Springcleaning

I was one of those kids, school was boring and slow, finished the school library within year, got into arguments with teachers. Was not allowed to skip years, it was a drag, I skipped school and did other stuff. They did tried to forbid me to do high school exams because my school grades were low (missed a lot of tests and would drag down their stats). Did the exam anyways and had the second highest score of the country.

Not every kid is the same, there needs to be a place for kids that are (far) ahead.

Maybe I should have said for MacOS, it does not show that option (also not in the advanced options). The ability to play videos in sync side-by side would be perfect to visually compare encoding quality.

Congratulations!!!

Three feature requests: 1) Make it possible to disable the playlist feature completely. 2) Make it possible to start it a second time with another video concurrently. 3) Make it possible to use a list of regex on subtitles, to filter out SDH and other stuff I don't need.

What is the better quality? 720p BluRay or 1080p Amazon Video streaming?

Worse than a game crash is your data.

It is incomprehensible that there are still NAS devices being sold without ECC support.

Synology took a step in the right direction to offer prosumer devices with ECC but it is not really advertised as such. It is actually difficult to find which do have ECC and which ones don't.

We had to build our own copy protection after dongles were hacked and too fussy. Weak bits were copyable using the CopyIIPC option board.

So what we resorted to is using a needle scratching the inner most tracks of the floppy on random locations. Writing those tracks with a pattern and record where the pattern was broken. While executing the program it did write that track and read that track, the locations where the pattern was broken (two tracks, begin and end) was the key that was used to decrypt some parts of the further into the program.

To my knowledge it was never hacked and every disk was unique, we kept the keys for each customer (was part of the serial) so if it was hacked we could trace it to the leaker.

Did you know you can use old.reddit.com in desktop mode? You can also use the Apollo App instead.

I even use a browser extension to make sure that 100% of the time old.reddit.com is being shown, even when linked from another site or when I have deleted my cookies.

This one will buffer (to a certain extent) and only flush when cellular is on and cellular traffic is already occurring. When cellular is on but cellular data is disabled there is still cellular data traffic at OS level, I expect more advanced spyware will travel with that data-stream. Also that indicator and a switch is just software, if you have full control over the OS, you can change that.

Only Wi-Fi, no SSL.

Some info only goes cellular, the only way to capture that is using a hotspot which simulates the normal network.

The real sneaky spyware I found only goes over cellular and hides itself by using double encrypted SSL traffic to AWS endpoints.

"WD Red HDDs have for many years reliably powered home and small business NAS systems" Yes, the non SMR ones."

You are misleading the consumer and should have called it WD Pink, because the SMR drives are a totally different product.

"If you have purchased a WD Red drive, please call our customer care if you are experiencing performance or any other technical issues. We will have options for you. We are here to help."

Other than refunding or providing a replacement non-SMR drive without extra cost to the consumer are the only options.

It was real and most important issues got resolved because of the large investments. But there was also a lot of scammy consultancy going on.

I remember visiting a smaller hotel in the UK early 2000 where the check-in terminal had a Y2000 Approved sticker with a serial number. That made sense, but in the room everything with a plug, including the hair dryer had such a sticker.

Is a messed up and corrupt organization anyways.

Taiwan was one of the founders and replaced by China and Taiwan is forbidden to join the meetings. China is leading and they now have full control over the worlds flight data.
