I think the whole article is undermined by this paragraph: > We don't know what consciousness is. We don't know why we have it. We don't know why some animals have it and others don't. We don't know if it can be

Note that this menu item was not used to install Android apps, which is what people often mean by "sideloading", especially with all the discourse around Google's new developer verification requirements. This menu item was us

> You don't need to know how a plane/car/elevator works to know that it works when you use it. I'm sure the 737 MAX seemed to work just fine to Boeing's test pilots. Observing the external behavior of a system is

Is there a reason you wired MOSI and MISO together with a resistor instead of setting the SPI_SIO bit in the ESP32C6's SPI controller? The reference manual[1] says that bit enables "3-line half-duplex communication, where MOSI and

Surely Windows keeps the FVEK in RAM regardless of whether the TPM requires a PIN to initially obtain it. Otherwise, wouldn't you need to enter your PIN every time a block from the disk needs decrypting? Not to mention the performance

...at least, for the one Bose device I own. Other Bose Bluetooth devices use the same image format and can be updated by the same official update tool (which doesn't run on Linux or support downgrades, hence this one), so I'm hope

Realtek drivers on Linux, at least for some codecs, have this feature built-in, no malware needed. On my Dell XPS 13 9350, for example, I can use alsamixer or pavucontrol to choose between "Internal Mic," "Headset Mic,"

I would assume that eclipxe meant that the software shipped with the Nook does not allow for on-the-fly text modification. Even if it did, this is the only occurrence of text substitution that has been seen, so the fault still lies with the
