That’s pretty old news

How does this even make sense mechanically? What would it mean when one system of law bans another system of law?

So then the bottom middle picture in this post is also probably shopped?

I think the one they used in the story is the canonical name, if I click their name above the comment it links me to a profile with the name they used in the story in the url.

If you’re a dual national, you already have two passports.
That assumption is mistaken, and where the issues likely come from in practise.

It uses a more generic shell linking method, that doesn’t just load web URLs but also file paths, including to executables.

Dude… the way you got piled on with stupid replies. Sometimes comment sections just go the wrong way even if you are completely right. My sympathies.
- Comment on Twenty four US states are now considering legislation to allow small, plug-in solar power systems that connect directly into a wall socket. 1 week ago:
“now considering”? Bit late no? We’ve had that for over 10 years, up to 600W they don’t need approval
- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 1 week ago:
There’s tons of search focused ones, which is weird to me. If you want a normal layout with folders then I suggest you go with Lawnchair.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 1 week ago:
No, I never had a Mac.
Doom and Lemmings on MS-DOS and Anno 1602 and Age of Empires on Windows 95 or 98 were the first few titles my dad showed me on the old PC I got to use. He showed me how to interrupt the Windows boot so I could launch the DOS games instead.
I’m not sure if Doom was just on there because he played it, because this must have been in 1997 or 1998 or maybe 1999, a few years after it released anyway.

Oh man, when I played The Last of Us on my flatmates Playstation because it wasn’t on PC at the time, I died like four times to the first few tutorial zombies. It really took a while for me to pick it up enough for even that kind of simple PvE action.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 1 week ago:
Back in my day we played Doom without any analog inputs, and strafing required a key combination so the sideway arrow keys would strafe instead of turn.
That said I did enjoy Doom the Dark Ages with my mouse earlier today, haha.
- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 1 week ago:
I’m interested in this brand and their Gen 6. I kind of wish I was in the market for a phone. Unfortunately I bought a used Pixel 6 three years ago and everything is just fine with it 😄

There is an artist around who spoofs the big app interfaces to make these even worse thought experiments. I’m guessing it’s one of his or hers. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name / handle.

In the old post from when the update was released a Heise article is linked, that contains indicators of compromise, and in turn links to Kevin Beaumont for the details of his analysis:

I just know they said from the start that you could buy three years at escalating prices. Then later, closer to the original end of support they made the first year of ESU free for users in the EEA, and then they made it buy-able for reward points or something like that for everyone.
tells me that free ESU support for private users will end in Oct 26
You’re probably right on that
- Comment on Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany 3 weeks ago:
The entire article is based on a false premise:
With ESU, you can still get security updates and minor fixes or improvements, but the catch is that extended support ends on October 13, 2026.
Not true, there are three years of ESU updates available.
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 3 weeks ago:
Nowhere in the given scenario do secret keys leak.
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 3 weeks ago:
I understand perfectly well, it’s you who doesn’t.
If the access happens on the client which is the endpoint of the e2e-encryption then it doesn’t say anything about the e2e-encryption working or not working. On the endpoint the content is always available decrypted, for user consumption
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 3 weeks ago:
Even if that’s all true, it’s not evidence that the end to end encryption is broken.
That sort of debug access could simply be included in the clients.
- Comment on New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into Gasoline 3 weeks ago:
Grid scale storage doesn’t strike me as an area of application where high energy density is important, so wouldn’t batteries with less conversion loss do an overall better job? I think grid scale Lithium-ion battery stores have become somewhat common.
I’d see gasoline from CO2 capture of interest more for airplanes, drones, ships, maybe even certain modes of long haul terrestrial transport where weight and volume is important.
- Comment on Microsoft Windows 365 goes down the day after Microsoft celebrates 'reimagining the PC as a cloud service that streams a Cloud PC' 3 weeks ago:
The article speaks of a “Windows 365 suite of productivity apps” but that doesn’t exist.
There is the “Microsoft 365” suite of office apps, and there is the “Windows 365” offer of a Virtual Machine as SaaS.
It seems the thing that went down was the former and the ill timed announcement concerned the latter.
- Comment on New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into Gasoline 3 weeks ago:
Still a good idea for specific cases though. An example from current news close to me: We have line ships on lake Zürich that can’t be electrified because either they are too old to sustain a major internal rework or, for some, they can’t carry the battery weight.
For a case like that I’d prefer if they put some CO2 capture stations up to keep running the ships rather than scrapping them prematurely.
… if the capture stations work, that is. Can’t trust the word of a startup too much.

- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
I’m just wondering how many devices still use dedicated TPMs, instead of the ones integrated in the SoC by AMD and Intel. Sniffing a bus inside the SoC must be significantly harder or impossible.
