The Patreon pulls in about $260/mo. They have about 100 members. Millions of dollars for human translation of 1000s of magazines from the 70s is not on the table. The number of people pissing and moaning is far larger than their total subscriber count. That should probably tell you something...

No kidding. We pay the subscription to the Internet itself, via our ISP. All sides of these conversations are already paying for bandwidth. Most of what people are using Discord for doesn't really require a centralized server. Very few Discord servers even need to be big; all the ones I...

Seems unlikely to be true. Spring tension works fine in Surefire and similar lights, on 18650 and 16650 cells. They don't blink under shotgun recoil, or repeated rifle recoil. It does require designing sufficient springs. Preferably on both ends of the cell, so they can float on spring tension...

Immediately after changing password on a Microsoft account enabled PC, the new password cannot be used to do an RDP login. Only the old cred works. That continues to be the case until you perform a local login with the new credentials on the machine. PIN and Hello logins don't count, since...

Wikipedia stakes the total damage from that heat wave at $30B. Hard to believe Chevron could single-handedly weigh in at "just shy of $30 billion," in that case, and wild-ass claims really don't help credibility. Like others have pointed out, the whole economy's presently built on...

And they're correct: the website is the owner's property, not the user's. There's no clever UNO-Reverso on contracting terms, here. "I refuse to come to your house unless you obey my rules!" "Okay... bye?" If they were requesting access to your machine, the shoe would be on the other foot...

My 2022 Honda Pilot's fancypants cruise control and lane keeping does exactly the same thing. It works great. If the user is intentionally defeating the guardrails, honestly, I feel like that's kind of on the user. Acting as an adversarial user to your vehicle's safety features is not a great...

I'd love to know where the 225 GB/s number is coming from... their own FAQ says, "With eight integrated LEDs in the room transmitting at 42 Mb/s each..." Are they summing the number of P2P connections across a TESLA sized factory, or something? As far as "security" of these connections...

The whole point of this isn't to prevent malicious actors. It's to raise the difficulty involved in being malicious (you need to obfuscate your code), and provide a way of mitigating the malice, after it's caught. Code review is hard. Even very good code review isn't going to catch...

Presumably you'd use the yubikey to hold a FIDO key for one of your big vendor accounts (Google) that's storing the rest of your passkeys for redistribution amongst logged-in accounts. That way you only need to store one key to recover the rest. You COULD just use the yubikey (or multiple), but...

If you go to the FIDO Alliance and read the FAQ, you'll find you're correct. Phones are one possible keystore. Windows and other OSes are also possible keystores. If you're logging into a site for which you have a key, but not on the device you're logging in from, your device will reach out...

Easy position to take when it's not your kids that won't get clothes this year, or your family that won't eat.

You can try it, now. It's called Sublevel: Zero.

Teleporting is for people who get motion sick, or don't have much experience in VR. Most games support dual-stick (or stick and facing) movement, and it works just fine. Headsets are plenty comfortable - if you adjust them right - if you're interested in VR. If you're not interested in VR...

It asks you, explicitly, repeatedly, "Are you SURE you want infinity risk?!?!?!!?" before allowing you to enable trading on margin. It asks you to disclaim that you do, in fact, understand what you're doing. There's no way that any person reading the text they're presenting is turning on...

You should definitely not be coughing up carbonized phlegm from a few hours shooting. Something is seriously wrong with the ventilation on your range, sir. You should consider a full respirator. Or a proper range.

Did you read the same article I did..? The reason Verizon et. al. are able to maintain a cartel (splitting up regions between themselves w/o competition) is *because* starting a new ISP is hard. Due to local, county, state, and other regulations. From the article, it sounded like the biggest...

E2EE would break features like adding a person to a chat, and letting them see the chat history. And your boss, his boss, and the company lawyers' ability to read your messages. E2EE is not something that's generally desirable in this kind of corporate messaging, since you may need folks who...

I really would like to see them drop the 255 char path compatibility at some point. The file system itself handles 64k. Looks like it's possible to enable longpaths in 1607+. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... ing-a-file But I don't see how that's really germane to performance testing.

Eeeh? No 40-60, 60-80, or 80+ hours per week gaming options..? C'mon, guys, I didn't put 2000 hours into Elite in a year, without relenting on other gaming activity, to be hobbled by a 10+ radio button.
