  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where can I find Trumps drawing in the letter to Epstein?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Curl creator mulls nixing bug bounty awards to stop AI slop⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  Agreed with this, but I don’t think it was entirely the point of Destin’s video, as more of his focus was about keeping jobs local to the United States. Unfortunately his bit at the end about companies spending more money for local manufacturing is not how Wall Street works, and that’s all corporations care about. If from a national standpoint, retaining this knowledge is vital to the security of the country, the government should be investing in keeping that production in the countries via tax subsidies or other incentives. Corporations won’t do it on their own if it means less profit for them, and imposing tariffs will just be passed to the citizens with no industrial gain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Tried To Make Something In America (The Smarter Scrubber Experiment) - Smarter Every Day 308⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the line of self sufficient? I remember a story about a guy who made a BLT sandwich from scratch, it took him 6 months and thousands of dollars. Sure he was self sufficient, but it’s not sustainable to produce 100% of everything yourself. In the Smarter Everyday video, almost everything was supplied from another vendor, and there was no mention on where the raw materials came from to make the parts made in the America. If anything, being able to supply the chain mail from China (via India) allowed the production to be resilient to change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Tried To Make Something In America (The Smarter Scrubber Experiment) - Smarter Every Day 308⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also watched the whole thing, and have to imagine that a lot of xenophobic stuff was edited out when they found out their chainmail from India was actually from China. That section was so cringe, they had someone on earlier who spoke Chinese, why not ask him what it meant or research some more, than make assumptions and air that lightly filtered.

  I get he’s making a point to invest in local manufacturing, but then knowingly having the excess supply of chainmail come from India defeats the point he’s trying to make. Considering the handle for the first 2000 are from costa rica and the excess chainmail after the 2000 units was at least thought to be from India, it seems rare anything being sold is 100% Made in America, yet has a price tag 4x as much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do americans assume they invented the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re getting a lot of comments correctly pointing out that ARPANET was actually invented by the US in the 1970s and was the precursor to the Internet. I think it’s your question which is phrased incorrectly, and not the point you’re trying to make. Assuming this and rephrasing your question to mean the World Wide Web (not the Internet), you’re correct, that was created by Tim Berners-Lee while working at CERN in the 1990s, approximately 20 years after ARPANET. This brought along Hypertext websites, and basically was another step in the foundation of the internet as we know it today.

  So rephrasing your question to “why do americans assume they invented the web (websites)?”, it’s mainly because the underlying infrastructure of the internet was originally developed by the US government, so even before websites existed, domain names were heavily American leaning, with .gov being US Government websites, and .edu being US Universities, etc. Other countries at the time had ccTLD for their country code, like .uk, .au, etc and when it came time to assign domain names, they chose to use .co.uk or .com.au for example, rather than .com.

  I assume that americans rarely encounter a .com.au or other ccTLD domain names, and largely are going to .com websites. They probably assume that the .au TLD was tacked on to support Australia because they didn’t invent the internet.
