I was just wondering if a no-op AV might work! But I thought perhaps not, as I thought Microsoft insisted on AVs running as PP/PPL (Protected Process / Protected Process Light), which isn't realistic for OSS. Are you able to

Had a similar problem with a Samsung washing machine here in the UK, one of the more expensive models too. After just a few months, it developed problems. I had to spend hours on the phone to their support people, who would tell me to reset

Different people are interested in different things; personally, I'm mostly here for the sci-tech, but I also find other things interesting, and here on HN I often see unique takes, approaches and opinion for such topics. I'm gl

Thanks; I did actually read the article, but missed this section (and likely some others) as the page doesn't work well on mobile.

Exactly the kind of thing I was looking for! Although, I guess for a bug hidden within an electrical device (like that in the article), this approach wouldn't work? I wonder how well these work against shielding? Might it be possible t

Is there some kind of device that can detect bugs like this? (I'm thinking of the "bug sweepers" I've seen in films)

You only see them during summer... which usually lasts around 8 days ;)

No, see Gerdesj's sibling comment, it's the perfect description! (midges are smaller, but you get clouds of them!)

Scot here, can confirm these tiny, winged devils have always been around to some extent. Still, I prefer them to midges :-/

Things got a lot better for ClamAV after the Cisco purchase, but detection rates remain attrocious. There are some commercial signatures available, which would certainly help, but it still doesn't come close to the detection rates of c

Virus scanning user uploaded files always seemed like a very sensible thing to me. I've used ClamAV before in web apps, and it was fairly easy to get working - but it has a few big flaws: it's very slow, it uses a huge amount of m

Wow. It almost looks alien - insanely cool, and thanks for the push, it's quite an interesting article.

And let's not forget that the US recently stationed troops on a tiny Taiwanese island that's less than ten miles from the Chinese mainland. And at a time when the US is sabre-rattling over Taiwan, and is about to give Taiwan bil

Ah, so realistically it's only likely to be a good UX when combined with a paid download service. I think I know which one you're referring to (at least, I only know of one such service, which I learned about from Reddit). I have

by GordonS 2y ago
How is the UX with Stremio? Would it pass the "wife test"? Like, does it buffer and cut out constantly, or require fiddling with settings all the time, or does it Just Work(TM)?

Ah, that would do it!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is it about GrapheneOS that makes it better on Pixel devices?

Surely the basis for the processing matters? If you're storing IP addresses in your access logs, you're presumably doing this for security reasons? And presumably you periodically purge old data? If so, that's a legitimate in

And even more ironic given it was the story that made season 2 such a disappointing bore-fest - the animation was superb!

AFAIK all the well-known proxies/load balancer support automatic failure in one way or another - Caddy, Nginx, Traefik, HAProxy. I prefer Caddy myself, for it's simplicity. On load balancing, it can detect when an upstream server

No, this is why govs (and gov-controlled media) tell us we need more censorship.

Wow, that's actually pretty cool!

What liquids are gold soluble in, and how much gold could you dissolve per litre?

This makes "OK" rice, and I always use this technique for long grain rice. But for "better" kinds of rice, like basmati or jasmine, I always use the absorption method - the rice is so, so much better! The delicate flavou

It likely depends on the colour of your skin, and what kind of day the officers have had so far - but given US police history, I can't imagine it's long before they shoot someone in the back while claiming they were "interfer

This almost feels like how cloud providers charge excessive fees for excess bandwidth. Storage is cheap, even with replication, especially at Neon scale.

I don't know that we can generalise this though - some people mask their autism very well, sometimes without even knowing that's what they're doing.

I might be misremembering, but IIRC RavenDB does this (it's a commercial document DB, written in C#).

Another one is kist, which apparently means "chest" in Norwegian too.
