toxicFork··on Updated Proton, Unified Protection

I was working on a side project to do exactly this, including emails from Airbnb, hotel and flight bookings, but for fastmail :) I will check if I still have the code...

I gave up on it because I wasn't sure how to solve potential privacy issues or concerns if I wanted others to be able to use it.

They explain it pretty well in the article.

toxicFork··on $35 sculpture found at an Austin Goodwill was looted from a museum during WWII

The art is not the NFT. The person only "owns" a hash code that points to the art.

toxicFork··on Georgia to mandate personal finance education

The main thing is that people think that "buying some amount of crypto currency is an investment".

It may be, but way too volatile, much more than people's actual desired risk profiles.

So they have unrealistic expectations where a few people end up winning and way too many end up holding the empty bag.

Statistically, that's not an investment, that's a scheme.

toxicFork··on Snapchat’s product is booming

Relatives, the bane of social media.

toxicFork··on 7-Zip up to 21.07 on Windows allows privilege escalation and command execution

Check out this cool Easter egg!

toxicFork··on Beewise pulls in $80M investment for robotic beehives

Ants have some methods of doing this exactly, with some guards at the entrance carrying off infected ants before they can enter. Seen in the documentary "fantastic fungi".

toxicFork··on Vanced Discontinuation

NDA?

toxicFork··on My First Impressions of Web3

Some NFT platforms operate with IPFS whose URLs are hashes of content. This solves that problem.

toxicFork··on The joy of building a ray tracer, for fun, in Rust

I guess this thread is the best place to ask for this:

Do you know of good open source real time (preferably gpu based) ray tracing engines out there? That can be used for games? I see a bunch of lists but want to get your expert opinion.

E.g. https://awesomeopensource.com/projects/raytracing/real-time

toxicFork··on Disney Combines CGI with Neural Rendering to Tackle the ‘Uncanny Valley’

Something feels really uncanny with them. Especially the nose.

toxicFork··on Ultracold, superdense atoms become invisible

Is that temperature uniformly spread?

toxicFork··on Open Steno Project – Freeing stenography

It will be relevant, because there will be people interested in typing. It is like how there are pencil artists even though we can all use Photoshop.

toxicFork··on Please log in with router's password

Sounds like they learned their lesson

toxicFork··on End of the line for Uber?

I have a theory that Uber's making a killing, but making sure that they don't look profitable on paper so that they don't have to pay taxes.

I haven't done any research and I don't really care, it's just fun to consider.

toxicFork··on Please log in with router's password

And I'd bet a nice amount that most of them have the default passwords.

Some years ago I wrote a little tool to iterate all of an ISP's ip addresses and around 90% were using default passwords. Mostly homes, but some businesses.

toxicFork··on Microsoft deletes all comments under heavily criticized Windows 11 upgrade video

I'm kind of out of the loop, but I expect that if I cannot get Windows 11 then eventually my Windows 10 machines would no longer be supported with updates and so on, right? I guess I will check if I can play my games and do my work using Linux... I feel confident that I should be able to.

toxicFork··on Figma and Canva are taking on Adobe and winning

Gimp was really really horrible in UX though

Where/how can I donate some protection gear to them?

It is bad economics after all

toxicFork··on Voxon hologram volumetric display (2019)

I'm very excited for hologram tech, from AR (Magic Leap, Hololens) to more "in-world" like voxon and looking glass[0]. It's great to see progress and competition in the space.
