It’s not as stupid as this blog post makes it sound. This was a hashing function that was intentionally taking the end of the path as the most significant part. This just impacts the order of objects in a pack file, and the size of the compression window needed to compress it.

It’s not actually mistaking one file for another, and their proposed solution is not better in all situations.

Yeah, I would love to stop getting potato quality videos on MMS, but not enough to install a proprietary app. I’ll just have to create matrix accounts for more people.

I’m not afraid of scissors, but I’m very afraid of my victorinox knife.

Am I just failing to use that site properly, or is it missing a ton of stuff in ‘replays’ that was available live?

I feel like the CBC had a better version of this thing 12 years ago.

I guess at the 2028 Olympics they’ll be jumping on the AI bandwagon.

You’re suggesting people not be able to run software in kernel mode on their own systems.

I would never run kernel mode anti-cheat, but going down this road will lead to hardware attestation and the end of open computing for anything with online services.

I was thinking about this last time I drove an ev (ioniq 5). It will really decelerate quite hard when you lift off, and it’s configurable by the driver.

I don’t think they need to do it with an accelerometer, but if the regeneration system is applying more braking force than it would take to turn on the light with the brake pedal, it should turn the light on.

Either that or they should require the brake pedal to be used beyond that point.

Edit: actually it just occurred to me that it might be no worse than downshifting in a normal car. Maybe it’s not a big deal.

Not that I recall. It turns out that most people have their Xbox in a place that sucks for dribbling a basketball, so I think the correct way to play this game was to move the setup to your garage/patio. :)

I worked on this game. You have to dribble a basketball in front of all your expensive electronics. Insane idea, but it was a fun project.

Have you checked all the ethernet links are actually connected at 1G and not 100M?

I was expecting something in the article to back it up, like sales figures, but I couldn’t find anything.

We want to negotiate, but you must allow us to eat all the chips.

There are so many levels of fuckery in the American system. It goes all the way up to just asking the supreme court (who you appointed) to please let you win.

Does it actually tell you the results? I’m curious how they score your driving, and how effective it is. The scariest things I see on the road are things like:

• distracted driving
• tailgating
• lack of awareness

I don’t see how they’d measure how safe a driver you are.

Perhaps it’s just that people are more careful when they know they’re being monitored, and safe drivers are more likely to opt in?

I think most orgs would want to own the server and for messages to not be end-to-end encrypted. All connections to the server would still be encrypted.

That would be more in-line with slack or something.

If you’re referring to federation specifically then that’s going to get pretty complicated with security policies.

One person has been killed and several others injured

“I was covered in coffee,” Andrew from London tells our colleagues on 5 Live.

It’s a trap.

Sounds like it’s not really a downgrade, but just an unreleased beta or test build? That seems a little less sketchy, and maybe it’ll be generally released at some point.

They would still want kernel level anti-cheat in that case.
