The introductory video is a bit... daring. Generating tattoos that clearly look AI-generated is not one of the use-cases I'd try to sell.

The company doing the actual ID verification (KYC) is probably the last company I'd trust with this kind of data. To circumvent conversations being flagged as "cybersecurity bad!!!" I often have to use previous models (5.3 fo

But the older you are, the more likely it is that you have built a family and have children and responsibilities outside of work. You cannot necessarily afford to spend time studying (problems untied to the real world) as much as someone yo

I didn't used a kit, but bought the components separately (microcontroller, key caps, switches, wires). It runs custom code as it was sufficient to fit my use case, though QMK may be possible? The keys are mapped from F13 to F22 and ca

I recently built a small hand-wired macro pad using an Arduino Pro Micro equipped with ATmega32U4, it's apparently quite popular amongst hobbyists building custom keyboards. Quick and fun project for a beginner, the most tedious part o

I wrote a Python package [1] that does something similar! It allows the generation of images from HTML+CSS strings or files (or even other files like SVGs) and could probably handle PDF generation too. It uses the headless version of Chrome

For further nitpicking: "etc." shall also end with '.' as it is the abbreviated form of "et cetera/caetera". Also, when used in an enumeration, it shall be preceded by a comma. https://en.wikipe

The french example sounds off in my opinion, it seems to mix up its consonants/ vowels. The "OU" sound from "nous" sounds like "EU", or like if the sound was skipped. The "OH" sound from "

It appears to be invite-only (even though you can request an invite). I'm not sure about what drove them to do so, but that may be why there is not much activity on the website.

Then it would be an attack vector of course, but whether it is a vulnerability of the password manager itself would be debatable.

The XML config file is by default stored locally, as KeePass doesn't support cloud-backup or sync out of the box. If the XML config file is on DropBox, that is because you allowed it (either by uploading it manually or because you enab

This 'someone' could also, on most computers, install a keylogger to get your master password, or passwords that aren't registered in a password manager. Would you consider this a vulnerability coming from the password manage

To perform an export of a KeePass database, the database needs to be opened using (at least) a master password. A database file without its master password is still worthless on its own.

Then, where does being a "maker" even start? One will always end up using something someone else created, or discovered, whether it is a library, a language, an OS, hardware... Even if you build your own computer from scratch usin
