IIRC all you need for that is a 555 timer, a battery, and a coat hanger.

Theoretically, you could do whatever processing you need using the user’s CPU and RAM and then send the result back over the Internet. Not saying that’s what’s happening, of course, but it’s not completely ridiculous.

Of all the search engines that SHOULD have turned into an AI project, it still amazes me that it wasn’t Ask Jeeves.

Man, I loved my iRiver. Even though it had dogshit storage, the ability to record songs off the radio was so worth it.

Do you have a good tutorial I can look at? As much as I like torrents, you’ve sold me on Usenet.

Yeah, but what about New York? Their implementation of the law is arguably more egregious, requiring actual ID verification for anything with an internet connection.

For real. The cost for 4 toolheads almost makes it not worth getting in light of the cost of 8.

I’d still get it if I had the money, though.

At the time, Wayland lacked the capacity to even pass keystrokes from one application to another, let alone track mouse movements. I’m sure everything else was tracked, but mouse activity was not something they were capable of watching.

On this site, they are one and the same. Judging from the website, though, it’s just a conference about Ruby on Rails.

As far as I could tell, they weren’t when I worked there. Then again, I was the only person I knew who had a Linux workstation, and one running Wayland at that, so it may have been present on the Mac and Windows machines and I just never knew about it.

I miss the skeuomorphism of the really old versions. I loved that the game center looked like a poker table, for instance.

Sure boss. I’m running pfsense as we speak, so like I said, you can access the public internet just fine with a homemade router.

I assure you there are multiple people on this thread alone that have this setup. It’s not like you somehow can’t access the public internet once you’ve got a homemade router.

You could probably spread the exfil across a botnet of some kind, since I imagine the data will survive being chunked.

Well yeah, nobody wants third degree burns.

I think there’s a free trial of the HiFi version, which is what I have. Sound quality is significantly better than other services, since I’m pretty sure they use FLAC when it’s available, and high-bitrate MP3 (I think) for their low-bandwidth mode. Either way, their lowest-quality encoding settings are better than Spotify’s old top-tier ones.

It does, though it’s not exactly front and center on certain apps. For instance, in my car, I had to scroll most of the way down the main screen to find the radio stations. They are very good, though. They give a decent mix of stuff you’ve favorited and things you’ve never heard before, with the notable exception of the Steven Wilson radio station, which plays almost exclusively bands that Steven Wilson has been in, which alone is more than enough to fill up a whole radio station.

Yeah, but that money actually goes to the artists. It’s got one of the best rates for that out of all the streaming services.

Tidal is quite good for music. The selection is missing stuff at times, but that usually doesn’t last long since I’m pretty sure that only happens when there’s some kind of contract renegotiation or something.
