Ninja Gaiden was so fraking hard! At some point I used an invincibility hack and still gave up at some point! But it was pretty cool. Played Halo 1 & 2, PGR a lot, JSRF was just awesome even though I never finished that either. Fable ju

It's built into the CPU, what did you expect them to do, burn it with a laser? .... well in hindsight that might've been a smart thing to do :o)

This sounds like all of you are living in Berlin, which is known as "failed state" to the rest of Germany. ;-) It varies form city to city, I live in one that I'd say is an exception on the positive side: Most clerks in the v

It's hypothetical. There is no difference between those two scenarios, we could also just assume the hacker pulled it out of their ass...

Sure, but this is a hypothetical scenario, focusing on the legal aspects.

What I always liked about HDMI is that it's basically backwards compatible all the way to DVI, just using passive adapters. I think that's the reason why HDMI dominates on laptops, where you're expected to move around and use

I've worked and developed on Linux, for Linux, for 10+ years, I've seen my fair share of panics, especially using the bleeding edge releases. Most (not all!) of them were my own making though. :>

You're directly contradicting your sibling comment. I guess I'll experiment with this in the coming days, although I'm a little worried tinkering too much will just completely lock me out of my account.

This is surprisingly non-shitty by Google. I must admit that I didn't know that before. Can you limit such a passcode to just IMAP/SMTP, or can it be used to log in to other parts of Google?

Not just that; I'd be OK with closed source firmware if I can just put it on an isolated network and be done with it, but from typical listings on Amazon et al you cannot even tell if the camera works without a mandatory cloud connecti

Obviously, if you get paid to implement this you don't want the cognitive dissonance of knowingly doing something bad, so I'm sure those folks have already laid out their justification for this technology. I wish Google could and

I do, and I keep having those tiring conversations, but it's really hard to get the point across in layman's terms. I have enough friends in tech who stick with Chrome out of convenience instead of just falling back on it in case

As a random data point, I registered a new domain about a month ago and didn't do more than add a simple landing page yet, and it is properly indexed by Google.

Well sure, in essence that's just a "works for me" thing. Also, no idea how much this is a regional/cultural thing, I exclusively use a German site for this. It doesn't seem to suffer fake ratings like Aamzon etc.,

I use recipe websites. When I want to try something new, I read a handful of recipes there, usually those with high user ratings. But what I really pay attention to is the writing style. If it's just a dry "do this then that then

If you don't have the time/patience to look for new music then I guess nothing will ever work for you. Otherwise, I'd join the bandcamp camp. :o)

That solves that one problem, but you still get the feedback only when you pressed it, you cannot feel where the button is without looking. I can blindly turn the AC on or off, adjust the fan speed, turn on the hazard lights and adjust the

Don't do simple rolling backups, use something with deduplication like borg backup or ZFS/btrfs if you want to do it at the FS level. The backup size should not increase by much more than the actual size of any new files, so if su

I still like the idea of having it tightly integrated with the OS. Just double-click the EXE and it works.
