As a developer who knows enough about networking and servers to know when I’m out of my depth, I’m sorry for my colleague. If it’s any consolation we all think they are an idiot as well
not being able to ctrl-F a textbook or have click-to-chapter links sure makes studying harder these days… and any scanning software worth it’s salt will at least do the bare minimum OCR automatically…
Look, it’s all about authorial intent - if the author had wanted their book to be easy to reference or accessible to people who use screen readers, they would have published a DRM free PDF in the first place. Gotta respect the artist’s vision.
Down vote away, I don’t care, but they really aren’t though.
Pretty big difference between buying a thing that stops working if you don’t have an active subscription, and using an old LTS and being given the choice of paying for extended support or the free upgrade to the new LTS
From the previous issue it sounds like the developer has proper legal representation, but in his place I wouldn’t even begin talking with Haier until they formally revoke the C&D, and provide enforceable assurances that they won’t sue in the future.
Also I don’t know what their margins are like, but even if this cost them an extra $1000 in AWS fees on top of what their official app would have cost them (I seriously doubt it would be that much unless their infrastructure is absolute bananas), then it would probably only be a single-digit number of sales that they would have needed to loose to come out worse off from this.
Tbh, if you can’t tap out Ethernet frames with a Morse key and decode the response by watching the blinking of an LED wired to the RX pair then you really don’t deserve to be on the internet. Git Gud.
If you have already screwed up, you now get to play The Game of Litigation, where their lawyers try to prove that you are liable for billions of dollars in damages, and your lawyer tries to prove that you aren’t. The way the game works is whoever spends the most on lawyers wins. You’ve got more cash to spend than your clients right?
It’s pretty common for freelance developers to have insurance like this - if I screw up and you get ransonwared, insurance pays for a lawyer to explain the contracts indemnity clause to you using small words
No actual answer, but I’d suggest reading your employers computer use policy carefully - for me at least, sharing an OTP secret with an unauthorized application would be a pretty serious policy breach. Probably wouldn’t get fired for it (unless it resulted in an actual breach) but would definitely get a “don’t do that again” letter from HR
I currently have a ring doorbell that I pay a yearly fee for but I want to get away from Amazon and a subscription fee. I would prefer if it used the Wi-Fi and it was able to connect with my house doorbell. Edit: I’d also like to add that I would like it to have the ability to stream and record video.
Account icon is “stop the globalists” over a mehnora, and the description mentions “Rothschild” - signs point to “no, it’s an antisemitic rightwing conspiracy theory”
Put him on the first rocket to mars but make sure you filter the news feed from earth to scrub out any mention of him at all, and replace them with sentences giving credit to his subordinates.
I love Sentry, but it’s very heavy. It runs close to 50 Docker containers, some of which use more than 1GB RAM each. I’m running it on a VPS with 10GB RAM and it barely fits on there. They used to say 8GB RAM is required but bumped it to 16GB RAM after I started using it....
