  • Two very rare Covid vaccine side-effects detected in global study of 99 million

    Jump

  • My manager at a previous employer died of covid while I worked there. This was long after the initial hectic period.

    I personally interacted with hundreds of people who would end up passing away from covid-related complications.

    Obviously working in healthcare exposes you to this sort of thing more. Outside of that, I had two direct relatives who nearly died (and likely would have if they had caught it when DME companies had run out of oxygen concentrators to rent out in 2020)

  • Apple's Vision Pro lacks any real vision

    Jump

  • My gut feeling is that that is apples entire game plan with the Vision Pro- seed an expensive version of the tech, then refine it with what they learned into something leaner and significantly cheaper.

    I could be wrong, but given the current price point that’s my guess.

  • Apple won't license Masimo's patents despite Apple Watch import ban | AppleInsider

    Jump

  • I wouldn’t really bucket masimo into the little guy” team- from my time in healthcare, they are really not an ethical company due to their aggressively high pricing on simple products only they produce, stifling competition through artificial lockouts and patent trolling.

  • Apollo dev released a youtube app for Vision Pro

    Jump

  • The ads/subscription here were pre-existing and, depending on who you ask, are fairly good and necessary to make YouTube not a total loss- I can’t claim to know everything Christian believes but I imagine he’s fine with paying reasonable amounts for subscriptions of live services that he actually uses, or paying for the tools to make things.

    Also building adblocking into something like this would be a moving target and akin to poking a sleeping bear, which I can understand wanting to avoid.

  • How Lemmy's Communist Devs Saved It

    Jump

  • A gun would help stop those witches from flying in the sky.

    I may be taking this analogy the wrong way.

  • Six months after the initial reddit surge (graphs)

    Jump

  • I used Apollo and Relay extensively and not having those makes it so hard to even try for me.

  • Cities with soda taxes saw sales of sugary drinks fall as prices rose, study finds

    Jump

  • And it has an unfortunate name, to boot.

  • PSA: The Docker Snap package on Ubuntu sucks.

    Jump

  • A flatpak of the snap, running in a docker container inside a vm for maximum security.

  • 13 Feet Ladder

    Jump

  • Checking ip ownership is a moving target more likely to result in outcomes these sites don’t want (accidentally blocking google bots and preventing results from appearing on google).

    Checking useragent is cheap, easier, unlikely to break (for this purpose, anyway) and the percentage of folks who know how to bypass this check is relatively slim, with a pretty small financial impact.

  • U.S. government spent more on health care in 2022 than six countries with universal health care combined

    Jump

  • Year over year my insurance at huge companies would get both worse and costlier. It was to the point that the insurance that was costing me $200/mo was literally just acting as a safeguard against something costing me $10,000- which would have financially ruined anybody at those jobs anyway

  • Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is"

    Jump

  • Imo launch day nms is more varied (in generated content, at least) with less loading screens (so you get to do the fun action of atmospheric flight -> space flight yourself) - starfield is better in other ways but the end result is I find nms more fun (even on the day 1 version)

  • Reddit now blocks signed out VPN connections.

    Jump

  • ok

  • Reddit now blocks signed out VPN connections.

    Jump

  • Most sites will do live inspection of browser capabilities rather than using the user agent to grok capabilities, simply because user agent is hardly reliable.

  • Beeper Mini

    Jump

  • Looks like beeper got their stuff working again.

    Can’t imagine this working out very well long term though

  • Play RuneLite as "Old School RuneScape" on Steam Deck

    Jump

  • They’re trying to make steam think they’re actually running osrs so it tracks their playtime. Steam doesn’t track playtime of nonsteam games.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • It’s feasible and has been used in various 0day exploits in the last few years. It’s getting significantly rarer nowadays but media player exploits leading to RCE has been a staple of malware distribution for a long while.

    It’s just much easier to make a malicious word macro and hope the user isn’t careful than to research/identify an exploitable bug in a media player.

  • How to crack a (non App Store) MacOS app?

    Jump

  • Generally you can’t reverse it into exactly what was written, but most of the time you can disassemble or decompile just about any program as long as the binary format is known. The legibility of the resulting unraveling may vary depending on language and any methods used to obfuscate the end binary.

  • iLeakage attack steals emails, passwords from Apple Safari

    Jump

  • Their point was that, on macOS, other browsers don’t use the safari engine under the hood like they do on iOS. That commonality is why the article states the exploit works in those browsers on iOS.

  • [HN] Valve Says Counter-Strike 2 for macOS Not Happening, There Aren't Enough Players

    Jump

  • Supporting macOS with any sort of complex codebase is trickier than it sounds, due to the necessity to use Metal, the notarization requirements, and various quirks in cross-compile toolchains.
