4·1 year agoSounds like someone wasn't able to ship product and had their licensing pulled…
Hilarious that it even embedded the tweet so you can see it’s not an accurate quote.
Bad enough when humans do it, adding nothing.
14·1 year agoYou’d think it should be easy:
-
Is the call coming into the US from a foreign exchange?
-
Does the caller ID indicate a local US area code?
If both are true, block the call.
-
Text encoding is SUPER basic and anyone looking to get involved in Linux or scripting absolutely should know that stuff FIRST.
Source: I was teaching Linux 23 years ago before it was cool.
Here’s a good primer:
URL encoding:
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.ASPEntity encoding:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.aspReally, ALL of the W3Schools stuff is just fantastic. Anyone remotely interested in this stuff should start at the beginning there and work up.
Not in HTML. Never has worked that way.
Special reserved characters have always been handled this way because you don’t want to accidentally interpret something the wrong way.
Same for URL encoding. You upload “Clever Name.PDF” to a website and it generates a URL of “Clever%20Name.PDF” because spaces aren’t valid in URLs. %20 is the code for a space.
OP noted: “Don’t get me started on how this messes up linux commands and scripts”
If you’re running linux commands and scripts, you’re not a normal user and should know this already. :) It’s only been the standard for 30 years or so.
& is how & is represented in HTML.
If you need a literal &, then preceed it with an escape character like “\”.
Aha! Makes sense!
26th? I thought it was the 21st?
27·1 year agoI don’t get the surprise… Apple has ALWAYS been like this. They don’t want “normies” screwing around with “their” gear.
Heck, you needed a case cracker tool to open the OG Macintosh machines, they were specifically engineered to keep people out.

My work software kept seeing weird bugs in Chrome, so I switched permanently.
If you’re doing this in a business environment, I wouldn’t fool around with a home rolled option and would just go straight with a Websense subscription:

1·1 year agoProbably what it is. Someone on a student Visa or some such.
You’d want a 2nd chart I’d think with the #1 “from” country for each European country.
That’s only 1/2 the stat though…
What countries are the international students coming FROM?
People won’t pay for something that used to be free… OTOH, neither will bot farms.
Either case will end Twitter, so I say go for it!
Possible to take the hardware, wipe it, install Linux and not worry about expiration?
11·1 year agoIt’s actually VERY well regarded. You just have never watched it.
No, I’ve just seen the movie probably a dozen times since it came out, it’s a joy each and every time.
I was part of the hardcore build it yourself crew for years and years, but I find now that for the last 10 years or so now, and especially with the death of places like Fry's and all the bullshit Newegg pulled, it's way easier and cheaper to buy a pre-built box that's maybe 90-95% there, then tweak what you need to tweak.
Get that manufacturers warranty and forget trying to part it out yourself.
$3,500 here.
