It gets even better, each function of the port also needs proper support from the cable. Often cables do not support the full spec of usb to cut costs.

While the symbols in the post are often put on computers, for usb cables this is seldom done (only a few brands do).

Source: had to find a cable that supports both DP and PD to connect a portable external monitor after I lost the original cable. (1/9 cables worked)

Unless a mod of this community comes out and says that I'd just ignore him.

A bit too egocentric for my taste. To take the example further, people that teach their kids they can only wear sandals when going out or people teaching to discriminate against race or gender because they believe it will make the shoe-unicorns sad can also shove their belief where the sun don't shine

According to the dumbfucks making the government application of Belgium (to read official communication) trustworthy means having developer mode disabled.

One of those cables that don't work is rated for like 120W, with gigabit transfer speed... But it refuses to transmit display.... Like bruh

So instead of spending money on extravagant expenses they could have fired 5% less people this round.... Compared to what the money is spent on that still sounds good.

Though it indeed makes little difference in the big picture, this is still a bad image.

This is some NotTheOnion level of article

They're probably just going to disable it for manual access and add a regkey that you can add to regain access. (They've done the same for other 'deprecated' features)

Didn't really think about that one but you're right damn... (Looked it up, and it depends on the bit depth etc, but it's around 3.2Gbps for the display settings if I'm correct)... So that explains a lot

Gigabit is capable of like 720p@30Hz which it probably should be able to fall back on, but I understand why they wouldn't do that haha. 1080p@15Hz is also possible :)

That just illustrates a more fundamental problem

It's more of a way to reduce costs for the CDN, using torrents everyone contributes and they only have to send a small magnet file.

You can set any icon to anything you want so doesn't even need to be fake.

This describes religion pretty well too.

Well, it's a 'feature' on that one line of laptop. Besides it's not like shortcuts performance suffer because of this, it's merely an obscure 'fun to know'.

"You don't have to add ads to your webpage, but if you don't nobody will find you using our search engine"

They be making everyone "choose" to add their ads/trackers to their website

He judges if your soul should be punished for eternity or not. If your soul is impure it'll weigh more.

It's basically the gates of heaven sending you to hell of Egyptian religion

Problem with that is that you need advertisers to buy into that idea too... And I don't think anyone's gonna say "ah yeah for sure they'll listen to my ad" if it's in a 30 min block.

If an app gets pirated they're going to have thrown out this check too.

Instructions unclear, booted tails from usb

But then those images could contain the very fingerprints he's trying to avoid

That still doesn't sound like the customers fault at all. It should be possible to set certain things as out of stock, depending on the system probably automatically.

The fact that you're interrupted for online orders sounds like your workflow isn't optimised for having online orders at all. Just look at McDonald's drive-in, that's a completely separate flow from the in-store orders usually and they make it work. That might be a very visible example but many other stores have updated their workflow to accommodate online orders if offered.

So both these issues (calling customers to fix shit and the forced workflow) are completely fixable. You shouldn't be mad at customers using delivery services, be mad at the store owner that just wants the money from delivering without making sure their system is up for it (not to mention they underpay you, even more reason to be mad at em)

In practice, there are several types of CAPTCHAs: text-based, image-based, audio-based and behavior-based.

Computer scientist writing an article about captchas doesn't know that proof-of-work captchas exist.... Such a joke.

Of course those don't do much against automated fake form filling, but against DDoS they're THE solution.

Proof of work (PoW) captchas make the (computing) cost for the attacker exponentially higher than for the website. Basically the website creates a challenge, which has to be solved by the client/attacker before getting access to content. Best of all the website can set the difficulty of the challenge to anywhere from instant to seconds to solve, so normally the users don't even notice it (as it runs in the background) but once someone starts DDoS'ing the difficulty goes up.

Out of all things, somehow privacy badger removes it

30? I've come across website that in this case would list out all 807 partners.

There are so many ways to encode information into an image without changing its look that I doubt you'll find most of them by "changing levels"

Some of the games I play can't be played on Linux because of anti-cheat. One even uses a fucking kernel-mode driver on windows so it sure as hell ain't working on linux

What's with all the ads here lately

What should be done is that every time a new format comes out all images in existence are re-encoded in that format. Hopefully that will cause artifacts, clearing everything up in terms of image age.

So don't pay for windows, get it unactivated and use MAS to activate it.

Best of all captchas which require human interaction are completely redundant anyways. From a security perspective anyways (blocking bots generating huge amounts of traffic)... For training your next LLM however...

Developers deserve to be paid for their time though...

Sure for many it's nothing but a hobby and they're happy to create something for free. But that doesn't mean every developer needs to do the same.

And yes ads are a privacy nightmare and putting them into your app is bad. So either you only use apps from hobbyists or you pay for access (whether that be a set price for a finished product or a subscription for a service).

Damn... That is good..

I guess we now have to learn all the different markers for AI generated music too (like hands and background continuity for image generation)

Possible, but nobody is wasting such a good exploit on average consumer PC's.

Meer info over koffie zal in 1999 worden toegevoegd

Lies

On top of the reason the top level comment gave (easy for law enforcement) it also allows for better data collection (linking your activity to your account, no matter where, how or when it is recorded)

I barely see them pop up, if they do it's for a fraction of a second before a browser extension nukes them.

Seeing as you had about a 3 frame window to line up the middle one (and pure chance to line up the bottom one), don't be too hard on yourself

Only time I ever felt small was when I stepped off the train in The Netherlands. (2m)

Same with the camera, and probably something can be said about the ports too.

Should apple be allowed to completely close those off though? Nah

Btrfs works with different hard drive sizes, with 1 disk failure with no data loss.
