Oh, that's all, is it.

Yep, you're right 1 hour max /s.

Browsers are the most insecure attack surface of any aspect of modern computers. Apple's s/w is built using standard engineering decision-making - can we rely on X being there ? Why yes we can, so we can delegate this function to that system framework which we've tested is all secure.

Except that all breaks down when someone installs a 3rd party browser. Now the security model of the system depends on the security model of the installed browser, and that's just not acceptable. It may be the user's fault that they installed but you can guarantee that Apple will be holding the can at the end of any argument over why their nudes are now all over the internet.

According to the most recent BSA Global Software Survey in 2018 ( https://gss.bsa.org/wp-content... ), Russia is reported to be at 62% percent unlicensed software. Russia continues to account for the largest dollar share of unlicensed software in Central and Eastern Europe.

This is just going to further drive this figure upward.

Here is the actual paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.14032

P.S. Even though itÃ(TM)s not my thing, I bet FacebookÃ(TM)s software can handle iPad apostrophes. Hey Slashdot, perhaps you should ping them for technical advice? Then again, I donÃ(TM)t mean to rush you. ItÃ(TM)s only 2021. WeÃ(TM)ve only had web boards for about 30 years. These things take time IÃ(TM)m sure.

Ever consider that maybe the problem is that the iPad apparently can't produce standard ASCII apostrophes? 99% of the posts here have no problem with apostrophes, only those that are "Sent from my iPhone".

I have been using a web browser (since Mosaic / Arena) for over 30 years. Never in that time have I wanted the URL bar (and by extension the tabs bar since they're intimately linked) to be any other place than right there at the top of the window in plain view. The URL-bar/swipe-control is a heinous change that ruins literal decades of muscle memory and expectation.

It is not a "good thing", from my perspective.

For similar reasons, I loathe tab groups as well. I like the way tabs worked *anyway*. I have yet to see a single use-case (for me, and how I use them) that works as well as leaving the frigging things alone and letting me manage them as I see fit.

And yes, hiding UI is bloody annoying. I still haven't managed to work out how to use the phone in portrait mode properly yet. Instead of instant availability and instant access to what I actually want to do, I now have to study the damn thing and figure out how the hell I'm supposed to do

This Safari redesign is the first time I'm genuinely thinking of ditching Safari. It's that bad.

And in the meantime, his bitcoins may now be worth $100 million. After his restitution and prison term, the remaining $91.7 million will go quite far in Ukraine.

Rupert Murdoch now owns the National Geographic Magazine and TV show. I think there is still a non-profit arm that pays for explorations etc. (which provides the material for the magazine and TV show, presumably benefiting Murdoch). Even so, people who donated large sums of money and even their estates before the takeover are probably are probably not too happy (or are spinning in their graves).

My guess is that they have bought into Ayn Rand's rhetoric (sounds like a paraphrase of the John Galt speech in Atlas Shrugged).

"The police are just passing along Elsevier BS, trying to shut down access to it however they can. ... There are no SciHub accounts, no logins, no credentials of any kind."

Isn't making false reports to the police against the law?

The author (mytek) made an 8-bit motherboard ... and then he made another one that fits into the XL disk drive chassis (so it fits with the rest of the XL/XE time peripherals).

Exercise: If a house is 2000ft large, and a roomba is 1ft large, how many times does the house need to be cleaned with a random walk till every sq ft has been cleaned?

Model the house as a circle with 2000 sq ft area. Its radius is thus about 25.23 feet. A 2D random walk with 1 sq ft steps takes about (4/pi)*n^2*(log n)^2 steps to cover the room with radius n ft, or about 8447 steps when n=25.23. So it is about 8447/2000 = 4.2 times less efficient than doing the whole room without repeating a spot. See http://annals.math.princeton.e...

To coin a phrase: “I wish I had mod-points” - orange man is indeed bad. Let’s see if this goes down too...

Those hand warmers that fit into your mittens use the same principle, turning iron into rust, with additional ingredients to slow down the reaction so it will last ~10 hrs. I use them all the time in the winter because I have Reynaud syndrome and as a result am susceptible to chilblains (bad blisters that last for weeks).

Occasionally the packs don't work, maybe because the packaging developed a leak or something. It turns out that a magnet will attract the good ones (with iron) but not the bad ones (with rust). Fortunately bad ones are rare; I think I've seen only a couple over several years that were not past the expiry date. But a magnet lets you avoid an unpleasant surprise outdoors, as well as letting you know if ones that have expired are still good.

Well, the Higgs boson lifetime is said to be 156 yoctoseconds = 0.156 zeptoseconds, which is over 1000 times shorter than 247 zeptoseconds. I wonder how they measured that. With 3 digit resolution, to boot.
