FYI, if the goal is just to use something like an old Canon LiDE scanner (pretty common/cheap devices with no more driver support) on macOS: SANE runs natively and works great: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/sane

The most unfortunate thing about Google's 3D photogrammetry is that they don't allow you to view historical captures, as they only serve the flattened 2D version there. For the time being, the only resource for these captures are

I was wondering about this too. I thought that it could be about it being possible to use archive.today to view sites otherwise blocked via DNS, but web.archive.org[1] doesn't have that flag, so it must be something else. [1] https:&#

Call me naive, but I still believe that people generally disapprove of their internet connection being abused to conduct cyber-attacks.

There's probably a worthwhile discussion to be had about what it takes for a site in this situation to be removed from blocklists. An apology? Surrender to authorities? Halting the malicious activity for a certain period of time? Regar

As far as I am aware, all previous issues with archive.today and Cloudflare were on account of archive.today taking measures to stop Cloudflare's DNS from correctly resolving their domains, not the other way around. The current situati

This was fixed/changed at some point. I use Cloudflare's DNS and it works fine for me.

I've been using an IODD 2531 enclosure for many years now, and it's doing pretty much exactly that. It works with any ISO I throw at it and has no issues with Secure Boot. It’s also platform-agnostic as it acts as a USB optical di

Not sure if this still works, but you used to be able to run "wsreset.exe -i" to install the Microsoft Store. The command kicks off the process in the background, so there's no progress indicator, but the Store app just appea

I think a dedicated "TikTok but AI" is infinitely better than AI videos polluting other platforms. Of course, in practice, the latter is already the case, rendering the theoretical benefits of the former kind of moot. Nonetheless,

Crucially, it would have to be set up so they need to use the hardware key when pushing any changes. Just requiring a hardware key as a login method does nothing to protect against token stealing, which I believe is the most common form of

FAT32 is not an option because Windows images these days are all over 4GiB. exFAT is very widely supported; the alternative would be NTFS, which doesn't work well (no write support) on macOS.

It also has an issue with remembering the last mounted .iso if its filename is beyond a certain length, in which case it will instead load a random (although always the same) .iso in the same folder. I mainly had this issue with the default

The question is if it still works "enough" to update to a working firmware, or if it's so broken that it can only be fixed by flashing the EEPROM directly.

Yeah, it's annoying, but also nothing particularly new I believe. There seem to be two types of garbage links added by default: 1. "Sponsored shortcuts" that can be "easily" turned off in `about:preferences#home` 2.

An interesting implication of this is that it would point to Firefox being considered a service from Mozilla (hence why they need a license to facilitate your use of the program). If we now look at their "Acceptable Use Policy", w
