I too have run into this problem on a number of devices. The client's supported codec/media format detection logic appears to be extremely pessimistic. To the point that the mere e…

Likely referring to Android's Play Integrity/hardware attestation API (good explainer from GrapheneOS [1]) that is practically used to restrict what devices/brands/Android builds a…

How are the economics of this idea meant to be viable? The proposed business model is to park hundreds of millions to billion dollars of satellites in orbit, plus the costs to main…

What if your licensed component is non-trivial, e.g. provides critical features so that omission renders the service entirely non-functional? These laws would need to cater for tha…

> Like....what licencing issues? After the game is "dead" and the parent company doesn't want to support it anymore, we could easily release the source code or even just the execut…

Unfortunately that's non-DAC copper cabling life it seems. They build them to work at the rated speed at the maximum rated distance (on the transceiver, not the spec) and none of t…

Could do with a difficulty setting that includes when you inherit someone else's log pile, someone who really enjoyed making every cut on a new and more inventive angle than the la…

Vastly different target market and/or features there. Mercedes are chasing maximum power density, minimum weight for high performance deployments, with seemingly little concern for…

Looking at just the `grit` executable, 58 of the top 200 largest file->resulting code sources are from clap-rs' derive functionality i.e. it's the command-line parsing. The #1 larg…

The problem in isolation isn't new as such, but I think there's a combination of new factors to differentiate it: 1) the speed at which AI-generated codebases grow is far in excess…

The AI pundits often seem to apply the logic that code output is directly proportional to revenue and/or profit, and as such it follows that an AI usage increase leads to more code…

Sadly that only works when all parties agree on the "clearly" part. They will lose, but only if you can endure years of squabbling in court and have unlimited funds for your legal …

That's an oversimplification. Asset vs liability isn't a binary state but a superposition. An asset can carry liabilities. Your asset might generate $10k a month in revenue, but at…

It's about denial of labour leading to denial of broader competition, rather than a true intent to build a competing product. If you were actually to follow through with building t…

This is quite a claim without any evidence to substantiate it. LLMs are nondeterministic models, whose behaviour is reliant on training data, model architecture and context (both i…

Standing a safe distance away, flanked by their union rep robots who refused to let their members go to work in such dangerous conditions. Unfortunately we can't force them to go i…

They may as well have just said: Company institutes an OKR that the IT division must spend over $1000/day/developer (fictious number). Company is surprised when IT division is cost…

Protected from _what_ and _who_, exactly? Are we protecting the owner of the vehicle from fully accessing the vehicle that they own? On my 2011 car I can hook into the OBDB port un…

Oh just wait, the AI phone service on their side will be more than happy to complete your device attestation key challenge by touch tone. We have to make sure you are still you aft…

That's dependent on the credit laws of the country in question though. In Australia you have it both ways, you cannot unreasonably discriminate (e.g. race, gender etc) but at the s…

It's a different jamming scenario however. Starlink is comparatively centralised, and reliant on both terrestrial (ground stations) and satellite communication. While the terminals…

From personal experience that usually results in the person on the attack opening two additional issues: 1) the original issue recreated, maybe with a childish flourish added e.g. …

Sounds like a new remit for the NRO. Park a billion dollar satellite over an area to keep an eye out for petty vandalism. Then the sheriffs office can team up with Space Force: pap…

Ownership of paintball guns is regulated under the state-level firearms act in most (all?) states and territories. You can use them under the direct supervision of the licensed own…

"Undrain" is not idiomatic, at least outside of Google. One might drain a tank or creek to empty it, the reverse isn't "undraining" to fill it back up. "issuance flow has been rest…
