ISP around me had policies like “we can provide Usenet except for the binaries trees”

I think in 2001 I was making a Linux from scratch system having not gotten enough from red hat and Debian with home configured and compiled kernels

Fun times and no, nothing like the commercial home operating systems back then

A hundred more on a thousand dollar device sounds exactly like the 10% duty we pay on things we import

Whole reimplementations have survived. IBM BIOS was the only original BIOS for PCs. Phoenix Technologies had a team read the source code for IBM BIOS (it was published in the user manual for troubleshooting) and wrote a specification for it which a different team wrote software from, making IBM compatible machines possible

I don’t know what law an emulator could be killed under, unless a license holder breached the user license as part of the development

Boot lickers?

As much as people hate Musk, Tesla is unusual in that they allow you to opt out of all connectivity. Get no updates, send no video, audio, or data to the company

One program I tested went from (31,12,99) to (01,01,100). Its front end formatted the date and added the century, so it showed 1 January 2000 as 01/01/19100

That wasn’t fixed. The fault didn’t affect processing (the years were wrong but had the correct offset between them) and was only visible to internal users, and also that system was expected to be retired in 2004

As much as that extracted a snort from me, it’s almost true, at least in the sphere of printers that talk one of the few major print languages

The article describes a tool that grabs the data without admin privileges, but yes, there are methods used by current malware to escalate privileges.

Search: block app from internet [my operating system]

But she already has a perfectly good machine, is just super slow on the newest version of windows

Watch out if they have fingerprint login. Ubuntu, at least, doesn’t unlock the user’s keyring if they log in by fingerprint, and are quickly presented with a password prompt to unlock the keyring

Neat!

They couldn’t use it. MS DOS is released under a licence that restricts redistribution

Yes. You could make menus and capture keystrokes in batch files

My autoexec.bat back in windows 3 asked if you wanted windows or a command line (most games didn’t like the memory overhead of being loaded from windows)

PV prolongs dependence on fossil fuels

That’s an unusual take.

Lena herself has the right

No she doesn’t. Playboy owns the image and have the sole right to control how it is used

Fun thing as a bard, is playing bard dance to keep the NPCs facing me, while Astarion robs them blind

Even better, after all their money is gone they can summon a gold to pay me

And I get to play totes innocent when they notice they’ve been robbed

So yeah, one or two crimes

Yeah the scam shouldn’t last long. It should be easy to see if one of your drivers was jamming the GPS, and that would be cause to fire them.

Were they otherwise good the employer is in a strong position to force the employee to comply

That would also allow the driver and other occupants of the vehicle to use GPS, and their phones
