An example: If Im ever going to sell my Nintendo Switch (1), I’m absolutely going to include the model number. The reason: It’s a launch day Switch. While this means that it is the oldest model and also the battery might have more wear than a newer model, it also suffers from an unpatchable hardware bug that allows you to hack the system (and run homebrew, pirated games, modded games,…).
Police in Burgenland said in a statement that a sample from one of the 190g (7oz) jars of carrots and potatoes baby food reported by a customer had tested positive for rat poison
[…]
The police statement said the affected jars had a sticker with a red circle on the bottom […]
Now… Was it one or were there several?
With an old Kindle, it was trivially easy to rip Kindle books to retail-quality epubs.
Heh, yes. The encryption key for their old DRM was derivated from the Kindle’s serial number. Wanted to crack your library? Go to the webpage, download them all there (yes, that’s now blocked, too) open them all in calibre and use a plugin to deactivate the DRM (trivially to find back then). Enter your serial number and you’ve freed your whole library.
There’s also a relevant xkcd for that.
There are some projects, that do not offer latest or a general tag to pin a major version. So you might need to account for that.
Also since a few years ago you can specify pull_policy: always in the docker-compose.yaml to always pull the images on start. That should at least auto update the containers on a server reboot after OS/Kernel updates.
Unless you forgot AutoUpdate=registry in the .container file for half of them, like I did.
But yeah, I switched to Podman over a year ago and I’m not looking back.
How else would I be able to complain?
They’re too big to fail, too big to jail, too big to care.
By removing Section 230, platform holders, like Steam, would be liable for any “illegal” content uploaded to the platform, as opposed to those creating and uploading said content.
So… Regarding all those scam ads that Meta doesn’t care about…
Won’t somebody think of the children?
But yes, they do! Believe me, they do!
Don’t you think, that’s enough already?
Blame him all you want for things he did, but trying to keep calm in that situation?
If he had jumped up and left the room asap or maybe said a few words to end that event quickly and GTFO, he’d probably been criticized, too. Probably something about not being professional or whatever.
Pluralistic by Cory Doctorow:
bool isChild() {
pid_t result= fork()
return (result == 0)
}
Also they constantly tested various variants to get around the block list (Micr0slop, M!croslop,…) just because.
Can we also mix it with some old names? Micro$lop for example?
There’s an app that I find useful. Many many years ago (on Android 2.3 or maybe Android 4?) I got a lifetime license for it.
Then a few years ago they updated the app and introduced a subscription. I don’t care, because the features that I use are still accessible in the grandfathered lifetime license. BUT after every update without a subscription you now need to complete the whole “let’s personalize this app for you” thing. Afterwards it just dumps you onto a screen to select the subscription you want to pay for. You need to dismiss that screen in order to use the free features OR login and restore your old license to unlock most of the features.
They intentionally put a white X to dismiss that screen in the top left, but also put a very bright image there directly under it, so that it’s barely recognizable.
That’s a strange way to type occupy…
If it’s a depdency nested deep in the dependency graph, that doesn’t necessarily mean I abandoned my project. I might be using this dependency of a dependency in my project and don’t notice anything, if there is a precompiled version for the (Python/Linux/…) distribution I’m running on my machine, so I might not notice that. It might even be, that I keep my dependencies up to date, but someone up the chain isn’t. And maybe there isn’t really a viable alternative to that one dependency that pulls that package in.
