or blocked updates
This in particular. Windows intentionally destabilises itself if you prevent it from updating or powering off when it realises there is an update available.
This could be non-malicious, such as refusing to collect spyware reports from a potentially infected box, and the box needs to connect to MS to function properly, It could be a tool to force people to “reboot to solve your issues”. Hard to tell without running afoul of the Computer Misuse Act.
Anime source?
Edit: nvm, found it.
Actual edit: Apparently I’m slow with the joke. K-On! Manga about high school music club.
True. Though remarkable is still remarkable.
Notably, the timeline post-discovery is still stellar, regardless of Microsoft/GitHub cock-blocking analysis.
Imagine finding a backdoor within 45 day of it’s release into a supply chain instead of months after infection. This is a most astoundingly rapid discovery.
Fedora 41 and rawhide, Arch, a few testing and unstable debian distributions and some apps like HomeBrew were affected. Not including Microsoft and other corporations who don’t disclose their stack.
What a time to be alive.
Unless you happen to have a friend that wants to get in on it, you’re basically always picking a stranger.
At risk of sounding tone deaf to the situation that caused this: that’s what community is all about. The likelihood you know the neighbors you’ve talked to for years is practically nil. Your boss, your co-workers, your best friend and everyone you know, has some facet to them you have never seen. The unknown is the heart of what makes something strange.
We must all trust someone, or we are alone.
Finding strangers to collaborate with, who share your passions, is what makes society work. The internet allows you ever greater access to people you would otherwise never have met, both good and bad.
Everyone you’ve ever met was once a stranger. To make them known, extend blind trust, then quietly verify.
It’s all in good fun. No need to spoil the joke.
4 Macaronis in a bit of an ounce.
8 Macaronis in a full ounce.
On the contrary.
KB = 1,000 bytes and MB = 1,000,000 is empirical.
KiB = 1024 bytes or 210 and MiB = 1,048,576 or 220 is Metric.
Remember, empirical is the miserable system the rest of the world abandoned because it made math and science difficult. KB makes storage miserable, never being clear whether your have the exact space your box claims it does. Please continue to FreeTM yourself from British “nonsense”, while the rest of the world evolves.
TDLR: “He’s only getting paid 300K USD! 800K was last year’s bonus. The remaining 192 million is what he’s being promised if the stock hits certain numbers.”
Pedant decries mild click bait that conflates salary with planned compensation.
I think you mean tailor. As in, clothes fitted to you.
Very. Just have a good enough internet connection and hardware to download and run models. Interrupted downloads must start over. 4-41 GB. Otherwise find the source, use wget, and download to the correct folder.
Free as in freedom, not free as in beer.
GPLv3 allows you to sell your work for money, but you still have to hand over the code your customers purchased. You buy our product, you own it, as is. Do whatever you like with it, but if you sell a derivative, you better cough up the new code to whoever bought it.
Most proprietary companies will give very steep discounts or even free licences to schools and universities. If you introduce an entire generation of students to your software, students will gravitate toward what they’re familiar with when they enter the “real world”.
A tau. Moral engineers don’t sidestep their morals.
typeof(null) == ‘object’
Because some people think planning an entirely new language should take less than 2 weeks. 10 days, in this case.

When I’ve spoken with people who say they ‘want to code, but don’t know how to start,’ dollars to doughnuts it’s the same problem as wanting to learn hacking, artistry, or science. (I think the original comic was drawing.)
There isn’t a solid reason for why they want to learn X, the wanters just think it would be cool to *be an X-er", and want anyone to hand it to them.
The people who want Y, and need to learn X to accomplish it will take the first step. Though many won’t follow through if goal Y is too high. I’ve pointed people to the resources to learn X countless times. It’s only the people who want Y, and are willing to learn X to achieve it, that succeed. Hacker, Coder, Engineer, Artist-er, and on and on. You can lead a horse to water, but not teach it how to drink.
Ah, forgive me. I’m referring to the latest and most miserable versions. 10 will noticeably prevent results in the search area, if the machine doesn’t power off and is not updated for too long. Among other things. It takes around a week of ignoring an update.
It’s likely much the same with 11.
