• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have some very old CDs, mostly retro video games. Is there a way to pull the games and data off the CDs for preservation?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It is still around actually! I looked into it a month or two ago when I was having some similar thoughts as OP. I found it quite cool they’ll let you download a windows 9x compatible version too for people using the images on a retro machine.

  I’ve done the DVDs I care about, and ensuring I’ve got FLACs of all my CDs is probably next.

  I’m deciding if it’s actually worth doing my PS1 games given I’ve already got a (not entirely legitimate) full 1g1r library on my media server, my rarest game is probably silent hill and that’s definitely already in there.

  They don’t edit the manifest at all?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flipper Zero 'DarkWeb' Firmware Bypasses Rolling Code Security on Major Vehicle Brands⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Potentially misunderstanding but that’s exactly what this is, right?

  You recorded the code for a given unlock (I’m assuming out of range of the vehicle), replayed it, the car then rolled the code on to the next one and your replayed code was no longer valid and your existing fob didn’t know to rollover too, so was left out of sync.

  So yes I guess there’s the risk it hasn’t been implemented correctly, but adds the necessary functionality you were missing to accomplish this before

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flipper Zero 'DarkWeb' Firmware Bypasses Rolling Code Security on Major Vehicle Brands⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I would assume there’s a maximum number of fobs you can register to an individual car and it just keeps the state for all of them individually

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy.World blocks VPN?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Spammers were using vpns to evade bans and flood Lemmy.world with illegal content a while ago

  I assume this is a holdover from that

  Smaller instances with less open sign-up probably don’t have the same blocks

  Maybe ban those groups rather than pensioners protesting a fucking genocide

  That’s not what we’re talking about though, we have a declining bee population problem that needs intervention to save

  The other guy was making a maths joke

  “30!!” Is 30 double factorial and therefore that very large number

  Well damn, I had no idea they caused that many problems, thanks for the reply

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is WAR.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but often they top out at 15mph

  Whatever the latest 2 tonne pickup truck is, can go 10x that speed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is WAR.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh a forklift is probably less of a risk than your average American car.

  Not if you fill up with tasty fibre rich food

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the colour of sunlight different in every country?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Time of day and the photographers decisions in shooting and developing the photo (or lack of decisions in many cases) have a much bigger impact on this than where you are.

  Second to that is probably local architecture, e.g. old town Marrakech will likely result in a redder tone photos than say a greek island, because a lot of the local building materials are going to be filtering out non red tones

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries running live USB Linux on his dad's computer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah sorry I should have elaborated when I said it’s partly Microsoft’s fault. This mostly happened because neither of them expected the FDE to be enabled which is on Microsoft for silently enabling it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries running live USB Linux on his dad's computer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is partly Microsoft’s fault, for sure, but it’s also more of a function of how secureboot works. A Linux system using TPM backed FDE with secureboot enabled would have the same problem going the other way.

  Secureboot prevents a lot of ways the TPM could be compromised, so as part of “securely” turning it off, it wipes the keys (otherwise those protections would be pointless, the first thing an attacker would do would be to turn off secureboot).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would you do if your gym trainer is 5 minutes late?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  5 minutes is about 8% of an hour. If he’s just driving in at 5 past, it’s gonna be closer to 10 past before he’s actually training you.

  He’s not giving you 15% of the hour you have paid for, and if he does it 7 times, he’s stolen a whole hour of training from you

  Well we have several on market street (probably what most people would think of as the high street) in Manchester, but perhaps that’s probably the exception rather than the rule compared to most of the rest of the country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cutting sucks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You know there’s no calories in normal seasoning?

  Tasty food gives dopamine. Dopamine gives you motivation to do stuff.

  You’re just unnecessarily doing it on hard mode without at least some pepper

  The standard degree course is 3-4 years

  I think this year’s intake will be the first where everyone at the uni will be post-chatgpt.

  Between the pandemic and LLMs, I honestly reckon my uni experience from the end of the 00s is completely alien to those doing it today
