evatronic , to Technology in Finally a useful feature (no)

I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn't make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.

evatronic , to Star Trek in Kate Mulgrew told Rick Berman she wanted a gay character on the Voyager bridge

The episode that really nailed down what a talented actor Jeri Ryan is was the time she had all those assimilated personalities surface and was switching back and forth rapidly, and the bit where the Doctor "took over" her body when they were in prison.

Both times, it was absolutely believable that someone else was at the wheel, and "Seven" wasn't there.

evatronic , to World News in Ukraine just held its first Pride event in years despite Russia's continued invasion

Standing up in the face of oppression and bigotry is the point.

evatronic , to cats in Inseparable brothers. We went to adopt one and came back with both.

I have frequently complained that the cat doesn't do anything useful except generate poo, and what can I do with that?

My demands to get a job are met with disdain.

evatronic , to Not The Onion in Texas GOP platform calls for ban on same-sex parenting because being gay is "abnormal"

I've been spending all my money on being fabulous instead of bribing old white men. I knew I was doing the adult thing wrong.

evatronic , to Android in YouTube has now begun skipping videos altogether for users with ad blockers

I think a better question: Why are they reading YouTube comments?

evatronic , to Programmer Humor in new preference war just dropped

I do one, the other senior dev does the other. We fight about it in pull requests.

evatronic , to Technology in New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

Consumer PCs are almost certainly not covered entities under HIPAA, nor is Microsoft in its role as an OS provider.

Even then, if this whole thing were to result in an inappropriate disclosure by a covered entity, the organization that processes the data would be liable, not Microsoft.

That's like blaming the building contractor because you left the door unlocked and someone came in and stole your cat.

evatronic , to Technology in Two students find security bug that could let millions do laundry for free

Fun.

From the article, the linked Swagger docs : https://web.archive.org/web/20240120071238/https://mycscgo.com/api/v1/docs/static/index.html#/

And a little more detailed account : https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/tech-news/how-this-security-bug-in-washing-machines-can-help-college-students-in-the-us-do-free-laundry/articleshow/110277923.cms

It looks like these laundry machines are controlled by a mobile app, and requests are routed through The Internet(tm). The flaw appears to be the web service presumes a user is only able to gain access to their API endpoints via the mobile app, which only exposes certain functions to a user.

Once authorized, though, there's no further checks like oauth scopes or even user roles, to prevent someone from doing a little bit of lateral movement to admin-style endpoints.

Lazy. The machine makers should be ashamed.

evatronic , to Programmer Humor in I still don't get buffers

I don't have the name handy, but there's at least one plugin for vim that shows buffer previews in a popup. I've got it mapped to leader-sb (for "show buffer").

evatronic , to Programmer Humor in AI Suggestions

I've been using it a lot lately in the day job.

My experience has been it's close but wrong often.

It shines when I am doing the same thing for 20 variables, but then I should be using a loop instead and copilot won't go there.

evatronic , to Programmer Humor in Senior dev be like...

There is a reason I keep refusing to take the "Lead" position. I know what I'm good at.

evatronic , to Technology in Neuralink Co-Founder Suggests He Left Elon Musk's Company Over Safety Concerns

No lie ... if they could make a chip that like ... Shuts off cognition while I'm at the gym so I don't have to experience it ... I'd consider it.

I really hate working out.

evatronic , to Technology in Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption

Nothing. They're behaving quite rationally.

You just have to understand that their motivation is not "successful governing" or "making the world better" but rather, "getting more money."

When you view their actions through the lens of self-enrichment, they're behaving quite normally.

evatronic , to Programmer Humor in I just love pain

I'll go along with a Friday deploy. But I ly after I have it in writing that the first time I'm opening the laptop is Monday at 8:00a. If Business is okay with that risk, tell me to mash the button.
