Do those code snippets on the Stackoverflow post allow you to capture the entire screen regardless of which app is open, or do they only allow you to capture the app the code is running in?

Capturing the app itself makes sense (for things like bug reports) but does Android really let any app capture whatever is on the screen?

The one time I do connect the TV to the internet is when there’s a firmware update that fixes an issue I’m encountering. That’s rare though. I still have it on my network so I can control it using Home Assistant (eg have a backlight come on and dim the main lights when the TV is turned on) but it’s on an isolated VLAN.

This is why my TV is on a separate VLAN (with no internet access) and I use an Nvidia Shield for streaming. I haven’t seen any indication that the Shield does anything like this.

I was going to say “that article mostly just seems to debunk the ‘my phone is always listening to me’ conspiracy theory” but then I got to the part about over 50% of analyzed Android apps having permission to take screenshots :/

Very interesting. I’ve ordered two BMWs and both of them were shipped from Germany to the USA using NYK Line. I figured that using a shipping company would be what all (or most) of the other manufacturers would do too

Wow I didn’t realise BYD have their own RORO ships. I guess they really want to have a fully vertically-integrated supply chain. Do any other car companies have their own ships?

They’re developers rather than managers, but many are senior or staff level.

As far as I know, most of the major streaming services use Widevine L1. Some (like Netflix) use L3 for resolutions up to 720p and L1 for higher resolutions.

Can’t states have laws that are stricter than federal law though? California has a lot of laws that are stricter than federal laws, for example tighter regulation of guns, better worker protection (for things like overtime and rest breaks), etc. I don’t get how laws about cars are any different.

is free

What is their business model?

I know plenty of people in big tech that don’t like this AI stuff either.

A lot of video streaming sites (maybe most of them?) used a chunked video format like HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) or DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP), where the video is split into a large number of ~5 second clips, rather than having a single video file. All video streaming services that change video quality based on bandwidth uses technologies like these.

The videos are likely also encrypted with a DRM scheme like Widevine. yt-dlp can take a HLS or DASH stream and stick all the small video files back together, but I don’t think it can deal with DRM. Videos with DRM also can’t be captured using screen recording software, unless you do something like using a HDMI cable that strips HDCP.

See if yt-dlp supports the site. If you have an Android phone or tablet, you could try the YTDLnis app.

Even if they don’t release the data publicly, they’ll likely continue selling it on the black market even if they get the ransom payment. You really can’t expect criminals to be truthful if they have a chance to make even more money.

Never pay a ransom. The entire reason ransomware works is because people/companies pay the ransom. If nobody paid the ransom, ransomware wouldn’t be anywhere near as common as it is now.

It’s the same thing with scalpers of event tickets, GPUs, etc. If people stopped buying scalped stuff, the scalpers wouldn’t have a market and there’d be far fewer of them.

I don’t understand how the Senate can block a Californian law. Aren’t states supposed to have the autonomy to make their own laws?

Thanks for the reply!

The original use case was as an antidepressant (for humans). Its usage for dogs and for treating insomnia are both use cases that came later on.

Somehow it’s the only old-school P2P network that’s not only survived, but still thrives even today. So many rare songs on there. It turned 24 years old last month. All the others from the same era (like Napster, Kazaa, Limewire, etc) are long gone. ed2k is still around but mostly dead.

The chat rooms are also old-school unmoderated chat rooms, so expect the worst of humanity to be in there.

If you have a home server, slskd is great. It’s an alternate Soulseek app that’s a server with a web UI.

preliminary NOVA driver code merged for the future Rust-written open-source NVIDIA kernel driver.

Is this based on the existing open-source driver (https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules) or will it be entirely new?

Is this why Business Insider articles are trash? They have so many clickbait headlines (including Buzzfeed-style ones like “we tried five things. You won’t believe which one was the best”) attached to articles that aren’t worth reading. Whenever I click one in Google News, I usually regret increasing their view count.
