The wording is quite evasive. They didn't say directly "With this initiative to open source" but "to open the source code." They do however mentioned collaboration and contribution.

Don't use scripts unless you know how it works otherwise you will have trouble troubleshooting when something doesn't work. But by the time you read and understand how the script works, you already learn how to deploy it manually.
Recently I just hit by stolen card detail and makes me searching a virtual card service. Anyone knows any works in the UK and EU region? Apparently Privacy.com needs SSN to work now. Thanks.
Interesting problem here. So I self host jellyfin, happy to share my (owned) movies with my family. Well, my mother has asked me to digitize her collection too and have me host it. Originally, fine, you give your movies to me, I host them, same thing....
I’m getting tired of the extremely loud ads on that don’t seem to be subject to the old TV broadcasting laws that prevent them from being blasted 10db louder than the actual content. Wondering if there’s stuff out there that would let me take the hdmi stream from my Apple TV or other streaming source, and do ad detection...
As OP said volume leveling is acceptable, something like this will do.
Modifying HDMI video signal is simply impossible due to DMCA and bla bla bla. But not all hope is lost though. You can overlay opaque video on top of another encrypted stream via this little box. This is an old project per se and I have no idea if still available, but with some dirty work you might able to detect the increase of volume or match of an algo or something with a total black screen overlay on top.
It doesn't and I didn't ever mentioned HDMI in my reply. Just doubt if overlaying another encrypted stream with a muxer ever need that much processing power to the point of "prohibitively expensive".
Well, I'm simply reciting what is described on the page based on my understanding. From the diagram, it does not do raw frame processing from the source (assuming HDMI w/ HDCP) as the stream remains encrypted. By the look of it, it is copy or passthrough to the muxer (as it labeled). With some magic, it muxes two encrypted streams into one and output to the video sink. How is that done I have no idea.
Does it make sense to have separate emails for each individual financial account (banking, credit cards) or is that overkill? I'm just thinking that if a hacker got access to one email they'd have all account information?
multiple email account? Not really. It is typically implemented using some email proxy or alias like anonaddy or simplelogin. By the look of it is multiple accounts, but in fact you're just receiving mail forwarded to you in one account. All you have to do is append any strings as the user with your domain.
(anonaddy and simplelogin requires adhoc address generation using subdomain by them or a domain owned by you with MX records pointing to their servers)
disclosure: I'm a current customer of anonaddy. Never used simplelogin though.
Security wise, maybe. You might be more protected against cred stuffing but reusing password on multiple services at the first place is already a big no no.
I do remember 1-2 years ago there is a paper (or model?) that reverse blured images. It's similar to how ML based object remover and inpainting works. Granted it only works for specific blurring algo.
Yeah, for the pic you used as example, the tool will just create something that fits. Not really "unblur" the image but guess what it would be with the info it have. It will be very likely not the same face versus the original.
However, recreating background maybe easier and accurate enough for a geo guesser or a ML model to figure out roughly where the image was taken.
If it pass safety standards without all those smart and data collection bs and being reliable for 7+ years with easy part sourcing I might give it a try.
So I joined a new gym last year and was pleasantly surprised. They gave me a smart card to get in and out, that's it, no app, no accounts, no nothing. Well, today I got to the gym and saw the announcement that they are phasing out the access with the smart card and starting to use, you guessed it, an app....
For not having some infra managing "cards", to have some infra managing app instead. Let's be real, that infra (and managing work) most likely is being out sourced to another company. I think the "efficiency gained" is minimal, but rather the cost to operate. With apps, they can recoup some cost by selling your data.
That I'm not surprised. Look how many companies are shoving apps down our throat while treating web browser users as second class citizens. My sister (21-30 age group) only know to use the "Google app" to search the web on her iPhone while Safari is pinned at the bottom and rarey uses it.
I believe its about the map and coordinate system used by China. They uses an encrypted (?) coordinate system claiming national security. That's why Google maps never work in China.
The way I see it is that we don't know the content of Apache 3.0, nor have a vote to chose what license they adapt in the end. Does Apache have a good track record? Yes, but it is getting diffcult to put trust in sonething today. It's still a rug under, or fail safe as you name it, which is used by corprates today. I would rather have a framework/procedure in place preventing it from happening from the get go.
ADDITION: I haven't read Apache's CLA yet so it might or might not contains copyright grant clause.
China's tech industry is thriving! They produced 3 billion chips daily, with a total output of 100 billion in Q1, up 40% YoY.

By 2027, China's global share of mature-process capacity is projected to rise from 31% to a...
When normal people look at the title with "chips", they are most likely think of "computer chips". However, that's what not the article is about.
The use of the term is correct, and indeed chips are used in more places that most people doesn't think of. Still, it is misleading as it doesn't consider what most people think what "chip" is, bleeding edge or not.
Maybe I'm not clear enough. It's not about what counts and what doesn't. It is about the initial interpretation. As I said, the use of term is correct. It is just when one read "chip", what kind of product/product category they will first think of.
For someone not fmailiar, they will say "complicated computer thing" where computer is maybe something they interact with daily like a PC or tablet or smartphone.
For someone following business news, they might think of NVIDIA or mobile processors due to news about export restrictions. Or rewind to the chip shotrage in 2020~2021, they might think of cars.
The interpretation of a term is shaped by information people gathered and absorb daily. This is something subjective.
Also the title of the article says "semi-conductors".
Apologies to the overlook but the same concept still applies. It may not be misleading here where people are more or less tech savvy, how about the audience of SCMP? Or people reach this post by search engine? We shouldn't imply everyone can interpret a term the same.
You don't interact daily with your car? Your tv? Your microwave? Your toothbrush? Your thermostat? AC? Literally fucking everything except one item in your hiuse.
I do in some degree, but how often one will realized "oh, there is a chip right in there"? At least I get used to them so much that unless I really put my mind to it, I won't have that realization. To me that's second thought, not first. This applies to what I read and how I interpret. So does to others.
Like people who love in, I don't know Shenzhen? Yeah I'm sure they can't tell the difference. We all know Chinese and uneducated morons, am I right?
I can't quite grasp what you're talking.
All in all, I'm expressing that I determined that title is misleading. The process is simple: read the title, interpret what it ment, then the article, summarize it and compare it to the title and see how far apart the understanding is. If that's far, that's misleading. Done.
You can disagree and think otherwise. I prefer to use terms and expressions that anyone can get the point in their first thought. Clear?

This is something I'm unsure of. While I agree that there should be less obstacles to third party app stores, and sideloading, I'm not sure about taking warnings away is a wise choice. Especially when people are comfort and used to no warnings when using Google Play and other equivalents. Most just doesn't do basic digital hygine. A better route is to bring down Google Play from its system app status and become a normal one, and warnings for everyone.
Instead of fiddling with the limitation on Android set by Google, I think a custom crypto DAC/ADC would be far eaiser, though you need both hard and software knowledge to accomplish this. It also came with the added benefit of not processing cryptographic operations on a black box.
Still, I don't know what goal you want to achieve and threat model is. If you are just curious if this possible, the answer will be ye with tons of hops amd hacks. If you really want security, I will advise you go another route.
It's on a different stack. Telegram (and VoIP) operates on the network stack, cellular call is working on the GSM/LTE stack. Networkin stack is more opened and free to do what you want; GSM/LTE stack have many proprietary tech that's is not open to everyone.
Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows. ( about.winamp.com )
Would be funny if Winamp gets a second life ~20 later.
