Electronics is usually photographed in lightboxes with soft lighting all around, which can be somewhat achieved with LED strips around the front side of the display area; however you’d need to add bezels so that viewers aren’t bothered by the lights. Based on the brown, red and gold features of the objects, I would pick a warm white color but that depends on other lights in the room and it would clash with the blue wall (not that the radios don’t already). If you want a museum-like display rather than atmospheric, I’d go for neutral white and keep that consistent across the room.

Two or three antique-incandescent-imitating LEDs. They didn’t have fluorescent lamps at home back then.

Oh my God? Where? What is this system called, usenet?

Pneumatic pipes with bottle delivery when?

I’m not an expert but probably because it’s Dutch

Probably more. Just search for ‘x’ in a name register and filter the normal ones like Alex.

Yeah, (O)OP is such a rookie they probably call it Homework, which is a well-known trick. The correct stealth strategy is a directory called linux_malware_test_vm_imgs containing archives such as

I know PDF providers who visibly print the customer’s name or number in the header of every page, along with short copyright text. I use qpdf --stream-decompress to make the PDF into human-readable PostScript, and then Python+regex to remove each header text, which stand out a bit from other PDF elements. The script throws an error if more or fewer elements than pages have been removed but that hasn’t happened yet. Processed documents sometimes have screwed-up non-ASCII characters in the Table of Contents for some reason but I don’t have the originas anymore so IDK if it’s my fault. Still, I wouldn’t share the PDFs unless in text-only or printed form because of any other steganographic shenanigans in the file. I would absolutely torrent them if I could repurchase them under a new identity and verify that the files are identical.

BTW, has anyone figured out how to embed Python code in PDF? The whitespace always gets reencoded as x-coordinates so copy&pasting it never preserves indentation. No, you can’t use the Ogham Space Mark (Unicode’s only non-blank character classified as a space) for indentation in Python, I tried.

Yes. Technically, a similar vote could repeal the law just as easily but there is a history of governments not giving their power away easily; implementing it also sets a precedent and creates technical enforcement options for other governments willing to go through with something similar in the future, or for hackers to exploit because gov-rooted devices will remain in operation for years after the potential repeal.

Use Wolfram Alpha, which is a mathematics engine first and text parser second (and it shows: the math is flawless but it wouldn’t understand the query; both need to be asked separately: 1/2). ChatGPT performs similarly this time but I wouldn’t trust it to expand a polynomial because there is very high chance that it would hallucinate some terms.

Of course, any calculator will do for this, it’s easy to verify that 2÷3×14 = 14÷1.5, no need to have a server run a billion times more complex calculation.

One of the most egregious fast fashion vendors. They steal people’s artwork for printed-on-demand shirts and only settle when called out. Whenever any clothes item grows in popularity, they shift their production overnight to cash in on impulse buying. Not to mention the labor violations.

small d**k energy

Lame. I get they might need to censor it but it’s easy to cover with part of another sticker and make it look incidental.

They’ve infiltrated the executive branch!

Yes, that’s the only country besides Belarus (which uses Cyrillic) in a 187-km radius from Minsk. (The road will not be straight of course so the actual area where this sign would work will be smaller.)

Unless the sign is fake, of course. IDK about Lithuania but Arial is not a common road signage font. Also, why English? Lithuanians spell it Kyjivas and Minskas.

Edit: now that you mentioned Vilnius on Google Maps, I looked it up and skimmed for a road that might correspond to the direction and infrastructure. Opened Street View and guess what? I found it, first try. It’s real.

That being said, the actual distance to Kyiv is now over 1000 km for most people as they won’t be able to cross the Belarus / Ukraine border.
