Other platforms do this too like pocketcasts. I assume it's the backend distribution network identifying your IP address and inserting 'relevant' ads. I don't believe it's being added by the podcast app (though for

I didn't know this existed. I had claude put this together for me from scratch a week ago. Tmux and claude and telegram is a really powerful combo!

Unfortunately not every country in Europe. Zero banks in Ireland have implemented SEPA Instant and transfers still take at least a day. Thankfully though they have a deadline to implement this that's coming up soon and will be forced t

How many of these variants or noteworthy viruses kill as many people? Genuine question, because covid has been on a different scale to SARS, MERS or any of the various animal flu pandemics, in terms of R number and how difficult it is to co

What about their covid measures put you off? When for so much of the pandemic they were seen as absolute world leaders and were living as normal when the rest of us were in lockdowns?

I tried to do a college end of year project in Symbian, and couldn't get anything to work for months. This was likely a combination of lack of ability as much as the SDKs problem, but it definitely was not novice friendly. I pivoted to

You can create your own DSM powered NAS using Xpenology to load the DSM software on normal hardware. It's more fiddling but you can get a very powerful NAS very cheaply this way.

You don't understand. They mean the laptop literally called just the Macbook. It's a 12 inch fanless laptop. https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook This is why these 'simple' naming schemes

Given its an open source app, it should be reasonably easy for the censor to reverse engineer the algorithmically generated domains. Frequent tiny updates would be an interesting solution though. Now that most mobile apps can deliver just d

I've read that they won't be using them, because they generally have professional setups with proper lighting and DSLRs. They also then edit photos before posting them.

I got asked some of these questions literally yesterday by Google and you're right. The wording was how you've presented it, not how he did.

You're exactly right. I was asked some of these exact questions yesterday. The guy should have realised what he was dealing with, the recruiters don't claim to be technical, and the questions are flagged as being straight forward

While I agree that it's ridiculous that this is the case, I side with the students who were given a choice and chose the physical calculator. The thought of doing Numerical Analysis problems and long calculations on an app sounds excru

There's almost no hack needed here, as the article says, they basically opened up remote code execution to anyone. That's shockingly bad.

They use 'barebones' Clevo shells, which are then configured by different vendors. I have a laptop based on W230SD and I'm very happy with it. It contains a proper i7, not the underpowered U model and also has a 3k screen, 2

I don't understand why they put the FN on the left. Maybe it's because Ctrl+Shift isn't that common a gesture for the general population, but switching them in the BIOS is the first thing I do.

They could though, your subscription is tied to a viewing card, which should be tied to your address. They could use firmware on the box to generate a modified pint glass based on that. It'd be a fun game of cat and mouse.

Nothing, but that's the risk of crowdfunding. At least in this case it was someone quite well known in the community with some sort of track record (flattr). Projects fail, and to be honest, it was always a possibility here with his le

It'd probably be much easier to just blur the area of the image where they put it to be honest, I've seen this on streams before, they just blur the bottom corner where the number would show up.

Not really true, Ireland has a large concentration of 'tech giants'. They may be setting up because of tax regulations but they pretty much all have sizeable engineering workforces in Ireland. Google Ireland for example employs mo

I disagree with you. The problem of autonomous vehicles is yes, a very difficult one, but steps are being taken towards it at a rapid rate. I work in the area, and parking and standard autonomous motorway driving, where the main required al

I love mine too, but this makes me pause. If they were willing to do something like this in software, what's to say they wouldn't do something that you couldn't just flash away? Like an 'enhanced user experience' BI

It's extremely unlikely that the two are related. Account access attempts from Chinese IP addresses are common for almost everyone on Gmail.

I like small laptops and this is the bane of my life, there are so few powerful small laptops out there with good screen resolutions.
