There is plenty to criticise about insurance companies, how did they stumble upon the one thing that is fine?

I don't get how this was exploited in practise.

Even if the signatures on the downloaded packages weren't checked properly, how would you modify the content of the XML file returned from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php?version=8.8.0 ? For that you'd have to break or MITM the TLS too, no?

The usual case for TLS MITM is when a company decides DPI is more important than E2E encryption and they terminate all TLS on the firewall, but if the firewall is compromised there would be much easier avenues of entry other than notepad++

"and/or" ? Are they expecting you might choose to split yourself up and parts of you get into each?

50 shades of grey. The writing was so cringe that I just couldn't get further than one chapter or so. And I've read some bad writing on AO3 before, so it's not like I'm especially sensitive.

Even Deerannosaurus Rex would need to munch a while on that pile

Not that many it seems... Ignoring extremely pricey ones, I could find the Lenovo ThinkVision E65 LFD for what converts to 1200 USD in a local shop. And even that is not really price competitive.

HDMI has never been an open standard (to the best of my understanding anyway). You’ve always needed to be an adopter or a member of HDMI forum to get the latest (or future) specs. So it’s not like they’ve just rejected a new idea.

Okay not publishing the spec is still the same, but something else is new nonetheless.

AMD is an adopter*, they have the spec and they implemented a driver for 2.1 intended to be open sourced in Linux. But they were still blocked from publishing it. For HDMI 1.4 that wasn't an issue yet from what I've found (though it's always hard to search for non-existence). Open source implementations of HDMI 1.4, even in hardware description languages, seem to exist.

*you can search for "ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES" here to confirm for yourself

If you’re familiar with the pragmatic application of the subjunctive in your own language or others, that may help

When I tried using my dative and accusative case knowledge from German with the objective case "whom" it made me sound weird to the native English speakers I know (American, Australian, Northern English), who mostly stopped using "whom". So in general I'd advise caution with this approach.

Didn't that one just "accidentally" happen when München started building their LiMux distribution, and after Steve Ballmer went to visit them personally?

Bayern is a bit of a conservative shithole if you ask me. Since 1957 the CSU party has always won the leadership of the state executive. They are constantly hindering green energy production and they suck BWM-cock regarding internal combustion engine cars. It does not surprise me, that they are shit on this question too.

Edit: Ups, wahrscheinlich hätte ich dir das nicht erklären müssen, wenn du ja deutsche Heise Artikellinks postest... Ich lasse es jetzt aber für andere Leser stehen.

If external professional support is needed they could just buy it too. One of the bigger Linux companies, SUSE, is even from Germany, and still operates out of Nürnberg (or "Nuremberg" for people who are more familiar with the anglicized name).

Almost correct, I would say.

Abb. 140. Schön geschnitztes und verziertes Segelboot von den Hermitinseln, das für längere Reisen bestimmt ist. Die Muster an den Bootswänden sind braun und weiß gemalt, an den einwärts gebogenen Enden des Kiels an Bug und Heck hängen Federbüschel herab.

Fig. 140. A beautifully carved and decorated sailboat from the Hermit Islands, intended for longer voyages. The patterns on the sides of the boat are painted in brown and white, and plumes of feathers hang down from the inwardly curved ends of the keel at the bow and stern.

 

A certain ex-corpo fish girl is returning to us today. We're at 188k viewers and the intro has been running for four minutes.

I bet she's nervous as hell, hope everything goes well!

 

I really like the sound of it, and the lore implications are kind of fun too. Justice turning darker.
