It’s strangely judgmental too.

> We have a video encoder and muxer for the Playdate, the little yellow console with a crank. It produces 1-bit, 400×240 video using delta coding and zlib compression. It is not important, but it is cool.

Are you familiar with the author?

The way they describe it as an issue with free accounts seems vague and misleading. Why would _any_ account have this broad of access? Why would free ones be uniquely insecure vs official ones?

This suggests a bad actor at any institution could do the same thing done here. No?

Federated logins appear to now be broken for the campus I’m affiliated with. So more action is needed.

I’m not surprised. Canvas kind of sucks. And their development is slow. And they are poor at communicating during mundane events.

“Step right up, We’re doing a new training run, and offering positive brand sentiment to the 1000 highest bidders.”

Do you automate your takeout so the DB is relatively fresh?

They would love to have full on eye tracking. So the next best thing is a cursor. (Even though I’d agreed with anyone who says it’s a poor signal.)

Data for the non creative work isn’t as easy to, uh, “obtain” from others without their consent.

Well, they could at least always say something like “…vaccine, but not like you are thinking. You, like billions of other people, have a misguided and frankly incomplete understanding of the word. …”

Does this include modification of online games where that is against the TOS of the game?

I’ve seen that and the FB one in recent months.

I just assumed someone was going through a database of known FB accounts and triggering the reset looking for people who accept.

It is strange that they appear to be able to avoid being blocked for bulk/frequent requests though. Seems like a big flaw.

It's 10 mins since you posted this. And now this comment is the top result on Google search.

Can you elaborate?

His new videos have been fantastic.

Prolly not a lot.

Any builds out there yet for me to throw into Virtual Box?
