I can eject USB drives in Linux! You click the button to unmount it, and it unmounts. This is some crazy technology right here, maybe one day Microsoft will catch up

How are you supposed to pronounce this service? Because I keep trying and it keeps sounding like sext.

I meant that’s the only place it should be learned about, and not plastered on the wall. I’d gladly shove all the other fairy tales in there too

To be fair there’s no article, just a video of a guy off camera talking about his Xbox, not exactly engaging.

I dug through the start of some guide on github, and nothing jumped out at me that the stuff remains configured. Maybe there are pieces stored on the jump drive afterward, but if it does they aren’t saying it very loudly. That’d definitely help convince me to try it.

Who am I kidding, I’m trying it the first time I come across a 360. I just don’t see myself using it regularly

I’ve seen estimates between 30-70% failure rate for the race condition, even on this updated 1.2 version.

And then ok, the exploit is successful. Now you have to install the custom launcher. Hope you like the default theme otherwise you’re now configuring that each and every time too. I didn’t get this far in the guide but now I imagine you also need to install the ISO manager that launches the games. Whoops, there’s always some weird collection of dependencies that you’ll probably have to tweak. Remember wii ios’s? God, what the heck was that. Then you lose power and have to do all of this over again?

Have you ever modded a console? The exploit is only step one.

Its a shame it doesn’t persist through a reboot. I thought I was finally going to have a hacked 360, but I’m not reapplying this thing every time it turns on…

They should learn about Christianity and Islam in their history textbooks. That’s fucking it.

We had one. Then we stuck him in jail for 7 years for fraud.

Well will it run Winamp because I inadvertently read the title as Winamp and now I need it again

It’s worth it to include a couple extra points on the current ‘meta’ of seed boxes. A lot of these servers that people set up to serve as an inbetween to torrent then watch via jellyfin etc - they are being set up with weak security. Usually read access is left wide open to get all these services working on the same directory where the movies are. They assume there’s a little security through obscurity, but Google WILL manage to index this folder, and now when someone searches for that obscure 90s movie you torrented (with a few fun search arguments like intitle:), they’re now able to access all your downloads.

Sometimes these seed boxes have bandwidth use limits, where they might charge you if you suddenly use a few dozen TB, which will happen if you’re showing up on Google!

If they don’t have bandwidth limits, you still might land in hot water with your hosting co because you’re being a little loud with copyright infringement. You’re showing up on Google.

If you’re not too worried about either of these things, go ahead and be a hero, leave that shit wide open because…

If hosting a seedbox is way over your head or budget, just know a lot of them are left wide open for you to grab bits and pieces with near zero risk.

It also has a microphone for listening out for “aggression,” gunshots, and keywords such as someone calling for help, a feature that to Vasquez-Garcia immediately raised concerns of more intrusive surveillance.

It’s in the article. I’d cause so many false positives for ‘aggression’ when taking a shit. My God this is terrible

I heard the cartels have a sale this weekend on NVIDIA cards

Uninstalled uber last week when it told me to take a photo of my ID to ride. Next week I’ll hear about some Brazilian hacker that has 100 million US IDs from an uber leak. No thanks. Lyft will probably do the same thing soon, and I’ll unceremoniously dump their ass too.

Jellyfin. The HDDs were only ~$110 each. Seagate 5400s but w/e it’s mass storage. No raid, drives will just be filled, cloned, and the clone dropped into a second system, also with no windows 🤬

Just finished building a new PC last night, 64GB RAM, 8GB vRAM, 2TB m.2, 8x8TB HDD, and windows will never goddamn touch it. It feels weird, but so far so good.

Imagine getting a bud light ad while you’re blowing into your ignition interlock device

I’m that thin too. Do you know how fucking tired I am of hearing about how I’m “bordering on anorexic”? Shut the fuck up, I probably eat more than you. You’re right, there are a lot of stupid comments in here, as you put it. But they all sound like you. Reread your comments with the new understanding that there are thin people reading them too.

This is just a bunch of fat people collectively saying ‘ew you should eat more’ and it’s gross.

Hopefully he gets stuck in the 2Ds I can’t even see.

What’s your best guess at how whatsapp manages to generate AI summaries of your private messages without ever reading the private messages?

Even a cursory attempt at defending these companies is a bad joke.

to develop a customized and segregated area within Azure that has facilitated the army’s mass surveillance project.

Keeping with the example, the bus company spun up a separate assembly line to make busses specifically designed to rob banks.
