I nicked myself a full PC upgrade in between pandemic and AI and couldn’t have been prouder about my timing. I was rocking a GTX 670 during the crypto craze just waiting for prices to normalise. Felt like I went from the stone age to the space age when I got my 7800xt.

My primary server though… That one was due for an upgrade this spring. It was my old gaming PC, so it has seen better days.

It likely wouldn’t have any but when a large company sues you as an individual it is more about the cost of engagement and the risks it involves.

Someone from my country created a browser extension that translated clickbait article titles to descriptive titles using LLM. He got sued for copyright infringement by the most clickbaity “news” outlet in Denmark, forcing him to shut down the extension.

Uber bought the biggest taxi company in Denmark and the only one operating in my city. There’s no way around them…

Backstory is that Uber was banned from the market due to their gig model (and lobbying from taxi companies), so they returned half a decade/decade later in the only way they could. Funny how other gig models like food delivery isn’t outlawed the same way.

Yeah, we didn’t have those… We had one guy with prior experience of working in SNow on our team, none on the implementers’ team. He called the chaos and boy was he right. For reference, it was a company with 1000 people which were supposed to get SNow since the parent company wanted it (in total 20k people IIRC across all subsidiaries). No one thought to think that an agile software house required quite a lot of changes to the SNow setup to fit in together with all the old-school waterfall people it was designed for.

I have. I quit after it was decided our department should migrate to it. Half a year later I heard everything is on fire and the SNow migration was paused indefinitely.

If you think that will blow your mind, wait until you hear about hand grenades!

It can likely untangle all the jumps an obfuscator makes with relative ease. After that it should be easier to decompile into something meaningful.

DRM is basically just layers of obfuscated code to hide the “trap” code paths that render the game inoperable if you don’t have a license. I truly hope LLM can provide some good in this area, DRM is a black mark on digital rights and ownership.

Way ahead of ya. Graphene is mostly working well. Some small issues like MitId not working due to Play Integrity but hopefully the UnifiedAttestation and focus on removing big tech dependence will solve that.

I saw that on an app about a year ago. I’ve never uninstalled an app that fast before.

E: Yeah, exact same message

What’s that smell in the air? Is it the smell of Schadenfreude?

I think the shrooms just kicked in.

That’s simply not true. The Decathlon HRM Band for example connects to virtually everything that can understand a generic HRM over BLE. And limited in what sense? It’s either sending a heart rate or not.

OpenTracks has integrations with several HR BLE trackers: https://codeberg.org/OpenTracksApp/OpenTracks/src/branch/main/README_TESTED_SENSORS.md

OpenTracks?

That’s what I have an entire laptop for. I call it the Dust Collector. It’s sole purpose is to collect dust and maybe once or twice a year be ready for a proctored exam. It’s not even allowed on my home network.

When I said that Wikipedia should take it seriously and rip off the bandaid as quick as possible when the DDoS’s started, a few didn’t believe me when I said there was no reason to trust the content anymore if archive[.]today decided malicious activity using their traffic was okay. The owner’s ehtics (or lack thereof) showed that nothing stopped them from maliciously altering the content either, making any reason to hang on to the archive site null and void.

To those people doubting my perspective: Called it.

The SSDs are definitely weirder than they are spinny but otherwise it depends. A 7200RPM weird spinny thing is for example more spinny than a 5400RPM but if you take 3 of the 5400RPM in a RAID, then the spinnines is aggregated, making it more spinny than a 7200RPM. But in doing so, you are multiplying the weirdiness, making it exponentially more weird than a single 7200RPM weird spinny thing. This has to do with how the weirdiness particles flow between the spinny things to make sure that you’ll always be able to recover the weirdiness of one of the spinny things from the other spinny things in case of an untimely demise.

• NAS: A weird spinny thing where you store your data. Both over the network.
• RAID: Multiple weird spinny things working together to recover the lost data if one of the weird spinny things dies.
• SSD: A weird spinny thing that doesn’t spin. Currently prohibitively expensive, so can be ignored.
• SMB: A language that computers use to share files from the weird spinny things or printers with each other.
• ZFS: A method that your computer uses to keep track of how and where your files are on the weird spinny things.
