By "Entered for the first time", I assume you mean after a fresh boot? If so, that means the phone is Before First Unlock (BFU), where the user data is actually encrypted. The "Lock Screen is just a UI" applies to After First Unlock where its just a UI element. BFU and AFU are essentially the core two states in the mobile device security world. Not sure why it would take a long time on Samsung devices though, it's usually almost instant on most handsets.

Actually many brands pay for their own TLD, though most go unused (publicly).

Most old PC laptops have external batteries you can detach by pulling out on a springloaded tab. Even MacBooks are possible to run without the battery, but it requires some NVRAM trickery IIRC.

Some older MacBook and MacBook Pro models reduce processor speed and GPU performance roughly by half when running without a battery, to avoid shutting down if the computer needs more power than the AC adapter can provide.

Apple documented the behavior in a support note. I’m not sure if the Apple Silicon models do the throttling as well. I guess the situation doesn't come up as often since the batteries are no longer user-removable.


At least on older Macbook there's a way to override BD PROCHOT MSR setting to undo the slowdown.

I’ve got a 2017 MacBook Pro with a dead screen, dead keyboard & trackpad and no battery sitting behind my sofa, closed in a vertical stand and running macOS as a test server. Open Core Legacy Patcher will allow you to boot without the CPU slow down: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

I have the same device, did you just remove the battery after installing opencore? last I tried, I got omarchy running on it but now it just boots to the startup disk always. Not sure what's wrong.

Always love to see another XMR maxi out in the wild. I've been saying this for years, I never understood the point of NFTs or any other blockchain-based technology but the capabilities XMR provides are legitimately useful. It's basically the closest thing we have to digital cash, gas fees are super low and there's minimal centralization of the network versus other currencies. Also fluctuates less in value so it works better as an actual currency versus some "speculative asset".

It's what normies thing btc is and what satoshi would have changed it into if he was still around/ not a fed/ still in control.

Interesting, is this a recent model? I am literally RE-ing commercial software live with the classic Opus 4.8 as I type this, no refusals and happily made a PoC which could easily be used for (physical) harm if used by the wrong person.

Of course, I had to assuage the clankers fears by setting up a fake scenario before sending the one-shot, but I assume everyone does that nowadays.


This was Opus 5.5, with a task that substantially overlaps with defeating the anti-cheat of an AAA publisher.

Local and open source models are more important than ever, or those who control the hardware will dictate what AI can or cannot be used for.


Just gave this a try. I asked Opus 5.5 for help stripping the smart TV features from my LG TV. Got sent down to Opus 4.8. Fortunately it had no qualms about helping me... for the moment.

I asked how to flash a custom WebOS to my tv and it did the same thing.

The issue with all these projects is they host `ObliterateSwitchDRM` on GitHub under their account @FrankJohnson with the bio "The one and only Frank Johnson at 123 Mainstreet Ave. In San Francisco, CA working for Google!" and go all shockedpikachuface when Nintendo sends them a 'fuck you' letter through their gaggle of lawyers.

If you're @schizomariofan185 who hosts the project on a Gitlab/Forgejo/whathaveyou on fucknintendo.su hosted on a VPS in Bulgaria/Russia/Romania paid for with crypto, they will literally NEVER find you. Such an effort could easily be crowdfunded by the community. Bonus points if you yourself reside in one of those countries, so they can't even do anything to you, if they somehow did.


What does seeing one political party say almost ubiquitously down the aisle "we need to regulate AI more heavily", and as such deriving "they want to regulate AI more heavily", have to do with "AI psychosis"?

Are you just espousing buzzwords you've heard but don't understand the meaning of?


The specific allegation being made here is that this website and the HN comment thread is "lobbyist work." Paranoid delusions are a textbook symptom of literal, actual psychosis.

MediaWiki also has it as a dependency OOTB.

But then that removes the "feature Apache has that no other webserver does" and brings back GGP's point about "what does Apache offer over other webservers like nginx"

> But then that removes the "feature Apache has that no other webserver does" […]

Disabling the feature does not remove it.

If I do not turn on my car's windshield wipers, do they get "removed"?


But, if we concede that it's a misfeature (and that it's not valid to criticize the project for having it, as it can be disabled), then what advantage is there in having it?

You can't have it both ways. Either it's a misfeature but it 'doesn't matter' because it can be disabled, or its a legitimate feature in which case you must therefore defend the existence and purpose of the feature.


When you need (or want) it, you turn it on and accept a few more filesystem look ups, in exchange for convenience and not having to edit the main config.

When you don't need it, great, you've got slightly better performance.


> But, if we concede that it's a misfeature […]

Why would this be conceded?

> Either it's a misfeature but it 'doesn't matter' because it can be disabled, or its a legitimate feature in which case you must therefore defend the existence and purpose of the feature.

Just because I don't (currently) use it doesn't preclude someone else from doing so, and if that someone else wants to explain their use-case that's their prerogative.


But you can selectively use the option: allowing the feature where it is useful (user web dirs perhaps, or individual dirs even more selectively) and disabling it elsewhere.

The 3DS was similar but actually used yet another type of connector. It's very common to find aftermarket chargers that have a USB-A on one end and a split dual DS+3DS connector on the other.

Both generations of console technically take 4.6v and not 5v, but in practice it doesn't matter. That may be why Nintendo didn't just make it micro USB directly (or why they never sold an official USB-A charger for the DS/3DS, only ever wall-wart) though.
