LibreSSL removed NPN support seven years ago.

I wonder how many memory leaks it'll take for OpenSSL to finally get their act together or for major projects to drop it entirely.

Yes. Most professional photo editing and management software has built-in functionality or an add-on for lens distortion correction. However it either requires having the original photo, or at least a non-cropped version with the exif data, or some knowledge of what body and lens and focal length was used.

This utility doesn't require the original non-cropped area nor any other information about the picture that was taken. You could scrape a bunch of pictures from Instagram or Facebook and batch process away.

The game gear was extremely lousy to use. Too small of a screen, ate through batteries incredibly quickly, the original, external battery pack (not included) was poorly made and didn't help that much either.

And the game selection early on was pretty lousy too. Sonic was only fun for a while.

People are doing amazing things with game gear hardware as of late, though. All of that addressed spectacularly.

> We'll never figure out how to do it because it's unethical to experiment on humans.

Ah, yes, we never do that. All of our advancements in medical and psychological sciences just pop into existence out of no where!

> It's all half-assed woowoo nonsense meant to bolster this or that political ideology

Right. And your comments here aren't pushing an agenda at all. Definitely not a bigoted, inhumane agenda.

> If only we knew how to do that.

We'll never figure out how to do it until we actually start trying to rehabilitate people.

> There are places in this country where attitudes develop for many years, decades even, before that person is ever incarcerated.

This is text book bigotry.

> Prisons are for society’s benefit, not for prisoners

It would greatly benefit society to have prisoners be rehabilitated. It's currently just a vicious cycle that produces hardened, repeat offenders that prison companies can make money off, money that comes from tax payers.

Based on this statement it seems like you've never used Duolingo.

> There is no “direct evidence” that the unidentified hackers are using the data they extracted to target customers

Oh, okay, you haven't found any evidence that customer data you leaked is being used yet. Gotcha. Toooootally makes everything better.
