I'm in the same boat as you. I do these long trips, and also have multiple laptops and lots of camera equipment. I use a backpack for my carry-on, because that is less likely to be checked/gate checked, but even that is a problem

Good grief, deciding who to communicate with is considered too hard for the common user. Better let algorithms decide it for you!

We only had dial-up, but I "borrowed" an EGPRS phone from work. 177.6 kbps (I think) felt more than you could ever need! Making it work in Slackware Linux was a challenge.

Torrents are only 15 years old?? Wow, I could have sworn they came before that. I feel like I've been doing torrents forever. Windows XP is older than torrents, but in my mind it feels much newer for some reason. I wonder why.

It's good for everyone that DDG usage is increasing, however, the lack of any kinks, sudden slope increases in the graph tells me weren't any particular set of events that caused people to switch. Rather, they got "fed up wit

So what is Azure Sphere? I read their website and I tried really hard to get past the corporate bullshit speak, but in the end I had to give up. It's just meaningless mumbo-jumbo. So what is it, exactly? Something to do with IoT and

If you already have more billions of dollars that you could ever spend on, what difference does an additional billion of dollars make? I suppose not knowing the answer to that questions makes me likely not to become a billionaire...

So the fact that the US did not consider Native Americans citizens made their killing somewhat justifiable? It seems to me you’re making a strong case for GPs point about how perceived US moral superiority influences one's arguments. I

It is not a competition. The US did all those things (and more). It is bad, in many cases worse than China. But China is also bad and in many other cases did much worse than the US. In my non-american opinion, tech companies doing business

My equipment is hidden in walls and hard to reset. However, in this case, the problem was at the physical layer, not software configuration, so a reset would not have accomplished anything. Since I do not use Windows, I had to emulate Winbo

Afaik winbox is the only way to reconfigure the device in case of serious IP misconfiguration, or if layer 3 networking does not work for some reason (I just had to debug a switching loop...), as winbox can connect by MAC, rather than IP.
