bue-rays can evaporate even faster, thanks to drm, you often find yourself with players that don't allow old blue-rays or computers with cpu's that no longer implement some protection mechanism

as long as computers have existed you have always been able to install an application from your preferred source, it is unconscionable and anticompetitive to impose a fee only if the application is installed from a third party source.

is like having a cookie wall where pressing accept all is a single click, instead to do reject all you have to uncheck 50 checkboxes one at a time.

apple is doing the same thing by saying it's okay I use app store vs. I want freedom, because for the first choice it's easy, for the second choice they put a big tax in front of you

the law is still in a state where it has not been implemented since the technical part is missing, the body that is dealing with it is agcom (an Italian state agency for telecommunications), the problem is that the platform is not developed by the state but the Italian Football league provided their platform to agcom for free and agcom accepted it without asking any questions.

the problem is that this platform is not neutral, the Football league delegated to an espect copyright protection company to develop it, they have the full power of this platform.

the creators of the platform were the same ones who lobbied the Italian state to convince them in making a law that allows them to be able to block any ip or domain within 30 minutes and without any verification

I worked as an apprentice at the age of 15/16 in a store where they develop software but also provide hardware support for consumer devices (phones, computers, etc.), a customer asked me if it was possible for me to cut off his phone battery with a hacksaw because it wouldn't fit in the case

he was incredulous when I told him it couldn't be done and tried to explain that even trying is dangerous but he didn't want to give up, I hope he didn't try at home

with this intermediate protocol within tls you're just adding a fixed (or almost fixed) size to the data being transferred and the timing I think is indifferent

Honestly I find this article too vague, and if you process large amounts of data you rarely do so with orderly reads and writes, even with databases optimized for fast disks (see rocksdb) have disks as a bottleneck even with the most recently developed hardware.

if traffic passes under tls shouldn't it be possible to figure out the content or type of content transmitted/received, shouldn't just an ip over tls be enough?

I don't like that there is a horizontal scroll bar, it's uncomfortable to use and I'm not familiar with them, it would be convenient to make that with the mouse leaving the left button pressed it would be possible to make a gesture from left to right and vice versa to be able to move instead of using the horizontal scroll bar

edit: I saw that it is possible to move around using the top left buttons but I find them inconvenient

general comment and not just about this post:

on hackernews we keep seeing relatively dead projects made in go in a few lines of code that promise to handle a really large amount of data in a short time, every time we end up with fake benchmarks or partial implementations of how it should really be, please before criticising the real projects (which unlike them are larger than tens of thousands of lines) check the claims carefully.

The European Commission has informed Apple of its preliminary view that it abused its dominant position in markets for mobile wallets on iOS devices. By limiting access to a standard technology used for contactless payments with mobile devices in stores (‘Near-Field Communication (NFC)' or ‘tap and go'), Apple restricts competition in the mobile wallets market on iOS.

Destiny 2 is not supported for play on the Steam Deck or on any system utilizing Steam Play’s Proton unless Windows is installed and running. Players who attempt to launch Destiny 2 on the Steam Deck through SteamOS or Proton will be unable to enter the game and will be returned to their game library after a short time.

Players who attempt to bypass Destiny 2 incompatibility will be met with a game ban.

I personally have a very famous and used telegram bot in Italy, I passively earn from it by inserting highly targeted advertising, the success is due to the fact that I advertise only one thing a month by asking the client a very large number of users to reach so as to be able to sell it in high figures.

~0.012 euros for each user reached.

Ton, one year after the SEC blocks the coin (and its ico) now thanks to the community is back more alive than ever. Durov (the owner of telegram) has given (for free to the community) http://ton.org and http://ton.sh, now the project is maintained regularly, there are hundreds of validators and miners, Ton in a few hours will be put in a famous exchange

In italy there is a company called rai that broadcasts multimedia content on television, since the time of my grandparents was imposed a tax on anyone who had a television (all the money from this tax goes to this company, even if you do not watch their channels), for decades no one has paid this tax and the state has never done anything against. a few years ago was imposed this tax in the electricity bill, in fact every August the electricity bill is much more expensive because we are obliged to pay this tax.

now they want to impose the same tax on anyone who has a smartphone, by the way their app works only with google play services and widevine
