Just in case you weren't joking, and at the risk of making a fool of myself if you were and still are joking (and/or trolling us now), where you initially said "non-rewritable optical storage media", some people people…
I found it confusing - if a URL is "offline", I'd expect some kind of error message like connection refused or no such domain. The URL here is not "offline", it's the BL that's offline, and the BL isn't a URL.

I'm sure it's existed for many years. Ultrasonic tracking apps are from 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-device_tracking#Applicat... Let's try to imagine a world where that exists, keyword detection exists as…
I'd assume that this listening functionality only comes with certain apps, that's certainly the case for ultrasonic tracking apps [0]. Probably you have just managed to avoid installing such apps. [0]…

It's viewable via Nitter: https://nitter.net/SenWarren/status/1733956234200445130 But I agree with the earlier point, that it is a closed platform. If you want to respond, I thought it requires a phone number now in…
No, it's the other way round. You setup this DNS server to serve e.g. evil.com on the global internet. Then if you can control the client, you can just do regular DNS lookups for <longstring>.evil.com, that goes to the…
I'm not suggesting anywhere is actually using brainfuck. Why would you think I was? I was attempting to use rhetoric to point out that you do in fact care about choice of language.
There's something extremely satisfying to me about finding the source of a noise and I love how this one was recorded and analysed. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unexplained_sounds,…
You're not getting that most employers treat the requirement to use windows like the requirement to wear pants, i.e. they're not going to state it.
I've used Linux as my primary OS for > 20 years. My current job supports Mac and Windows and I accepted it with the understanding that I'd have to use windows, but couldn't get used to it, so switched to a Mac. Maybe I…
That is the same thing as preferences. Different things are important to different people, these are preferences by definition.

(3 days later, responding to myself). Maybe this was bad advice, this approach is like trying to learn a spoken language by listening to a recording and looking up each word at a time. Probably it'd be better to get a…
You just need to understand assembly. Maybe there are books that can help, I'm not aware of any, but to get started I'd recommend taking a binary of any open source software (preferably a non-optimised build, or just…

I don't develop or support anything on Windows. Sure that excludes 99.9% (I guess) of career options involving a computer, but I've still found employment that doesn't require Windows. But once either Microsoft finally…
If Windows is required for work then you've already lost. Seriously I'm unable to be productive in Windows (or Mac, I tried). I don't know what the stats are on employers requiring Windows but my current one doesn't…
Tsundoku: The art of buying books and never reading them
You completely misunderstand. Windows and Mac are different enough from every linux distro that the argument isn't about them. And if you're going to start talking about copy-rightable works of entertainment, then yes…
Debian and Arch are different enough that the argument isn't about them. The issue is the 100's of distros that could be replaced with just "install <major distro> and do apt install X" (or some other trivial thing like…
I wasn't even aware of the artificial limit (I'm in the UK), that's absurd... By "tea cup size" I meant the unrestricted 9 L tank.
