News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Noturos

I did the same in California and graduated with a CS last year from Cal State East Bay. I think the grand total for my degree was about $25,000.

It's totally doable to end up debt free with a part time job while living at home. Or easily payable after graduation.

I knew it had to be TheFatRat. Such good music.
With the rise in gas prices this could be an issue on a traditional combustion vehicle. But outside of pranks and demos of potential issues for other products that use similar simple protocols I don’t really see how this can be useful on an EV.

But sometimes these sorts of things have a larger impact than it seems at first. Looking forward to future stories of how teen hacker activists use this security flaw to take down “the man”.

Using the Return Youtube Dislike extension tells me that it is sitting at 12k dislikes to the 11k likes.
I used to work as a certified apple tech. Turning off find my iPhone is standard procedure for every repair. But techs are never supposed to ask for your passcode. Most diagnostics can be performed outside the OS, and those that can't are supposed to be performed in front of the client.

I appreciate it, but I'm currently living in central Asia as part of an internship. Shipping here is very not economical

Id like a pinephone or a framework laptop to experiment and learn with. But with the way things are right now for me, I'd settle for a raspberry pi.

I agree with all that, the issue for me is when I simply what to peruse info and am forced to join their community. An annoying case for me was a game dev that only posted parch notes in their discord as opposed to a dev blog or something.

I think for me a lot of the pains would be solved if discord allowed a guest mode to temporarily view a server without the (admittedly small) hassle of having to leave the server

Count me in! I’ve got a bank account we can use to funnel the money

I believe steam got rid of that feature some time ago to combat those grey market resellers.

Now people set up ways where the game is “gifted” to an email address where you copy the claim url and send that to the purchaser instead of a key.

Yeah looking over the site I guess I understand why the discord was linked instead. They may or may not have killer ideas/tech, but the website fails to explain how it’s much different than the flash game sites of yesterday.

Edit: So I was planning on adding an edit with my thoughts after viewing the correct website, but my points mostly still stand and now I’m confused because both sites are like 70% the same..

If you’re serious about your project, you should set up a website or something outside a discord server. I hate cluttering my discord with all these projects and games that insist you join their discord to “learn more”
Well that makes my switch specialized Bluetooth adapters useless, but that's not really a complaint
