Sure (I already worked with lidars before they were in phones ;-)), I had just understood that the proposal was to just not sign the images coming from a flat surface like a screen, which of course can have unintended effects.

What if the camera doesn't give you an original but just a signed image?

And then? What if the flat surface is a wall showing cracks and it's the photo that should have been signed? Maybe it should include depth info in the image instead.

I still think to Hayes AT commands almost every time I see an article about the AT protocol, thinking "who is still using analog phone modems"?

So nice to see such projects! Thank you for doing that.

> It's okay to consider the firmware part of the "bare metal", IMHO. On a PC I would think so. Using UEFI is not much less bare metal as using BIOS calls, at least. OTOH on an embedded device it would already sound so much

Thanks, I didn't think about the possibility it might have been something else as Latin...

comment by him on a podcast [1]: "Started doing the 3-line comments just for visual appeal, became an iconic part of Laravel over time. And then I just kept rolling with it, and it became like a a [sic] Laravel meme of sorts." [1]

The Latin seems quite wrong... e.g. "segmentum pacificus" should actually be "segmentum pacificum" [1] to keep genders correct. Was it the same in the books (which I don't know)? [1] see Latin dictionary: https:&#x

Not sure why the Windows version would be much bigger than the bare metal one. If you use native code, the code size overhead from using native GDI calls to draw the window is almost zero. Didn't check if the Windows version uses some

Great, nice project! In the time of Electron bloat, it's really refreshing to see bare-metal UEFI stuff.

I was thinking that someone managed to put an ELF header in an SQLite file while keeping it compatible with SQLite... but no, "just" a new binary format. Very interesting nevertheless!

It's interesting, but it sounds more like a political/societal theory rather than actual events or state of the society. It would be much more interesting and largely shareable if it contained more documented facts rather than gen

In some places it always was better (it's OpenStreetMap data) e.g. in the Puna de Atacama desert in Argentina/Chile, Google Maps is years behind in therms of map precision. Lots of roads are missing from Google Maps. Plus, Organic

Why do you even need GA? (not sure if it's bot friendly btw) One could just run a local traffic analysis and feed that back into the bot

It all depends on how you define malware. If malware is software doing something that is contrary to the user's interests, then for many users it is indeed malware.

Looks like this only works on smartphones? Well... no thanks.

Code 128 supports some ISO-8859-1 indeed, but it requires switching between encodings (there are 3 of them), and couldn't work with 128B (I guess the one used by the font, as it supports ASCII). See the table on Wikipedia: https:&#x2F

I think that the start of the article is at least a bit exaggerated: SSH is yet another example of an ancient technology that is still in wide use today. Ancient technology? If it was telnet or FTP... But SSH is much younger than,

On which OS? On Windows, with the Swiss German layout AltGr+m does nothing. Probably the same on US ones.
26.
by ale42 3mo ago
Might be AltGr-m on Linux (didn't try).

by ale42 3mo ago
That's what I do, actually, although I use Alt+230 because I remember the code from CP437.

The problem is that µ is usually hard to type (unless you have a Greek keyboard or a custom keyboard mapping). This said, although I tolerate stuff like "47 uF" in electronic schematics (also because legacy software didn't ev

Interesting. The header size seems big for low-resources embedded systems (e.g. with only 256 bytes of EEPROM). I'd rather use a file identifier (e.g. a 8-bit number) to identify what a file is doing instead of arbitrary names.

How did he get the videos out of the cameras that were seized if the recording was also not uploaded? Can Nest cameras upload/stream to private servers? (never had one so I have no idea)
