The title was “original Xbox aka cat warmer” when the “pedantic” comments were made.

Huh, I didn’t know about this option. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

My ingress firewall blocks the cert renewal challenge requests because they always come from countries that I blanket block, which requires me to keep an eye on it and disable blocking on certain countries to allow the renewals to happen, then re-enable blocking… Let’s Encrypt (somewhat understandably) doesn’t publish the list of IPs that they will use for the challenge requests, so I’m not sure if there’s a better solution. Anyone dealt with this?

If you create little solar-powered micro computers and toss them onto the roof of a bunch of random businesses with public Wi-Fi, then run them as exit nodes then you could bounce your connection around through a random set.

I didn’t come up with this, I think it was a plot point in some novel I read.

Twitter is hot garbage, that’s only gotten worse since Elon took over, but this is really just a problem with government agencies/departments using social media websites as primary avenues of delivering information.

If you’re talking about Marvel Rivals, then it’s not made by a “Western developer”, but NetEase, a Chinese studio…

The title is a bit weird. On my first reading it makes it sound like two different people can have indistinguishable fingerprints. But after reading/skimming the article+paper, it seems like what they’ve actually done is been able to correlate fingerprints from different fingers on the same person.

So the title makes it sound like they’ve weakened the basis of fingerprinting as forensic evidence, when in fact they’ve developed a way to link the different fingerprints from the same criminal so that additional cases could be solved.

e.g. if a criminal only left a thumb print at one crime scene and an index finger print at another, this posed a problem for investigators because they couldn’t link them to the same person, but this “AI” approach can link those two different prints to the same person.

This is really weird phrasing that pretends that Israel has no responsibility for their actions.

They chose to do this, they are responsible for what they’ve done.

Clearly they mean that they want the growth to be “sustainable”, not the company…

From the article:

The bad news is that the 6 GHz wireless spectrum uses shorter wavelengths. Short wavelengths are great for fast data transfers at close range, So, they’re great for connecting to your Wi-Fi 7-enabled HDTV a few feet away from your router

With a range that short, you’re not going to be doing much roaming around. It obviously has some use cases, but unless you need to be streaming data it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

The example we are discussing in this thread is transferring data off of a high res/high performance camera. For many situations this can be done after filming is completed, in which case a cord still makes a lot more sense. Hence my joke.

For live broadcasting it could be useful, but the range still seems quite limiting.

And the external wireless data transfer pack can be connected to the camera by a long thin piece of metal. Maybe we could call it a “cord”. And why stop there, it could be disconnected from the camera when you’re not transferring data.

This phrasing

offsetting everything else your kidneys are filtering

sounds like a negative thing, at least how I’m reading it.

I know drinking too much water is bad, but was under the impression that drinking a lot of water is generally better for you.

Which, unfortunately, is far too often. In my recent experience…

Why is this “news”?

Just don’t go on Xitter and you won’t have these “problems”…

My only problem with Oppenheimer is that they should have issued earplugs upon entering the theater. Shit hurt my ears.

Like, I get that bombs are loud, but I don’t need to actually feel pain and probably damage my hearing to get the picture.

It would be awesome if someone had been querying it with the same prompt periodically (every day or something), to compare how responses have changed over time.

I guess the best time to have done this would have been when it first released, but perhaps the second best time is now…

Exiting with a cool ~$9m. Not too shabby.

And since he’s been there since before the IPO, he’s probably done pretty well for himself, regardless.

Most of my personal communication goes through Signal, but I still get a ton of SMS messages.

• 25% spam
• 40% scams
• 30% one time passwords for shitty sites/apps that don’t support better 2FA options
• 5% iPhone users who refuse to install Signal

Real useful stuff…

Hey, if it makes you feel any better, Netflix started blocking me from sharing an account with my parents, and we cancelled the account and didn’t make any new ones.

Although, if they still had disc deliveries, my parents would probably have kept the account.
