Re: Universal C Decompiler (Open Source)

I've used a few different disassemblers before on windows, mainly Ollydbg and a fork of x64dbg. They're very useful for patching things in and out of closed source software. :mrgreen:

Since becoming a linux nerd I haven't needed to use one, unless gdb counts.

Re: Google thinks they can DRM the internet!

Do you think that will change anything? That kind of DRM can be implemented on every operating system if I am not wrong. I tried to point out that there are several open source browsers, mostly for linux. Even if they all jump on the DRM train (which will never happen), you have the source ... (do ...

Re: Google thinks they can DRM the internet!

Yes but the point is they are drafting a standard for DRM on the internet and because nearly every browser is chromium-based this is a big deal. If this does become standard then it means your every day browsing experience will change for the worse and there won't be much you can do about it. This c...

Google thinks they can DRM the internet!

Check out their proposal here: https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/blob/main/explainer.md If you want to protest this one of the only things you can do(and effectively) i...

Re: How to store a single value into a MySQL database?

Since the question has been answered I figured I would offer some tips for learning MySQL :mrgreen: #1 Download MySQL Workbench. With this software you can play around with local databases and learn without consequence. LINQPad is also a useful tool for SQL. #2 If you're using MySQL for anything rem...

Re: New PB release soon...

Better linux support?!

I hope it fixes the graphics and input issues I had, but that could just be the not-so-popular window manager I'm using. :mrgreen:

Re: Underwater storm

I'm curious to know if they even could save them since the submarine was so deep, how would they tow it out? And what about the extreme pressure changes of going from the bottom of the ocean to the surface?

Re: Will PB be available for ...

How do they cool these down to the temperatures required for their operation? I thought 99% of the reason it's infeasible for anyone to have a quantum computer is due to the cooling requirements and that whole vacuum thing. :mrgreen:

Re: How does a browser know the size of a file?

the web server will reply with a Content-Length header which is the size of the file in bytes. It does this with every file, web page, download, etc.
