But posting the mitigation helps guide attackers on how to exploit the vulnerability, and do so sooner.
After how long? I.e. did you get a few good years with it?
Re:Do dentists know what they're doing? on Thursday October 15, 2026 @12:14AM (#50099062)
Reviews are tricky too:

1st dentist says you're fine. 2nd dentist finds 12 cavities.

1st dentist's review says he missed 12 cavities. 1 star. I see this the most.

2nd dentist's review says he's finding false cavities. 1 star.

Or add a "probability of injury or death" attribute for more granularity.
Start a few dozen agents, and take a long lunch, right? No?

Play the lottery! I got -1350 spamming 2, -400 spamming 1. Feeling unlucky.

Story from 2017, but the iPhone event: https://www.engadget.com/2017-09-14-apple-explains-face-id-f...

> Face ID ... didn't quite work as he expected. "Your passcode is required to enable Face ID" popped up, eliciting a nervous chuckle out of Craig and forcing him to switch to the spare demo phone

Assuming they don't swap it out every night/week.

Speaking of which, when will it be in the stores to play with?

True, I remember years ago, the presenter was doing a demo and ran into a problem. He quickly transitioned to another identical device nearby, and continued almost seamlessly. Didn't seem like much of an issue. Although that might have been WWDC, which is a different crowd.
CarPlay Ultra adds information such as speed, fuel/charge level, climate control, and tire pressure. Hard to imagine legal issues around that.

Although I could imagine the car manufacturers wanting to get revenue from refueling ads.

Microsoft Edge does this too, iirc, for "Startup Boost".

I grew up believing that capitalism somehow separates business from government, with each operating independently. Same with separation of church and state. Not sure what to think of things now.
op forgot to add "/hyperbole"
I think they tried that, and people hacked around it:

"I'll let you guys introduce yourselves..."
In that case, try the "Blue Cube" method, like the old Onizuka Air Force Station near Moffet Field.

I'm surprised they haven't tried painting them "Go Away Green", vs stark off-white monoliths.

> The list includes a school district near Syracuse, a casino's tribal police force in Connecticut, the Fort Worth, Texas police department 1,600 miles away, and Home Depot Corporation, a private company

Can any private corporation request/buy access? Or is Home Depot special?

> Either they have Blackwell

From the article:

A person familiar with Moonshot’s procurement strategy confirmed that the company does indeed have a channel for accessing Blackwell processors via Southeast Asia. They didn’t specify whether this was a rental channel...

I like the "bubbling" dots effect that occurs in an airplane when making a turn. Anyone know the reason?

I guess they're moving in the opposite direction of the turn to force the perception of turning.

Effective Sept 1
I wonder if an early built-in string class would have been 8-bit or 16-bit? Would have been hard to stomach 16-bit storage and performance.
Re:My two-part desk setup on Saturday May 23, 2026 @03:13PM (#48250420)
Yep, even more-so with a corner desk (L-shaped). Although there are times my work involves both papers and computer, and the quick swivel of a corner desk is great.

At my job, multiple people have vibe-coded bug-triage utilities. They're great for grouping duplicates.

But now we need an AI tool to consolidate the triage utilities.

Is it a hardware fix?

Or a software fix, but can't be done OTA?

Re:Backblaze has stopped backing up your data on Tuesday April 14, 2026 @07:16AM (#47764077)
Parent is using "backuped" to mean "likely in some cloud (latest version)". And that may explain why BB excludes .git folders.

You are using it to mean "maintaining full version history", I believe? Another important consideration.
