    • Try to log in to my ISP's website. "Username not found."
    • Try the password reset link and put in the username just to see what happens. "Password reset email sent."
    • Email turns up. Click the link. Type a password. "Password reset successfully."
    • Try to log in to my ISP's website. "Username not found."

    Edit: to be clear, I didn't put in my email address, I only put in the username. The system looked up the username and found the email address by itself.

  • (arguably they should have just let the phones stop working instead of blocking them outright). The allowlist they used was missing hundreds of 4G capable phones and was missing just about every overseas model of phone

    IIRC the issue is that phones must be able to dial 000 if there's any mobile coverage at all. A bunch of VoLTE-capable phones either force 3G for 000 calls or aren't compatible with Telstra's custom VoLTE implementation, and there's really no way for telcos to know these things.

    There's no way for the owner to know, either. A bunch of 4G+VoLTE phones in the wild that people think are fine either can't call 000 or can't call 000 on Telstra's network. So a phone on Optus might work fine on Optus VoLTE, might call 000 fine on Optus VoLTE, but wouldn't be able to call 000 if there was only Telstra network coverage.

    And there's no way for Optus to know which specific modem firmware your phone has, so even getting the same model phone and testing it isn't a reliable solution.

  • Yeah... One of my great great grandmothers, nobody was ever allowed to know how old she was while she was alive. It was this weird mystery.

    Turns out if you knew her age you could easily count backwards and work out that when she got married she was 13 years old and about four months pregnant.

  • When my phone's barcode reader app sees a web link, it fetches the page's title to display next to the actual link. So it is going to that web server and fetching resources by itself. Even though it isn't actually rendering the page and running javascript, it might be exploitable.

  • Corporations lobby to defend their products, so I can imagine people swapping out flesh for artificial parts because you can control your own artificial uterus without permission from the government.

  • Lavrov accused the West of using truces to re-arm Ukraine and called for agreements preventing future violations.

    Russia wants time to rearm, but doesn't want the people they're attacking doing the same thing.

  • But seriously, having a sense of taste for the interior of one’s home does not make a person gay— it means you’re an adult with good taste. It does, however, run the risk of classifying you as “fabulous.”

    "I've had loads of gay experiences. I've seen a pair of shoes and said, I have to have them! I've described a cake as 'to die for'. But I've never had the gay experience of having another man's cock in my mouth and/or bum. And I think that really is the one that counts."

  • 'Teases prototypes'? Do they think it's 2010? Nobody cares about your EV prototypes, launch something people can buy or just resign yourself to being killed off by the wave of Chinese EVs.

    As a great philosopher once said, "Shit or get off the pot."

  • Okay, but that's still partially on Nvidia for refusing to participate. They could have argued for explicit sync early in Wayland's development but they weren't at the table at all, so they got stuck with the technology that was decided on without them and had to argue for changes much later.

    And they started off arguing for EGLStreams, but it didn't work well either. Explicit sync came later.

  • Wayland has a bunch of features that are so new they aren't in the stable distros yet.

    Nvidia went from declaring they were never going to support Wayland to trying to force their own EGLStreams stuff on everybody to reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them and trying to make it work for their driver. They're playing catchup and it's entirely their own fault for refusing to cooperate with anybody.

    They're moving more towards open source drivers now, probably because the people buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to use on Linux servers for AI training have had words with Nvidia on the subject.
