Comment Re:So the USB usage violates standards? That' ille (Score 1) 60

That raises an interesting point. DVDs are encrypted, but for all intents and purposes are DRM-free these days because the code to decrypt them was released decades ago. Bluray is somewhere in the middle, the encryption being crackable but still needing some effort when a new disc with new keys is released.

From a right to repair standpoint, is it allowed to have some encryption that might prevent casual copying or cheating, but is also easily bypassed by repairers and archivists?

Submission + - FaceTime in iOS 26 will freeze your call if someone starts undressing (9to5mac.com)

AmiMoJo writes: iOS 26 is a packed update for iPhone users thanks to the new Liquid Glass design and major updates for Messages, Wallet, CarPlay, and more. But another new feature was just discovered in the iOS 26 beta: FaceTime will now freeze your call’s video and audio if someone starts undressing.

When Apple unveiled iOS 26 last month, it mentioned a variety of new family tools coming for child accounts. One of those announcements involved a change coming to FaceTime to block nudity. "Communication Safety expands to intervene when nudity is detected in FaceTime video calls, and to blur out nudity in Shared Albums in Photos."

However, at least in the iOS 26 beta, it seems that a similar feature may be in place for all users—adults included.

I don't like it. They leach off our gravity.

"These freeloader comets need to be deported back to their home star! This is Sparta! I mean Solar System! Other stars are not sending their best comets; these comets have mental, have virus, catastrophe our grammar, flatten dogs and cats, and nobody wants them! If you think the Dino's had it bad! At least Dino's gave us gasoline, God's Liquid Gold [sniff].

They are poisoning the ions and isotopic ratios of our system, damaging our prosperous pro-Solar culture! Even Jupiter wants to leave now! We cannot even tell the gender of these degenerate lumps, so sad. I and I alone have the power and means to stop this horrendous invasion of these unwanted shit-hole clumps of useless dust and smelly gas. Make the Solar System Great Again! [claps]

I never said that.

I hate the fucking ads. They're one reason, among many, to avoid going, and if you do go, to go some 20-25 minutes late.

The only problem with going late is that you do take some risk with there being a long line to get popcorn. Fortunately, I haven't seen that in the last few movies I went to.

I know this is super 'not-for-slashdot' community, but damn, I love this shit. Imagine everyone who posted antivax stuff online going to prison. Everyone on twitter saying the 'n-word' or harassing trans people going to prison.

Except, none of those things are crimes, so why would you go to prison for doing those activities?
