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)

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?

they fired the guy that single handedly managed meshcommander https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCommander

it was a tool to remotely control intel vpro machines, intel's own tool is not as good as what the old ex-employee did in his free time

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

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

But at the same time they paid reddit millions to train on "authoritative" posts like that one from "fuckSmith" that suggested to add glue to pizza

But they promised that they won't use the data for it 😜

They paid millions for it just for charity

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)

it looks like fast boot in order to save me 10 seconds on boot restored the FAT state from before the copy

i booted on another operating system and i see all the files, but the contents are all wrong, looks like everything is gone...

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?

The CPU speed and ram size is irrelevant in this case, it's slow because it needs to load ads and sponsored results from internet first

Also: FUCK SCRIBD AND EVERYONE THAT UPLOADS STUFF THERE!

The hint worked! It mentioned to enable csm, but for windows 11 is useless as it doesn't support booting in legacy mode. But it was loading a loader from Rufus before Windows, so I tried to check if it was interfering with that. I checked secure boot. It was enabled but with custom keys by default. Why the F would they create a default with invalid secure boot keys??

Once restored to Microsoft keys, the USB booted without showing the Rufus UEFI loader and the setup recognized the drive.

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

And not even enough. As a society we're condoning too much when it's about cars.

Going 100 in a 30 should be charged as "attempted massacre" if stopped. Because it's not an "accident" anymore when you go that fast.

And driving that fast in a residential area without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, should be an aggravating circumstance and not the opposite.

For years I assumed he was just a student in college arguing for something and not an actual POS 😢
