RIP, every once in a while I rewatch the segment in Computer Chronicles where he attempted to take apart an IBM PS/2, one of the funniest things ever.

No problem, glad that got sorted out :)

I have a question: It seems that all the preview PNGs and the WSZ files themselves are fetched from hxxp://webampskins.org. When I go to that website directly, I get redirected to …

I got used to that one, but the other day I was checking Outlook in the web browser and I ended up on outlook.cloud.microsoft , I couldn't believe my eyes.

While I get your point, I can't think of a free email service that wouldn't also be a gate to other products. Whether it's Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail etc. you always get an "accoun…

QR codes are used in direct account-to-account transactions. They encode all the data like the IBAN-based account number, bank code, requested sum etc. that you may find on invoice…

Awesome, this must be a recent thing, when I last checked about a year ago the latest drivers from restricted were a couple versions behind. Many people always complained about it …

I’m curious about proprietary Nvidia drivers. Ubuntu normally comes with fairly outdated, if not obsolete ones, but there’s a semi-official PPA with more recent versions. How does …

Thinking about it, I probably wouldn't remember to change my fingerprints to the new ones with all the services I use, I'd probably have to carry my "legacy fingerprints" wherever …

You put your child in the driver’s seat and expect others to make sure it doesn’t make a wrong turn? Did you really have to give it the keys to this hypothetical car instead of, sa…

I have the exact same problem, except it affects my cheapo keyboard. Almost every time I move from my desk, the Num/Caps/Scroll Lock LEDs flash up as the controller restarts. And s…

And they say Linux is inconvenient because you have to open the terminal every once in a while.

Pretty sure that for Meta the impossibility to moderate E2EE was the point. It’s cheaper to shrug than pay content moderators.

I'm curious if this would really be considered unlawful access, since only pure idiocy and no hacking/scamming/etc were involved.

You have a point, I've seen a fair share of Github projects where they asked you to join their Discord if you wanted documentation/support/tips etc.

Wouldn't it also be a performance nightmare? The energy bill for scanning through the terabytes of metadata would be comparable to that of several months of AI training, not to men…

Do you mean that new action button thingy above the volume controls? You can reassign to perform something else in the settings. Only a few options to choose from, but it's totally…

I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to say. You could always edit system files with notepad, that was something that the program always excelled at thanks to its simplicit…

No matter how open source something is, as long as you can only run it on a non-rooted Google or Apple device, and it’s hardcoded with remote attestation features exclusive to thes…

I don't imagine this was a 100% their decision, it's more like a response to the epidemic of all the world's governments suddenly coming up with adult verification schemes. Discord…

According to Have I Been Pwned, 663 thousand accounts were in the breach. You can verify your address there.

I tried using Hotmail as my primary for a while a few years ago and I've never seen more legitimate mail being entirely dropped with no explanation. It would never reach the inbox,…

That's right, and Microsoft Authenticator isn't.
