It used to be more of a problem back when not every popular firmware had a way to reflash from SD/via OTA, because you could get stuck on a firmware with no way to flash out of it.…

I own both an "old" X4 as well as a "new"/"domestic"/locked X3. The pogo cable transfers data, and the device shows up in dmesg when connected, but disappears shortly after. The ca…

They disabled the ability to USB flash on every device not bought from their official store.

That's, in my opinion, a pretty vanilla starter stack. Could probably argue that you don't need replicated storage, and that ArgoCD is nicer to look at, but Talos in particular sim…

Codeberg doesn't use Cloudflare.

> you get most of results in Windows through the CryptoProvider Isn't that what you want on that platform? ADCS even supports issuing remote-attested TPM certs via EK, no need to r…

>e.g. $500 USD I've seen private cheats for games with less-than-terrible anticheats charge that monthly, if not weekly. You're underestimating how much people are willing to pay t…

That's actually really easy: 1. be government agency 2. pay 30-70% less than private sector companies would for a similar position 3. receive applicants that are 30-70% less compet…

Sensitive data written down on a sticky note is arguably more secure than that same data sitting on an unencrypted hard drive, at least in a home setting.

Kind of. There's an "unlocker" that just spoofs their OTA endpoint to flash custom firmware because xteink decided to not implement TLS validation, though they could theoretically …

The X3/X4 are such neat devices with a great community behind them, shame the manufacturer decided to lock down devices sold on AliExpress in an attempt to funnel potential custome…

The "CTF for fun" aspect has been dead ever since the winning teams had thousands of dollars of rewards waiting for them. Of course people are going to use anything that's not expl…

Vista was fine from the get-go if you had enough (>=4GB) RAM, which OEMs mostly didn't bother shipping. My ME machine would reliably BSOD when I opened / closed the CD tray.

It absolutely does happen that way in Germany. We had Fiber Company A rip up the entire city a year ago, and Fiber Company B ripped up the streets again just a few weeks ago. ETA f…

Don't forget that ActiBlizz are also pretty much the only ones regularly taking legal action against pay2cheat developers, see Bossland/EngineOwning.

My understanding is that the responses are signed, but in a way that prevents linking signatures across vendors, so the same card being used for verification on different sites cou…

I've been really enjoying all these articles proposing solutions to anonymous age verification, mainly because most of them are written as if this has never been implemented in the…

Yeah, it tends to get stuck in loops like that a lot with everything set to default. I wonder if they distilled Gemini at some point, I've seen that get stuck in a similar "I will …

Qwen3.5 pretty much requires a long system prompt, otherwise it goes into a weird planning mode where it reasons for minutes about what to do, and double and triple checks everythi…

OpenAI also does a really fun thing where prepaid credits just straight up expire after a year, which is straight up completely illegal in most (all?) of the EU.

You're developing "certbot, but it's paid and sends private keys around the network instead of generating the csr locally"? Why? Who's the target audience? Platforms that can't run…

Running modern full-fat Linux on anything sub-512MB isn't a great experience unless you're willing to do a lot of tweaking, or running specialized distros like alpine. If dropping …

Yes, 100ml from the same store I bought a liter from for 40€ in 2015 now cost 56€. There is currently a tax of 0.32€ per ml on liquid, no matter if you're buying the base or the fi…

If purchasing via SEPA there's a wait period until the payment has cleared, if payment is done via credit card/[Apple|Google] Pay/PayPal fulfillment is instant.

Refillable vapes used to be the standard around a decade ago, back when a liter of vape base (without nicotine) cost 30€ at max. Disposable vapes pretty much didn't exist. Now the …
