Is this just his speculation? Or is there evidence for it?

Two questions: 1. How does the kernel detect the conflict? > you can certainly boot with acpi=off if you want to and no ACPI code will be executed at runtime 2. How does the kernel prevent the firmware from running anything?

Given the replacement author and email seem like a random person rather than an employee, I wonder if whomever did this thought they had found the "real" author and that somehow the others were incorrect? It's confusing, I do

I'm not sure winning in the midterms will be a net positive for Democrats (barring an infeasible supermajority). Even if they stop everything Republicans want to do (which they won't even get close to), that's just going to b

Love this, that sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing!

I think I disagree. I just (re-)discovered a couple of my cables don't have data lines a few hours ago, prompted by the earlier discussion. My initial instinct was also to throw them away like you said. But then I realized they're

Whoops, thank, I can't read - I misread label maker as label marker!

Definitely not winning at life with this lol, it's actually frustrating because the cables are so similar. One has a higher speed, one has a higher power, one is shorter, one is longer, one is more flexible, one has a display showing

What marker do you use to mark them? Is the ink durable and easy to read?

by dataflow 6d ago
That sounds hard. Is a USB-A-to-C cable in the A group or C group or neither? What about the inverse? What about cables that only do data but can't transmit enough power? What about cables that are slow but high power? What about thick

I suspect the fundamental problem here is it's hard (if not impossible) to determine if someone who tried the winning approach deserves the credit for the discovery, because there's always the chance that they could've done s

Is blockchain going to finally be the solution to something? I'm only half joking. Should researchers perhaps put hashes of their attempts on a public blockchain tied to their own public keys, verify their claims asynchronously, and th

Wouldn't using a neighbor's Wi-Fi without anyone's permission or instruction violate CFAA or some other law? Also, wouldn't this be trivial to test by just setting up your own network and seeing if the TV connects?

It sounds insultingly low, yeah. I'm trying to imagine why they would pay so little. The only two reasons I can think of are either (a) they were already aware of it and fixing it, and therefore the report didn't really change muc

Neither I nor you should appreciate spreading unsubstantiated rumors that directly attack the public servants neither of us personally know. If it bothers you that I'm defending them, then perhaps don't launch your attacks on them

I don't understand, sorry. How does declaring an optional dependency in a toml file solve the problem of accessing the symbol in your code? Also, you need something that works for simple one-file scripts, not just a whole package or pr
