I wanna read comics on kindle so I download them in bulk in .cbz and .cbr format to transfer via calibre.
Problem is calibre will not transfer them if they have anything in the file besides images.
Many comics have .nfo and thumbs.db files put inside them by r-slurs that uploaded them, to unscrew it I need to open the .cbz/r file with winrar and manually delete the offending files.
Is there a way to do this besides opening them up one by one? Cbz/r files don't let me bulk unpack them so I cannot search them all at once and there's hundreds of them.

Rivian blames “fat finger” for infotainment-bricking software update
Some affected Rivian EVs may require physical servicing to fix the problem.
The more innovation-minded people in the auto industry have heralded the advent of the software-defined car. It's been spun as a big benefit for consumers, too—witness the excitement among Tesla owners when that company adds a new video game or childish noise to see why the rest of the industry joined the hype train. But sometimes there are downsides, as some Rivian owners are finding out this week.
The EV startup, which makes well-regarded pickup trucks and SUVs, as well as delivery vans for Amazon, pushed out a new over-the-air software update on Monday. But all is not well with 2023.42; the update stalls before it completes installing, taking out both infotainment and main instrument display screens.
Rivian VP of software engineering Wassym Bensaid explained the problem in a post on Rivian's subreddit:
Hi All,
We made an error with the 2023.42 OTA update - a fat finger where the wrong build with the wrong security certificates was sent out. We cancelled the campaign and we will restart it with the proper software that went through the different campaigns of beta testing.
Service will be contacting impacted customers and will go through the resolution options. That may require physical repair in some cases.
This is on us - we messed up. Thanks for your support and your patience as we go through this.
Update 1 (11/13, 10:45 PM PT): The issue impacts the infotainment system. In most cases, the rest of the vehicle systems are still operational. A vehicle reset or sleep cycle will not solve the issue. We are validating the best options to address the issue for the impacted vehicles. Our customer support team is prioritizing support for our customers related to this issue. Thank you.
Rivian is still working on a fix. And perhaps regretting this gif on its website:

Can't access frick all from behind tor or a VPN anymore without getting 20+ "checking your connection is secure" (And frick off with that, you're literally just doing anti-spam checks against my browser, the connect doesn't come into play at all.)
And of course being a "sEcUirTy ProDucT" no errors or useful information of any sort is presented to me the user, lest I you know solve the fricking problem
For the last weeks you could work around this with an autoclicker and just spam the frick outta the spot where the captcha would appear until 1 made it thru. Now you seem to have to wait for the page to have loaded for a minute or more before even moving your mouse or you get rejected without even seeing a captcha.
At this point I just never close my browser because I know it's going to take upwards of an hour to log back into my various accounts and even if I do half the users of CF are massive r-slurs who do shit like put their API end point behind it so all their javashit calls fail and there's no way for me the user to ever fix this because cf will never accept a request made from javascript as being "legitment" (which is why you aren't goddarn meant to put your godarn API behind it)
And don't get me started on the tards who use a million different "cdn" subdomains each with their own cloudflare checks. "Oh you passed the challenge for x.com? Well now you need to do the same for imgs1.x.com, img2.x.com, imgs3.x.com ect before the site becomes usable
cloudflare has ruined the internet and I was right to publish all those bypasses on github back in the day

more stupid cryptocel shit that nobody actually cares about. apparently the "contract" that issues MOON is now (or will eventually be) unusable even by reddit (its issuer). this causes a run on the token (pathetic because its STILL under a dollar and STILL useless).
i genuinely dont understand why anyone other than thirdworlders would ever give an actual frick about this, but a lot of people are still mad and some are speculatively hopeful for some reason???

It's True. Your Devices Are Listening to You.
With Active Listening, CMG can now use voice data to target your advertising to the EXACT people you are looking for.
Imagine This...
What could it do for your business, if you were able to target potential clients or customers who are using terms like this in their day to day conversations:
- The car lease ends in a month- we need a plan.
- We need to get serious about planning for retirement.
- A mini van would be perfect for us.
- This AC is on it's last leg!
- Do I see mold on the ceiling?
- We need a better mortgage rate.
Active Listening can make that happen for you!
We know this sounds like something from the future, but we are there! We can customize your campaign to listen for any keywords/targets relevant to your business. Here is how we do it:
- Create Personas
We create buyer personas by uploading past client data into the platform.
- Identify Keywords
We identify top performing keywords relative to the type of customer you are looking for.
- Tracking
We set up tracking via pixel placed on your site, so we can track your ROI in real time.
Listening
Active Listening begins and is analyzed via AI to detect pertinent conversations via smartphones, smart tvs and other devices.
Analysis
As qualified consumers are detected, a 360 analysis via AI on past behaviors of each potential customer occurs.
Create a List
With the audience information gathered, an encrypted evergreen audience list is created.
Re-targeting
We use the list to target your advertising via many different platforms and tactics including:
- Streaming TV/OTT
- Streaming Audio
- Display Ads
- Paid Social Media
- YouTube
- Mobile Precise
- Google/Bing Search (PPC)
We know what you are thinking...
Is this legal? YES- it is totally legal for phones and devices to listen to you. That's because consumers usually give consent when accepting terms and conditions of software updates or app downloads.

Beg Bounties

Orange site discussion:

In the last decade there has been a rise in bug bounty programs where people report bugs they find for money. Along with that though, comes beg bounties, usually 'bug' reports sent by third worlders (mostly from india) who report bugs, like minor misconfigurations in DMARC or a missing CSP which have no impact on sercurity, or just something as low effort as saying they can view the source code of your website...
A typical beg bounty email will look something like this
https://x.com/troyhunt/status/1456944042353172487
And all these low effort bug reports to website owners demanding money end up drowning out any which might be legitimate.

tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
