"You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the output generated using SDK elements for the purpose of translating such output artifacts to target a non-NVIDIA platform.,"

This is literally a protected right in multiple countries, so um...

The US Textbook industry single-handedly justifies the existence of Library Genesis (if it requires justification)

Note to studios: there is no amount of potential, unrealised profit that makes it ethical to install malware on another person's computer.

The FTC argued this would happen, it's the court that swallowed Microsoft's tripe. This is the FTC's "I told you, bro!"

Who could have ever guessed that naming different software the same thing would ever come back to bite them

There is an actually moral alternative to opt-out that doesn't have the poor-sampling problem of opt-in: ask for consent explicitly.

DuckDuckGo uses Bing's results

(Possibly hollow)

Probably to get some other benefitof the PR system, such as CI tests

It's amazing to watch the old, rusted machine of antitrust slowly grinding back to life, bit by bit.

Will we ever stop referring to the Web as "the Internet"?

How about MNT Reform or it's Pocket little brother?

They get you

• Full mechanical keyboards, ortholinear if you're into that
• Modern components
• HIGHLY modular and repairable - their main thrust is making messing with your internals accessible
• No sticky goo coating
• Cyberdeck aesthetics (esp the Pocket reform)

They do NOT get you

• Low price - you didn't mention a budget constraint
• Thin. They are chunky kids, though certainly the Pocket reform has a reasonably portable profile

I've met multiple sites that won't load the unsubscribe page without disabling ad blockers.

Those get spam listed the same as login walls.

That's leftpad. The package name dispute was over something else, but they pulled all their packages from npm in protest. Turned out leftpad was a transient dependency for a huge swathe of all JavaScript.

Just in case you're not just satirically listing things that are already awful;

Supermarkets increase their "retention" by limiting signage to keep you wandering and avoid "just get that thing and go" shopping. I don't know how common this is, but when I was a kid the major supermarkets had long lists of what items were in each aisle, plus highly visible signs in the aisle to show exactly where each category was. Now days at the major chains those in aisle signs are completely gone, and the categories have been whittled down to a few major categories; most products aren't represented on the sign at all e.g. you have to assume "cake mix/decorating" are in the same aisle as "flour".

Unskippable ads on all pumps are absolutely a thing that are getting more popular. Mobil is particularly bad for it in my experience.

If anyone is considering how to avoid this on their own site: https://indieweb.org/URL_design

Avoiding spyware doesn't mean you're opposed to labor-saving technology

Neither does being a Luddite

They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.”

Ironic slang is just slang that hasn't grown up yet.

What do the exclamation points mean?

I appreciate the ambiguity in your comment created by the missing pronoun.

This article seems to have a bizarre assumption all the way through that the schools must use Microsoft 365.

Obviously Microsoft is failing morally and probably legally (what else is new), but the schools also have a moral and legal requirement to choose software which protects the rights of the children. Microsoft is sort of right in the way they surely didn't mean; schools have the responsibility to not use Microsoft 365.

Socks are technically underwear

Simulink has a concept called Test Harnesses which are models that isolate individual blocks for testing. The tests themselves are then driven programmatically from MATLAB

There are a few PCB drones out there.

Most PCBs, even really cheap ones, are made from FR-4, which is a very robust fibreglass. It's would be a pretty decent choice for drone components in general.

Not drones, but Carl Bugeja on YouTube makes some fascinating machines almost entirely out of PCBs (although he uses a lot of flex PCBs, not just FR-4).

There's a video introduction that talks a little about it and shows a bit of usage.

The canonical proprietary version of this is the SpaceMouse.

These are used in concert with a traditional mouse, with the 3d mouse being used for navigation of the 3d space. They have six degrees of freedom (as in, you can rotate in any axis or you can push it in any axis) so you can rotate and you can pan any which way with full control.

If you've ever gotten frustrated in a 3d program trying to figure out the correct sequence of rotations to get to your preferred view, that's the use case the 3d mouse addresses.

PS/2 does not have a key rollover limit

What does "cookie-cutter" mean in this context?

Did you... try?

I've seen far too manny error messages claiming I did something I most certainly didn't do. This seems like a good way to make those far more prolific.

Plus you turn it on/off by clacking the eyes together.

This took me straight from disinterested to sold

It's a watermelon. It's used as a symbol for Palestine due to it's alignment with the colours of the flag

For technical purposes that need to handle both you can just disambiguate it with "Letter (new)" and "Letter (work or school)"

While that is a definition that's used by some, I would argue The OSI's Open Source Definition is more widely used within the field

Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?

Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “MuskIsDumb@cah.lol” as your referrer, and they'll be legally obligated to pay us $47. The more people who do this, the more Musk money we’ll get to un-fuck America.

If he doesn’t pay up, we’ll sue him again.

If it doesn't fulfill the requirements it's not any kind of solution
