Wow the icon saga is finished!?

If anyone wants to throw away a couple hours, there was SO much discussion (and initially drama) over it: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/269

Isn't apple at 18W?

Source? This is using the same engine as Avatar frontiers and that can be played offline.

4chan, and it's maxxing. It's used used for 'productive' things incels do (for the improvement of their life) instead of dooming over how they're incels

Early access tradition

It goes as low as 405mhz on Linux for me (4070ti)

I have a liquid repellent but it doesn't work well. Feels like 1) by the time the mosquitos are in its range they're already inside and can't figure out how to go back out so they hide in other rooms 2) some mosquitos don't care at all and keep harassing either way

There weren't so many around when I lived just a couple kilometers away and I dont live near water neither.

Also 100 - 300 sounds terrifying, glad their numbers are more or less stable through summer

Screens are rare and the house is rented. Mosquitos and the occasional moth are the only wildlife that come in through the window

aigreentext?

What happens if he just doesn't stop talking when his turn is over? I thought that was a lesson learned from 2016 or something

The eff passphrase generator has about 2.5 bits of entropy per character (without word separators). Eff recommends 6 word passphrases, and with an avg word length of 7, that's (only) 79.45 bits of entropy that won't even fit in the 32 characters. If there wasn't a password length limit it would be possible to saturate the hash entropy with a 20+ word & 102+ char passphrase.

What scenario are you talking about?? From the article:

NGate malware can relay NFC data from a victim’s card through a compromised device to an attacker’s smartphone, which is then able to emulate the card and withdraw money from an ATM.
...
Masquerading as a legitimate app for a target’s bank, NGate prompts the user to enter the banking client ID, date of birth, and the PIN code corresponding to the card. The app goes on to ask the user to turn on NFC and to scan the card.

Physical card is involved, mobile payments isn't.

No? The nfc sensor is next to the credit card, which is why it's able to communicate with it to relay it.

Why would it need to create fake events? How would that even help?

There is nothing being subverted, nfc has applications other than contactless payments that require it acting as the reader, which is why it's supported. It would be better if it was behind an explicit permission (just like other sensors would) but limiting it to only responding to readers is like limiting Bluetooth to audio transmission.

The fact you can trick the NFC system on the phone into reacting to "phantom" payment events and intercept the resulting token sounds like a pretty big problem.

That's not what's happening though? It's relaying a physical card's nfc not tricking mobile contactless payments

I don't like the new spidertron animation. It looks too jittery, unlike the gliding look of the old one. They should go with a 2-way symmetry instead of the 3 way one

It's pretty common for programs to add firewall rules for themselves during setup. If you rely on manually blocking them after the fact they could have called back home already

Or a firewall that doesn't rely on windows firewall, since programs will just whitelist themselves from it during installation

I really hope they fix the idle cpu usage or at least improve the turn times to match it
