The link to cryptanalysis details is no longer working. Here's an alternative: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/FrankStevenson/analysis.ht...

That's also CalRobert's post, so it refers to the same person.

Why is Auracast not ready yet?

I guess even a disposable vape has more computing power than the Lunar lander. (I don't know if that's more or less ridiculous than a key fob, but at least a key is not so disposab…

Without paying for remote backups, can I just manage my own backup on my own hard drive, and restore it when I want to?

> Honestly I feel like you should only use kernel anticheat on a dedicated machine that's kept 100% separate from any of your personal data. That's a lot to ask of people, but you …

Also, "extremely rich" is like "extremely successful in life" to a lot of people. But for the latter, emotional connections are also important.

When it stops working great. My 2014 Macbook is about due for an upgrade, mostly due to the GPU struggling with a 4K screen.

Synthetic data can never contain more information than the statistical model from which it is derived: it is simply the evaluation of a non-deterministic function on the model para…

The interesting question is not the choice between diversity and merit, but how you attract and select the most meritorious candidates in a setting where your company overwhelmingl…

I don't think this is a matter of merely re-shipping the same products. For example, if you look at poultry, the Netherlands imported 240 M€ worth of live poultry and exported 2300…

Punitive damages are not a thing in a large part of the world. In particular in the European countries where Paypal or some of its subsidiaries reside.

The reason you're getting downvotes is because your comment is irrelevant. The point of the article is the transition of passwords to passkeys. Minimizing the number of accounts yo…

Amazon Prime Video is even worse, on Linux they only serve 480p. Any pirated file is much better quality.

Which ones? And why are they less convenient? I like Spotify and use it a lot, but I think their UI is somewhat okay at best.
