Reply to Would it be stretching it to call the Wii U controller inspired by the Dreamcast controller? by Wahaha

Dreamcast still has many patented things and also had more features.

Dreamcast had optional little lcd scrren and buttons for poker games, football strategy games, so multiplayers had secret bids

Dreamcast had rumble

no time to go through all solutions, but this plugin from 12 months ago should do the trick at a perfect brute force way, but I dont know if a bad actor can use browser fingerprint to shove it in anyway.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dont-accept-webp/

This extension monitors and edits request headers using the onBeforeSendHeaders API

TRY THAT PLUGIN.

If it works, vile web sites like youtube should show blank white squares for video previews.

many http web development tools including free ones, can do ANYTHING with any data sent or received from firefox and have persistent scripts. "ModHeader" is one fun one.

Apple did, often since 2017, scan faces for 30,000 data points in 3d FOR EMOTION TRACKING in Animojis in 2017 and later, but now in 2021 they do it on home screen and measure pupil and study gaze direction.

SInce 2017 for their Animojis, lots of links. But now in 2021 they use pupil and gaze track to dim screen, and encode 3d faces to cloud. They call the 30,000 plotted 3d pixels... NOT A PHOTO in court documents, when they can be trivially used to make a accurate photo from the 30,000 plotted points.

Reply to comment by Rambler in Buffer overruns, license violations, and bad code: FreeBSD 13’s close call by z3d

I don't really care about that, seems like 4Chan level bickering at that point. I care more about the poor code pushed out.

Me too.

That said, lots of fun memories hanging around some skilled FreeBSD programmers in San Francisco years ago, with me busting their chops.

Their biggest complaint? Any cool driver fixes for "pc platform" USB , Audio, Network Cards, etc was lifted, duped , forked to OpenBSD , etc, then rapidly "stolen" AND COPY-LEFTED with GPL and shoved into Linux with new restrictive headers rubber stamped on all files... and crippled by GPL.

They REALLY really believe in totally free software and puke at hypocritical GPL2 GPL3 etc.

FASTMAIL not in that list?

FASTMAIL lets the account admin ENFORCE encryption on both SMTP directions , or else emil will not transmit in either direction.

It protects company intellectual property that way.

But... any singatures on payloads needs to be done on other ends.

fastmail costs a lot but its the best

Probably, but maybe it will just limit it to a few minutes per web site.

Also too many new "free web games" that mine Monero while you play the free game. Monero sent to the Russian hackers of course, not to the app game players.
