Players of classic roguelike games? ;)

GPLv3 added language which specifically requires that GPLv3 software embedded in products be distributed with "Installation Information" explaining how modified versions of that software can be installed. It is not at all clear how this would apply to software in an immutable, signed system volume. This language was not present in GPLv2.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html#section6

(There are other issues with GPLv3 which make it a dubious choice for companies like Apple, but this one is particularly problematic.)

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Domain-validated certificates already existed, and were fairly commonplace, before Let's Encrypt. What was different about LE was that their certificates were free.

Most independent site owners couldn't obtain an EV certificate even if they wanted to - the process effectively requires that the applicant be a business.

Anyone who has done any work with hardware can confirm that neither of these things is ever true. :(

> Apple doesn’t want to distribute them

Apple can't distribute them - coreutils is GPLv3, which is incompatible with Apple's immutable system volume.

Probably not, then. The /pkg hierarchy on macOS doesn't look like that at all - there's no /pkg/bin, only /pkg/env/global/bin, where /pkg/env/global is a symlink to a subdirectory of /pkg/inv/envs.

Does pkgsrc use the env, etc, inv, and var subdirectories of /pkg seen here?

And the Public Suffix List didn't even attempt to handle .name.

In domain registration parlance, that is the registry (e.g. Verisign for .com). A registrar is one of the companies which intermediates between the registry and the users who obtain domain registrations (e.g. GoDaddy).

That sounds dangerous - you should probably see a doctor. ;)

It's left fairly ambiguous by Frank Herbert's books. The Jihad is implied to have taken place over ten thousand years before the beginning of Dune - it's ancient history to everyone involved*, so it's only natural that the details are a little hazy.

*: except Leto II, and he doesn't say much about it

> TLS 1.0’s CBC chaining made IVs predictable and enabled the BEAST attack. That’s a documented protocol weakness, allegedly put in there by US state actors on purpose.

This is errant nonsense. At the time SSL/TLS were designed, using CBC with block ciphers was generally considered best practice - it was not at all an unusual choice.

You did, in fact, read a different story. You're thinking of the story told in the books by Brian Herbert and KJA - which were a distinctly pulpier take on the Dune universe than Frank Herbert's.

That could be a valid suspicion if the RNG chosen was particularly obscure. drand48 isn't - it's part of the standard C library.

Doubly so if they were motorized toys, so when the motors kicked in, the battery voltage would droop and make the pitch shift even more...

> If you take down a data center it isn't gone forever.

Given the active sanctions against Russia, as well as high worldwide prices for components like memory and storage, rebuilding these datacenters is going to be an exceptionally slow and costly process. And I can't imagine Yandex is going to be eager to rebuild immediately given the potential for a "double-tap".

I'm not sure that's a great example. Even though Microsoft lost, it had no real consequences - the company was not forced to split, MSIE remained a core component of Windows, and Netscape was still forced out of the market because they couldn't compete with free MSIE. By 2003 or so, MSIE was up to ~95% of the market.

Not really. We have physical proof of the compromised Ledger devices; no one has ever presented any specific evidence that Supermicro hardware was similarly compromised.

On a similar note, but in the other direction: vinyl sales (re-)overtook CDs about five or ten years ago.

"If I Had A Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Someone Pay" [1]?

But yes - my impression was always that the Doom games mostly focused on having cool levels, with plot as an afterthought. Marathon gave more of a sense of the levels having been designed around a plot.

Precisely. Pixel clocks in van Eck's day were perhaps a few MHz, and the image was displayed by firing a modulated electron beam at a sheet of glass (i.e. a lot of power being manipulated in a fairly unconfined manner). Modern displays can have pixel clocks above 1 GHz, the amount of power being switched is much less, and that power is used in a very small space (the thickness of the LCD). Even given that receiving technologies have improved as well, the odds are against the eavesdropper.

In fact, without some fairly new (and poorly supported) extensions, it's impossible for an application running in a terminal to distinguish between ^J and a "real" press of the return key. The same goes for tab vs. ^I, Esc vs. ^[, and so on.

Are you sure that's necessary? The STM32H7 has a decent fractional PLL.

Intel macOS is only marginally supported by upstream Homebrew:

> Telegram still doesn't have sane support for .webp, it treats them as stickers.

TBH, this one is just a terrible technical decision that Telegram made ages ago ("we use WEBP to represent stickers, therefore all WEBPs are stickers"). It's not the only weird file-format decision they made; see also "all short MP4 videos with no audio are actually GIFs". :)

Similarly, someone I know set up http://factoryfloorsweepings.com/ to redirect to AliExpress. :)

Non-tech companies are getting sucked in, too - see, for example, the applications for .airliquide, .capitalgroup, .dinebrands, .massimodutti, .newbalance, .stubhub, .warhammer, .zarahome, and so on.

From what I've seen thus far, most brand TLDs never get used. (The only significant exception that comes to mind is .google, and even they never really committed to using it.) Who's been going around convincing these companies to apply for this round?

No. It's effectively a JIT.

(It saves copies of translated binaries behind the scenes, but it still behaves like a JIT overall.)
