revanx_··on Raspberry Pi 400 Desktop PC
I guess this is why I was down-voted at first, but it really isn't a laptop if it doesn't have a screen and I don't need one. I think we will see hacks with the pi 400 soon that will have a battery anyway, or one can just disassemble it and attach a power bank to it anyway so I guess the solution is already there.

This is so good, I work from home and I've been eyeballing products like this for a while but until now its all been 3rd party. What would really take the cake for me is if they made a version of this but with a battery and wireless charging, then this really would be an exceptional portable desktop pc.
revanx_··on NAT Slipstreaming
But it does know, 192.168.x.x is a reserved private network address.
revanx_··on NAT Slipstreaming
I thought CORS is blocked by default in modern browsers?
revanx_··on NAT Slipstreaming

  hidden img tags to all common gateways (eg 192.168.0.1) are loaded in background
And why would browsers allow this? If I connect to external IP address, why would the browser happly parse such html tags that allows introspection of my local network? Unless of same origin, browsers should not allow this, seems like a bug.
revanx_··on Turkey buys Delphi licenses for an estimated one million students
I programmed in Delphi for 8 years, then I switched to FreePascal. Yes, the grass is greener on the other side, and it's also free.

"non programmers can create simple programs"

What does that mean? You can be a non programmer and make simple programs in most general purpose programming languages.

Are you talking about the VCL library? In that case, there are many other languages that include the same like C# for example.

revanx_··on Windows Sandbox
Sure, I just don't think they should advertise this as such because it's nothing more then a VM. It's not some new windows feature, you could do this same thing since Windows 8.1 using hyper-V or since windows XP using something like Virtualbox.

A proper sandbox would be if you could run a program in the same operating system with an isolated execution environment, similar to how sandboxie does it.

revanx_··on Windows Sandbox
This is not a sandbox. All this does is launch windows in hyper-v virtual machine and configures the virtual environment automatically for you.

You could achieve all of this yourself manually and you still wouldn't call it a sandbox, you would call it VM.

revanx_··on Windows Sandbox
I agree, been using Sandboxie for way over 6 years now and it's the easiest thing ever to use.
revanx_··on Windows Sandbox
Do you have any info that shows it's not "as elegant"? Sandboxie works great for me and has always done it's job.
revanx_··on Nvidia Appears To Have A GPU Inventory Problem
Hah, that's what they said about maxwell architecture.
revanx_··on Gitea: Open source, self-hosted GitHub alternative
Another good alternative to Gitea is Fossil if you're looking for a lightweight single exe SCM.
revanx_··on ReactOS releases 0.4.8 with experimental Vista/7/10 software compatibility
How's that? It's open source and they wrote the whole thing from scratch. Even if they abandon the project it's open source and work can continue even after MS has their way with them.
revanx_··on Qubes OS 4.0 has been released
Afaik they are not working on that at all.
revanx_··on VPN leaks users’ IPs via WebRTC
this is old news tho, I was aware of this for ages. If you check privacy websites thats one of the first thing they say, turn off webRTC in your browser.

revanx_··on System76 ME Firmware Updates Plan
You're making a mistake to make it sound so casual, at least put in a warning to always backup the bios image first before flashing the chip. Not all boards are the same, for example I've got a gigabyte board,I've flashed the bios just setting the HAP bit and it bricked the board because that part of the image segment is checksum validated. Luckly I had the backup ready to flash back so there was no downtime.
revanx_··on Desktop compositing latency is real
The irony is that it's most often not the fault of the DWM for the latency but the applications themself. Since DWM acts as the screens double buffer, your application needs to be synchronous with the DWM frame timing, not being in sync means latency and flickering.
revanx_··on VPN Report – Reviews of the top VPNs
"The following VPNs were not reviewed due to their website experience being poorly designed. This can mean heavy use of stock photos, utter disregard for detail, difficult navigation, excessive and hard to follow text, non-defaulting to HTTPS, and overall poor usability. "

And apparently that applies to AirVPN? Lol, this guy lost all credibility, this is just another "honest and totally not payed for online review", thats why tunnelbear is righ there at the top (you see their commercials everywhere) and he even says it's his favorite VPN.

0/10

revanx_··on Alex Honnold Scales El Capitan Without Ropes, and the Climbing World Reels
I'm curious , if he is free climbing this large peaks, wouldn't it make sense to wear one of em lightweight parachutes, I'm sure for someone like Alex an extra 800g wouldn't be much of an issue would it?
revanx_··on I miss Delphi
I couldn't help but notice that your component library doesn't include a TreeView component, do you have this planned for the near future?
revanx_··on I miss Delphi
The release candidate works great however what ultimately turned us away from this product was the fact that they only offer source code for the client components, you don't actually ever get to see the source code for the server, which is a big nono.

What language did you move to?
revanx_··on YouTube removes hundreds of the best climate science videos from the Internet
I think that's just called being an asshole
revanx_··on YouTube removes hundreds of the best climate science videos from the Internet
So quick to point fingers at /r/The_Donald. I lurk there and they are just ppl who support Trump and like to meme about it. They certainly aren't the nazis or the kkk or whatever the progressive left in America has decided to call em today, and as far as I know they don't deny climate change either.
revanx_··on AMD Gives More Zen Details
Will the new Zen include the AMD Platform Security Processor (PSP)?

(To those asking, PSP is the equivalent of the Intel Management Engine).

revanx_··on Intel Security True Key
Also worth saying is that if True Key is installed via Flash Mcafee bundle you can't actually uninstall it, you have to manually remove the service and delete the files/reg keys.
