times, but it's still not a good look
I did not read any of the cited articles!
> There might be a lot of detail on the evidence in the cited articles which are just not mentioned here.
I'm sure there is, but the linked article gave me no impetuous to read them; nor any guidance as to the most efficient order of consumption.
> It's somewhat ironic that you throw around a speculation that everything is speculated without actually trying to look at the possible evidence yourself.
something, something, Cunningham's Law

It appears, that there are people who have formed hypotheses, but apparently no consensus...

> article: The mysterious tablets were apparently suitable for all four basic arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Many objects are suitable for numeric calculation (technically any object), just looking around my room I see a cupcake pan and a chess board -- the chess board being a little more useful for doing 8-bit binary arithmetic, but if I combine it with the cupcake pan I can add a dedicated shift register which makes mult/div a bit easier :)
--- Your continued quote from above:
> [...] especially considering they can directly link the word to the meaning "count".
Yes, because as we all know - words in any given language only have a single meaning! 8P
> Do you always just assume science is wrong?
Last time I checked; jumping to a conclusion using a minimum of evidence isn't scientific.
For all we know these 'devices' were ancient board games who's sole purpose was entertainment!?

While I'm fairly dubious about the proposed dual-purpose structural implementation of this material -- if this works at scale it would be a boon for low cost DIY local energy storage in the developing world and remote areas in other places.
The idea that someone with minimal education/training can construct a durable electrical storage solution using commonly available materials and techniques is an absolute game changer!!

I would hope/assume that EVs would primarily use regenerative braking and only use friction brakes for emergency stops, thereby dramatically reducing brake pad wear
Here is a recent (2022) paper[1] on the concept, but you can easily find scholarly work on this going back many decades...

I was debugging an issue with a gps chip on a custom PCB and decided to get a reference hardware implementation to do some sanity checking. After doing some searching I found the M5Stack U032 GPS module which claimed to use the same chip and amplifier that was on the PCB...
So I ordered it and it showed up and printed on the case is the model # of the GPS chip which matched the documentation. Doing due diligence I open the case and notice that the footprint of the GPS chip on the board doesn't match the datasheet for that IC and there is no identification marking stamped on the chip housing, but there is a spot of glue residue where it looks a sticker was removed...
After some sleuthing I finally identified the gps chip on the board, which was not the chip listed in the documentation or printed on the case of the module!
I can understand having documentation that gets out of sync, but the fact that it looks like an identification sticker was intentionally removed from the chip housing leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.
If you have a young child you may want to consider disabling this feature as it's very easy to accidentally trigger and law enforcement is required to respond if they don't receive and intelligible response!
As someone who had been using PureData for quite a while the idea of having that kind of development environment integrated into the DAW was super exciting, unfortunately the actual implementation leaves a lot to be desired; personally the final straw was when I realized that the Max process space was global to Ableton so that global variables would leak between devices (no sandboxing)... This may have been addressed in further releases as I was a very early adopter, but all of the other issues pointed out by the other posters still stand.
If you're looking for a platform agnostic alternative to Max4Live there is PlugData[0] which is a VST implementation of PureData -- the open-source origin of Max and created by the same authors.
And there is the Grid for Bitwig[1] which offers a modular graph based MIDI/DSP programming environment that runs at audio rate and is fully integrated into the DAW as a native solution! The Grid is somewhat limited as it isn't extensible, but it supports >95% of common use cases and is used internally to build Bitwig's native devices. Hopefully in the future Bitwig will extend it's open API surface to include building custom Grid modules -- in the meantime PlugData is perfectly acceptable patch for doing unusual logic calculations and doing left-field things like interfacing with robotics :)
