They do not care, AlphaTheta is well down the enshittification road. They captured all the DJs, then they captured all the venues, and now they'll squeeze both for profits until a …

I too also have a special place of hate for Rekordbox. However I'm somewhat confused by this vulnerability, isn't plug n play unauthenticated file access essentially a core feature…

That's why most platforms have been forced to adopt non-DMCA takedown procedures (available only to large corporations of course). This way they are able to get rid of "infringing"…

I like to remember that Gibson wrote Neuromancer on a typewriter and hadn't even touched a computer till (I believe) half way through Count Zero.

> The hard part seems to be smooth rapid vertical descent. It's impossible to predict how the prop wash will interact with the wind and push the drone around as it descends into it…

Oh yeah, there's no shortage of reasons not to use SF6. Even in conventional waveguides, as far as I know most designs these days prefer nitrogen or dried atmospheric air.

You don't need a significant flow of argon, just enough to keep unwanted gasses out of the waveguide. It's possible there exists a material that is transparent to mm waves, airtigh…

Nobody is questioning the value of unconstrained mass surveillance on solving crimes. Unfortunately it also enables a good deal of more heinous crimes against the people its suppos…

Its not integrated to the SoC, it is soldered to the mainboard though.

They didn't have the code for the offensive program, they were creating the emulator to run it on a different architecture.

The user wants the website to work in IE6, developing and testing only against IE6 to the detriment of other browsers is not generally regarded as a healthy state of affairs. The s…

Yes, for the ones I've owned rooting is very easy. KOReader and Plato are both popular (amongst the community of eReader rooting people) alternatives to the OEM software.

Whether or not it works isn't what matters. It's whether or not the perpetrator, consciously or not, believes it works.

I feel like building an nLab would be a far more valuable learning experience then using one. The caveat being not just as a DIY soldering kit but as a full "course" in the design …

They're presenting it as a "intro to electronics" device. I think they've missed though, as far as I'm concerned, learning to build a "nLab" equivalent device from a bare AVR MCU w…

The spec page says 100 kHz BW on the oscilloscope, the FAQ says 400 kHz. In either case calling it an "oscilloscope" is a stretch, its the ADC channels on an MCU. I find it curious…

A company operating above board would be sure to carefully document the state of the rental before and after whatever work they were doing. Any tradesperson/installer/technician/re…

Of course its an incentive, however the disincentives to purchasing (subscribing/spending), and thus producing, such games still exist.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct. However! That would be a terrible UX/UI experience. While showing distances on a linear scale is accurate, it fails to captur…

For something like a transfer between Starships you can resolve a lot of those problems by (very) gently spinning the 2 craft. It won't take much force for the liquids to settle at…

> 7. Half the packages are maintained by one person, unpaid, at 2 a.m., after getting yelled at in GitHub issues. By a manager for for a >$1 billion market cap corporation who does…

Assuming you are talking about real physical dice and not an imaginary function that generates perfectly random die rolls. They are actually pretty poor random number generators. F…

It's not academic, it's a real practical reality. Alice runs many services and has a rather large attack surface. I don't want Alice to persist those secrets, only to have them bri…

Sadly, the problem isn't the TPM or Remote Attestation. It's Google et al choosing to only talk to devices and software they like without concern for what the user wants or trusts.…

I have 2 servers, Alice and Bob, Bob has a secret, I want Bob to be able to share that secret with Alice. However, I want Alice to be able to prove to Bob that it is actually Alice…
