If you ask any British person in my generation, "Badger badger badger badger?" they'll probably join in. I don't think you appreciate how viral and beloved it is.

The process uses the depth of the toner layer to make a mould of the physical ridges, which you use to generate a a gelatine cast of them. It's like a single-layer depth 3D print where the medium is fused toner from the laser printer.

There's also the issue that the device is covered in fingerprints, and if you can build a clean image of the print, you can likely manufacture a gelatin copy of that fingerprint that will work on most fingerprint scanners.

I can't speak to the current generation of Apple fingerprint scanners, but historically iirc you can grab a print, clean it up in Photoshop, print it on OHP transparency using a laser printer and use it like a mould to copy a fingerprint.

Before the plague shut down the place I got my larger bottle refilled, I got a mid-size standard CO2 to SodaStream adapter from Ali Express. Saved me a fortune hooked up direct to the SodaStream, especially as sparkling water was intermittently surprisingly difficult to get hold of during those times. I should contact the gas supplier, see where the nearest point is now.

Looks smooth, but holy motion sickness.

Given the impact of international terrorism and crime on India, minimising illicit money flow in and out of the country seems an inherently sensible precaution.

When I was starting out as a kid learning to make applications, moving from VB6 to Delphi was such a huge improvement.

Tempted to use a client's plotter and roll of paper to print this off.

I missed this story directly elsewhere, only saw this story from the Preston Stewart interview that OP has linked.

Hunterbrook exposed that the distribution network for an American company, Ubiquti (allegedly), knowingly supplied Russia after the start of the Ukrainian war. Doing so in clear breach of sanctions.

US gear being used to facilitate attacks on Ukrainian civilians and military.

To say "Ubiquiti could likely do more..." is a massive understatement.

Is it not more "VST author just does the bare minimum to keep honest people honest, because more invasive DRM risks ruining a live performance"? I'm not understanding why TFA author has such an attitude about this. Is the VST author a horrible person or running a toxic business model or something?

Omores did a video on it with NT 4.0, and the description says it does also work with NT 3.5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvT9-ZfW1Iw

For those of us who like seeing old OSs running on old bare metal to a daft extent, a YouTuber "Omores" is worth a look:

https://www.youtube.com/@O_mores

He has videos on this driver running on NT and 2000.

I'm in the UK and have McDonalds semi-regularly. A few times a month at least. Get a receipt, fill out the online feedback form, get a code. Put the code in the app, get an offer for £2.99 sandwhich (McPlant, Big Mac, whatever the chicken thing is) and either fries or a salad. £2.99 for a McPlant and fries at 3am is a godsend.

There's at least two in the Cardiff City Centre, one on St Mary St and one on Queen St.

Having used both at normal and at peak pisshead hours, they're both alright.

Not great, not a disaster. Slightly understaffed, and occasionally short on English language skills, but there's not an issue if you want hot food (inc vegetarian and vegan) or drinks at a daft hour.

My sincerest apologies to Eben. I don't know how I flubbed that, as I opened another tab and searched for him so I knew I'd get the spelling of his surname right. A fellow Welshman and everything! I am suitably embarrassed.

I took too long to write my comment, you beat me to the punch. I didn't plagiarise your comment, but I do largely agree!
