Re:LG to ban residential proxies from smart TV apps on Thursday July 23, 2026 @05:53AM (#49019126)
Nope, still malware. Arguing that people can technically read the TOS is (maliciously?) ignoring the social contract that most of us live by (i.e. don't trick people and screw them).
I hate it.

It would appear that you know wrong.
That's really not appropriate for the topic at hand. And what happens when the technology improves and the 1 kW ~= 3.65 kW relation changes?
Shows up on the Pixel 7 as well.

A pretty cool video on seL4 where they give the red team root access on a Linux VM running inside of seL4, which controls a helicopter.

>is that even it's design purpose?

It is not. The closest thing you'll get to it that has the features you mention, is Qubes OS [0].

When it comes to the L4 family, Google's adoption of seL4 [1] might be interesting to you, and possibly L4Re [2] [3], which is open source (not their tooling, though) with commercial support.

Edit: there's a bunch more open source activity in this field, but I'm not familiar with it.

Why is there a question mark in the title on HN? It is not a question, and the source does not contain a question mark.
Wish there was a phone where the camera on LineageOS is as good as the stock. On my Samsung Galaxy S7 using the camera on non-stock in painful (takes seconds to focus, when it focuses at all).
Hi,

Would you mind telling me what immunotherapy you get, specifically for cats? I'm currently on Grazax for grasses etc. I would love to be able to get a cat, but I am quite allergic and get flu-like symptoms after a while. (Also, my blood tests don't show that I'm allergic to cats, so that complicates things).

Having seen the AI up scaled versions of DS9, I would be surprised if that ends up being something I want to watch. I definitely don't see the point of changing the aspect ratio.
He already has ;)
Are there datasheets and/or design guides for the bricks you linked to?

Re:git-appraise – Distributed Code Review for Git on Friday August 11, 2023 @03:52AM (#37086195)
I tried https://github.com/google/git-appraise-web, with a review made only locally, not pushed to the remote, but it doesn't seem to work. Did I miss something? I went up to accepting the request, so the command line is working, but the web GUI - at each step - only shows a closed request [0], and clicking on it gives an empty page.

Your dictionary definition / denotation is not the connotation "novel" has in research.
Thanks. It does not look like I can get Amcor/Bemis products in the Netherlands. I was hoping to take the guesswork out of it and avoid buying something crappy. If anyone around here could offer a suggestion, I would appreciate it.
