Anyway the roadmap is "we take your money and give it to established lobbyist firms in DC to educate lawmakers about Web3. If there is any left over after I've paid myselfmy friendsmy friends' and my lobbying firmstop. men. to "establish the lobbying infrastructure" then whatever is left goes toward creating the Lobby3 DAO, which presumably will have the right to vote on what happens with whatever cash Yang decides to leave in the kitty after he cashes himself out.
My Pixel 4a got stuck in a boot loop all morning. I couldn’t do anything with it until the battery died.
It seems to be stable now so I was able to transfer my Authenticator stuff to a spare work phone. I’m just gonna charge it up, reset it and hope that fixes whatever happened. I really don’t want to buy a new phone right now.
I can relate. I dropped my phone while eating breakfast, and it's been stuck in a froot loop all morning.
The summaries of the studies, shared exclusively with TheWrap, suggest that TikTok is able to avoid code audits on the Apple and Google app stores. More alarmingly, the research found that TikTok is capable of changing the app’s behavior as it pleases without users’ knowledge and utilizes device tracking that essentially gives the company and third parties an all-access pass to user data. This is highly unusual and exceeds the abilities of U.S.-based apps such as Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms.
I thought we already knew this? And not in an "lol china" way, (we have plenty of home grown data collection and unwanted tracking) just of course TikTok is harvesting data like mad. While having a terrible payout structure for content creators.

That is a little more than the usual data harvesting that free services engage in
Yeah this mean the app probably can access the whole device and all your personal data. This is literally what a spy tool would do, and the app should be banned from all stores
hmm. ok i didn't read every single word of that article, but i skimmed to the part that explained exactly how they are "circumventing code review"
they are using a technique that a LOT of apps use, including some extremely high profile ones
at least as far as the article reveals tiktok isn't doing anything that microsoft or google or umpteen number of smaller developers aren't doing every day
discord, for example, functions on exactly the same principle described in this article
ive been developing iphone applications for almost as long as people have been allowed to develop iphone apps... i don't find it likely that tiktok has found a way to blitz your contact book and your photos without your permission, at least not with the techniques described in the article
to do that they'd have to find a way to make a web based application be able to manipulate the binary that contains it without apple noticing. plausible, but that accusation has not been made here
the broader point the article takes umbrage with is that tiktok can do a lot of stuff with the data that it DOES have access to and it can pipe it to places to varying degree and frequency and nobody has any real way of knowing. but that is basically true of any app. if you are worried about your face being inserted into the CCP database, then don't use tiktok. but there's very little apple can do about it... short of just banning the app from the store entirely
without listing any real data that article seems very similar to the "security researcher" with an abundance of red arrows and circles saying the Olympics app was really a super powerful spy tool.
I built a Cordova app once upon a time, and Apple was very strict that any JavaScript running in the app had to be shipped in the app package. Has this policy changed?

Are they just implementing an interpreter in JavaScript and then shipping byte code over the wire?

i dont know what the "rules" say now, but a lot of apps are nothing more than webviews that serve right off the local disk, and the contents of that disk can of course be changed at will
i think the policies talk a big game of what you can and can't do but when it comes to webviews, virtually nothing is enforceable
So I finally got around to replacing the chipset fan on my motherboard tonight, as the noise it had been intermittently making had become more persistent and louder. For as great as ASRock's customer service was, whatever engineering team designed the Phantom Gaming 4 motherboard's chipset heatsink/fan needs to be taken out back and taught a lesson in designing user serviceability.
Like all X570 motherboards the fan is partially hidden behind the GPU, so my annoyance starts there. Graphics cards have gotten far too big, it's honestly difficult to get to the release on the PCIe slot.
Then I am presented with the chipset fan/heatsink, the fan itself is covered with a metal grill that seems to be affixed with two screws. I remove the screws, the grill remains in place. I pull on the grill, it doesn't budge. I use a spudger to gently pry around the edges of the grill and discover that it is in fact secured to the heatsink with adhesive. I pry the entire thing off the heatsink, it will never lie flat again.
Then I'm presented with the fan itself, which is affixed to the heatsink with 3 screws that are about the size of a large grain of rice. Their placement means that I have to thread my screwdriver between the blades of the fan, and the screws are not magnetized. I struggled with getting those screws back into the heatsink for nearly half an hour. Just a huge pain the ass. The fan connector is placed right up against the heatsink, I use my spudger to try to help getting the connector off the board, along with some gentle pressure on the fan cable, the cable rips out of the connector anyway. Spend another 10 minutes getting the connector off the board because it's fucking tiny and I can't get any leverage.
GFX cards are very silly in how large and heavy they are. I was concerned about the floating corner of my card when I built my current solution, so I came up with an innovative and high-tech solution.
The way that my graphics card shifted when I removed the screws holding it to the back panel made me uncomfortable.

