I'm guessing someone saw me post this link in the muJS post earlier, which I got massively downvoted for. And then again when I said I didn't want to use github because of the AI training.

In my case it often can and does. Many sites I use force email or SMS-based 2FA, sometimes in addition to "security questions" and/or have other multiple steps of authorization (like ca…

I am logged into way too many sites to do that unfortunately. I do use a password manager with a browser plugin to make it easier, but it's still a lot of manual work to re-login to all the sit…

Yeah my first thought was "of course an LLM can do that, we didn't need a paper to tell us". I would be more impressed if it could do it without that information, such as by analyzing w…

What happens if the constant had an explicit type, or something like 4294967296ULL? Could it be that the compiler is just interpreting the large number as a signed type that has wrapped around? Has an…

Most phones have a cellular modem in it, and as long as it is on and functioning normally, even without a valid SIM, it can still be tracked by any provider or person/group/government contro…

In my experience it usually isn't. I would say a dedicated fuse is a rare feature on only some models of some makes.

You can already instruct AI to navigate the existing website for you and buy the tickets... OpenClaw is one such recent tool.

If this gets flagged, I just want to point out the hypocrisy because Freemediaheckyeah was allowed to be posted and nobody seemed to care.
