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

    Correction: I was wrong. Comick.dev is not fake. The base Comick.io site did briefly link to comick.dev, but the link has since been removed, likely because comick.dev was throwing errors (see screenshot below).

    After looking deeper into it, here’s my understanding:

    • comick.io is and will remain the official website.
    • comick.dev is a temp site the owner set up for building and testing the new tracker version of ComicK. It will likely disappear or be archived once development is complete.
    • If your account is older than 1.5 months (the site owner was forced to remove servers with more recent data), you should be able to log in and retrieve your lists from comick.dev.
    • We’ll probably have to wait a couple of weeks for real news about the future of ComicK.
    Moderator on official subreddit shows shows the .dev site is a work in progress

    Staff on official discord says comick.io and comick.dev are official and safe

    Meotimdihia (Comick site owner) says they had to remove servers, and to wait two weeks.



  • “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.
