It does support "modern gaming" yes, but like the sibling comment mentions, at least Riot's anti-cheat demands Windows 10 22H2 (the last iteration of Win10) as a minimum. There are a few somewhat convoluted workarounds floating around that people use. Also Adobe CS seems to require Win10 22H2.

My theory is that Le Roux was just financing the (two?) TrueCrypt developers.

I have a "quotes.txt" from slashdot days with some MS jabs in it:

> Last week, I left my 2 XP CDs on my dashboard in plain view. Someone broke into my car and left 2 more.

> The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

> A Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer is to computing what a McDonalds Certified Food Specialist is to fine cuisine

Juvenile some might say, but they still makes me giggle.

> (But also, my conspiratorially-inclined mind is quite entertained by the thought of some sort of parallel construction or tip from a TLA.)

For sure you were/are not alone in this thinking. How fast the whole thing was exposed in decent enough details was... surprising.

It's not later than 2001 since the dude closed the site on "Sunday 25th November 2001 ". I used to frequent it all the time back in 2000~2001 since it was the only SP review site still being updated. He was notorously grumpy.

Here's what he posted when shutting down the site:

    Site closed.
    This site is now closed. This is because I haven't enjoyed reviewing at the site
    for about 9 months, and because I am no longer interested in supporting the Quake
    mapping scene. My email address is also closed. The current content will remain
    here as an archive.

I recall reading about TCP/IP-powered Internet multiplayer DOS Quake in TECHINFO.TXT that shipped with the retail version of the game, and I quote:

  Beame & Whiteside TCP/IP
  ------------------------
  
  This is the only DOS TCP/IP stack supported in the test release.
  It is not shareware...it's what we use on our network (in case you
  were wondering why this particular stack).  This has been "tested"
  extensively over ethernet and you should encounter no problems
  with it.  Their SLIP and PPP have not been tested.  When connecting
  to a server using TCP/IP (UDP actually), you specifiy it's "dot notation"
  address (like 123.45.67.89).  You only need to specify the unique portion
  of the adress.  For example, if your IP address is 123.45.12.34
  and the server's is 123.45.56.78, you could use "connect 56.78".

I looked around a little and sure enough, a copy of the software was avaiable in a subdirectory of idgames(2?) at ftp.cdrom.com. I knew nothing about TCP/IP networking at the time, so it was a struggle to get it all working, and in the end, the latency and overall performance was miserable and totally not worth it. Playing NetQuake with WinQuake was a much more appropriate scenario.

Yes, Doom with multi-monitors! There's (at least) one video on Youtube showing it in action with 3 monitors plus a fourth one with the map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3NQQ7bPf6U#t=1798.333333

It's a functionality of banking apps. Yes, transfers are done either via a QR code or via one or more "Pix Keys", that the person/bussiness authorizes in their baking app. These keys can be the brazilian equivalent of your SSN, a cell phone number, an e-mail address or a randomly generated UUID-formated one.

Why is this flagged but the thread titled "Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris" with 1041 comments isn't? What am I missing?

> Anyone remembering this Russian guy arrested straight from plane when he landed in USA going to make a talk to defcon ?

I had to look it up, but it's Dmitry Sklyarov [1], who worked for the russian-based ElcomSoft, which was known for selling all sorts of DRM cracking programs.

Maybe it's Notch. It'd make sense to me.

Jeffry Picower estate settled for a US$7.2 billion sum circa 2010 according to Wikipedia. This Picower character seems to have had a shady fortune history, he also was found dead at his swimming pool around 2009.

Uh, as far as I recall, the 6000 never reached retail shelves.

> "his Kung Fu is strong."

Was this a reference to Mitnick's phone calls to Tsutomo?

Was already familiar with the story from her YT video[1] about it, which goes into way more details and less conference fluff. But the real gem in this talk seems to be the Q&A that starts at around the 28m mark.

Reminder that Denuvo is not an anti-cheat, it's DRM.

I'm on Windows as well. Just get rid of the 'best' argument for '--ytdl-format'. Also, 'bestaudio' is mostly only known as a keyword for Youtube videos.

Eric S. Raymond commented on that commit, congratulating wm4.

It's the reddit effect. As reddit's popularity keep increasing for the past 5 years or so, HN links posted on the platform get that much more attention. Specially true for indians, pakistanis and chinese.

> Sometimes all you need is a list of flags and a brief description of what they do [...]

$ mpv --list-<options|properties>

Pipe to a grep-like program for keywords.

> mpv --no-video --vo=null --ytdl-format='bestaudio/best' 'lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to'

With --ytdl-format='bestaudio' there's no need to disable the video track or use the null vo.

"Climate Change" was one of the topics discussed at "Rio Summit" in 92 [1].

I remember some ~20 years ago, only going thru their HOWTO was very revealing about the system innards and I remember having a blast. I never went trough a real LFS install because I lacked an extra box at the time, but it is something the lingered on the back of my head since.

"Do you agree with me or are you racist?"

The Veritasium youtube channel has a great video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRr1kaXKBsU

That was Cisco slogan.

videos with content-matched copyrighted audio have some sort of obfuscation in the js player, mostly to deter casual downloading.

If you mean Bernie Madoff, no.

I have facebook main site and its CDNs blocked in uBlock. Works good for me, but I only use PCs to browse the web, so no idea how to go about blocking it if one uses mobile devices at home. Possibly a DNS caching server like `unbound` can help?
