Facebook seems to put a lot of effort into making ads hard to block too.
kaszanka··on Dumping and extracting the SpaceX Starlink user terminal firmware
If you thought Mirai was bad, just wait for the first "IoT" car worm that gets people killed. I hope it never happens, but if it does...
kaszanka··on Windows 11, Amazon, and Uncomfortable Questions
You will be able to install the software you want on the computer you own without going through some corporation's central "store"? The fact that this is surprising or noteworthy is just sad.
kaszanka··on Installing Windows 11 on Legacy BIOS Without Secure Boot
All this talk of TPMs has me wondering: most of the premise of a TPM is that it's basically a hardware cryptographic device that lets you generate keys and do various operations with them, but never extract the key itself, right? Then, if you do actually want a TPM-like device that behaves mostly like a normal one but lets you get at the keys through some backdoor, what's stopping you from making and using one? Some manufacturer (model? batch?)-specific private key programmed at the factory that lets it authenticate itself as a genuine TPM?
kaszanka··on I was let go for refusing to deploy a dark pattern
Something like

  ||*.logrocket.network^
  ||*.logrocket.io^
  ||*.lr-ingest.io^
  ||*.logicanalytics.io^
in uBlock/ABP filtering rules would be a good start. Not sure what logicanalytics is exactly, but it's used on logrocket's main page. Using NoScript like the other commenter said is safer though (this won't catch on-premises deployments of logrocket and it will stop blocking it when they change the domain).
kaszanka··on Tips for Interviewing over Zoom
At least they're honest.

If the pages are only accessible via a VPN, what does HTTPS really get you?
kaszanka··on The Plan for the Rust 2021 Edition
> the "strum" crate, which has a macro to produce another (plain) enum, but having the discriminant type be named "std::mem::Discriminant<T>"

I don't understand, is this a copy/paste mistake?

What legal issues could it cause?
kaszanka··on EFF sues Proctorio on behalf of student falsely DMCA'd
Does anyone have copies/mirrors of the deleted Pastebin entries?
kaszanka··on Revision demoparty banned on Twitch mid-stream
Very, very surprising considering the trash that's allowed to stay up on Twitch.
kaszanka··on Testing a few new designs that don't show the public dislike count
The cold reality is that most users won't care.
kaszanka··on Systemd 248
Come on, what was wrong with the previous title? It was more informative, and "Systemd 248" is technically not the original title either.
kaszanka··on GeForce RTX 3060 Ethereum Mining Restrictions Have Been Broken
Is it some Looking Glass [1] kind of thing, or did they add physical ports to some unused traces or something?

kaszanka··on The new Google Pay repeats all the same mistakes of Google Allo
Flutter applications start insanely slowly. I only tried it once and a tiny, one-screen app with barely any interactivity took like 2.5 seconds to load on a Snapdragon 845 phone.
kaszanka··on Raspberry Pi for Kill Mosquitoes by Laser

kaszanka··on Apple is removing Rosetta from Macs during updates in certain countries
I meant that that's the only reason for the strings to say "Rosetta is no longer available in this region".
kaszanka··on Apple is removing Rosetta from Macs during updates in certain countries
Yes, but the only reason for this removal to be regionalised like the strings suggest is stupid crap like software patents.
kaszanka··on Tweak: An Efficient Hex Editor
I think Okteta has all of the features you mentioned except change highlighting.
kaszanka··on Tauri: An Electron alternative written in Rust
Some companies/people take branding too seriously.
kaszanka··on Windows Refund Day (1999)
That seems to be a common theme with websites. Not to mention how quickly it loads...
kaszanka··on Comp.lang.c Google Group has been banned
"Back to safety". Gotta love corporate BS

This is as transparent to outside observers as it gets compared to ML.
kaszanka··on Email from Jeff Bezos to employees
Amazon did not invent customer reviews.
kaszanka··on Creating my awesome Windows 10 dev setup

  function profile_alias { editor $PROFILE }
  Set-Alias -Name profile -Value profile_alias
Why this instead of `function profile { editor $PROFILE }`?
kaszanka··on PyCharm's Transition to Apple Silicon
That copy of VS Code seems to be starting very slowly, even taking the emulation into account. Lots of extensions, maybe?

For reference, it starts in around 3 seconds on my 2013ish laptop. (actually, more like 2014 - Haswell i7)

kaszanka··on Robinhood is limiting purchases of stocks: AMC, Blackberry, Nokia, and GameStop
And that time, the rules were also changed to protect the big guys. How convenient. The stock market is a farce.
kaszanka··on GitHub has received a DMCA from MPA about torrent tracker nyaa.si
It's not as if it will actually have any consequences.
kaszanka··on DuckDuckGo Reaches 100M Daily Search Queries
I use !sp (Startpage). It's basically a Google proxy, if I understand correctly.
kaszanka··on GNOME has no thumbnails in the file picker and my toilets are blocked
Yes. As you can see, this is by design.
