I am big fan of this comment:

"@mariaghiondea , do you have any updates on restoring the extension reviews? The PlatformIO IDE extension is important even for Microsoft itself. See Microsoft leverages PlatformIO for its course "IoT for Beginners"

We have many friends at Microsoft - should we attract them to solve your team's mistakes quickly?"

At the moment the extension is available again for install. So far the history on comments, ratings and versions seem to be lost.

I get this as a hobby but I fail to find any "attack scenarios" where this is relevant. Public keys are the most public thing I can think of. Without a public key you cannot check if a signature is valid. I cannot see any scenario where a person might use its private key to sign something and not wish everybody else to have the corresponding public key to verify it. I wish the author had made some examples when this gets relevant and when I have to design my protocols accordingly.

I think I would love the article but the presentation makes it necessary hard to enjoy.

I would be interested in such a service, but find the website unclear. Especially the points "What do I get exactly?" and "What type of generative models can I use?" leave me with more questions than answers. What service are you offering? Is it the computation power needed for image creation or is google colab used for this? Or is it the work to integrate different generative models into your system? You claim that I can use any model I want and integrate it into your system (from every source). This combined with easy use and no coding skill required seems a too bold claim to deliver on it. Can you elaborate what I am getting?

I use this app and are very happy. For me the selling point was the possibility to backup my profile and therefore all the configured keys.

This is my feeling two. Many times the author tries to say the same thing 20 different times to fill a book. Many ot those books could have been a great 30 minute presentation.

You mean running the same request multiple times should always give you the same results but does not?

At least in some android phones the term factory reset is misleading. If you "only" factory reset, you will need to have access to the original Google account to use the phone afterwards. If you want to sell your phone you need to first disconnect it from your account and then factory reset it.

This is done to prevent selling of stolen phones but due to the bad naming it can be a hassle for legitimate sellers. The website seems not to mention this. At least in the phones I checked.

I had the fist generation Dell XPS developer laptop with Linux. It was a pain in the ass.

One big problem was the resolution. I don't exactly remember why, but I had to take the version with a 4k display to get something else I wanted to have. The installed system came with a wide variety of X hacks and customisation to have a reasonable scaling of the GUI. Using another OS was a nightmare as wead upgrading the system. Every chance in X would destroy some kind of customisation leaving you with hours of research until you found some other unhappy customer that has already fixed this issue. Additionally there were problems with the drivers for the multimedia keys on the keyboard and stuff I don't remember. At least the first generation was a nice piece of hardware with a horrible hack of an OS.

Are those kinds of problems now fixed? The author does not mention that there is (was) a big problem with software support from Dell. So I am not sure if I can trust his review.

The topic on how hard or easy it is to replicate seems to be as fast changing as other information. The first time I read about it, it was deemed to be super easy as all you needed are the two base materials and a vacuum furnace. But with all the drama involved I would not be surprised if the process is actually very complicated.

Is this a regional thing to buy without DRM? I just checked some books from my reading list and many have DRM. Just some examples if you could double check: Double Star Project Hail Marry Children of Time A Memory Called Empire This is How You Lose the Time War

While I know/assume that it will be easy to remove the DRM, I do not want to install Adobe Digital Editions to download the books.

I wish developers would stop with the one or two letter names for their products. In most cases there is already another product with the same name and you just cannot do a websearch for it without a hassle.
