Hollywood can’t ditch its Teslas fast enough: “They’re destroying their leases and walking away”
  • I have wireless android auto and sometimes I wished it didn't have it, for shorter trips I prefer to have no map, just the car radio, and for longer trips you have to plug the phone to charge anyway because navigation uses a massive amount of battery

  • What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?
  • There's a default setting that allows unencrypted communication between the server and cloudflare. So they receive unencrypted data, sign with their certificate. Or send with self signed certificate, they decrypt and reencrypt. Or for some reason can download and import on the server their own internal use certificate.

  • What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?
  • Cloudflare knows almost everything done from your IP address because they're used by the majority of websites. And some websites are using a cloudflare signed TLS certificate so if cloudflare wants, can see the content of the communication instead of an encrypted package

    So they know if you have a human behavior (visiting many different websites at human speed and having rests during sleeping time) or if you have a bot behavior (sending millions of requests to the same endpoint at superhuman speeds)

  • Does anyone have experience using pirated versions of premium trading EAs?
  • I did, because I wanted to run multiple copies of it.

    The cracked version was running much more smoothly (10x less memory usage) due to missing DRM encryption

    My thoughts on it from a decade ago: https://www.forexperiments.com/2012/10/the-price-of-protection.html

    This said, most expert advisors programs aren't really functional, need a human supervision. IMHO the devs make more money from the sales/subscriptions of their software than running their "money making machines". After all, if your "completely automated money machine" actually works, why would you bother in paying marketing, DRM schemes to have other people using it?

  • This scam is approved and doesn't go against Google's policies

    It was a video of someone pretending to tell you a secret: thanks to a new israeli app based on ai, it's possible to make 8000 euro per month with trading by just opening an account with their referral and depositing 500 euro. 100% safe and definitely not a scam.

    Maybe not a literal scam but imho deceiving people just because they're going to give you $100 in referral money is a scam

    But why?
  • it's because people arrive 1 minute before closing time asking for a task that takes 15 minutes and the employees are rightfully fed with that, because the owner won't pay the extra time

  • Ron DeSantis bans 'global elite' lab-grown meat
  • It depends how they make them. Some plant based burgers are just made with scraps from soy milk production, look like expired meat and taste like polystyrene or worse while the impossible burger it's difficult to distinguish with a blind test: the flavor, the texture and the appearance are extremely similar. They even have the fake blood in the middle

  • Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse
  • Generally good at supporting phones but not at supporting computers, a 5-6 years lifetime is unacceptable from an environmental point of view.

    I experienced it last week when I turned on an old Mac with MacOS 10.7. It can't run anything. Everything that you download doesn't run anymore, Firefox and chrome are limited to some ancient version like 40 that breaks every modern website and due to some expired SSL root certificate you can't access any website that's using let's encrypt which is a big chunk.

    And it's like this not from recently but at least 5 years, so it was put in a corner and never turned on anymore until last week

    It can theoretically be updated to some newer version but the updater to 10.8 has been delisted from the store so you have to alternatively source that.

    For comparison, a PC that was purchased the year prior to that Mac is running the latest version of windows 10 without any issue (except slowness due to the 1st gen core architecture)

  • I copied 2TB of data on an exfat disk from a dying Mac. Then on Windows this data is (almost) missing
  • I run chkdsk and it found that 2TB of data! But in 60000 nameless and useless chunks in the FILE.000 directory

    hoping the drive tomorrow can last another day of copying...

    fucking fast boot, lost my data because it's assuming hard drives don't change when pc is turn off

  • MacBook pro freezes on log in and crashes
  • when it happened on my pc two decades ago it was faulty VRAM. It's because when it's loading doesn't use GPU. Need to replace the video card that means send the laptop to the e-waste.

    edit: it's m1 mac so there's no vram, right? So it's faulty GPU which means faulty SOC = completely wasted?

  • I copied 2TB of data on an exfat disk from a dying Mac. Then on Windows this data is (almost) missing

    I have an old mac with a dying hfs hdd with failing SMART. I copied 2tb of data on an exfat drive but windows only sees only 3 directories and 80gb. Where's my other stuff? Now after I did that long copy session that lasted a whole day, the disk died from stress and the mac doesn't boot anymore. Even if it boots, i don't think the disk can last another full copy session...

    Testdisk can show the data, there's a way to tell windows that the files are there?

  • enshittification happened to scribd, not bugmenot

    scribd used to offer free hosting for all pdf files, then when they hit critical user mass, they decided that only paid users can download the (mostly pirated) PDF files. Literally profiting from piracy while pretending it's designed for business.

    I got a new Mobo. Windows installer doesn't see the nvme drive. For some reason the bios has a million settings and are all alien to me.

    I took a lot of photos of all the settings, so many unknown entries

    The motherboard is from an unknown Chinese OEM and it's using a laptop core i7 but in a itx form factor. I have no idea of the brand, really. The box just says "motherboard" and there's no silkscreen on the PCB (it was very fun guessing which pins were for the front panel). No user manual was included. The bios it says "version: default string"

    I hate when OEMs lock down bios settings but here is the opposite, they enabled everything
