The dolby/thx stuff for headphone s is done at the software level. It's just preset filters provided by synapse. There is no hardware dolby unless you get into the PCI audio card s…

Neither, the author is pointing out the desire of the enslaver, not the actual outcome. But I don't think their logic takes into account access to means to 'outsmart' the enslaver.…

That would be poisoning the test with outside knowledge. Essentially boosting their skills with some expertise, exactly what was undesirable. You are not wrong, just that was not t…

And this is -exactly- one of the reasons they didn't accept or continue with a sane proposal for more ergonomic error handling. I like go, but this was the one thing that I kept fe…

I don't think any form of automated adoption of orphaned packages will ever work, it's just too easy to introduce malicious code into an otherwise functional but no longer maintain…

I get that premise, I guess I've just been around a lot of bad engineers that use these types of tools as crutches but can't actually articulate or diagnose problems well. They jus…

Maybe I just missed the boat on hashicorp and similar solutioning, but I find a lot of the solutions for working with multiple systems using an intermediary shared language, such a…

I think the damage/risk here isn't explicitly about exfiltration, but could also just be damage/harm to the organization through re-writing content in documents.

Im not sure airline history agrees with you. My cursory knowledge from prior posts on HN like this had mentioned regulation/deregulation played a huge part in shaping the ways that…

Ahh yes, that Bourne guy is clearly incompetent.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_R._Bourne

Typically just find bindings for your language and adapt the startup/bootstrap to match your language syntax. Opengl calls are fairly agnostic especially when you move to the shade…

Pretty sure slack enterprise has this feature for turning private chats into public channels. Edit: verified. You can do this but takes an extra step of converting to private chann…

Devils advocate question: Isn't registering an ip to name essentially advertising? You're paying a registrar to return your Internet address location when searched for.

Huh? South-asia is more than just india. Just like all of the other cardinal directions that refer to different geographical regions within asia. Why can't it be a part of Asia?

No, I think it's widely regarded as engine limitations even when people continually claim it's up to individual game devs to optimize their games. If that were the case then why do…

Scratching discs doesn't typically render them permanently unreadable, unless the scratch gets to the metal. There are tools which resurface the discs.

Sorry, I didn't quote the relavent section. My reply was not an attempt at translating the acronym, but replying to the context of being mad at using 'unfair tactics'

... All's fair in love and war?

Keepass, use different db stores for passwords than for the MFA/TOTP. never store the keepass db passwords anywhere except your head. Use a different device for the totp db than th…

Isnt this essentially just slight of hand? Google basically defaults to AI search now doesn't it? So of course it will be 'fastest adopted' it's what is shoved in peoples faces. If…

I'm in the same boat, I started using go only a year ago, but don't want to really use anything else now for apps or data processing. I wrote an app that loaded a lot of data for r…

We do get ice and snow in Portland, along with flooding and landslides. No, it's not the same as Midwest, but we do get a few days every other year or so that you just don't drive …

Steam dropped basically alongside team fortress.
