I can understand with what youre saying, and to each their own tastes. However, id like to point out that asus tried to get them to pay 200$ for something that wasnt broken is something that is relevant to us as consumers. Specially since they started the investigation after a lot of people started mailing GN about their issues and… questionable practices

Except thats not how it works here. Legal sexwork exists here, and pimps is are illegal.

I will be honest, i am fully against tiktok and everything it stands for. It should burn in hell.

…However, the law the us passed to ban tiktok makes no sense whatsoever. At its core its as bad as china’s grasp on a lot of markets. I believe a more correct way is to ban the practices tik tok does and ban it from federal devices. However, such a law needs more effort and would also get us-based companies in trouble.
But even then, its a way better solution to the problem

Vlc has hardware acceleration afaik. I think its more a case of the ffmpeg codec not supporting it yet because what the actual fuck haha

It already has anyway. Ive requested my discord data once and everytime you do anything in discord it explicitly saves and stores the location of where you were when you interacted with discord.

Hybrid does make sense. There are people who work better in an office ( like myself ) and there are people who are better working from home ( like my coworker ). The company i work for believes hybrid is the way to go so that you can supply an office for people like me, but also hire people who work remotely. However, nobody is saying you need to have an office that can house 100% of you employees. 60% is good enough as not everyone will be in the office at the same time. Money saved!

That said, some meetings are better to have in person so once in a while a required in person meeting is needed.

I believe in the words of my company : everyone, everywhere. And that includes an office or, which has happened, from working from spain, germany or thailand which are all remote locations in no way connected with the company. These were people who legit lived abroad or were looking after a vacation home of a friend

Imo github doesnt have that high of a vendor lock-in. Its git, you can clone and push it to another server. Sure, youll have to convert the ci’s and templates, but thats about it really.
And a good yaml is easily converted as the ideas and actions are the same, only the action names are different.
But yes, i think that is what the author was getting at.

In principal, the change is good for reasons you mentioned. However microsoft has :

• bypassed any default screens in the past, allowing edge to be set default without user input.
• has added very annoying screens when changing default applications asking the user multiple times if they are sure.
• has added special protocols for applications and set edge as default browser to bypass default application settings in all office applications ( outlook, teams, word, … ).

They just can not be trusted with this, they have proven this in the past…

This post kinda infuriates me. Gary bowser is not an innocent, fragile little guy here. He is the sock puppet of Max Louarn, the basically mob boss of all major piracy groups in the world.
Gary is also part of the gang ( that max also owns ) that is working on new switch piracy hardware, months after he got out of jail.
They were also caught selling open source software that was breaking its copyright license, while including their own code that could brick switch systems and more.

This is not a story of big bad company vs small fragile guy. Not even close.

Welcome to modern framework development!

• C# has nuget
• any nodejs based framework ( react, vue, angular, … ) (npm)
• python …

All of the above are chuckful of dependecies upon dependencies, and webdev stacks are the worst of them. They make it VERY hard to make software that requires any security related certification because of the dependency hell…
I swear to god, all those frameworks are designed so badly when looking at dependency hell …

… Yet i will write c and c# code everyday haha

I legit wonder what would happen if this argument is used ( in a professional way by a professional lawyer ) in a court of law. Like, could this legit be argued to be the same?

I had no idea trusted types existed, and took a while to realise the w3 docs was confusing as hell.
But mozilla to the rescue : developer.mozilla.org/en-US/…/Trusted_Types_API

So it boils down to a javascript api to santize a string before using it in a plathora of javascript functions that interact with the DOM. Neat, but if the developer has to make the policy themselves i dont see the added bonus to this. XSS seems to be still possible if the policy is made incorrectly?

Edit : or am i reading the example wrong and the developer defined code is on top of whatever the api does with the string? I also dont understand why the browsers implementation of innerHtml couldnt just automatically apply whatever that policy does…

Holy shit! My time as a wii homebrew developer to shine haha.

SO, this is half myth half suspicion. On the wii, nintendo was able to update a part of the booting process called “boot2”. Boot2 can be considered like a kind of early program running while the system boots ( think of the windows logo you look at when booting your pc ). The group of people who made the tools/programs that made it possible to run homebrew on the wii, called team twiizers or fail0verflow, said the code used to update that part of the system was unsafe and could brick wiis. Personally, i havent seen that code yet to verify, but i degress.

People read that, and took it as boot2 update == brick.

Come the wii’s 4.2 update ( i think it was 4.2 ), nintendo pushed a boot2 update (boot2v4) and it would install when the wii connected to the internet and checked for updates. This made people scared that it would brick, which resulted in what you think off.

Personally, i havent heard of any brick stories by the update ( besides people doing weird ass, unsafe, shit ). But without seeing the actual code from nintendo, it is possible i guess

Thats up to you to decide. Some think brave is the best browser out there with the best of both worlds, others think its a lying piece of shit with a shitty ceo.

Report that to your country’s privacy watchdog. That is not the law. After comfirming your identity they should remove it ( at least for eu citizens? )

We arent the us, no worries :‘)

The problem is that extremists are everywhere and with the easy access of information, things from other places are happening here too, even if they are not applicable ( like police voilence or blm protests ). That said, fuck those extremists, whatever their background is :’)

Also, this article sucks. It doesnt even explain what the new sexual education is about
