Notion has been great for me since I started using it back in 2021. Hope they get all the success they deserve.

That being said, I'm honestly disappointed with their overall direction. The main product has not improved much since 2021, except for features I assume are catering to their big enterprise customers.

It's slow, the mobile app has bad UX, the Windows app is a memory hog and I run into issues whenever I build something more complex with it. It's still a great product, but as time passes I look more into alternatives...

Great story, thanks for sharing!

I could even hear an actual radio broadcast coming off my speakers whenever they were powered. Maddening!

Extinguishing a fire is one that comes to mind.

That's for the IoT variant, which is further segmented into incrementally expensive editions depending on the CPU you want to use it with.

And good luck finding somewhere to buy a single license of that. And even then, there's a high chance software you use (browser, IDEs, ...) will not keep getting updates after 2025.

If this was feudal Japan, we'd be seeing seppuku left and right.

> why not just embrace it

Everything-goes sounds fun in theory but in practice it'd just kill the athletes (and the sport, by extension)

It's always fun trying to guess which product Google will sunset next month

> same signature as an important system file

AFAIK important system files on Windows are (or should be) cryptographically signed by Microsoft. And the presence of such signature is one of the parameters fed to the heuristics engine of the AV software.

> How hard would it be to craft a malware that has the same signature as an important system file?

If you can craft malware that is digitally signed with the same keys as Microsoft's system files, we got way bigger problems.

Which ones are those?

May I suggest 「these」 instead?

Ideally you'd have slides purely for presentation, and an accompanying interactive self-contained HTML document for the documentation of the talk.

> Anchor Positioning

Are there selectors for this anchor relationship? e.g. style anchored element when anchor is on :hover

> I'm scared to mount the vhdx right now [...] I have EVERYTHING I need [...] sitting in a chezmoi git repo ON THE VM.

You probably already know but just in case you don't: you can set up a Linux VM with VirtualBox on your Windows and then mount the vhdx (read-only) as an additional disk to extract the stuff you need via shared folders.

I believe your use case is not impacted by the changes proposed in this thread.

Additionally, hard disagree on your conclusions since it's not about being responsible or not; it's about the process of cancelling subscriptions being convoluted, unfriendly and filled with dark patterns.

Here's an alternate proposition: what if you could quickly and easily cancel any unwanted subscriptions directly through your banking app? Right there next to your expenses statements? What if we took it even further such that you could not only cancel right there but even request a refund for unused billing periods?

And taking it to an absurd extreme: what if you suddenly went into a coma and woke up 50 years later to a large bill from a subscription service you didn't use all this time? Was it a lack of personal responsibility?

2 BTC in most of the world is a life changing amount! And there are multiple measures the wannabe criminal could take to minimise exposure risks.

No wonder PII keeps getting leaked and sold all the time...

How much would this leak go for in the darknet?

Have you tried Tree Style Tabs [1]?

Get yourself a router that supports OpenWRT, install that on it and figure out what every configuration option does. Bonus points: setup WPA Enterprise on it and a DNS resolver.

What's stopping a non-complying browser from sending forged attestation tokens? Honest question.

Sounds like BRSKI [1].

> Downvote please comment.

I didn't vote on it but it comes off as a bit confusing to read and understand...

> our office at the time that let everyone to relax and enjoy. If you don't know what you're doing. You're fired. End of. Used to love that office.

I can't tell what office you're talking about but your description doesn't make it seem like a place where people relax and enjoy if you could be easily fired.

> Count the UN, more or less was there.

I have no idea what this means.

1 TB = 930 GiB

The value difference is not because of invisible buffers! Marketing material and usable OS space are measured in different units, but the usable amount of bits in each value is exactly the same.

TL;DR:

- Fake LinkedIn profile gets in touch with the victim, pretending to be an employer.

- Conversation moves to WhatsApp or email.

- Victim receives a Microsoft Word document with malicious macros; or

- Victim is instructed to download and run a malicious executable, "here's your assessment test as part of the interview process".

- Computer is infected.

It doesn't get any more basic than that. I'd go so far as to say that anyone falling for this is not a security researcher, sorry. (at least the technical type, maybe if you're the clueless policy type that has no technical wits).

I'm interested but I have no idea what this actually is, after reading the whole page.

> You can play it as part of a larger event, or with your friends in your living room.

So this is a video game with couch co-op?

> part of a larger event

There's an online mode?

> The USS Voyager Mk II

Is this a simulator that requires you to be in that room from the picture?

Is this like Space Station 13?

Do you know if those alerts can also be set up on Google Admin?

AFAIK part of the reason the lab is there and studies this type of virus is because it's naturally found in the region.

correlation != causation

Come on, it's not about being charitable or maximising profits; it's about scaling a price proportionally to the target audience's purchasing power (similar to discounts for students, et cetera).

> feels kind of cheesy because intuitively you feel like you are getting ripped off [...] and then it brings up some complex ethical questions like "is it stealing to use a VPN

An actually complex ethical question would be "does my country and my predecessors have a hand in making [poor African country] so poor that they can't buy games at 60 dollars?"

You might have some insight using Xposed, but I'm not sure if it works with AndroidTV. Feel free to contact me (email on my profile).

I don't quite get the appeal of replacing a search engine with ChatGPT. It's certainly useful for many use cases [1], but when you're searching for information you likely want some trust signals attached to that information.

When you land on a website that aggregates information (Reddit, Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, et cetera) you have many signals on display that helps you evaluate the quality and trustworthiness: upvotes, comments, user history, edit history, community meta data, and the list goes on. When you ask a question to ChatGPT, you have no idea if it's complete fiction or not, and if you want to check you'll have to end up searching around anyways.

Maybe ChatGPT could eventually stop generating false answers and have metadata attached to the answers it gives, but I wouldn't bet on it unless it grows into much more than just a language model.
