    The ecosystem is exactly what I'm wondering about. What's the point of going beyond the color spaces content is being mastered for? Are there grading monitors with multi-primary pi…

    If you find those few instances that have those few uploaders that interest you, the content can be good. However it does certainly suffer from the fact that all federated instance…

    Preflight requests won't be doing mTLS on all browsers.

    No. AMOC is petawatt-scale, nine orders of magnitude beyond our reach.

    We aren't even remotely close to petawatt-scale datacenters fortunately.

    Servers can communicate their preference in terms of CAs they want. But the UX in browsers is unbelievably horrible for no good reason. Not only is it difficult for an user to make…

    Yup. Looking back I wish I had location data on some of the photos I took. Can't share them but can't also remember where I took them. Unfortunate.

    There's nothing about a digital ID system that would inherently require the use of a pre-approved OS. Some countries went with SmartCards that you can use on any platform that can …

    You'd imagine they'd just reuse and verify the Authenticode signature the very least.

    Wacom does the same CRC-32 BS in their updater. I blocked HTTP connections from my local network years ago and you wouldn't believe how many driver installers and auto-updaters bre…

    It's really difficult to reliably separate temporary and persistent browser storage. I tried at some point to reduce HDD noise. But given how neither Firefox or Chrome properly fol…

    I installed Syncthing on it to make syncing new books onto it much easier. That's the biggest and primary value I got from it.

    It also works with time domain video files like audio visualizers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3gf88rSzqo Nothing extremely surprising though.

    BeepBerry is awesome, my only issue is the relatively low resolution of the screen. But it is very readable in bright light. Tradeoffs, I guess.

    Your comment reminds me of HP's obscure EFI OS called QuickLook. I would guess there are a lot of obscure OSs out there.

    LLMs managing the "coloring book" equivalent of something is not bullish for the "art" version of something. The intent for most CTFs is to provide a meaningful challenge that conc…

    The more you obfuscate a topic against LLMs the lower the educational value of a challenge. The only things that works is novelty and obscurity. LLMs still suck with things mention…

    No, the search space is much more vast and the feedback loop almost nonexistent. The reason LLMs can do CTFs so well is partially because the challenges are usually designed to avo…

    It's all very proprietary and the tooling is ass, there's a lot of wasted effort creating and testing out the same stuff. Bluetooth is just as horrible for the same reasons.
