Holy shit folks! A big breakthrough tonight! I got my iPhone 5 to sync with my !!

This was never allowed by Apple as Mac OS X 10.6.8 is the official minimum OS required by iPhone 5. But I knew this limitation was artificial as my iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 are both running iOS 6.1.3... so what could the actual difference be???

This is my first reverse engineering project and it ended up being only a 1 character change, but it took many many many hours in GDB to figure out which character. I promise I will write a blog post.

But in the mean time, please enjoy the screenshots while I buy myself a 64GB iPhone 5 so I can get some content synced!

I absolutely understand many, many people do not like AI generated videos. I don't like them either.

However, do not get threatening and sanctimonious and dog pile on someone who has posted something in good faith, clearly didn't know it was AI, and doesn't have the skills to spot it.

Because people become terrified of posting anything for fear of it being AI and getting lambasted for it.

AI is DESIGNED to fool people. And when you beat up someone who is fooled, you're beating up a victim.

"ai"

There's a saying how a good programmer is a lazy programmer.

And I've always agreed to that. If there's a way to smartly automate stuff, why not!

But I've recently observed how LLM-based laziness is bad laziness.

I've observed people "prompt" the "ai search engine" or "assistant" several times after it should have been clear that the correct answer wasn't forthcoming ...

and not listen to an actual person in the room (me) trying to tell them an answer that would actually work ...

Typ 1 kommentiert unter veganem Rezept, es sehe lecker aus, aber er würde richtiges Huhn nehmen. Wird dafür 1x kritisiert & beschwert sich über "Intoleranz".

Typ 2 postet unter veganem Abendessens ungefragt ein Rezept & empfiehlt Pute, Huhn & Eier. Wird dafür & für Übergriffigkeit deutlich kritisiert. Reaktion: Ob vegan oder nicht müsse man jedem selbst überlassen, er werde es nicht *blabla*

2 Beispiele von vielen. Die von nun an wohl ins Klagelied, Vegane seien militant, einstimmen.

American e-commerce sites generally have a ‘cart’, while British e-commerce sites generally have a ‘basket’ (rather than the direct equivalent, a ‘trolley’). Is this due a cultural difference in how much we tend to buy in a single shop?

Relatedly, the British versions of American e-commerce sites often localise the label to ‘basket’, but show it alongside an icon of trolley — here’s Amazon, for example:

Newer HP machines ( laptops, desktops) seem to be woefully incompatible with .

During boot, both the regular kernel and the ramdisk kernel hang at "entry point at 0x1001000". After tinkering for literal hours (BIOS options, different boot mediums, different versions, etc) I managed to get it working.

The problem is with the memory space. It can be fixed relatively simple with a custom kernel that uses a different address space. Here is the patch: marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=16

Now running OpenBSD-current on an Elitebook with an eleventh gen Intel i5. The special keys (screen brightness, volume, etc) work out of the box :flan_hacker:

Le Muséum entre dans l’ère Mastodon(nienne) ! 🦣

Suivez-nous pour en apprendre un peu plus sur la Terre et le vivant, l'actualité de la recherche scientifique menée au Muséum, les coulisses de nos collections, et bien plus encore...

© MNHN - J-C.Domenech

Intérieur de la Galerie de Paléontologie du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, montrant une grande salle avec une haute verrière laissant entrer la lumière naturelle. Au centre de la salle, un imposant squelette de mammouth méridional, entouré de vitrines contenant d'autres squelettes d'animaux.

Le balcon orné de balustrades en fer forgé encercle la salle. Les murs sont décorés de peintures rupestres. Les vitrines latérales contiennent divers spécimens, notamment des crânes et des ossements d'animaux disparus.

なんでこんなにむかついているのかと考えていた。「「急を迫る決断で致し方ない」「形にすることが先である」など、女性はもっともらしい理屈で後回しにされ続けることが当然であり、そこに女性がいないことは瑣末な問題であると扱い続けて良く、まずはボーイズクラブ。それを疑問視するなど、せっかくの場を乱す行為はやめろ追随しろ称賛しろ支えろ波に乗って話はそれからだ」を、2026年になってまた見せられている、ずっと同じものを見せられていることに心底嫌気がさしているからなんだと思う。

我还是有一些问题,但Cloudflare不会给我答案,所以就当是开放讨论了:
为什么Cloudflare甚至都不愿意执行SNI-Host校验?
我最后一看自己的服务器日志,漏进来(bypass了Cloudflare验证码的恶意请求)主机名全是google.com和pornhub.com。

在我自己的测试中也发现了这点——我只需要写一个SNI与一个已知的Cloudflare用户对的上的HTTPS请求,即使主机名写的是aistudio.google.com,Cloudflare都会转发这些请求。

以及,Cloudflare的Turnstile验证码过于脆弱(只需要在让那些自动化浏览器程序随机移动一下鼠标,然后点一下就通过了),为什么Cloudflare最后会决定换成这种东西?

我想到的是東野圭吾《惡意》

那時看完有一點難帶入,因為兩個原因:

第一是這份惡意實在太純粹了,不是因為別人怎麼樣招惹他,而是由他自己心裏面生出來的那種,幾乎沒有辦法用其他的線索去推理出來。這好歹是本推理小說啊,我從頭到尾很難說服自己要從這個角度去尋找答案。

二則是雖然難以帶入,但是我有一點相信這可能是真的、可能真的會有這樣的人。

果真如此。

The Nobel Peace Prize bit seems like obviously the right move. Don’t you have a survival instinct? She’s not in our politics, she doesn’t care if he gets a boost or if this affects midterms. She just saw the unelected dictator of the country she is the opposition leader of get abducted in a sci-fi invasion by a narcissist. Her political project just became achievable for the first time ever, contingent on the support of a man withholding support specifically because of her prize. That’s a layup.
