- Comment on New tool burns images onto Compact Discs' recording area using ones and zeros — unlike Lightscribe, the technique works on any disc 1 week ago:
I understand it only works with CDs, but does this work with DVD burners, while burning CDs? Or does it require a CD-only burner?
- Comment on A 300-km fully-connected quantum secure direct communication network 1 week ago:
This paper reminds me of the early papers on the “switching protocol” that became ARPANET and, eventually, the world wide web, from the mid 1960s.
- Comment on KDE targets Windows 10 'exiles' claiming 'your computer is toast' 1 week ago:
It was Ubuntu. But it was clunky and in essence just a vm. It was a cool was too try it out, but it was definitely not a long term solution. Ultimately, LiveCDs worked much better at testing it out.
I see what you’re saying in terms of continuation, though, but ntfs kind of sucks. If it’s any consolation, most Linux distros can read ntfs just fine now.
- Comment on Inside the race to find GPS alternatives 1 week ago:
Scifi has quantum positioning. We should develop yhsy. I bet ai will help
- Comment on Microsoft Authenticator now warns to export passwords before July cutoff 2 weeks ago:
I’m not talking about standard breaches. I’m talking about security laziness. If you want to trust them, go for it. As for me, I choose to distrust their security practices due to their long history of security laziness and neglect, that continues to this day.
- Comment on Microsoft Authenticator now warns to export passwords before July cutoff 2 weeks ago:
Not speaking about the evil empire bit at all, actually (though they are). More so of the security aspect. They’re known for cutting corners on security to the point that their security neglect has created the situations needed to cause some of the greatest security vulnerabilities worldwide. Read up on EternalBlue as a good segue.

trusted company to whom I could rely on for my security
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic…

Executive order! Ever heard of it??
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 2 weeks ago:
Just sounds like Windows is slowly turning into a web app altogether
- Comment on Tech CEOs are using AI to replace themselves / CEOs from Zoom and Klarna used AI avatars while reporting earnings 3 weeks ago:
In their defense, they’re probably one of the only employees that actually can be replaced by ai.
- Comment on Meta is making users who opted out of AI training opt out again, watchdog says 4 weeks ago:
They do care about your privacy a great deal, in fact. It’s said privacy that makes them money.

They made friggin cars with friggin laser beams on their friggin heads!
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 month ago:
Yeah, that would make sense. But this is not the right use case for Signal at all. In fact (and I know I’m preaching to the choir), it defeats Signal’s use case in many ways. I don’t even know what they’re trying to accomplish with this.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 month ago:
I archive my signal chats. But, I guess, they need an automatic way to do that. They should ask their precious Grok or whatever tf it’s called.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 month ago:
Why not just use the official signal app, if you’re going to use it at all?
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 month ago:
Paywalled.

- Comment on A California man pleads guilty to illegally accessing Disney's Slack channels and stealing 1.1TB+ of data in 2024 1 month ago:
I think his “offense” is acceptable, if this one here is acceptable.
- Comment on Microsoft engineer reveals more details about Janet Jackson song that used to mysteriously crash Windows XP PCs 1 month ago:
I’m wondering if, like you postulated, they just didn’t add Linux into their radar for the data collection at that time, so they just had no data. So, while they only had data on windows, all OSs on that hardware configuration would have been affected, since it was a hardware bug and not a software bug.

- Comment on Microsoft engineer reveals more details about Janet Jackson song that used to mysteriously crash Windows XP PCs 1 month ago:
Why only windows? I’d the issue was a resonant frequency for 5400 drives of a specific manufacturer, why was only windows affected? Sound is sound.

- Comment on ChatGPT is referring to users by their names unprompted, and some find it 'creepy' 1 month ago:
It’s not a phenomenon, ffs. They’re giving the bot their names, and it’s programmed to insert the user’s provided name into the conversation.
- Comment on Airport face scans could replace boarding passes and check-in as soon as 2028 2 months ago:
I remember those “raise your hands above your head so we can digitally strip you nude (we won’t touch ourselves, promise*)” scanners when they first came out. They were also going to replace an equally effective scan method that wasn’t privacy eroding. And, guess what? You can still opt out of those a couple decades later.
*Literally happened several times. It was on the news, and it was appalling.

In practical terms, how significant is this accomplishment? I didn’t understand the future implications.

It realized how useless it was, and did the world a favor.
