Christ on a skateboard!? All the temporarily displaced billionaires in this thread are something else.

If you require more than 100M in net worth to be "motivated" to work. There's a larger problem with you. Being a CEO/leader doesn't require some skill set that's given to you from some mythical watery being just because you're special.

I guess I can drop my test way down here, too!

HAHAH, Fun little thing I did with this fabulous game was... I'm running a userscript. The game isn't VISIBLE. How far can you get, only with SOUND? cough I gave up pretty quick. But kinda an intriguing thought experiment!

One of my favorite things to do with these neat little games is to build something that plays them for me by just pasting stuff into the browser JS console.

At a score of 1,619 the ball is moving so fast it no longer works! I switched to a new tab (hoping that the event loop would be sent to the background/context switch/whatever) and ta-da - it misclicked. High score of 1,637.

MakeMKV (US$60 for Windows, Mac, or Linux) can rip UHD Blu-Ray discs with the appropriate drive, removing the encryption in the process:

Some drives need to have their firmware flashed in order to enable ripping of UHD discs:

I'm not affiliated with the product other than having used it to rip my entire disc library. It can also rip DVDs and regular blu-rays.

Once ripped, they can be played back with VLC, mpv, or derivatives. (On Macs, IINA is very good.)

*clap* thanks for the pointer on IINA. I'm a long-time user of MPV (that's prob what I'll stick with on Windows…) it's good to have all these super useful interface improvements~

I'm already trying to edit PNGs but in Firefox no file system access API yet, so I tried uploading an image to edit in Luna Paint but it only loads an empty image?

shelbyKiraM commented on Apple Regrets Confusion over 'iPhone Scanning'   bbc.com/news/technology-5... · Posted by u/belter

So they just repeated that they're doing almost exactly what they told people they were doing? Yes, people took it to mean that they were scanning library photos ON the device, that's where the "confusion" was. However, they're still making it so parents can make it so their kids can't look at porn in iMessage and scanning pics uploaded to iCloud? Just the iCloud scanning probably doesn't happen on your device. And the iMessage scanning obviously does. Still sounds like a personal device having the capability of calling the cops on you. Am I wrong?

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. That's literally the Oxford dictionary definition.
