They killed Aaron Swartz.

They killed Epstein, whose money they'd "take again".

They invented STEM, OLPC, and LEGO Mindstorms to get closer to kids.

They are more evil than Israel.

I think it was pretty much all through hole back then. Through hole is optimized for ease of doing it by hand. You poke the legs through the holes, and can bend the legs to hold a bunch of them in place so you can place a lot and then flip it and quickly solder all of them. Surface mount is possible to do by hand but kind of a pain in the ass, and is really optimized for machines. Humans could precisely set all the components with their ends in the little beads of pre-tinned or paste solder and then put it in an oven, but it's tedious and too easy to bump already placed components. You can also solder a lot of them with an iron, but that's a pain in the ass and only really done for repairs.

This is a laser printer cartridge toner chip. It has a memory which stores information about the cartridge print usage. If you refill your toner cartridge, your printer will still say empty because of this chip. Using a cheap microcontroller connected to ordinary pins and gently spreading the legs so that contact can be made with the correct pin and only the correct pin, one can read the contents of the memory. Subsequently, one can compare the contents of an empty cartridge memory with a full cartridge memory. One can also print a page, then read the contents of the memory again, and note any differences. What is thought to be printer usage information can then be identified and cleared. Doing this, one can refill their own laser printer toner cartridge and use it.

However, the memory chip is also thought to include a microprocessor or logic such that certain memory areas such as serial number may only be written once, or only be written using a secret, unobvious, command or write sequence. Therefore, it is thought printers are made to remember cartridge serial numbers, and when a serial number for a cartridge is remembered as previously exhausted, even if the cartridge is currently reporting to be full, it will either be immediately set to empty or after only a few prints, or will be rejected as an invalid cartridge.

To use your printer, only use printer manufacturer authorized toner cartridges.

Printer manufacturers are hilariously evil. Were it not for piracy, game devs would have gone the same route long ago. You can't afford to be naive about anything in this world anymore.
>>
>>107802213
Buy a printer with refillable tanks not cartridges.
>>
my money is that a print cartridge's microchip contains a cryptographic lock
to alter the memory on the cartridge, you probably have to know how to ask it for a challenge, it then proceeds to give you a prng bit stream, then you have to sha hash the stream with a key and send it back within a certain amount of time to unlock the chip.
that's how some faulty chickshit "smart" batteries were set up that i had bought and had failed, which resulted in an fatal error bit being set. of course, the key was well known, so i tried to hack the battery to rebuild it before i gave up because i was wasting too much time fucking around with it. printer manufacturers are probably more creative about their keys.

git branch creates the branch
git checkout -b creates the branch and switches to it
git checkout switches to an existing branch

honestly git checkout -b is usually what you want, i never use git branch

>>107802456
By not being a retard. You only need a set of around 10 external software or so.

Flatpaks are not actually safe but they are easy for the retards. Microsoft Defender was created for this type of users by the way.
>>
>>107802609
Forgot to add: flatpaks are also the only way for some distros unless you want to compile a web browser from scratch.
In this sense it's okay but shouldn't be the first choice by default. Was always amazed by the contrast of how Arch is getting touted so much but then again some essential software is only available via flatpaks or aur...
Unix has its own security and if that's not enough it is a failed system in the end.

I think it's more of a situation where it used to be easier to follow the foundational movements, where now days it's all obfuscated behind corporate designed ecosystems.
Or at least I found that was my issue. Been having a damn blast since I went to Arch and finally relive the feeling I had when I used MSDOS.

using r3dfox browser in Windows 7 with no updates to windows itself after year 2013 (thus making it the fastest OS with no handicap) makes the OS graphically impaired especially when using year 2011 Nvidia tech

graphics become corrupted when changing from one window to another

altough it helps to scroll up and down a page, and then corruption disappears when it gets something new to draw to the screen

thats why I use supermium with year 2011 laptop with Windows 7, its the only browser right now which works properly

but you never know when the one man who creates the browser, calls it quits.
