Really, as an East Asian language user the rest of the comments here make me want to scream.

> They did this to micro sd cards on the first switch. What do you mean? From what I know it was bog-standard microSD(HC/XC) with the maximum supported speed being UHS-I with nothing proprietary.

There is an official way to completely disable and remove Computrace (which I did on my T480), but I don't remember anything that allowed removing ME.

Qt 5.15 at this point has been out for 4 years, already out of "normal" commercial LTS and will reach the end of extended commercial LTS next year. They don't have any incentive to do this kind of change.

I do this all the time. Every once in a while, navigating with the keyboard in Explorer will cause the window thread to hang up in a busy loop and I have to kill it. I have no idea if this is an Explorer bug or caused by other stuff.

How does this compare to ANGLE or the MetalANGLE fork, assuming I have some renderer code that already works on both OpenGL 3.2 core profile and OpenGL ES 3.0? (We are already using ANGLE on Windows with the D3D11 backend and might consider

Railway is a different problem space than road vehicles. Trains run on fixed tracks, has long braking distance, are much heavier, and accidents can be much more devastating. While self-driving cars may use cameras, lidar and radar for detec

I would rather have my program hard crash on unexpected null than to have it silently ignore potential logic errors. I have never used a language with nil punning, but to me Option<T> still feels to be the best approach.

I am failing to see (1). It seems when you drop a file into the help viewer window, it is handled by the help viewer itself. You can try it with a random file. It either displays the file inside the help viewer as an HTML file, or a Interne

The PoC video showed that the current user isn't in the "Administrator" group (though there is another user "zeroday" in there), which makes it look like not a simple UAC bypass. Or perhaps I misunderstood something

It seems that 7-zip opens the .chm help file using the HtmlHelp [1] WinAPI call. This API call does not even seem to run `hh.exe`. How does this privilege escalation actually work? [1]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/

May I tempt you to file a bug report on bugs.kde.org? I'm not sure if the devs even know about this bug, let alone fixing it. Edit: Ah nevermind, I think I found the relevant report.

Yes in theory, but in practice some Japanese fonts use the yen sign glyph for U+005C, the most common ones being those that come with Windows.

Isn't variable sized array non-standard in C++? Variable sized array is kind of a special thing anyway so I wouldn't be surprised if some compilers do something special with it. Yes, the term "automatic storage" is more

I've heard that one. I thought it mostly affects refrigerants, but I didn't notice that FM200 is also an HFC. There are other fire suppression gasses with a low global warming potential, which probably can still be used in the fut
