This actually works!

I have a major problem with that article, it completely ignores Polish mathematicians' contributions who literally GAVE the brits the codes 5 weeks BEFORE the start of WWII.

the one with -1 obviously ;)

Reminds me of a "stable window" app gadget from mid-2000's that used the built-in accelerometer to make a window stable irrespectively of laptop's tilt.

ditto! It was really a nice touch (pun intended since touch is what I'd use to produce such timestamps)

Doh, my mirror server had some issues. Try again, I removed it from DNS rotation.

I randomly stumbled upon Intel's PCI Vendor ID being 0x8086 which attracted my attention, so much so that I scanned the entire database looking for other fun and eye-catching ID's, and found quite a few.

HTC magic was just about that size ! (and it ran whooping Android up to 1.6 I believe). It was a 2nd publicly available android phone, right after the HTC with Dream.

What really baffles me is that as a society we allow say a 7 year old to take on debt!

Sure, but the damage is done already, and it's AGPL too.

doh, should have read the full post ;)

I remember that my Pebble 2 (HR) over time (pun intended) would develop play around the rubber button area especially on the right side. Eventually the rubber covering the buttons would break off. This was common to the point people were making 3d-printed replacement parts. See https://help.rebble.io/pebble-2-buttons/ What's the expected longevity of the buttons this time around, and will you have replacement parts available ?

The last bastion of the old Internet, end of an era!

Like SourceForge.net ?

finally an article that gives more context on the five minute window between avocados being not ripe and then shortly after they're rotten ;)

Well, Auckland probably has a lot less NIMBY's so there's a good chance it might work out...

brings a tear to my eyes. I ran a local ISP with over 150 subscribers. You can imagine the havoc after folks discovered they all could use WinPopup (since obviously everyone's domain was "WORKGROUP"...

Run a VM (even if it's slow) or rent a cheap VPS (lowendbox.com is my go to), you can get a cheap Linux server for maybe $5 a month.

And you know what ? I highly advise YOU DO DAMAGE the system! many times over, and over. This is the best way to learn. Do experiments on that Linux, one at a time. You ARE going to break things, and that's okay. Learn how to fix them - you'll be a master in no time. Yes, this means running "rm -rf /", see how the system reacts to that (keep a shell session open, but also try opening another session, such as via SSH). Try to fill up a drive, fill up memory, see what happens etc etc.

It's so good, even the old trick for copying items works !

Oh joy of large corporations where a coworker would walk up 3 seconds after sending an email asking "have you seen my email?"

It must be because VLC allows people to watch pirated content. Which would be the most ridiculous reason to get banned for.

The 99% rate is NOT because the system (prosecutors, judges) is "good", the rate is so high because system is structured to bully anyone arrested to admit to the crimes. You're basically coerced into confession, whether or not you did it.

I'm not sure hunting deer in Nara is allowed (it IS known a "deer city" and deer freely roam the streets. Maybe permitted outside of the city), but of all places where someone could have a shotgun - Nara is definitely one of them.

This so obvious. Aliens figured it out and are spoofing Voyager transmissions.

Coincidence with Netflix resignations and/or layoffs ?

Spent $40k on a great life and business LESSON!. That's not bad at all.

They should also roll their own crypto...

haha, since I joined FAANG, my recruiter messages like tripled !

My boss in the early 2000's told me a story where in the 70's, they would bring in computers from West Germany to Poland, and there were restrictions on how "powerful" they could be due to a ton of restrictions. So they would get a lot of spare parts with each computer, bought separately, to make them usable as intended.

What is puzzling to me, is that despite beating delivery expectations (meaning they did make and deliver more cars than planned), the delivery of my model X I'm in the line for did get pushed back from January to February. Something doesn't make sense...
