I took it as a joke about the USD/EUR exchange rate ;)

My bad, I thought this would be more informative and less clickbaity!

Just ran into this video and I think it is worth sharing here; especially now with people looking for Arduino alternatives

I remember reading an article about this years ago - a non-transferable FPGA configuration which had some logic that should be unreachable but didn't work without it. Very faschinating but I've not been able to find it since.

I still have a similar 'battery bomb' sitting in my closet because I had the same plans some years ago. Perhaps I should dispose of it before it goes up in smoke

That was such a magical moment

It was very very wholesome when I visited just now :)

Same for me; here is it archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20241001200008/https://proton.me...

Oh hey a fellow ZSA Voyager user! There's dozens of us!

For writing I really enjoy using WriteMonkey

I agree, but so does the article; I quote: "Still, few things last forever, and the market for written tech journalism is not what it once was – nor will it ever be again."

They're afaik owned by the same company, so it makes sense to point people there.

Absolutely not. This stuff happens in a lot of technology groups, custom ROM groups, even a small (but public) board game group got overrun with it once; multiple accounts posting dozens of CSAM videos/images in a minute after joining - kept going for a few weeks.

Because we saw the same accounts pop up in other groups sometimes weeks later, so we started to keep track of the usernames after banning them. If you check their profile it's easy to see that they are active months later.

Telegram is not E2EE (with the exception of phone-only 1-on-1 Secret Chats, which are also questionable security-wise). Telegram has access to everything ever shared on their services, even if users delete it.

Signal by design can't moderate their service. Telegram by design has full access, but doesn't act on it.

Yes they do combat spam, but barely CSAM.

To be fair, anyone that has used Telegram for a while know that this is just a mock option to fool regulators. You can report all you want; zero action is taken. There are dozens of accounts that joined groups I'm in to spam CSAM. We've reported them, kicked/banned them from the group. Months later you can look them up and they're still there and still active. They even post CSAM in their public (visible for everyone on their profile) stories.

Thank you! There was no English article yet when I first posted this.

There is now also https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/telegram-messaging-app-...

This news is also what is making Toncoin go down hard currently: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/toncoin/

Ah, excuse the double post - it seems we posted in the same minute. I'm not sure what is etiquette here (first time I post) so let me know if I should delete it.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41341353 This links to a French news article that explains that there was a warrant for him for 'lack of moderation and cooperation with law enforcement' by Telegram.

I was wondering the same. In my corner of IT, everyone is ditching SAML as 'outdated' over OIDC2 (usually against Azure). It's pretty painless in comparison and seems to require less maintenance - even tho I know the SAML2 spec well.

Agreed, I switched to Krita and it's amazing in comparison.

Also check some of the forks of Deej; some already implement this in a DIY form

As someone who does quite some audio stuff on Windows, using Focusrite Scarlett interfaces - I never encountered issues like that.

On Linux however..

The upload verification afaik requires: - copy of ID - clear photo of self holding up a hand-written sign saying either PornHub or a random phrase that is given

After that they manually compare the ID and photo.

But I can imagine there is going to be a market for verified accounts if access is given this way, and they can't do this process on every login. Plus it will require logins to access content in general, while I think most PH visitors never log in.

I recently (yesterday) for the first time tried various variants to get code completion and refactoring after all the hype, and was quite disappointed in it. Now I mainly develop in C# using VSCode on Windows, which is not the most common platform for things like this I suppose. Most articles I could find were targeted towards macOS and M1/M2 chips.

I tried:

- Continue.dev with local DeepSeek: couldn't get it to work with CUDA easily and my Python experience is close to zero. After over an hour of debugging wild errors and issues I ran into a library that wasn't compiled with CUDA support (which auto-downloaded from the requirements-file) and refused to work, so I gave up.

- Continue.dev with GPT-4 (latest preview which should be less lazy): Still very lazy and slow, and I got tired of having to copy/paste (well, there's a hotkey) everything into the chat window and then missing context. And it preferred giving recommendations over actual code, even when directly instructed to write something.

- Codeium.dev: This seemed very promising right out of the box, but then it started recommending Python code in the middle of a C# project, despite being context aware. I wasn't able to get any useful C# out of it, but it is also not listed in the supported language section so perhaps I should have known better.

- Github Copilot: As a paid premium product and all the hype surrounding it I expected something better here, but it was even worse than Continue.dev with GPT-4. It was incredibly lazy, just gave textual answers instead of code or broad recommendations on how to fix something, or just repeaded what I asked (please provide a method to handle both these cases to remove duplicate code -> oh yes you can indeed write a generic method to handle both these cases; but no actual code, just confirming that it was possible).

Either I did something horrible wrong, or C# is entirely out of scope in these projects, or all the hype is.. People that got lucky? I have no idea. But I was heavily disappointed with my first experiences with this.

I feel Valve is working on that with the Deckard project.

Oddly relevant. A man and his daughter drove a quad over ice and went through it in the Netherlands last weekend, and the girl passed away earlier today. :(

This is the video this post is linking to.

I also enjoyed Ventoy a lot, but recently I had the weird issue that it would fail installing a distro on a somewhat odd industrial system, where Rufus worked fine. It probably did something that the odd UEFI implementation didn't understand.
