Doesn't require a mobile number to sign up, that's new. Privacy policy is predictably gritty though.

It's a TRS-80 Model 4P, rather than 4 lines of horizontal resolution. Fourth version, and P means portable (in the loosest sense of the term). The actual video would be 16 characters high by 64 characters wide.

The submission title is actually "txet lanoitcerid-iB", with a Right To Left Override control character at the front. The whole line is in reverse it just doesn't look like it when rendered in your browser. There's a var

I picked up a random piece of hardware I knew probably ran linux under the hood, and found that hacking it really threw me in the deep end. Working with stuff that's not documented, has probably never been tried and looks utterly impos

I have noticed this. You get words for a while, once you get a good enough score you go to house numbers, if you fail a house number you go back to the words. Playing with the demo of it if you fail the checkbox (letting it time out is one

You're meant to be running these in server rack cases that already have fans in the front. Most server CPU heatsink designs take this sort of form as well[1], as there's no point in putting a tiny fan on top of the heatsink when y

For things I care about the domains are owned by me, for things I consider spammy I have a round robin of afraid.org aliases which are for all intents and purposes disposable. They are very effective for this sort of thing, but you would be

I've been doing it for years without problem, it's a lot easier than you'd first think. Markov chain makes the leader of the email address, domain is selected from a random pool.

Yes, that quote is incorrect. An FPGA is the epitome of reprogrammable computing devices, they don't have memory within themselves and must load a bitstream from an external memory device on every power cycle.

You misparsed that line, it's talking about the time to complete a single hash rather than the amount of relative time to find a collision. SHA256 has 128 bits of security to SHA1's heavily wounded <80 bits, there's a sign

You'll find that many people are very reluctant to give up that sort of information about themselves though, whether it be for privacy or because they don't like being incessantly spammed. I understand it existing as an option, ma

Why do all of these services insist on you giving them your mobile number? Even Telegram, which claims to be the all giving god of encryption and privacy, insists on having it no matter what. It's a massive barrier to entry which I&#x2

I was quoting from the privacy policy, not the Android permissions interface. These are all things they collect for certain unless you opt out.

by 13 12y ago
That privacy policy is brutal, and it's just for their analytics and enabled unless you opt out in the settings. The application runs just fine without all of this data being sent to them. You're giving them your bookmarks, call h

The SSH one is probably easiest to detect. When you first connect to a session the public key fingerprint of the server is saved in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. If you can verify this out of band somehow actually is the correct f

Why do you trust any VPN provider? You're paying to push all of your information through a dubious looking service and just hoping that they don't tamper with your pipe. I trust my ISP (who actively poison my DNS lookups) more tha

If you think about it from a purely practical standpoint, it would make sense for all countries to block the any CDN that isn't on their soil. Local companies make more money hosting websites, less traffic on the pipes coming into the

Why are four satellites needed for positioning, wouldn't three do the trick?

by 13 12y ago
That doesn't mean that it's actually Chinese users doing anything though. China has a lot of software piracy in their culture, where piracy is, malware and botnets are rife.

It's very common with older gear. I've bought some things in the past that came with a hand bound booklet with photocopies of the hand drawn circuit diagrams. It's still standard with obscure test equipment, but probably not

I couldn't find any when I looked recently, even the one you've linked to is quite old (2009) and has the same 4GB (presumably 32bit) limit. If they were more common and in more realistic sizes I'd love to get my hands on one

I do wish the iRam had stuck around longer. The 4GB limit makes it practically useless today, but a modern version of the same would be incredibly useful for some workloads.
