> So fuzzycanary also checks user agents

I wouldn't be so surprised if they often fake user agents to be honest. Sure, it 'll stop the "more honest" ones (but then, actual honest scrapers would respect robots.txt)

Cool idea though!

I got used to it after a few hours. M&K is probably the better experience overall, sure.

They're just talking about official support (i.e. support tickets). It'll probably still run elsewhere, they're just not promising to help you with bugs on other hardware & configurations. Entirely reasonable IMO.

I've read the article. The point I'm getting at is that a vuln report will be taken more seriously if you present yourself in a pleasant manner.

It's pretty clear that the app has its issues (especially wrt to false reports), that I'm not disputing.

It's pretty likely the guy blocked the author after seeing them link a blog post insulting his work, no?

Sure he should take the vulnerability report seriously, but it's pretty clear that bundling a report above the words "activism theater" isn't going to make someone want to read it.

Instead, just "hey man, you're on a vulnerable version of httpd" is likely going to be more effective.

Distributed compute is cool, but $320 for 13 tokens/s on a tiny input prompt, 4 bit quantization, and 3B active parameter model is very underwhelming

AI jammed into a browser really isn't going to make any Atlassian product any more pleasant to use

To be fair, it is still useful on this front; it's much faster than waiting for requests to fail and fallback to a backup yourself.

You still need another backup provider or two for cases like this though.

I'd strongly advise against free VPNs; they are a massive security and privacy risk.

Here's recent news about another free vpn that took screengrabs of users' sessions: https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/a-...

As the saying goes, if you're not paying for the product, the product is you.

I truly hate the F2P mobile gaming industry. Clone a quality (and reasonably priced) PC game, add dark patterns and microtransactions, then make money hand over fist by taking advantage of people like this.

FOMO marketing, gambling mechanics, and unrepresentative ads really need to get self-regulated by the app stores, otherwise it's going to become necessary to legislate this.

Let me guess, it involves giving a bunch of different LLMs the same inputs, and picking the best output?

I'm personally partial to increpare's bfxr (https://www.bfxr.net/)

You're not exactly going to be running many scans with a human corpse stuck in the MRI machine...

I bought a used kindle paperwhite for £15 last month, and spent about an hour to mod it (which really wasn't all that difficult; it just involved copying files).

I'd say that's pretty cheap.

I suspect the reason why there are not more new devices for the budget pricepoint is that the market is saturated. Unlike phones, there isn't really a compelling reason to upgrade regularly. My mother has used her kindle for years at this point, and probably will use it for years to come.

Solar irradiance has been declining for the past three decades...

Works until they demand your passwords and threaten to label you a terrorist if you don't

Yeah, that's pretty bad business practice.

I have a few fuji cameras, and sadly their webcam software doesn't work for me, but for a cheap fix I bought a low-cost (~$10) HDMI USB capture card on AliExpress, and it works wonders.

Basically it handles downloading & configuration of games from some non-Steam providers (e.g. GOG, Epic), and adds them to Steam, so you can launch them like they are Steam games.

It's not quite as polished, but it works.

I 100% agree, I bought one to be able to play my library while my wife watches dramas on the TV, and I've been shocked as to how high the compatibility rate is these days.

Also, while the competing handhelds are often more powerful, the Deck's trackpads really are a game changer for some games (like Rimworld)

Imagine your job being a "tech reviewer" and not being able to fathom the clear (albeit comparatively small) market for a product like this

The one by Ben Eater?

Graffiti is illegal because it involves damaging property, not because of its textual / visual content...

It's more likely to cover the organizers legally.

I imagine no-one wants to be on the receiving end of "You are accused of actively encouraging Iranian / Russian / <insert other sanctioned state here> hackers to identify exploitable security vulnerabilities in appliances owned and operated by Americans; how do you plead?"

Even with this obfuscation, it is still more fair to its creators than most other platforms. It's just not quite the co-op structure their marketing makes it out to be, which is indeed disingenuous (IMO).

Same here; at this point I'll probably only upgrade when CAMM2 becomes more widespread

> AMD was (is) tinkering with a translation layer for CUDA

From what I understand, they dropped the contract with the engineer who was working on it.

Fortunately, as part of the contract, said engineer stipulated that the project would become open source, so now it is, and is still being maintained by that engineer.

> Raspberry Pi pulled a Henry Ford and boldly went with just one microcontroller... In return, Raspberry Pi ensured that everyone on the planet works with the same part. Compared to more traditional wide lineups, there is a disproportionate number of StackExchange questions, blog posts (including this one), experience, Github issues, libraries, and tools for the RP2040.

I'm not personally convinced. Most of the ESP32 series is cross-compatible (at least for the shared pinout counts).

I'd argue the brand recognition and marketing to hobbyists is more likely what brought the "community" around the RP2040.

Members of Congress & govt employees who can perform insider trading before the announcement with seemingly no repercussions.
