  • The Ljungavik Dog: A Mesolithic dog burial

    Jump

  • LiveScience.org mentions the same question back in 2020

    Of note, it's unclear whether the dog died a natural death, or whether it was killed to be buried with its human. An analysis of its remains may reveal this mystery.

    I couldn't find an answer though. Most online sources of the discovery are from back in 2020, then it's just memes.

  • Sega files patent infringement lawsuit against Memento Mori developer over in-game mechanics, seeking 1 billion yen in damages

    Jump

  • Sega alleges infringements of the following five patents: No. 5930111, No. 6402953, No. 6891987, No. 7297361 and No. 7411307, all of which are registered in Japan.

    I tried checking out that first patent there, 5930111 and who boy... is this shit hard to read

    An information processing device includes: a control means for causing the player to acquire a content in response to a game execution instruction from the player; an extraction means for extracting content groups of the same type from contents possessed by the player, according to an instruction from the player; a selection means for automatically selecting fusion source contents and resource contents from each of the extracted content groups; and a fusion means for collectively fusing, for each of the fusion source contents, one of the resource contents of the same type as the each of the fusion source contents. The selection means selects, as the resource contents, contents having a rarity at or below a specific level, from each of the extracted content groups.

  • Mozilla explains their recent foray into advertising - A free and open internet shouldn’t come at the expense of privacy

    Jump

  • A fundamental flaw in this, is it still involves user data, even if "anonymized". You can advertise without any user data. We do it all the time. Does a television channel know your gender? Does a radio station know if you bought a car recently? Does the newspaper know your hobbies?

  • Introducing Proof-of-Work Defense for Onion Services | The Tor Project

    Jump

  • At least it appears to be something that gets triggered. In theory, if a node is not under attack or heavy usage, this isn't a consideration. Doesn't seem to be a perfect solution as it still slows the traffic of legitimate users in the event of an attack. I don't know the full details, but in the worse case it makes it easier to semi-DoS, maybe not by fully making a node unresponsive, but by making the service so painfully slow that users may give up on it.

  • Is it possible to suspend games on PC like the Steam Deck?

    Jump

  • I just tried it on Nobara. Just... application launcher (The start menu icon)->sleep. Waited, and then woke the machine back up and when the machine came back up, the game was still running. No idea if all games will play nice with that, but Satisfactory did.

  • 4 wounded at Brooklyn train station when officers shoot man wielding knife

    Jump

  • Surely I misread the title. The wounded were all stabbed, surely. Nope... Cops open fired hit the suspect, 2 randos (one of which was hit in the head), and a friggin cop. All started by suspect not paying the fare. Cops made the whole situation infinitely worse than had they not showed up.

  • win9x be like:

    Jump

  • There are several reserved names in Windows. This is for backwards compatibility with mostly DOS programs. On your desktop, try and create a folder named "con", and Windows should flat-out refuse. (Same thing for "prn", "aux" and "nul")

  • What's wrong with my cucumbers?

    Jump

  • Not an expert, but I think it's Angular Leaf Spot. It seems to match at least, damage is not passing veins, looks like the underside of the leaves have white stuff on them. It does not look like there is a cure if so though, at least, not one I have found searching the internet.

  • Linux Mint help

    Jump

  • Adding even more grammar, you could use "Had no", for lack of possession, like

    It had no tooling for the fs?

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Definitely this. The data is not likely gone, but before doing anything that could make things worse, try and get a full copy of the SD card somewhere. From there you may safely try repairing the partition or data carving tools.

  • Windows Recall demands an extraordinary level of trust that Microsoft hasn’t earned

    Jump

  • Accounting details, sensitive credentials for sys admin use, HIPAA data, PII etc. there's just so much crap understood to be temporarily unlocked, viewed, and then immediately deleted or locked again. Even home users shouldn't turn this thing on, check your bank? Balance and account details now always available. Use a password manager? Whatever you looked at is likely captured.

  • Any accurate gardening games?

    Jump

  • Probably not quite what you are thinking of, but Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is supposed to be pretty accurate... for rice farming specifically.

  • lemmy.sdf.org certificate expired

    Jump

  • Seems right to me. I thought maybe it was fixed in the time since the comment but the cert looks like it was issued at the start of the month.

  • What is the oldest common food in the typical western diet?

    Jump

  • I'd imagine a berry of some sort. There could be a berry we still eat that pre-humans also ate. Wouldn't surprise me.

  • Best way to remotely access pc on same LAN

    Jump

  • Ah crap, yeah, I forgot about that, you're right.

  • Best way to remotely access pc on same LAN

    Jump

  • Keep in mind both options require enabling remote control from Windows settings. It's off by default if I recall right.

  • Best way to remotely access pc on same LAN

    Jump

  • If you have another windows pc, you can use the built-in remote desktop. Or, from Linux you can install a Microsoft rdp compatible client like remmina. (Edit: If using Windows Pro on the target machine, for either of these options)

  • For security reasons

    Jump

  • Had something similar happen with indiegala. Had an account with them for years, then one day, could not purchase some games randomly. Hit up their support and got the answer "Oh, the purchase was denied because your account's email address is detected as a temporary email address".... The email address I've been using on that account... for years.... Is temporary.
