If you’re doing hashing and salting on the client then yep it’s useless, no difference to just using a hash output as a password.
If on the other hand you’re doing a zero-knowledge password proof method then it’s quite secure. As the password is never transmitted over the network, not even the server knows what it is, but can still verify the user has the correct one.
e.g. Mastodon has been around for years, is actually really federated, not owned by a corporation, and a lot more features than BlueSky… but bluesky already has more users and i think largely because: marketing… how are people going to talk about “Mastodon” when they’ve probably never even heard the word before? (also named after a cool band, but not suitable for the masses).
Also fewer syllables, which apparently has a noticeable impact.
Yeah, I was prescribed them when I was younger (The wonders of living in a state that still doesn’t fluoridate the water supply). They were small little red pills that you had to chew on and then rub the “paste” on your teeth with your tongue.
Imagine basically dehydrated toothpaste, had a chalky texture, not the greatest.
Explain to me the science of how swallowing fluoride protects teeth.
Easy, you don’t swallow them.
They’re chewables.
He could have tried to fight the order, that’s what the previous management used to do.
From a quick search it seems that the mobo uses a Realtek audio chip, which is probably the actual problem. My current system build uses one and it barely worked under Windows, it’d randomly remap the channels, sometimes it just wouldn’t come up properly (Showed as only a microphone, etc.), had lots of static noise, would constantly think I was unplugging and replugging headphones in, etc. Just a terrible experience compared to the Intel audio system the build before this used.
As much as “just buy another bit of hardware” is an awful bit of advice, I’d recommend getting a USB DAC/soundcard, I bought a cheap soundblaster one and it fixed all my problems. USB audio is a well-defined standardised protocol that’s supported by just about everything, does away with any driver issues or incompatibilities, can be moved between devices, etc. Mine’s a “gaming” model so it’s just a USB port on one side and a headset jack on the other, but you can also get ones with proper inbuilt amplifiers to run full speaker kits, etc.
It’s an easy fix at least, just check if you’re comparing numbers on both sides and switch to a simple numerical sort.
I think Windows used to get this wrong, but it was fixed so long ago that I’m not even sure now.
This is what my comment was about. You can’t make social change with super powers. Super powers are a tool of physical force. I’m sure someone could write a great story about a super hero leading a violent and justified revolution, but you can’t possibly expect that to be a hallmark of the genre.
One of the marvel movies has a line about how Stark Industries is now the world leader in clean energy thanks to his arc reactor, that would have a massive societal impact and upend existing power structures, but it’d also make for a pretty boring film.
While there would be some people who’d watch RDJ sit in meetings for 2 hours making agreements, it wouldn’t be the same amount that’d watch him put on the suit and punch people into orbit.
Edit: Actually, on the other hand in Secret Invasion
the US president has the UK prime minster assassinated on live television
And even in universe they seem to have glossed over that.
It’s more like QEMU actually.
Yeah, I think Windows actually handles it quite well, the actual filesystem has no notion of what the filenames are outside of basic “It’s UTF-16”, it’s the OS filesystem layer that handles all the quirks.
Because that’s what people seem to dismiss, there’s no one standard notion of case folding. It depends on the locale you’re using, and that shouldn’t be built into the FS itself. The classic one was the German “long S”, where “SS” should be case folded with “ß”, except they changed it in 2024 so now they shouldn’t match (“ß” becomes “ẞ” now), good luck updating your FS to support rules like that.
Now your shell? That’s easy, you can just warn the user that a “matching” filename already exists and prompt them to change it, and you can vary those warnings based on the locale, and you can push out updates as easily as any other patch.
Yeah I think they’re generally regarded as a mistake, browsers have removed all the UI signifying an EV cert these days.
They are, that’s why the US has sanctioned them, hindering the investigations into what’s happening in Sudan, etc.
