Anecdata from two days ago, after installing a fresh Windows 10: after inserting the dongle, a definitely non-native (styled by Logitech) popup asks me whether I want to install their app. I decline. One reboot later, the app is available i

Your best bet would be to check which models are supported by Valetudo, which is a local-only firmware replacement: https://valetudo.cloud/ and https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo

The state might be comprised of people, but unless everybody is directly involved in the final decision process you'll always have (at least) a principal-agent problem between the people acting as political representatives and everybod

I was talking about the definition of theft and whether what you did in your example constituted it. If I did your taxes (as in: did all the calculations) and you took a picture of my results, copied the values, etc. no theft happened. If I

In terms of property theft: exactly. Which is why your tax advisor would insist on a contract with you that outlines compensation for services rendered, time and material, etc.

Give them a try without any of the expansions/DLC, if you want a "simpler"/leaner experience. One of the big complaints you'll see for every new iteration of Civ is how parts from the previous one are missing, which

As I understood it, it's less of a real problem and more of a perceived annoyance. People accelerate, let go of the pedal, realize that a deceleration sets in, accelerate again, etc. so their brake lights are flashing all the time (ins

I'm with you, and at least here in Germany this is already the law, though it is only required if your deceleration rate is greater or equal to 1.3m/s² (it is allowed starting at a rate of 0.7 m/s²). There are already voices

This article about software piracy in Italy in the 80s and 90s was linked here some time ago: https://genesistemple.com/a-swashbuckling-tale-of-italian-so... – seems to be very similar to your story in Portugal. I don'

I've only got superficial knowledge in this regard, so please take it with a grain of salt, but: the way I understand it is that PCIE has full direct memory access, so devices connected through it can use zero copy and similar techniqu

Honest question to somebody who seems to have a bit of knowledge about this in the real world: several (German, if relevant) providers default to a TTL of ~4 hours. Lovely if everything is more or less finally set up, but usually our first

Every single time I see the YouTube handle with the "8" in it linked/posted... There are a few videos of their previous homepage designs available on YouTube, it's an amusing window into the past. Right below the first o

Interestingly, at least one of the old apps (rif/Reddit is fun) still works through VPN for me even if the web UI blocks the same thread from exactly the same IP.

I've implemented the bank account checking flow for a German client in a purely B2B setting, and this is essentially based on the PSD2 directive, which requires all/some/most (not entirely sure) banks to provide exactly this

A slight addendum from another German: we have the adjective "händeringend", which is the verbatim translation of "hand wringing-ly". It's usually not used in a negative, scheming connotation, though - if you look&#

They're likely taking about being able to query for additional data from the view layer. Rails makes this very easy since you often simply pass along query results to the view, which are "database connected" ActiveRecord inst

The custom element specification (section 4.13) deals mostly with the registration and usage details, but the general extensibility section earlier on covers the basic use case: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/in

Like I said: If you want to use the JS-based functionality, you obviously have to register it. Simply using any made-up element in your HTML and styling it via CSS just works ouf the box. See https://codepen.io/dkoch-org&#x2

Depends on what you're going to use them for. If you need the actual JS functionality web components can offer, then yes. Though at this point you're in JS land anyways and probably using some kind of web component library (or you

When you didn't know how this worked, CoffeScript's fat arrow functions became a life saver when attaching callbacks from inside some object you were writing that probably had an init() method to set up the handlers: &#x2F

In addition to this: ruby-like classes and "sane"/expected handling of this using fat arrow functions. I've worked with a few developers at the time that considered themselves pure backend/rails developers and di

Honest question, not intended to be disparaging: do you not see a difference between the various animations on [1], for example? To me, they are very apparent. [1] https://www.testufo.com/

To be fair, though, pretty much the entire (vocal) enthusiast PC gamer niche has universally panned the recent releases from Nvidia and is hoping and waiting for the next 5000 generation. If Nvidia had released a "good" and compet

Absolutely fair. As long as there are physical releases in the first place, that option will probably never vanish completely. Personally, I'm more "concerned" about the Indie/AA scene - when there's no physical rel

Increasingly, the situation for console games is the same as for PC games. So you're also only licensing the game, need to be online to at least authenticate or even always to play, etc. There probably still are games where you can jus
