In the given scenario though it's less likely such a user would be using a rooted or replacement OS. It's an involved process to do this in the first place. Ie: the much larger percent of users affected by this news would already

Pirating doesn't help sustain the very thing being pirated, if you want a tangible rather than moralistic reason. 4K (Ultra HD) Blu-Ray is likely the last physical home video media generation to be produced. Disney has pulled physical

> I also found out that my friend's company got charged $2,000 per character. WTF. Is there more context to this? I can't see anything preceding it that explains what it's referencing.

In the longer JEDEC overview document[1] it explains that in the ideal 'direct' testing method retention testing is only performed after the endurance testing. Which is only after the drive has had its max spec'd TBW written

Just on the pervasive passive monitoring aspect, I think an under-discussed aspect of the time frame covered in the material of Snowden's leaks is that sites/services by and large wasn't using encrypted protocols (HTTPS). So

And this W11 version of Notepad takes longer to open than Sublime Text and about equal to Firefox. On NVMe. It used to be instant , which is something you really notice the difference with when it changes.

I recall one of their earlier composites of the sun which was comprised of 90k (!) images and feel that's an acceptable approach to represent the detail and scope desired, yet with this skydiver shot I feel differently in that there i

I wonder what the venn diagram of end users who disable Javascript and also block cookies by default looks like. As the former is already something users have to do very deliberately so I feel the likelihood of the latter among such users i

On the second minute I had the AI World Clocks site open the GPT-5 generated version displayed a perfect clock. Its clock before and every clock from it since has had very apparent issues though. If you could get a perfect clock several tim

On Windows at least VLC has had better alternatives for the past 20 years, both feature and UI wise. I had frame-stepping hotkeys back in the mid-00s with Korean video players. These days I use the currently maintained fork of MPC-HC which

That would be hundreds to check. While for the quoted users in the article all but one seems to have reused their password(s), suggesting fewer used overall so easier to check.

This is a massive PITA for any users who exclusively use unique passwords and various unique addresses, as it sounds like the source of the breach(es) is unknown (so hard to judge which accounts would be affected without using Troy's s

If one wants full control cookies could just be disabled by default at the browser level (which also blocks local storage). I do this and just whitelist sites that actually need it (very few). The issue is some sites won't display an

I think there are a few main contentions: - The requirement, unless I'm mistaken, would tie a real-world identity of the developer to an app, who may wish to keep that separate from a pseudonym they may normally release things with. -

Given the denoising is said to be aggressive enough to be noticeable on already compressed video I think criticism of it is fair. Just that it should be distinguished from something like Tiktok's 'beautifier' modifications, w

I hope this leads to having a native vertical taskbar, which has been absent in W11 despite being a taskbar feature dating back as early as Windows 98. Third-party tools have tried to reimplement it but it's either been by bastardizing
