I have a recording of me trying to pass the captcha for straight 5 minutes and giving up. To be fair, this has only happened once. What is the purpose of such loop? Bots can simply switch to another residential proxy…

Fighting with the OS is futile. The OS is always in control and apps can only ask it nicely to do things. Microsoft can simply change Recall to capture DRM-marked content too. And to avoid copyright issues, it will…
I found a wall of shame that includes manufacturers that make it hard or impossible to unlock the bootloader[1]. It was mentioned in a forum post[2]. [1]: https://github.com/melontini/bootloader-unlock-wall-of-shame…

Some time ago there was a website that showed you a random YouTube video. Like truly random. The biggest discovery to me was that a typical video has 0-1 views, nearly always <10. I bet most people don't realize this is…
Looks usable and useful unlike my joke version: https://plingbang.github.io/morsel/
That's probably rare but I had a no name TV which just let me just enable adb over network with full root access. IIRC I had to install an app that can launch arbitrary activities so I could access the buildin Android…
For a case when file sharing is intended between individuals or small groups there's an easy solution: Anyone who got the link should be able to delete the file. This should deter one from using the file sharing tool as…
Can you provide some context? Do you mean MS employees are prohibited from doing open source even outside work hours?
Awesome but seem to fail on some numbers e.g. https://api.isfizzbuzz.xyz/api/15000000000000000000000000000... BTW, there are neat divisibility rules which can give you the answer in practically linear time when the…
That's a good point. Moreover, someone built[1] an SSH server that prints your name when you connect (because GitHub publishes SSH public keys of every user): ssh whoami.filippo.io [1]:…

I understand they "cannot test every possible browser" and that "users may get subpar experience". I don't understand why there isn't "continue at your own risk" button. Maybe with a scary warning. It's kind of stupid…
Can you name a single Android phone or tablet model that is <10 y.o. for which you can access personal data with this method?
Why not just an LLM-based interpreter that direclty executes a PDF spec plus edits received by email? No need to recomplile and restart the app. A DB is also not required - the LLM will naturally remember all user…
And what makes it worse in phpBB and other forum engines is the waste of vertical space. 4 messages on your screen seems to be the maximum despite using smaller fonts than web average nowadays.

I remember MS Teams opening various files within itself instead of launching an appropriate program. I wonder what they're using for rendering PDFs.
I used gnome-terminal for years and at the times when I had to switch to a virtual console, I often had a feeling that the latter was more responsive. But that could be the placebo effect due to higher cursor blinking…
Sounds like Selection sort[1]. It was probably the first sorting algorithm I ever implemented. I don't know why bubble sort is usually taught first. Selection sort seems more obvious. Perhaps the implementation is…
Combined with IP source address spoofing, it would probably help greatly with DDoS amplification attacks while only saving up <50% packets for good users. If you care about time rather than packet count, you can send…
Interestingly, Firefox records all your visits to a particular page, not just the latest visit. You could've changed the history sort order to "first visit" so that the list doesn't change when you revisit the page but…
