the more time i spend on this website and read through comments the more i realise just how insufferable every single pro-ai person is to be around.

z8··on Multimodal WFH setup: flight SIM, EE lab, and music studio in 60sqft/5.5M²
This is honestly one of the most appealing WFH spaces I've ever seen. MDF desk tops aside (I would've gone with cherry), I love this. I'm gonna need to steal the idea with the central switch board and look into industrial shelves...
z8··on Cobalt – lightweight HTML5 application container from YouTube
A click on “Cobalt on partner site”, the second link on the page, leads to a 404. Great job guys.
z8··on LineageOS is the perfect minimal smartphone for non-tech savvy folk
Even with Google Play Services working, there's a much more difficult underlying issue that makes for a rather unpleasant user experience with banking apps: SafetyNet Attestation/Play Integrity/CTS profiles/whatever other names there are for it.

I remember that ages ago I had to use Magisk and a finnicky Xposed module on my phone to be able to get past the root protection my banking app had. I'll be honest, these days I just don't have the mental energy for those sorts of fights anymore.

z8··on AMD EPYC 7C13 Is a Surprisingly Cheap and Good CPU
It should be noted that non-vendorlocked 7282s can be had for as little as 80 bucks on eBay. Bought one just a few weeks ago. Lovely piece of silicon.
z8··on Breaking SecuROM 7 – A Dissection
Unfortunately MKDEV announced their retirement last year. FIFA 23 was their last release.
z8··on Analysis of Obfuscation Techniques Found in Apple FairPlay
Great read! As someone who has spent a good chunk of time looking at FairPlay code in the past, it was interesting to follow someone else’s chain of thought :)

z8··on Noclip.website: A digital museum of video game levels
They do not share a file format. If you look at the GitHub repo for this site (https://github.com/magcius/noclip.website) you will find parsers, etc. for every single game.

z8··on An Ode to Apple’s Hide My Email
Not as of right now, but I could put it on GitHub. It's essentially just a front end for the Gandi.net email management API. Manually editing the alias list gets cumbersome really quickly.
z8··on An Ode to Apple’s Hide My Email
The most recent incident I remember was with a debrid service. I opened a ticket with their support and was told that the point of the policy was to combat abuse of their service. Not entirely sure why a paid service that accepts cryptocurrencies would care about email addresses.
z8··on An Ode to Apple’s Hide My Email
I'm doing the exact same thing. Built a small web app that lets me manage all my email aliases for the domain. Unfortunately there are a couple of websites that do only allow a select list of whitelisted domains meaning I cannot use my own, but for the other 99% it works wonders. I wish I had had this idea ten years ago, it would have saved me so many headaches.
