There was a recent vulnerability, where researchers were able to extract information from an encrypted chat session from an LLM, by analyzing packet size/timings of the underlying …

A badly programmed Kalman filter perhaps

They could've blocked just the comments, allowing at least read-only access to the site, instead of blocking it off entirely

If you run emulated Windows 98 in the browser with e.g. v86, it is faster to open the start menu on the emulated Windows 98 than on the real Windows 11 running it. Windows user exp…

The entire text reads like multiple AI-produced excerpts glued together

In that case you issue a recall, which is the correct way of dealing with potentially fatal manufacturing defects.

I think users wouldn't be so resistant to security updates of they were just that and not bundled with feature removal, unwanted new features, and other things. Or if they were pro…

Maybe just re-tuning the timing, if he's using high performance sticks. Because parts are hard to get by where I live, I usually stick 10+ years with a PC. With usage I found that …

Encrypted Client Hello and DNS over HTTPS.

My experience with academia is that most of this hard work is done by undergrads, and conception and management by professors; developers aren't hired to do this. So besides "going…

Except that driving at a speed significantly different from the surrounding traffic increases the risk of a crash.

There is a tension, but it's between paying enough to developers to actually produce decent code or pay a 3rd-party to firewall the application.

environmental "awareness" doesn't mean dog poo; environment-friendly will only be prioritized when it's cheaper to do so. That's why government subsidies and taxing are REQUIRED. T…

I agree. That documentation really needs some love. But if you see the discussions on github issues about quadlet features a common theme is maintainers dismissing requests because…

Running a very similar setup here, also have issues with networking. Pasta worked, but has bugs and replied UDP packets on the wrong ports. The pasta version from debian packages i…

Case in point: .NET's garbage collector which is a single 54k loc C++ file.

I think an alternative to local root certs would be to use a public cert + dnsmasq on your LAN to resolve the requests to a local address.

The "a guy texting while driving is gonna rear end someone, sue him and actually win" type.

Seamonkey needs more love. The best one for me, does not try to be "modern" - keeps the interface unchanged and only updates real functionality.

Only 5th and 6th to be believed. Every time a manufacturer says vague descriptions like "security" or "performance" fixes, be wary - they probably removing perfectly working functi…

It sounds bad, but the alternative is policy makers making decisions out of their arses, so maybe this really is a tool that can improve public management. Problem is that the owne…

Besides what others said, realistically, the effort to support N versions is not O(n). I think it's something like O(log n), because code will largely be shared between versions - …

Looks similar to what was Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. They even said McDonnell bought Boeing with Boeing's money. Looks like CA bought Broadcom with Broadcom's money

It probably has a heuristic for it
