He's not innocent and went to jail for it, but does it warrant garnishing his income for life? I think they went too far with that.

Poor people shouldn't drive an Apple car /s

Shame. I was curious how expensive it would be. Maybe somewhere between BMW and Porsche. I guess we'll never know.

I sincerely hope that Yuzu developers don't end up like Gary Bowser and have their income garnished for life by Nintendo.

Distro makers have test machines to test their packages before pushing them out, but they can only cover popular and common hardware. Expecting them to test it on all graphic card permutations is too much considering most distros are released for free and maintained by volunteers, especially since nvidia cards aren't cheap anymore.

This would implies the package management system to know the inner working of nvidia drivers so it can warn users when updates would break it. How one's implement it?

It's hilarious that PR author in that example has monkey profile pic. I guess what people are saying about never trusting people with monkey pfp is true.

zoom in on the error message

Yep, of course it's Nvidia.

Apple has been suspected to intentionally slow down safari development in some key areas so it won't cannibalize the AppStore. Frustrated web devs, unable to get their web apps to work correctly on safari mobile, would publish their apps in the AppStore instead of using PWA.

Yeah, looks like she think your work is not a big deal and aren't worth the fuzz about it. Sadly this attitude is pretty common. The maintainer didn't think they do anything wrong (it's just a small config!), not realizing the work they think was easy and not worth the credit might not actually that easy for new contributors and perhaps warrant some credit or acknowledgement to encourage future contributions.

On the other hand, they're also focused at infinity so it's easier to glance at than a transparent screen.

Some maintainers on large open source projects really think credit is not a big deal and sometimes apply the changes sent to them as their own commit if they think it's not too significant. I think this is wrong though. Even small contribution should be properly attributed or it'll discourage future participation.

I just feel wronged because now they’re saying that I don’t deserve to have my name on this because I was too slow when I was only given a week and was literally told to wait during that time period.

This is very concerning if true.

So the rod can be elongated

Less and less vpn and vps companies provide services for mainland citizen. The main reason I heard of is when their server got blocked by the great firewall, those customers would immediately perform chargeback to get their money back even though it's not the fault of the providers. You lose money on chargeback fees which means accepting mainland customers is very risky for them.

There are cases of malicious/incompetent CAs issuing certificates to parties who don't own the domains. DigiNotar was the most famous one, and recently there was a Chinese CA (I forgot the name) booted from the list as well. Once they're detected (browsers report SSL certs they see back to mothership for audit) they would be removed from trusted lists though, so chance that they're only used for high value targets and can't be used that often.

Lucky you to be able to trust your ISP. Mine injects ads whenever they can, even hijack DNS and redirect invalid/blocked domains to a page full of ads.

It's always been vulnerable, but dismissed because common criminals didn't have access to required tools and the technical know-how to defeat common keyless entries. But things has changed and many entities start selling tools on the cheap to defeat keyless system such as flipper zero flashed with honda rf capture, etc.

Vaccines are like IT departments. When it works and everything is fine, "they do nothing and cost a lot to run", but when they're let go, things might still works for a while until it doesn't anymore and now everything is on fire.

Not vaccinating your kids works only if other kids are vaccinated. The moment a large number of kids not vaccinated anymore, that's when hell break loose.
