OfficerBribe, to piracy in Another reason for piracy.

My only reason besides stuff being free is that I want my music library offline. There are some services like Bandcamp that offer it, but it would not cover a meaningful percentage of all my library. Not gonna buy and rip CDs myself as well

OfficerBribe, to historyporn in Mary Smith, paid weekly for shooting dried peas at workers' windows to wake them for their shifts, Britain, 1930s

As per this article:

“The knocker uppers were night owls and slept during the day instead, waking at about four in the afternoon,” says author Richard Jones.

This one is the coolest.

OfficerBribe, to piracy in Looks like DRM prevented to watch movies in many theaters yesterday

Not familiar with cinema projectors, but as I have gatherered from this forum problem is caused by KDM (used to decrypt movie) provider / reseller called Deluxe. Neither Sony or this cinema chain is at fault and problem indeed seems worldwide.

I do know that if our servers lose power and the CMOS battery goes dead, they will internally destroy themselves and never function again. This is to prevent piracy I assume.

Find it very hard to believe to be honest. Could this be simply some rumour from colleagues? Doubt any vendor would implement anything like this, drives could be simply encrypted to protect data if they ever get stolen.

OfficerBribe, (edited ) to privacy in This is how I KNOW it works as intended

CNN might be the only site I’ve seen that actually checks if you have made a cookie choice then. The whole cookie acceptance thing is dumb, but they are following the law.

Thankfully there is a plan that EU will make changes fo current policy so those popups might go away.

Probably this guy

OfficerBribe, to risa in The teal shirts were Starfleet's janitors.

Leaving in a boom mic or crew in reflections is already embarrassing, leaving something like this in would be know as the biggest goof in film history.

OfficerBribe, to privacy in Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It

I am on the same boat. Somewhat similar thing was already done by those forensic sketch people that drew how a person might look like after x years if they had earlier photo. It’s not like those sketches meant they are irrefutable proof, just a method to potentially find what you are looking for and then investigate further.

That said, this feels like grasping at straws. I cannot fathom how with only DNA sample you could get an accurate portrait that face recognition could then match.

OfficerBribe, to asklemmy in Best android app for news aggregation?

I suggest RSS as well.

1 problem with standard RSS readers though is that posts are sorted in chronological order so you might miss most popular articles of the day. Can recommend Inoreader, have used it for 8 years and really like it. They cache articles on their own server side so it allows hot/trending section which I assume is based on clicks from other users. You can read your feed also through browser / PC.

Not a cinema guy, but assuming those movies are encrypted with modern standards, it is practically impossible if you simply would steal the media. Could be done if you could tap into the original playback device where movie plays and pull decrypted copy out of it.

Edit: As per this AES 128 is used so good luck if you ever stumble upon an encrypted copy.

OfficerBribe, to selfhosted in Update: Everyone said GameVault's UI was garbage, so we completely overhauled it.

Assassin’s Creed is free of DRM?

I am going for 99.9%

OfficerBribe, to privacyguides in BVG out here recommending the best 2FA Apps!

As per their FAQ:

Permission to access your location

Q: I got a prompt asking me to grant permission for the app to access my location. Why am I seeing this?

A: You will see a prompt from the Authenticator app asking for access to your location if your IT admin has created a policy requiring you to share your GPS location before you are allowed to access specific resources. You’ll need to share your location once every hour to ensure you are still within a country where you are allowed to access the resource.

Are there well known TOTP apps with backdoors?
