A working QR code in the style of Piet Mondrian. Inspired @divbyzero and @andrewt.

@OscarCunningham @kenshirriff a logical extension of this idea is...

TL;DR:

1) The guy who operates the Yesterworld YouTube channel woke up one day to find his entire channel demonetized. That's nine years of work.

2) He appealed the decision to Google, and Google approved his appeal. All he had to do to restore his ENTIRE INCOME was log in to the Google account that's tied to his AdSense account.

3) He can't log in to that Google account, because that account requires SMS 2FA, and apparently for some non-trivial number of people Google's SMS 2FA is just flat-out broken

4) You'd think that wouldn't be a problem if you'd set up some alternative means of 2FA (like a recovery code), but whatever is breaking SMS 2FA for these users is preventing those things from working too

5) Google knows about all this and doesn't give a shit

6) So Yesterworld guy has been deprived of his ENTIRE INCOME for months, with no prospect of relief because Google's system is an unaccountable nightmare machine

So is this a 7440 or a 604e or a 970FX or what?

Partial eclipse from Germany. Really happy with how this shot turned out. Taken with an Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 and a ToupTek G3M678M.

Hackers, 2000: DMA allows arbitrary memory access!
Vendors: Isn't that great? Kernel debugging is so convenient!

Hackers, 2010: FBI and NSA can use ExpressCard and IEEE 1394 DMA to access memory at will and steal full-disk encryption keys from participants in movements like "Occupy Wall Street"!
Vendors: How many dissidents across the US are actually going to get targeted by the FBI like that?

Hackers, 2020: USB 4 allows arbitrary memory access via DMA, any standard USB device can be used to steal data!
Vendors: Physical security isn't our responsibility - you can just seal off the USB ports.

Hackers, 2025: PCIe DMA enables online game cheats that the system can't detect!
Vendors: Right now! Immediately! Enable IOMMU! Anyone who doesn't enable it gets their account banned!

oh sick, a few months ago the CJEU ruled that an EU citizen who moves to another EU member state and changes gender there must be able to have their new legal gender reflected on the passport issued by their country of citizenship

"please tell me how I can quickly address your objections so we can meet our KPIs, I have a hard stop in 45 minutes" and "you are a human being with a heart and a mind in community with other humans who must give each other grace and time and enough mutual recognition that we can ever possibly have enough safety margin to allow for us to make mistakes" are not really mutually intelligible discourses

git blame, or as they say in france, g'accuse

apparently, in the 1950's, Japan had electronic computers based on something much cheaper, more efficient and more reliable than vacuum tubes: parametrons, which are built around ferrite cores
