The Nintendo Switch (which runs Linux) was a favorite of cheaters after jailbreaks came out.
If you're saying the Nintendo Switch system software is Linux-based, I don't think that's correct. It's a proprietary system based on a microkernel architecture.
There's something deeply satisfying about compiling a Win32 desktop application and knowing that single binary will run unmodified on essentially every Windows machine from XP onward, and look nearly identical doing it. High-DPI is the one real caveat, but even that's manageable with a manifest. I'm not sure any other platform-native API comes close to that combination of reach and consistency. Running them on other operating systems is really just a bonus.
stunnel is often easier to embed directly into client applications, whereas WireGuard is better suited as a system-level VPN.
That's a fair criticism which I'm surprised the parent didn't point out.
I reckon hackers get a thrill out of doing the inputs themselves. They seem to be able to disregard the fact they've got an unfair advantage, pretending that they are still achieving something by their acts.
Where vision based AI will start running riot is in games like Runescape where macroing is a huge problem. I expect it will become undetectable and therefore unbannable.
Do you have any evidence of this, or is it an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory which should be afforded no weight?
There was a federal civil rights investigation into the officer's conduct. There was also an unsuccessful attempt to indict him before a grand jury. The shooting was reported on the front page of the New York Times on Aug. 12 2014. I don't think this example helps you.
Apple could have implemented this a long time ago but decided not to implement Bluetooth file sharing.
The United States frequently asserts extraterritorial jurisdiction. They were chasing Assange even when he hadn't stepped foot in their country.
A neighbourhood bully could do far worse things to a cat that involves little to no technology. One of many reasons why my cat stays inside.
You're describing hypocrisy.
I'm not sure that's irony. Just an plain error on my part, which you're right to point out. Piracy is also a pejorative label for copyright infringement.
"Stealing" isn't an apt term here. Stealing a thing permanently deprives the owner of the thing. What you're describing is copyright infringement, not stealing.
In this context, stealing is often used as a pejorative term to make piracy sound worse than it is. Except for mass distribution, piracy is often regarded as a civil wrong, and not a crime.
This is great. But my concerns about Cloudflare's power remain. Today it's blocking AI crawlers, tomorrow will it be blocking all browsers that fail hardware-attestation checks?
The US has no business attempting to enforce domestic law on foreign leaders present in the country under diplomatic immunity.
I think Source Depot is a proprietary fork with a lot of Microsoft-stuff added in.
It's entirely plausible that a long-term engineer at Microsoft wouldn't have have used git. I'm sure a considerable number of software engineers don't program as a hobby.
I'm surprised Troy Hunt hasn't defensively registered this. Compare https://troyhuntsucks.com/
For those who would prefer to stay a little more under the radar, you can hide results from a search of your email appearing on this service.
Spot on, although I'm not sure US citizens are in a much better position.
US government domains seem a little over the place. I'm surprised by the number of courts and counties that have random .org and .com domains. In Australia, it follows a pretty strict structure: Federal: entity.gov.au State: entity.wa.gov.au (example for State of Western Australia) Local: entity.stirling.wa.gov.au (example for a local government in Western Australia),
So, for example, the Federal Court is fedcourt.gov.au as it's federal.
Strange how the US has such a mishmash.
It's unlikely people running applications on an operating system that stopped publishing updates over 20 years ago care very much about that.
Why would I lose access to my Fastmail account? That risk is a remote one. I have 2FA, they take backups and provide support, and they are a reliable company (at least, not a one-person operation).
I think you're right. But I also do not think Purelymail falls in the same camp that Fastmail or Office 365 do, so far as expectations of reliability and business continuity are concerned.
The broader question of whether it is appropriate to independently back up your own data in large scale cloud services need not be answered. It is simply sufficient to recognise the risks are far greater when dealing with a one man operation.
This is such a remote possibility, at least with Fastmail, that I do not consider it reasonable to implement my own backup solution. If they are going to shut down, it isn't going to occur imminently and without any warning.
It's an easy statement to make: "just take a backup". But that requires me to dedicate time to implementing a secure and automated solution (and of course, routinely testing restoring it). I'm not doing that, because I pay the service to do that for me. If I'm going to that effort, I may as well self-host.
I don't agree with you. A key reason to host your email with a reliable cloud storage provider is to have backups handled for you. Fastmail is particularly good in that respect, since it takes periodic backups for you, allowing deleted items to be accessed.
To put things in perspective, I dare say that many large commercial organisations who rely on Office 365 are not backing up emails locally. They do likely have fancy retention holds preventing nefarious actors who compromise access to the account nuking things. I think Fastmail's backup is limited to 7 days. Outside that is a risk; it's one I'll take.
Maybe we have different perceptions of risk. But I think one can reasonably take the view it is unnecessary to have an independent copy in this scenario.
An interesting service, and very competitively priced. But for me, my email is fairly mission-critical. It's not something I'm prepared to endow in a one-man shop. I don't mean to offend, but it looks like something that might be used as something of a novelty. Were I to use it, I'd be backing up my email locally.
The solution is a commutation, not a pardon.
Which desktop environment did you select? I run Debian 12 bookworm with the Gnome desktop environment. But I suspect KDE or MATE may be more appealing to Windows converts.
But even with Apple, I can't sync stuff between my personal and work computer because they use different Apple IDs
You can't save your personal passkeys on your work phone and vice versa, but when logging in to a service on one device, you should be able use a passkey from the other device via Bluetooth by scanning a QR code.
