  • Link in the OP is fake, please update to correct site.

    Screenshot is from comick.io (the official site).

    Transcript of screenshot

    Comick is temporarily in maintenance mode.

    Comick has only official domain: Comick.io. All other sites are fake. Do not log in to them.

    Always check the domain before reading manga on any site. Comick will always have only one official domain.

    After several days of thinking, I’ve decided to convert Comick into a legal tracking site. Here’s why:

    • The most important thing is that many users encouraged me.
    • I truly want to keep building Comick — there are still a lot of features I want to ship. I’m only removing the reader. I considered this before but avoided it to not compete with other tracking sites, but now this is the only way to keep Comick alive for me.
    • I don’t want you to lose Comick.
    • Our community is big now — I believe we can make this work.
    • also, we can protect Comick’s brand from fake sites - they’ll end up destroying Comick’s image.

    What will change when Comick becomes a tracking site:

    • You won’t be able to read on Comick, but your Following list will still show new updates.
    • I’ll start working on forums.
    • I’ll ask a friend to help us build apps for the App Store and Google Play.
    • We won’t need to stress as much about funding because publishers can’t report us, so I’ll have more time to build features.


  • “We show that by exploiting the physics of specular reflection, an adversary can inject phantom obstacles or erase real ones using only inexpensive mirrors,” the researchers wrote in a paper submitted to the journal Computers & Security.

    “Experiments on a full AV platform, with commercial-grade LIDAR and the Autoware stack, demonstrate that these are practical threats capable of triggering critical safety failures, such as abrupt emergency braking and failure to yield.”

    I’d be fooled, too, at first - and suspicious (who’s fucking around with mirrors on the road?) - but I’d probably figure it out after a second.

    My main concern is people could use these kinds of exploits to “jailbreak” robo-cars (or whatever we’re calling them) to behave in dangerous ways in real traffic.


  • It will not. The article is nostalgia and hopium-baiting.

    Restarting a mass-manufacturing production line for something like once super-common CRT TVs would require a major investment that so far nobody is willing to front.

    Meanwhile LCD and OLED technology have hit some serious technological dead-ends, while potential non-organic LED alternatives such as microLED have trouble scaling down to practical pixel densities and yields.

    There’s a chance that Sony and others can open some drawers with old ‘thin CRT’ plans, dust off some prototypes and work through the remaining R&D issues with SED and FED for potentially a pittance of what alternative, brand-new technologies like MicroLED or quantum dot displays would cost.

    Will it happen? Maybe not. It’s quite possible that we’ll still be trying to fix OLED and LCDs for the next decade and beyond, while waxing nostalgically about how much more beautiful the past was, and the future could have been, if only we hadn’t bothered with those goshdarn twisting liquid crystals.
