They should replace the XPS name with the Longitude. And then the Altitude.

It's used for PCIE so of course it can.

I don't think they can. They would need to rethink their company culture, but because the current one makes big numbers go up, they don't really have to change anything.

I own a Yamaha PSR E403. This series is a lower end class of synthetizer/arranger keyboards targeted towards novice players. Mine also has an identical UI to the one presented here. I wonder if the hack would work on it as well, being a similar model.

My better keyboard is a Yamaha CP88 which is a lot more modern and has updatable firmware. I poked a bit with the update package using binwalk and as far as I could tell it's not encrypted, and runs some version of QNX. My hacking skills aren't as good, but I wonder if that one has similar exploits.

I tend to agree. Being a narcissistic asshole isn't the same as being evil. In the first case, it means doing bad things because you are self centered and have no regard for other people. The bad things aren't done to hurt others, just to in a self serving way. Being evil requires an intent to do harm.

In the US, the purpose of incarceration is cheap slave labor, which is why oligarchs like it this way. Can't have that if inmates have rights and are allowed to have non-slave jobs.

Prison workers in the US are generally exempt from workers' rights and occupational safety protections, including when seriously injured or killed.[43][39] Often times, inmates that are often overworked through penal labor do not receive any proper education or opportunities of "rehabilitation" to maximize profits off the cheap labor produced.[44] Many incarcerated workers also struggle to purchase basic necessities as prices of goods continue to soar, meanwhile prison wages continue to stay the same.

Easier to install puppet governments than try to integrate more angry people into the population.

Obviously, a bidet is the best way to have a clean butt, but baby wipes are a good compromise when in public bathrooms, they clean much better than dry toilet paper. Or wash on the side of the bathtub.

I think it would thrive under a non-profit like the Linux foundation. It doesn't need to make money. It's a critical piece of our tech infrastructure, just like Linux, openssl and other open source projects. Having it in the hands of an ad company whose interests are against the open internet and open standards is not okay.

UI design too. Making a good UI means putting some effort into it, hiring devs native to each platform. But that costs money, so they do the minimum with the cheapest frontend devs they can find using some cross platform html ui technology like electron.

For big contracts between companies, this is actually done, in a way, through source code escrow. Would be nice if this was a thing for consumers as well.
