Naturally. I can hope for it, but I would never expect them to counter-sue. They’re the person harmed, so they get to decide what justice looks like for them, and sometimes people just want to go back to normal.

Sanctions are really the only thing the judge has at their disposal, and I doubt Nintendo’s lawyers are dumb enough to get sanctioned.

Go for it, Nintendo. Emulation has already been proven in courts to not be sufficient evidence for wrongdoing. Also:

However, its latest move feels particularly heavy-handed, as it has issued a copyright strike against a YouTube channel that reviews emulation handhelds.

Go fuck yourself. I hope you get hit with an anti-SLAPP across your litigious faces.

The fact that winamp still exists is just silly fun.

And this is why I haven’t installed Teams on my personal computer. If it was less invasive, I would, but it’s just potential bossware masquerading as “productivity tools.”

That shit stays on my work computer, and I just VPN into it.

How’s that? If I’m running a Windows machine, how would a CUPS exploit affect me?

I’m not asking maliciously, but I genuinely don’t grasp how that could be a viable attack vector.

I like your idea. But you’ll have to settle for being a fish.

How?

I would have considered a folding book-style phone if I wanted a tablet. I agree that they’re likely the only viable use case that isn’t a complete gimmick.

The very next sentence:

Note that everything that is not Linux has been filtered out [in this filtered list of unique IPs]. That is why I was getting increasingly alarmed during the last few weeks.

They said they were getting duplicates and non-*nix hits with that 300k number, which doesn’t help them (i.e. the hundreds of thousands of hits was artificially inflated). So yes, the threat is overblown.

Coupled with the fact that patches are already out, and it’s easily mitigated by closing 631, and I don’t expect this will be much of a problem for most people.

Yep. While simple to prepare, this will affect almost nobody, as it requires the user to perform an increasingly rare action in a world that’s often going paperless.

Also, the likelihood that a regular user will expose port 631 to the internet is probably close to zero. There’s several uncommon pieces that have to be in place for this to work, to the point that it’s not a simple matter to execute this exploit.

Sounds like some firmware updates are in order.

I hope he eventually dyes his hair the same color, too.

Either one of them. It would be weird either way.

Well, now I’m gonna. You can’t tell me what to do! /s

This “article” reads like a long-form cover letter for a job application. Thanks for enshittifying everything, Jagan, and using your bullshit “skills” to go for that cash grab before the bubble pops.

If this article wasn’t written by one of Jagan’s LLMs and was in fact written by a real person (and I would be shocked to find that it was), the author should feel bad and demand a refund on their education.

The response is wrong. AI isn’t recognizing people’s emotions, it’s inferring them. It’s not “smart” enough to recognize emotions, and we don’t need the dystopian nightmare of a computer thinking you’re malicious when you’re annoyed or being sarcastic.

Synergy has always been my go-to for a software KVM. It’s currently only $30, and it works great. I paid for a license probably a decade ago, and I’ve more than recouped my utility cost.

It’s not really random internet strangers’ place to judge someone’s parenting choices. We don’t know their overall parenting style, the personality of the child, what lessons they may be trying to teach, etc. The only thing we know for certain is that they want to use parental controls, perhaps to ensure they stay safe as they learn how to use the internet responsibly while also having a level of autonomy.

That’s not helicopter parenting, that’s just prudent.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Avoid sites like Fiver, though. Lots of AI bullshit pretending to be real art.

That interesting. Well, at least you found something that works!
