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…

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

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.

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.

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…
