I fully agree with the message. I downvoted for the format.


Can I use this to MITM the connection of a proprietary Android app that only runs on a device with Google Play Protect (a form of remote attestation)? And then reverse engineer the API?
Probably varies by area then. Around here, every washer I’ve ever owned (or used at an apartment complex) had two water lines going into it.

It’s still theft. Nobody gave permission for their work to be used as training data.
Oral estrogen has a higher risk of DVT than others. If it doesn’t go away in a day, or you have any symptoms of stroke, please treat it as an emergency. If you start coughing up blood, it’s also an emergency, but it’s probably too late.


You can’t. Most apps resist being backed up. Seedvault is the most often recommended backup tool for Android, but it only backs up apps that allow themself to be backed up. You’ll get your SMS messages, call history, contacts, and files visible in file manager. But most apps, and almost all proprietary apps will not have their app data backed up.


It depends on the type of work. The proper length of copyright for books or films should long, about 20 to 25 years, because they remain relevant for longer. But software should be shorter, about 7 years.
The purpose of copyright is to enhance the public domain, not to create a business model. How well is 75 year old software enhancing the public domain? If any software has even entered the public domain through copyright expiration, what use is that software today? At best it’s an archeological curiosity, but more likely it’s no use at all.
I’ve had to use these before, when I lived in a dormitory that had frequent false fire alarms. The fire exit stairs took us to a series of one-way locking doors, ending with a “Do not exit, alarm will sound” door. At that point, even if we felt like it might be a false alarm, we had no choice but to go through the door. The first several times, it set off a weak alarm, but did not appear to be wired into anything else in the building. After a few times, it stopped going off, I assume because its battery died. It’s nobody’s job to replace those batteries, so they stay dead.


This post is satire. Take a look at the

Nobody likes PTSD. This is a parody of being pro-war.


A lot of people fall off roofs during solar installation. But that’s not an externality – these people know the risks, they can ask for higher pay, or choose to wear their PPE properly. The deaths from fossil fuels are mostly externalities.
IMO, that’s not a digital signature. That’s a normal signature on a computer. Digital signatures involve cryptography. For example, OpenPGP.
I think this is a better representation of Debian (the beard is important). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ken_Thompson,_2019.jpg



Shadows of Doubt. These achievements are not rare because they are difficult, but because they are tedious. Most of the ones listed here are just repeatedly eating a food item, which costs almost nothing (1200 credits for solving a typical case, 700 for an easy case; 12 credits to buy a Croque Monsieur, the most expensive food in the game.)
Rat Catcher: Solve a murder while your PoV is at the ground, but you can crawl up walls, and also nobody will talk to you. This achievement is rare mostly because this game mode was added a few years after this game peaked in popularity.
Spare No One: KO everyone in town, in a game where you are discouraged from using violence. Finding a katana and knocking out everyone you see on the street is easy enough. The real challenge here is keeping track of everyone. Some NPCs glitch out and get stuck in their houses, never go outside, and never come to work. You’ll have to identify them, find out where they live, and hunt them down. Some NPCs have accented characters in their names, making them difficult to search for on the computers in game, which do not allow you to type such characters.
If you make a case board to keep track of everyone, the case board takes exponentially increasing time to open for each person you pin onto it. By the end, it was taking me about 5 seconds each time I opened it. That was in a custom procedurally generated town of the smallest possible size – it would be worse on any of the stock towns.
Out of the Red: pay off 10,000 to a loan shark in 1,000 credit increments, one payment per day. Raising 10,000 can be done in half a day easily. Paying it off takes for ever. You can’t make payments early. Each one-day wait takes a few minutes, since the game has to simulate every NPC in town. And remember to turn off the procedurally generated murders, because otherwise your loan shark might get killed, and you can’t make payments any more (it happened to me, and I had to load a save.)


Seedvault doesn’t backup apps whose developer chooses not to let you back them up. It doesn’t backup the encrypted keystore or the tee. It misses a lot, because Android fundamentally puts developers above users.
Libertarian. Definitely.


The people emitting the carbon dioxide should pay for it, since climate change is responsible for much of the fire.

Gateway has multiple IP addresses, from .1 through .10 . (I used to have multiple OpenWRT servers for different things, but consolidated them all into a single rackmount server.)
