A brand that has been known for nothing but luxury sports cars for decades, including by people who don’t even follow car culture, is hardly one that would need to increase brand recognition. I’d expect that from a new company, not one with nearly 80 years operating under the same name

From memory, the count starts at 8, then it goes up and up to 15, when the last puppy apparently dies, but with some massaging comes back. I think it was Pongo that got weak on the legs with a dumb smile. Talking about the original cartoon movie anyway, I much preferred it over the live action

I thought the initial litter was 15? I vaguely recall the human dude going “EIGHT!?” when the counting began

There are no easy bucks to be made. If it was easy, it’d already be done.

Legally. There’s plenty of easy bucks to be made if you lack morals, ethics and doesn’t care about the law. Scammers and religious figures come to mind.

where is?

The biggest hurdle is getting a phone that you even can install a custom ROM or different OS. 'mericans and yuropeans can get their pixels, pinephones and similars easily, other places cannot.

If only they sold stuff that the people talking about it could afford in the first place, maybe that’d boost their sales.

the team’s solution is to render set-top devices useless through a software update controlled by them, rather than the manufacturer or whichever entity typically handles that.

ISPs in Brazil already hijack DNS requests for the purpose of blocking access to pirate sites. Typically, that involves an internet user attempting to access ‘Blocked Site A’ in their browser, and ISPs’ DNS servers directing the user to a blocking page instead. Assuming that a set-top box tries to access a particular domain name to receive an update, those requests can also be diverted to a different server.

Solution: never update the device.

Meanwhile, the victorious six-person team picked up a cash prize of R$7,000 for taking first place; that’s around US$1,200 or US$200 each after the split.

Wow. Just wow. I sure hope they get something more out of that, because 1200 dollars for fucking up who knows how many shitty chinese android boxes is worse than doing it for free. From a related article from TF:

Cybersecurity companies charge millions of dollars to solve problems smaller than this.

Neocities is already a modern geocities, so there’s that

I love how the new logo could be literally done in less than a minute on fucking microsoft office. They didn’t even bother with a cool looking font, just generic curvy shit

The majority of people vote with their gut and won’t look deep into what politician A is promising, so long as one of the promises is exactly the thing the person wants. For a considerable number of gamers, it’s dealing with woke culture. Trump is a fervent enemy of “the woke”, but he also promised hefty import tariffs on everything, so consoles can get really damn expensive. But hey, the woke sjw’s are getting owned!!

This piece on Aftermath touches an important point as well, that left leaning content often takes care to not spout random bullshit, while right leaning will just say whatever because haha engagement goes brrrrrrr.

Going off a tangent, the Brazilian right complains that “the poor vote with their bellies”, implying they’ll vote for whoever promises “free money” or “free meals”, usually in the form of govt programs. During election years, the right will try to claim they were the masterminds behind every sort of program meant to help poor people, such as Bolsa Familia, while loudly and constantly complaining about their existence and doing everything in their power to block money outside election years. It’s common to find people who depend(ed) on Bolsa Familia to survive that complain about “freeloaders” that “want to be fed by the government”. A good portion of right-wingers also believe that the govt pays a whole minimum wage to every person in jail, despite this bullshit being debunked several times already.

Just tried, while 4.3 didn’t crash when changing to material preview, it did freeze for a good 10 seconds on the default cube. Closing and doing it again was fast, however. Changing the color of the default material the first time also froze blender for 3 seconds. Fooling around with other material options, such as Subsurface weight, again froze the program, this time for over 20 seconds. Judging from what was shown on the Statistics part I turned on (I never understood why this is off by default), all these freezes are shader compilations, so hopefully they are one time things

It’s pretty clear this is Narayama’s dream, the “good old times”

But I’m not talking about the fig— eh, that club

I hope 4.3 is stable now, because I had to fallback to 3.6 because of how much 4.2 would crash for no reason. Want to see Material View? Crash. Fooled around for 30 minutes? Crash. Tried to load a stl with over 1m triangles? Crash.

On a computer, that’s easy. On a phone, not so much, especially if the field lacks anything that will bring up the keyboard

Murthy claimed he himself worked six and a half days a week until retirement, typically 14 hours and 10 minutes a day, clocking on at 6:20 AM before downing tools at 8:30 PM.

Yeah, sure you did, pal.

“This man has been given too much of an importance by asking his opinion about everything under the sun. His words remind me of those exploitative barons of medieval ages from whom the 8 hours work day rights had to be snatched,” quipped a commenter who claims to be a former Infosys employee.

True words, my friend.

“Reading”

Strangely enough, reading RPG and skirmish game rulebooks doesn’t seem to fit that bill.
