Could you please use the cross-post feature instead of making a separate post in each community? That way our front-ends can consolidate multiple cross-posts into one post instead of it being listed multiple times.
Honestly, doing it your way looks like spam. This is what I see in my feed:
Maybe you didn’t see the link, but the PDF of the original paper is linked by the page in the post: https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/639.pdf
The paper that you found is also interesting and references the 2022 paper.
Reading the article, I don’t think they’re trying to imply what is suggested by the headline, ie. that the real-name registration system is being abused somehow to scam people.
Rather it’s an article pointing out that the real-name registration system did not help to combat the already rising number of scams, which was the reason that the government gave for passing the law.
It doesn’t seem to be phone-specific either:
Hong Kong has seen a sharp increase in overall scam-related crime figures in recent years. Between 2020 and 2024, the number of scams reported to police almost tripled.
It’s a useful data point to argue against any similar initiatives in other countries, where they may use the same reasoning to justify the law. It doesn’t seem to make a difference, as criminals will always find a way regardless of the hoops that you make law-abiding citizens jump through.
Utility is born of necessity, and it’s true that every joke needs a punchline.
No problem, let me just say that I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve watched a lot of videos of other people trying it and the worst results that I’ve seen have been the ones using a gel that they paint onto the plastic and then cover in plastic wrap. This tends to leave a streaky effect because the substance is not equally thick in every area and so it has more whitening effect where it’s thicker.
The best results that I’ve seen have been the ones that have completely submerged the plastic in a liquid peroxide solution, or have suspended the plastic above the solution to immerse it in the vapors that evaporate off from the peroxide (pure oxygen). These methods give completely uniform coverage so they whiten the plastic equally in every place.
It seems that you also need strong UV, and people that live nearer the equator have better success using the sun. But in the absence of good UV lighting, heat also seems to have some effect.
Good luck!
But god forbid you unplug a controller while the console is switched on. Better know how to replace that fuse on the controller board!
(If you just bridge it with a wire, I won’t tell anyone).
Let me be the one to introduce you to the rabbit hole that is retr0bright. There are numerous videos on youtube of various different methods of retro-brighting.
The most scientifically thorough treatment of the phenomenon that I’ve seen is this paper: https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/The-Retrobright-Mystery.pdf
Thank you both for telling me the answers to your security questions.
I generally do not trust manfucturer preinstalled OS.
Especially pertinent for Lenovo.
You get incremental backups (snapshots) by using
--link-dest=DIR hardlink to files in DIR when unchanged
To use this you pass in the previous snapshot location as DIR and use a new destination directory for the current snapshot. This creates hard links in the new snapshot to the files which were unchanged from the previous snapshot, so only the new files are transferred, and there is no duplication of data on disk (for whole-file matches).
This does of course require that all of the snapshots exist in the same filesystem, since you cannot hard-link across filesystems.
I checked your Mastodon timeline but I don’t see the post, only the one where you relate the story.
Yes the volunteer software authors should work to the beat of the drum of the baying and braying users who insist on using cutting edge software before its wider ecosystem has adapted to its novelties. A very good point.
It really is a shame that they force you to update to the new version. If only there was some way to continue using the existing Gnome version until the extensions have been updated by their authors.

We’ll relaunch crowdfunding with a functional prototype. We’re also in talks with investors who respect our values.
I haven’t seen this youtuber’s videos before. Do they normally drop 40 minutes of spoilers for a game that came out just 6 months ago? I thought this was going to be a review and it turned into a walkthrough less than 10 minutes in.
There are multiplayer games from 30 years ago that still have 30 people who play on the first Friday night of each month, and they will put that in their calendar and keep the game alive.
The idea that multiplayer games need huge communities of players otherwise they are “dead” is what is killing multiplayer games.
Did you know that Jensen Huang and Lisa Su are cousins? AMD only makes graphics cards to protect NVIDIA from antitrust lawsuits.
