  • AliExpress runs silent WebAudio fingerprinting that breaks Bluetooth multipoint

    Jump

  • Yeah, a lot of these fingerprinting capabilities seem like things that should be behind permission requests, if not outright disabled entirely.

    Like ok, I get that if someone wanted to make a browser-based audio editing tool, it might be useful for javascript to be able to sample the output side after effects have been applied. But I don't want every single fucking website to have that capability by default. I'm not even sure I want websites to be able to play audio at all without permission.

    By default, it should be a one way pipeline. Whatever they put into the pipeline gets displayed or played but they can't see any of the system-specific results. I'd prefer the standard be designing pages to work with any resolution instead of letting them query the exact pixel dimensions, which varies per device and I suspect fingerprinting was the reason they were designed like that in the first place.

  • Roblox argues 8-year-old waived rights in wrongful death lawsuit

    Jump

  • There should be standard TOS clauses that are approved based on their legality and enforceability that click or use based "contracts" should be limited to. Or at the very least, they should need to be legally ratified rather than only looked at closely if legally challenged.

    Like that whole "you waived our liability for real world shit by using Disney+" should have resulted in the disbarment of any lawyers that wrote, approved, and tried to argue it in court when it came up and punitive damages to Disney for even trying.

  • An Engineer's Old Cooking Trick Is Going Viral, Divides the Internet

    Jump

  • You'll have to go in to meals not knowing if you should expect what you cooked to delight or destroy your dinner guests. You can add a 😀, 😐, 😒, 🤮, 💀, 💨, 💤, or 💥 to the recipe card, depending on how it goes.

  • NSFW

    Do you have any funny NSFW/sexual experiences?

    Jump

  • Then you try to reset but any time you try to say the line, someone laughs and gets everyone else going. Even if 9/10 people manage to hold it together, that 10th person giggling sets everyone else off. And then one of the guys might lose his boner and you need to do some more foreplay to get everyone going again to reset. Can turn what should have been just a quick 2h session into a multi-day experience.

    Not that I'm complaining or anything.

  • Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US

    Jump

  • Everyone? The group of people that includes those who can't use their computer after their desktop icons get sorted?

    It still takes some skills, but those skills might just be "desoldering chips to stick them in a chip reader device" and doing that on the storage chips. Or maybe tapping a trace to read the signals that are sent over it to grab a key or something. "Not hard" doesn't mean "you don't need skill to do it", it means "someone who has some skills won't have difficulty applying them".

  • I don't get why people use that one version of solar where essentially the power company gets most of the benefit because they buy the generated power from you at wholesale and sell it by to you at retail and, as you said, you can't even use it when the power goes out.

    Though do you know if there's automated systems that take both solar/battery and the grid as input and do load balancing such that it automatically uses the cheaper power when available and then falls back to the grid for whatever else it needs? Or even better, one that keeps a certain amount of battery power as backup in case the grid goes down?

    Though what I'd really like to see are DC home circuits to avoid the energy loss from first converting DC to AC to match the grid, then converting it back to DC inside the power blocks of your device.

  • but seriously this fast food situation is getting out of control [Tommy Siegel]

    Jump

  • Chain ones maybe but there's absolutely still restaurants that cook food from scratch.

  • Love Wins

    Jump

  • Not doubting what you're saying but just a bit confused because wouldn't electrifying what a lineman works on end up overloading the generator because you're now powering everything up to where the circuit broke upstream? Saying this based on an assumption that the lines service multple households and the generators are designed to keep important things running rather than just replace power plants for even one house, let alone the neighbourhood.

    How do they handle solar setups that are set up specifically to send power into the grid?

  • VLC is Wrongly Blamed for Microsoft Defender's Clumsiness

  • I guess all those outraged users should demand a refund then.

  • And the medieval European clergy/"learned" people carried those mistakes until like the late Renaissance. Somehow their list of infallible entities were the trinity and Socrates.

  • Force them how?

    And it's not like the other meanings of those words have been erased. I don't even think the scientific uses are used more commonly than the every day ones.

    And if someone "corrects" you just say you weren't using the scientific term and they can fuck off with their useless contribution. Or say "hmm" and continue what you were saying if the previous instructions would be destructive to your way of life.

  • Tim Hortons employee won’t face criminal charges in death of customer

  • She knew a shop keeper that would buy anything from her.

  • Everyone's asking, 'Who's Json?', but nobody's asking, 'How's Json?'

    Jump

  • Another guess just based on the terms is it could be a method that throws your json object into a black hole and returns the version of the object that is stretched out to infinity.

    Though that's just an optical illusion, in reality the object would be ripped apart by the gravity or extreme radiation, depending on whether it was a small or large black hole.

    Your guesses are more useful, but I can't fathom what goes on in the mind of JavaScript devs.

  • Sounds like someone bullshitted their way through school to get a technical degree, not realizing that their bullshitting depended on the person they were bullshitting not being good or confident with technology, which gets rarer when you go into a technical career.

  • Haha I have also done an interview where the person had a friend in the room feeding them answers, though this one must have assumed his mic was worse than it was and didn't mute at all, so we could hear the mumbling of answers. To make it even funnier, though, their friend wouldn't have gotten hired either because none of their answers were good.

    I kinda wanted to tell them they should find a smarter friend to help them cheat at interviews but instead just thanked them for their time and ended the interview.

    Though tbh, I wasn't really impressed by any of the new grads from the schools we were looking at. Some of them made me wonder if they learned anything at all about software development during their time at school.
