I always tell my children that Maths is finding the best way to cheat at a problem. Don't solve the hard problem. Solve the easy one that's kind of like the hard problem and then find the difference.
And judging by the school material that's how they're supposed to do it. But either the teachers aren't explaining it that way or the kids aren't listening.

Reminds me of my Commodore 128. You could boot it into 64 bit mode for legacy programs. I had exactly one C-128 game (which was a super complicated combat flight sim) so I only used it in C-64 mode.
It's a relatively new addition to Android that other app managers can install and update apps without user interaction. Before that you'd have to approve every update manually.

I beat that stupid track in Star Wars Racer where you are muuuuch too slow if you fall onto a lower track. Without any upgrades so that I had enough credits to max out everything.
It's really a shame because by now WordPress itself actually works quite well. Sure, it's fueled by unspeakably ugly spaghetti code. But at least it's unspeakably ugly spaghetti code that works and receives regular automatic updates.
And other than putting up a verification program I don't see what they could do to improve the plugin situation.
Literally. For those who don't know it was Helmut Kohl (chancellor during the reunification) who stopped a 30-year project to lay fiber throughout Germany to instead favour copper wires to help his old pal Leo Kirch build up a private TV network to rival the mostly left leaning public broadcast. And I thought one of his family members owned a copper plant or so but I wasn't able to find an article about that.
I remember in my childhood in the 90s reading it as a possibility. So it was already on people's radar. And as far as I know in the book Jurassic Park they do have feathers. Haven't watched the newer movies, but I heard that in Jurassic World it was explained by the frog DNA that they didn't have feathers.
I think every touch up besides color correction and cropping should be labeled as "photoshopped". And any usage of AI should be labeled as "Made with AI" because it cannot show which parts are real and which are not.
Besides, this is totally a skill issue. Removing this metadata is trivial.
Visually maybe but not gameplay wise. They are very much Metroidvanias (that genre isn't called that by chance) where you collect gear to open up the maps more and more and shoot aliens on the way.
I really loved Prime 3 on the Wii. One of the few shooters that played well on there. I got the trilogy when that was ported but got stuck somewhere in the first game. Was too proud to look up a walkthrough.
#OptGreen with #GNU/#Linux to keep your device in use! These machines will run beautifully for many years to come.
Not only wallet friendly, #upcycling keeps CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere. Ca. 75% of Apple's emissions comes from production alone (details in alt text).
Yeah, I have one. It's slow and unstable, no good browser, no good Signal client and an almost unusable camera and GPS.
All these things kind of sorta work. But not in any satisfying capacity.
It's especially baffling to me that it seems to be impossible to make a modern smartphone with even a small fraction of the power of a PC. It must be hardware or driver issue because devices like the Steam Deck or Raspberry Pi show that the software is perfectly capable of delivering a good experience. And Android phones show that Linux on a smartphone works in principle. There just seems to be a gap between them and mainline Linux. Probably Google bribing chip manufacturers to keep competition down. Can't think of much else.
Hear me out. There's nothing innate to an object that makes it "food". It's an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that's edible "food". Does that make it...
I wonder how that will interoperate with timestamps provided by users in comments or by the video creator themselves. Maybe those can be used to detect inserted ads.
But at the first family gathering at our own house my friend had told some tales of his work at some immigrant center and my father in law started on some racist diatribe about "those people". Before he could get too far I loudly threatened to throw him out of my house if he continued with that shit. Felt good.
I get that there won't be any security updates. So any problem found can be exploited. But how high is the chance for problems for an average user if you say, only browse some safe websites? If you have a pc you don't really care much about, without any personal information? It feels like the danger is more theoretical than...
Ransomware usually doesn't care whether it's hitting a corporation or a real user. Even a "safe" website might serve unsafe ads. I have seen that a thousand times. It was just harmless history stealing in my case. But depending on what bugs will be found in the future it could be desastrous. And nobody at the ad network would see it because they would be using updated software.
So, it is only theoretical until it is not. Then it is too late.
It's probably limited by your internet service provider. On many plans you only get much less upload speed than download speed. I guess it's to discourage home users from running a server at home. And to discourage file sharing.
