   Some cars with OBD 2 still require special connectors and software to fully explore the ECU. For example to properly connect to my Volvo you need a whole setup, to the point where an enterprising individual has made a business out of sellin

   This looks like Boston's MBTA map. I remember finding the NY one fairly intimidating by comparison.

   It's not just shutters. Many aspects of modern home design are an attempt to look somewhat similar to older styles in ways that do not hold up to scrutiny. For example the siding on my house is vinyl but it's meant to look like wo

    Anyone have a tutorial on how to use mastodon as an end user? Are there servers worth joining? Does the fediverse make the server you join irrelevant? Has SDF got an instance? Are there clients people prefer? I'd love an alternative so

    Many of us probably have stories like this from school days - admins overreacting to their lax policies.

    Banks and other service providers are operating with a different equation-in addition to authentication mentioned in other comments, it should be noted that customer support costs money, so the higher the walls they can avoid providing cust

    I've built a couple of demos using this article as a guide to understanding how the net architecture works. It's pretty fun to run through. Making your sim deterministic is a neat challenge.

    I really think this will go down as The Big Mistake that lost the public's trust in the US and made compliance for every subsequent measure difficult to sell, and opened the door to nutters.

    I've spent an inordinate amount of my life chasing that high, not by leaking information but by trying to be the guy who finally remade the game everyone liked.
