Are you trying to use kiosk mode in a way that was never intended? Kiosks being public use terminals like in retail or used for search only terminals at public places?
This sounds like an XY problem to me intuitively since your use case wouldn't naturally match a kiosk situation.
The active, in active noise cancelling means listening by using microphones then playing the exact inverse of the heard sound to cancel the noise, actively. Opposed to passive, which tries to restrict noise like ear protection by enclosing an ear and adding insulation against noise from getting in.
So no, not white noise, though that'll sometimes be generated too. You'll realise quickly most active noise cancelling headphones only listen on the microphones on specific frequencies which is why different settings can allow sound through.
Quoting of course from the great Dragoon Fenix.
100% it's crazy. I mined 1 btc in 2008(?) on a 9800gx2 over a bit longer than winter in Australia, and I've left it in a wallet and watching it flap up and down in value. This announcement was basically "crypto is up so we have enough again". I mean selling what they must have will crash the market again surely. Or the repayment is over 36 months as they slow sell, but then they risk the value again going down.
Don't do crypto kids, it's a game for traders with an appeal to people who want to self host, self sufficient, disconnected from big banks, and all that, but it was corrupted by financially motivated assholes. Therefore it became an investment/wealth vehicle and received the attention of the most morally bankrupt, manipulative people.
Trust is what any currency that has no intrinsic valueis built on. Crypto can't have that when the fraction of good to bad actors is skewed so heavily.
They took imaging scans, I just took a picture of a 1MB memory chip and omg my picture is 4GB in RAW. That RAM the chip was on could take dozens of GB!
I don't know man, I'd prefer light rail than a banananana bus, you know Brisbane style 3 segment bus...
An I too late to roast this lamb?
Yep though I'm a sysadmin and can feel for that, these consolidated platforms are being used as a straight "you trust this, when I infect you, I'll use payloads I'll temporarily host in github because you adjust already block overseas by default expect a bunch of whitelist trusted domains.".
It's technically easy to allow a subdomain, but it's really hard to unblock just a path.
So yeah, what generally happens is the SOC team complains that the new threat is here, and either vendors (had this with fortinet) move the risk rating of github from a 3.5 to a 6 out of 10, I had put the threshold at a default 5, and now it's being blocked. I wonder why it wasn't blocked before, well it wasn't as risky last week as it is now.
Anyway just thought I'd share the IT sysadmin POV.
More to point, using security as an example, we use SentinelOne and azure sentinel. I've had a 'I want to compare crowdstrike and huntress labs' because I've seen really good things with those xdr seim tools. But I got shot down. Why? We can't deviate our standards. Well, how will we know if the competition is better? Is our choice good? Who knows.
I still don't know. I sleep easy knowing it's not my burden though. It's their fault if they get compromised on an attack that the other vendor would stop.
Penny drop moment of "oh right we have to look at the competing engines to see our own weakness"? Frankly it should be obvious.
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."
For me it raises really a odd question about their culture too, since only after inshin's remaster did they add a policy to review developer tools and technology, in a development company.
I'm trying to not read into it any more than that but I can't help but imagine there were board meetings beforehand going 'guys our team want to try using unreal' and some exec going 'no it's banned we only use our own propriety code or else we'll lose our brand and be washed out! All other engines are banned!'.
To me, not a player, it seems like there's a long winded explanation/justification for why they uploaded a illegitimately approved run. In Super Mario maker, if you make a level you need to beat it to upload it. They beat it with a tool instead of skill, to ensure the sequence of frame perfect tricks could be completed, something nearly impossible to do by real players.
There were many top level players all at once playing that level non stop. So I feel for them. Training their muscle memory to execute robot timings for what came out to be not a legit level.
Most of what was said was irrelevant, they managed a life story in the middle of an apology.
You said that more politely than I would have. Good work.
