I have a 1TB harddrive on my desktop computer that isn’t doing much of anything, so I’d like to dual-boot something “interesting”. Suggestions are greatly appreciated, so let me know what y’all find intriguing/interesting/frustrating/innovative....
GhostBSD My pre-coffee self mistyped. I have a separate drive with my daily drive OS on their (Mint), and I have an additional separate drive that I’d like to do something interesting on. These are fun suggestions, so thank you!
Which is bullshit because DRM doesn’t effectively prevent ripping (source: you can find pirated hd content). So it’s literally only harmful to the customer.
I’ll give you a quick demo of how DRM is literally useless at protecting content:
You need:
a machine with any Nvidia GPU series 600 or newer running Windows, a browser with DRM support (e.g. chrome), and optionally sunshine. This is not an uncommon setup
any other machine that can run moonlight (even a phone).\
Services often use widevine as DRM provider, so using the Nvidia machine visit this test page and make sure DRM is working
Normally the DRM api ensure that the decrypted content of that video can never in any form get out of a special GPU buffer, not even the browser can access it
enable sunshine on the machine
Connect from the second machine to the using moonlight and notice that the video is not being shared. DRM seems to be working correctly.
Now disable sunshine and enable Nvidia gamestream from GeForce experience, and set it up to share the whole desktop
connect from the second machine to the first using moonlight
now the video is being shared to the second machine, and DRM is circumvented. There is literally nothing preventing you from recording the screen on the second machine
Now, this is a terrible way of ripping content, it causes at least one reencoding, which reduces quality (a lot of people won’t even notice it), but it is a stupidly simple working demo of DRM circumvention.
Btw, that procedure is not the result of some study, reverse engineering, or any clever stuff. I was literally playing a game in streaming and I went “hmm, I wonder what would happen if I streamed widevine” and it just worked.

Now's the perfect time for competitors to arise that haven't wasted enormous amounts of resources on that kind of thing, and who can draw on a nice big pool of talent looking to leave Amazon.
Insurers say prior authorization helps control costs by preventing medically unnecessary care, but patients say the process can delay or deny access to needed treatments.
In stark contrast to Europe, which enjoyed an abundance of high-quality iron, Japan’s geographical limitations meant that the availability of good iron ore was scarce. Japanese bladesmiths had to work with whatever they could find, which was often of inferior quality. Despite these challenges, the Japanese developed a process to create their own steel, known as tamahagane or jewel steel.
Tamahagane was produced through a labor-intensive method that involved smelting iron sand and charcoal in traditional clay furnaces called tatara. This process required an intricate… read more
Hyundai and Kia are telling the owners of nearly 92,000 vehicles in the U.S. to park them outside because an electronic controller in an oil pump can overheat and cause fires.
The recalls cover certain 2023 and 2024 Hyundai Palisades, as well some 2023 Tucson, Sonata, Elantra and Kona vehicles. Affected Kias include the 2023 Soul and Sportage as well as some 2023 and 2024 Seltos vehicles.
Remember when Ellen Pao was the worst thing to ever happen to the world and was killing reddit with her… rules against revenge porn and blatant hate boards?
Remember how reddit “capitulated” and did what the community wanted and got rid of her? Hmm, who was it they replaced her with?
Reddit is preparing for an IPO and likely a buyout. The absolute best way the new owners can “win” is to solve all problems by getting rid of the current evil CEO, maybe rolling back one of the dozens of horrifically bad policy changes, and then calling it a win. Huffman gets a golden parachute and reddit is super happy and wonderful again.
If you are naive confident enough that a call for action will be listened to: Call for action regarding policies, not figureheads.
I definitely recommend playing Fire Red and/or Leaf Green for a gen 1 remake. They have a lot of QoL improvements and are essentially the same game, without all the bugs etc.

I know it’s the old round pin we used for phones back in the day but can someone send me a link to the exact one because I’m seeing too many round pin charges of different sizes. Also where do I go for tech help related questions like these? Is this the right community?
So that’s a DC power connector, but we’re going to need more info before we can give you specifics.
For starters, we need to know the polarity. Basically, the pin is going to be one side of the charge, and the sleeve around the circumference is going to be the other. Look for something like this to see what the polarity needs to be. The center dot is the pin, and the C shape is the outer contact.
Next, we need to know the voltage and amperage. This should be listed somewhere on the device. Most barrel connectors are 12v, but you occasionally see 5v (when they’re powered via USB) or 20v. So that 12v isn’t a 100% guaranteed thing and it’s worth double checking. For amps, you simply need something above whatever the device is listed at. Amperage is basically how much power the device actually uses, and bigger devices will draw more power (and need a bigger power supply.) If it shows that it draws 1A at 12v, then a 12v 1.5A power supply will work, but a 12v 500mA (that’s 0.5A, since each milliamp is 1/1000 of an amp) power supply will overheat.
Lastly, we’ll need to know the diameter of the barrel. These connectors are standardized sizes, but there are a lot of different sizes. They’re measured in millimeters. So you’ll need some way to measure the connector and see how big it is. Easier said than done.
If you’re able to figure out the first two parts, (polarity and voltage/amps) you can get a universal power supply (with the appropriate voltage and polarity, and rated for something at/above the device’s listed amperage) that comes with a variety of barrels. Then you can simply find the right size barrel via trial and error.
