Do you think a compiler always has to compile to the exact CPU it’s running on? You could target PowerPC on an x86 CPU if you just set the appropriate target flags (and had a compiler that supports it)

Speaking of which, you can compile binaries for 32-bit ARM on x86 as well; just run it on your desktop and then copy over the binary.

You can still see a WiFi network (and tell that it is unique from others) even when it’s not broadcasting SSID. It’s just one less piece of information available when someone is trying to access it.

Security through obscurity isn’t security, but it’ll keep neighborhood kids from trying to guess the password from across the street. On a warship? They’d have still seen it.

As long as the network exists

Once again, for the executives with CTEs in the back:

Piracy is a service problem. These people are fans and they can’t afford your product, or it’s simply not available in your area. Make up the loss on price reduction and availability through sales volume. Cut out toxic partners who try to MBA you into gouging. You’ll still be rich and your brand won’t be damaged from all the gouging & prosecuting you’ll be doing otherwise. What are you, fuckin Nintendo?

In America we’ve had several instances of undisclosed webcam monitoring of children via school issued devices.

I think /mnt is where you manually mount a hard drive or other device if you’re just doing it temporarily, and /media has sub folders for stuff like cdrom drives or thumb drives?

Manga is Japanese comic books; the “print version of anime” if you will. Lots of anime is based on manga.

It doesn’t make any sense in the context of the document, though; which why I wonder if it was a mistaken translation

Yeah but if they go on mission and “go dark” then you still have this starlink thing that may or may not be disabled by the person smuggling it on board. It may also be connected to official things if the owner has bad intentions, or if someone else who does finds it and co-opts it.

There is a lot that could go wrong with unauthorized radio transmission equipment on a warship, and not all of it is obvious.

Mistranslation of “Maga”?

I’d be a fan of a law that requires local control through standardized hardware and software protocols for any devices sold.

And no, I don’t think the standard needs to be codified into law, but I do think it should meet minimum requirements.

I’ve been on “New, 6 hours” since the beginning and even that seems stagnant. At times, there’s lots of cross posting.
