I appreciate my 2011 vehicle that only has a car radio with FM tuner and CDs, and yes, I know that I could easily swap it but I didn't on purpose, let me explain why: - all the controls that I need, that are basically…
Except than later we returned to a sort-of segmented memory. That is of course paging, our programs allocates pages of memory that are a fixed size (4096 bytes) and are arranged in memory or in swap space how the OS…
> but it's also the fastest way to support Mac, Windows, and Linux all at once Is really that simple compared to a normal cross platform web application written in (for example, but there are multiple frameworks) QT? I…
And a limited VM, for example I look at the documentation and it's not possible to share USB devices with the VM, making it perfectly useless for doing embedded development where you have to connect to the boards with…
It did work quite well. The problem with the filesystem could have been solved by optimizing the Windows kernel, that would have benefit also programs run outside the WSL by the way (NTFS have performance problems and…
The future is clearly that, model inference running on consumer hardware not a network datacenter. We are getting there, local models gets better and better, it's only a matter of time. Of course this would be bad news…
> if you don't like that car/company, don't buy their product. buy competitors. that will show them much better. (or petition to government to put pressure on them). That maybe fine, but if something is allowed at the…
No: T&C cannot override the law, that is a national/EU law is still superior to anything that is written in the T&C. If there is a contrast between T&C and the law of course that T&C are just scratch paper.
To me there is a fundamental difference. Even if PC hardware costs slightly more (now because of the RAM situation, Apple producing his chips in house can get better deals of course), it's something that is worth more…
It's not the job of the operating system to protect children. Social media is bad even for adults, to my point of view why they don't address the source of the problem, banning what Instagram, TikTok, etc. is doing that…
To me is strange that for such important document they didn't print them and scan with a scanner (that way it's physically impossible that some metadata or other thing that is not on the printed piece of paper ends up…
Nowadays they call AI everything. Browsers translate websites from decades, when AI was only a word you would see in science fiction movies.
Why they are a security feature? They are not, the article even says it. Even if UUID4 are random, nobody guarantees that they are generated with a cryptographically secure random number generator, and in fact most…
If you put an index on the UUID field (because you have an API where you can retrieve objects with UUID) you have kind of the same problem, at least in Postgres where a primary key index or a secondary index are more or…
> Even further, there is technology to encrypt from server to screen. I'm not sure on the rollout on this one. I think we have a long time until this is implemented, and even then, I'm sure we will have the ability to…
I think because it cost money and they get little benefit on doing so. Major platform like Netflix etc. don't implement that DRM since they care, it's because they content they distribute requires that they employ that…
More easily in the past (I don't think if it's still true for 4K) you only needed an HDMI splitter to bypass HDCP copy protection.
It's easy to make the switch in a rich country with less than 10 millions of inhabitants, mostly living in big cities.
It's not that simple. There are a ton of legacy systems that upgrading would cost a lot of money and it's not the fact or replacing a 100 euros smartphone. A lot of these systems have a critical (safety) function, and…
You can't shut down 2G, because there are a lot of devices, mainly embedded systems like alarms, lift emergency call button, GPS trackers, etc. that still use 2G. Also 2G is the only reliable network connection in a lot…
They do that now because they care about your security, but to make it difficult to modify (jailbreak) your own devices to run your own software that is not approved by Apple. What they do is against your interests, for…
I don't thing Google will enforce this verification as an option that cannot be disabled. Not because they care about open-source, but because there are contexts where Android is used where the device doesn't have an…
Of course they want them: if not one could install a modified Signal client from F-Droid and bypass the mass surveillance they want to introduce with Chat Control. I'm considering that the UK did not take a bad decision…
This is plain stupid. Countries (e.g. where I live) already have systems like SPID or CIE that can authenticate users using a multitude of factors, for example I can authenticate myself with a QR and a phone, or I can…
I remember the time one of my coworkers accidentally enabled failevault on our CI machine, I had to take it out of the rack, dust it off, connect it to a monitor and keyboard, just to login and disable it. Good thing…
