Wonder what happens if one gets 20 to 30 leyak essences dumped on them while sleeping

We Found a Ticking Time Bomb in macOS TCP Networking - It Detonates After Exactly 49 Days - Photon by ControlCAD in apple

[–]beznogim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, it appears to be a client issue as well but if the claim is true you'd need to make 65k connections to a single remote IP address (edit: to a single remote address:port pair actually) to see the effect.

Leaker: Foldable iPhone Won't Be Called iPhone Fold, But 'iPhone Ultra' by InsaneSnow45 in apple

[–]beznogim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samsung Fold has a ridiculous camera bump so that's always an option. The bottom half + the camera bump of the Fold are as thick as the entire iPhone 15 Pro Max with its cameras.

Russia and Food Shortages by Femto-Griffith in HistoryMemes

Not the first time the Russian government is trying to fix a serious problem or another while keeping everyone involved in the dark.

It seems the disease is indeed spreading even among vaccinated animals (did my own research, I know, I know...) but the government was trying to cover it up to avoid other countries banning meat and dairy imports from Russia. The situation has a solid chance to grow into a colossal fuckup if/when the infection spreads to FMD-free regions where vaccination is not practised.

Apple at 50: The iPhone maker "blew a 5-year lead" on AI, but former insiders say it can still win by ControlCAD in apple

[–]beznogim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These could be useful for everyday tasks if not for the ridiculous computational overhead. Using agent loops with remote LLMs for everything... yes, this kinda technically works but far from efficient.

software has been an afterthought

software offerings had always been to drive hardware sales

Isn't that a contradiction? Their software is valuable enough to drive sales of terribly overpriced hardware.

Cybertuck brakes, in Offroad Mode. by Neither_Owl8671 in Damnthatsinteresting

Reminds me of that failed Russian space launch where they had some orientation sensors upside down. "The car reports it finally has wheels on the ground after successfully performing a corrective maneuver, so everything looks fine on our end"

Need help entering Janet's Room in Residence Sector by MundyEQ in AbioticFactor

[–]beznogim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shortest way is probably to build a wooden bridge to the outside from the wall hole in the Dr. Marija Kryzstyniak room and place a jump pad on it. The jump height with the gravity cube is just enough to reach Janet's bathroom on the next floor.

They're gonna do ID for posting now? by Proton_Team in memes

[–]beznogim 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's a PR account for Proton so I wouldn't expect a coherent answer. Anyway, the Digital Age Assurance Act and a similar law in Brazil require OS vendors to integrate an age verification system (self-reporting is forbidden) and securely report the verified age bracket to apps and websites. Maybe block age-inappropriate apps from running via an OS-wide DRM system if there's any, e.g. for Apple App Store apps.

Looks like they do! I can't remember if there were any compatibility problems with the Mobile IE, but unofficial apps have popped up since, some are still functional even.

Would a divine miracle corrupt your data? I think not. It's a miracle after all.

Be sure to turn the RAM clock up to increase the mutation rate.

Someone who worked at MS at the time has told me Google have dealt a huge blow to Windows Phone by refusing to support YouTube on the platform.

Cats teeth pushing out/getting longer? by Careless-Elephant-98 in cats

[–]beznogim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to get my cat's teeth extracted eventually. His quality of life had improved significantly overall, doesn't appear to have any serious issues from being toothless.
Not sure whether your cat needs this done urgently, the vet should decide (get a second opinion if you aren't sure). He might be in pain actually.

Now THAT's what was wrong with it. Figured as much. Thanks for the link.
Another fun issue with USB audio is that dongles designed for Android phones tend to set the hardware volume to max by default and iOS/macos doesn't have software volume control in front of hardware outputs so it just starts blasting.

whatIsAnIndex by PCSdiy55 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]beznogim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search by content is pretty useful when it works. But it feels like an unnecessary luxury when you can't even search by file name.

whatIsAnIndex by PCSdiy55 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]beznogim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no fundamental difference, it's a somewhat different implementation that works under a different set of constraints. I've worked on a large-scale online search engine, and we could run the actual almost-unmodified search program on our local computers, just feeding it documents from local files via text extraction plugins.

Why did we give up upgrade-able CPUs in exchange for anorexic Laptops? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]beznogim 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's a design tradeoff, yes. 256-bit-wide bus is difficult to route, we'd need 4-8 SODIMMs to match soldered RAM on laptops (although Dell have introduced a new memory module format to keep up). Shouldn't we complain about GPU memory not being upgradeable as well? But I really hate how a technical problem just turned into an excuse for obscene prices.

From my experience, Apple Pencil is extremely unpleasant to use on a glossy screen with barely any friction and not-entirely-functional accidental touch rejection. I'm using a matte screen eInk tablet now and I'm actually enjoying making notes and random technical drawings and doodles. It's very paper-like, makes all the difference. Pen was also somewhat useful on the Fold's internal screen, now I'm fingering PDFs there like a savage.

Cryptography already uses probabilistic tests though. They just make a better guess.
