A thing I have periodically been pointing out for like 20 years now that nobody else seems to know is that you can write CSS that controls how your web page will look when it is printed out. You can even set up completely separate stylesheets for printing, and the browser will be smart enough to automatically use them when the user hits "print"

Yep. I've used this before.

I really should add print CSS to my project release pages, though.

"Who Killed Asmodean?" was by far the most commonly asked question Robert Jordan received. He said the answer should be "intuitively obvious to the casual observer." So, who did you think it was at first?

I had no clue, but I still think he meant this remark in the way that such a phrase would be understood by students of mathematics or physics hearing it from their professors: that is, if you think really hard about it for some weeks then you ought to be able to reconstruct the chain of reasoning using only information you currently have. (And in fact since https://m.fanfiction.net/s/4975913/1/Sherlock-Holmes-Examines-the-Death-of-Asmodean got it exactly right in 2000 or so, he was right!)

Wrote an article about turning a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen laptop into a programmable USB device by enabling the xDCI controller ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Now I can emulate USB devices from the laptop without any external hardware, including via Raw Gadget or even Facedancer ๐Ÿ˜

The overall process included fiddling with Linux kernel drivers, xHCI, DWC3, ACPI, BIOS/UEFI, Boot Guard, TPM, NVRAM, PCH, PMC, PSF, IOSF, and P2SB, and making a custom USB cable ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

the lock bits being reset during S3 sleep and not re-locked seems like an evergreen design failure. Thunderstrike 2 used a similar mistake (PRR lock bits not re-locked soon enough coming out of S3 sleep) and Prince Harming was a regression (PRR bits not re-locked at all on a new platform). https://trmm.net/Thunderstrike2_details/#darth-venamis

Mi preoccupa molto il Piracy Shield introdotto, anche se non vedo partite piratate o sia possessore di "pezzotto", ma per le implicazioni a corto/lungo termine che porta.
รˆ notizia di un paio di giorni fa che insieme agli ip di alcuni siti di streaming video siano stati indiscriminatamente bloccati in toto gli ip di 2 CDN (cloud4c.com e parte di zenlayer), rendendo impossibile anche a chi avesse servizi leciti li sopra di essere raggiunti dall'Italia, l'organo che si occupa della faccenda (agcom) รจ un organo privato che si erge a "controllore", "multatore" e "bloccatore". Con il mer(d)aviglioso governo fascista che abbiamo ci vorrร  poco affinchรฉ da un utilizzo anti pirateria si passi ai blocchi per fini politici adducendo motivazioni fantasiose (tipo il decreto antisemitismo di Salvini per gli artisti e le tv).

Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).

The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .

#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.

When I was a smartass computer nerd in the 80s and 90s, an eternal theme was friends and family sheepishly asking me for tech support help, and me slowly, patiently explaining to them that computers aren't scary, they're actually predictable, they won't explode or erase your data (unless you really make an effort), and they operate by simple (if somewhat arcane) rules. Edit > Cut, then click, then Edit > Paste. Save As. Use tabs, not spaces. Stuff like that. Maybe not easy, but simple, or at least consistent and learnable.

But that's not true anymore.

User interfaces lag. Text lies. Buttons don't click. Buttons don't even look like buttons! Panels pop up and obscure your workspace and you can't move or remove them -- a tiny floating x and a few horizontal lines is all you get. Mobile and web apps lose your draft text, refresh at whim, silently swallow errors, mysteriously move shit around when you're not looking, hide menus, bury options, don't respect or don't remember your chosen settings. Doing the same thing gives different results. The carefully researched PARC principles of human-computer interaction -- feedback, discoverabilty, affordances, consistency, personalization -- all that fundamental Don Norman shit -- have been completely discarded.

My tech support calls now are about me sadly explaining there's nothing I can do. Computers suck now. They run on superstition, not science. It's a real tragedy for humanity and I have no idea how to fix it.

in reply to Alex C

@technicat the original Mac UI devs noticed and solved so many problems in *1986* that more recent Web 2.0+ frontend devs just ignore -- like this one, *drag delay* -- solving the problem that when the user moves their cursor towards an item on a popup menu, the mouse may drift outside the lines momentarily *en route*, so you should make sure not to close the menu prematurely; these days lots of popup menus instantly pop closed if you stray outside their bounds #UI #UX

Is there anyone who lives near Bruxelles Midi station reading this today? I just came though Eurostar on way back to the UK and my friend's ice axe was confiscated, despite the letter from Eurostar saying "alpine equpiment (crampons and ice axe) _is_ permitted". We persuaded them to hold it for 24 hours before destroying it, so I am hoping to find someone very helpful who could go there to rescue it and give it to me at FOSDEM to post back to the UK.
