    The company doing the actual ID verification (KYC) is probably the last company I'd trust with this kind of data. To circumvent conversations being flagged as "cybersecurity bad!!!…

    I ran gemma4:26b without any tooling access and it gave me the correct answer in a few minutes only (definitely less than 8 minutes, but I didn't timed it). Specs : RX 9070 XT (24G…

    But the older you are, the more likely it is that you have built a family and have children and responsibilities outside of work. You cannot necessarily afford to spend time studyi…

    I didn't used a kit, but bought the components separately (microcontroller, key caps, switches, wires). It runs custom code as it was sufficient to fit my use case, though QMK may …

    I recently built a small hand-wired macro pad using an Arduino Pro Micro equipped with ATmega32U4, it's apparently quite popular amongst hobbyists building custom keyboards. Quick …

    (Disclaimer, I'm the maintainer of this package, but this kind of use is exactly why I created it at the beginning) If you know how to use HTML+CSS and would like to generate full-…

    I wrote a Python package [1] that does something similar! It allows the generation of images from HTML+CSS strings or files (or even other files like SVGs) and could probably handl…

    For further nitpicking: "etc." shall also end with '.' as it is the abbreviated form of "et cetera/caetera". Also, when used in an enumeration, it shall be preceded by a comma. htt…

    If this is an established fact, where could one learn more about this?

    The french example sounds off in my opinion, it seems to mix up its consonants/ vowels. The "OU" sound from "nous" sounds like "EU", or like if the sound was skipped. The "OH" soun…

    It appears to be invite-only (even though you can request an invite). I'm not sure about what drove them to do so, but that may be why there is not much activity on the website.

    Interestingly, they have a "barcode" system that allow them (and allow us) to know the age of a given sock. "Blacksocks knows the age of all socks" https://www.blacksocks.com/en/ag…

    This peculiar tool seems to be aimed at developers, so I don't find it surprising.

    Then it would be an attack vector of course, but whether it is a vulnerability of the password manager itself would be debatable.

    The XML config file is by default stored locally, as KeePass doesn't support cloud-backup or sync out of the box. If the XML config file is on DropBox, that is because you allowed …

    This 'someone' could also, on most computers, install a keylogger to get your master password, or passwords that aren't registered in a password manager. Would you consider this a …
