You could try Nuitka [1], but I don't have enough experience with it to say if it's any less brittle than PyInstaller. [1]: https://nuitka.net/

As someone with ADHD, being able to have an assistant with perfect memory that I can ask extremely vague questions to about things I'm pretty sure I did some time between last week and 5 years ago sounds amazing . I'm skeptical

It also usually only gets one release per upstream major version (and sometimes not even that), meaning a lot of Chromium security fixes can take several weeks to show up in a Thorium release. I appreciate the author's effort, but it&

They started deleting repos a couple of minutes ago. I checked a lot of links and they were in the Internet Archive. I'm sure there are plenty of forks of the main repo.

FWIW, this works for me with Python 3.12 from Homebrew, but not Python 3.12 from python.org. _sqlite3.cpython-312-darwin.so in Homebrew's Python appears to dynamically link /opt/homebrew/opt/sqlite/lib/li

Genshin Impact is (potentially) an interesting case - the iOS version has supported game controllers for almost 3 years now, but there's been no hint of support coming for Android. There's definitely some suspicion in the Genshin

I tried AoC for the first time last year, and that was pretty much my experience. A week or so of easy problems, then 1 or 2 that were still pretty straightforward but a bit more tedious, then 1 that was a lot more work because you were sup

It's a nice quality of life improvement. Most other languages I've used with some form of string interpolation allow quotes in nested expressions to be the same as the quotes on the top-level string, and this has IMO been a weird

I unfortunately can't find references at the moment, but I've heard that some/most of this is done with nVidia Shield TV boxes which have the same Tegra X1 security flaws used to exploit the early Nintendo Switches.

The authors of the default filter lists definitely try and block these - the biggest problems seem to be YouTube changing things faster than the default filter lists normally auto-update, or other filters/extensions conflicting. Ref:

If you enjoy talking about parallel universes, I highly, highly recommend watching the SM64 1-Key speedrun [1] and then Bismuth's explainer [2]. It's a truly amazing technical achievement based in large part in pannenkoek2012&#x27

As well as roughly another $5k/month on Liberapay: https://liberapay.com/Infosec.exchange/ I'm really curious as to what the current operating costs are.

Probably because it's based entirely on (non-black-box) reverse-engineered Switch binaries, and is therefore very possibly a derivative work of Nintendo's copyrighted code.

Hell, the original R4 managed it with 2006 hardware. It's conceivable you could do the same thing today with an RP2040. EDIT: I found a recent GBATemp thread where some research into flashcart design is going on. Maybe something will c

It pretty much has to be either a service mode or a developer back door. I'd love to know for sure. Maybe a leak some day will satisfy my curiosity.

If you don't mind spending around $10 USD, hacking an updated 3DS is simple if you get an ntrboot-compatible flashcart [1] and a small magnet. At the moment, Ace3DS X flashcarts are available on AliExpress and work well. If the supply

nVidia's DLSS works somewhat like that: the game engine generates a low-res/noisy/low framerate image, and the GPU refines it with an ML model.

With social media influencers, you don't even have to worry much about the deepfakes glitching - the usage of filters is rampant enough that glitches have been completely normalized.