Does anyone know how to make a macro that will hold a single key and also get it to stop if i hit specific other keys?
I have hand problems and I want to make a hold w key to ease stress on my hands for 3d action games that require you to continuously advance a lot (eg open worlds, games with lots of backtracking, linear stuff, and so on).
I can deal with a toggle (which wouldnt be set to w) but Id prefer it if hitting any of the wasd keys would auto turn off the macro so I have immediate control if necessary.
Ill install whatever is needed.

Autohotkey is probably your gold standard for this kinda thing.
You can execute the script when you start the game. Setting a key or combo like ctrl F1 to turn it on would work easiest. In case there's situations where you'd want to hit W in game and not hold it down.
my gpu has barely 1mm of clearance in my case lengthwise. and my case is.. not small
its really crazy. im pretty sure in terms of total volume, an RTX 3080 is larger than an entire super nintendo
Yeah I have a Fractal Meshify C, and even a dual-fan 5600XT, ostensibly a small budget card in the market I bought it in at 10.5" and 6gb of VRAM, only has about 18mm of wiggle room in there since the front fans have an AIO radiator to squeeze behind
One of my biggest concerns for when/if I upgrade my GPU (esp if I crave 1440p gaming) is how on earth I'm going to fit a new card in there, since so many of the ones you can actually buy on the current market are decidedly longer than 10.5" these days
I have auto hotkey. I just dunno how to code the script.
AHK can be a bit of a beast to figure out. It’s good stuff, but I program all day and it still takes me a bit to figure out new scripts in the bespoke AHK language.
If you’re not using one already (and the game supports it), I’d also recommend setting up a controller; they’re generally more ergonomic than keyboard and did wonders for my RSI. Steam’s controller mapping is incredible; makes it possible to set up things like auto-run and change buttons from “hold” to “toggle” modes without any coding.

I only asked about keyboard because my setup is weird.
I'm using both a ds4 controller AND an xbox adaptive controller, and I'm using joytokey on the xbox adaptive controller to make it respond to keyboard inputs instead. Oh and both left thumbstick and wasd on keyboard set off my rsi in my left hand, so I have a weird setup for how I'm actually pressing wasd using the xbox adaptive controller.
I just thought it'd be easier to just ask about keyboard. All I really need is a macro that can keep pressing w I can sort out the rest with my weird setup.

Yeah I always forget how weird its syntax is.
Something like this should work as just a toggle on off for holding down w. [ to turn on, ] to turn off.

Thanks! I just ended up finding one a few minutes ago via intensive googling that works. It's not exactly what I wanted, I have to toggle it off and on (i wanted it to auto break if I moved in a different direction) but I can set it up to fire off when I hit a button on either of my controllers since 3rd party programs let you assign keys nowadays so its all good. I set it to the right side of the touchpad.

Too late.

I am going to pitch this idea the next time I'm forced to do a blue sky tech brain storming session.

I mean, one need look no further than their stupid apes.
Lol, you fucking dorks. There’s nothing invite only about buying your way into a lobbying group for assholes.
I'm pretty sure it was before 5g but this actually was presented in some places, as a way for the houseless to earn some money.
fuckin' tech bros
I don't know if it's happened more than once but yeah, some company at SXSW did it one year.
