- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 1 week ago:
You don’t need to memorize it really, just have to generalize the position of the minute hand past the last round number. Is it about 40% between the 2 and the 3, then that’s a 12.

I don’t think there’s any legal basis for having “designed in” be truthful, where as “made in” is a requirement for the marking of country of origin for imports.

Exactly this, the
.zipfile extension is widely known, and now that it’s also a TLD, it can be confusing for some people. There’s no technical vulnerability, but the existence of.zipTLD just gives more ammo for phishing. For example, someone could register a domain namerecent-bank-statements[.]zip(without brackets) and then have a subdomain forchase.comand send someone a link tohttps://chase.com.recent-bank-statements/[.]zipto “Download your bank statements”. If you’re not looking closely, you might not realize there is a.instead of a/and think that this link would go to chase.com When the site initiates a download of a zip file, you might trust the contents thinking it came from Chase and not a malicious link. - Comment on ‘They stole my face’: Streamer claims The First Descendant ads used AI to make it look like he’s promoting it 2 weeks ago:
Publisher Nexon has now made a statement addressing the situation, saying the ads were submitted by users as part of a ‘TikTok Creative Challenge’, which TikTok describes as an “official creator monetization program that turns your creativity into cash by creating UGC-style ads for your favorite brands”.
“All submitted videos are verified through TikTok’s system to check copyright violations before they are approved as advertising content. However, we have become aware of cases where the circumstances surrounding the production of certain submitted videos appear inappropriate. Thus, we are conducting a thorough joint investigation with TikTok to determine the facts.
How could they not see this coming? Of course this will be gamed and abused. This is what happens when you fire your marketing department and outsource it to TikTok.

- Comment on Hypothetically, if the police seized your electronics (for an unrelated investigation) and found out you have a lot of pirated content, what would happen? 5 weeks ago:
IANAL and not really sure if this would hold up for digital assets, but if there is a search warrant, anything in plain view is up for grabs: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horton_v._California. I would assume anything on the hard drive can be evidence in court if it is in plain view of the assets of the search warrant.
But also, for simply possession of pirated content, I don’t think the state would charge you, but you could be open to civil litigation if the copyright holders find out somehow.

Yes this was the game! The CD I had contained both games. The other game was Attack of the Mutant. This was the hockey game ingrained in my memory: youtu.be/7vQ0qBVhjME?t=2269

Was that a point and click interactive video one? I remember one story with dead hokey players or something? I think I got that CD for free from a box of cereal and have great memories playing it while home sick from school one day.

I have seen this picture, but it has not been released by the WSJ, CNN, NYT, etc. The WSJ article describes the letter and this matches the description, but this is a recreation based on the description. What OP is asking for is why can’t they find a scan of the actual letter and the reason is because it hasn’t been published.

You’re right, best I can tell, WSJ only described the image, but has not published it. Here is an archive of the WSJ piece that Trump is suing about: archive.is/IUWMu

- Comment on Curl creator mulls nixing bug bounty awards to stop AI slop 1 month ago:
Still this seems like a HackerOne problem, they’re acting as the middleman and I assume are taking part of the payout. What are they doing to earn the money they’re taking? The reason to go with HackerOne is to facilitate the interactions with people and pass the reports. It shouldn’t be a Curl maintainers responsibility to spot obvious AI slop. Maybe this is just the tier they’re on with HackerOne, but considering this is HackerOne’s business model, I would imagine that if huge companies are also dealing with this, then HackerOne will loose a lot of clients.

In the blog post, Daniel does discuss why that is a heavy handed approach:
People mention charging a fee for the right to submit a security vulnerability (that could be paid back if a proper report). That would probably slow them down significantly sure, but it seems like a rather hostile way for an Open Source project that aims to be as open and available as possible. Not to mention that we don’t have any current infrastructure setup for this – and neither does HackerOne. And managing money is painful.
- Comment on Anon describes experience 1 month ago:
That’s bs and also reminds me of a joke about two mathematicians at a bar:
longish math joke
> Two mathematicians are in a bar. The first one says to the second that the average person knows very little about basic mathematics. The second one disagrees, and claims that most people can cope with a reasonable amount of math. > > The first mathematician goes off to the washroom, and in his absence the second calls over the waitress. He tells her that in a few minutes, after his friend has returned, he will call her over and ask her a question. All she has to do is answer one third x cubed. > > She repeats “one thir – dex cue”? > > He repeats “one third x cubed”. > > She says, “one thir dex cuebd”? > > Yes, that’s right, he says. So she agrees, and goes off mumbling to herself, “one thir dex cuebd…”. > > The first guy returns and the second proposes a bet to prove his point, that most people do know something about basic math. He says he will ask the blonde waitress an integral, and the first laughingly agrees. The second man calls over the waitress and asks “what is the integral of x squared?”. > > The waitress says “one third x cubed” and while walking away, turns back and says over her shoulder “plus a constant!”

Maybe you can check the manual if the laptop has a CMOS battery. If it does, you’ll have to take apart the laptop to remove the battery for a few minutes, which will reset all the settings.

Are CMOS batteries still a thing? Removing that and the laptop battery should wipe the BIOS to the default settings

Also in this scene, why was there an empty spot in the grid for the robot to blend into? If it took the place of another robot, what did it do with the remains of the other robot without time. A lot of “don’t think about it too much” in this movie.

Honestly, regardless of their education and experience, if you have this concern about a person, you should get a new roommate, assuming there’s more to your question than just a hypothetical.
All the time, there are shitty significant others who install a keylogger or screen recorder to monitor their spouse, because they’re fucked up. A lot of the time, they don’t have any technical background, and are the equivalent of script kiddies. They do this because they’re shitty people, not because they have a degree in computer science.
