Ah yes. The question I should have asked is: Is it more secure than not using it, and in what way? Like for example, the Linux kernel isn't signed, right?

Is Secure Boot on Linux actually secure? I remember reading it was like a signed loader and that's it. But I presume that's incorrect?

Carrier grade NAT does not give the user choice of what they want to do with their network. If you want to employ NAT on your network, that should be your choice, not your ISP's.

Don't do stupid things then. If you want to interact with anyone making jailbreaks, don't do it. If you think you're going to develop a jailbreak, don't join the program. They have better lawyers than you can afford. And

Find out what your ASN is (e.g. https://www.ultratools.com/tools/asnInfo ) and then look it up on peering dB: https://www.peeringdb.com/ It'll give you an idea if your ISP is advertising IPv6 rout

Your broadband argument does not work in 2020. The technology exists for symmetric. NAT is not security. Here's an article from F5: https://www.f5.com/services/resources/white-papers/the-myth-... And why

They said they're going to be doing something for retail consumers soon. Their standard desktop CPUs are flying off the shelves. I imagine there's only so much capacity for chip building.

340ms average latency to 1.1.1.1 and 47% packet loss. Many sites are down. But I guess that's the problem with CDNs.

Because they want to know what to continue developing or what to deprecate. The reasoning is simple.

Well I guess at the minimum. China blocks American services in their country like Facebook and Twitter. For a foreign company to operate in China it needs to be majority Chinese owned. It can be argued that if foreign companies are not allo

Maybe you don't know what it is. But it's a utility to edit the sudoers file with validation that prevents you from saving a broken file. If the file is broken, you cannot use sudo. visudo on the latest Ubuntu defaults to nano.

So I don't know much about kernel development. How many other languages apart from C are there in the kernel?

You missed their point. Apple only allows the Safari browser engine to run on their phone. So Google (and other web developers) can't do what they do on other platforms which is only test their website on Chrome or block users of other

The ribbon interface was adopted in 2007. That's 13 years ago. What is the jank? It's a tabbed interface of buttons instead of menus and sub menus. The most common operations are descriptive buttons. Give someone word 2003 or word

I haven't used Libreoffice in years. Did they ever update the UI styling? I remember it had a very "java" look to it. You know that feeling when you open an app, you know it's going to be a bit janky.

Bandwidth is a concern I assume. What percentage of the data transferred is a font or JavaScript library? If it's like 30% (I don't know, just guessing) then that's a portion of bandwidth that could have been used to serve us

I'm so shocked at the positivity about Teams. At my company we use it and there's a timeline to shut down Skype for Business in favour of it. The app is incredibly slow, doesn't have tabs so if you're in a chat, then you

I think you didn't understand what I was stating. I stated that what is rational is subjective of the context of the culture. You don't have a right to a job, it's not oppression if people do things you don't like that d

If many others do not agree, then why not just work at a company where they won't change terminology for cultural sensitivity reasons?

You can't talk about rationality whilst talking about a country centric view. Rational actions are defined by the society that judges it. Twitter is an American company. If you feel like you have to "walk on eggshells" then m

It's so interesting to see the how organically the next method of belittling anti racist actions has come to life spreading like a meme. How are scientists going to stop police brutality?

I don't understand why there's so much pushback against the moves to remove terminology like master/slave from IT. It makes people uncomfortable and it's such a small change. And it's just software, go use sed or wh

Does thermal paste expire? I've got a P51 that's 2 years old now I think. The fan is always on max. And it's hot, like I wouldn't wear shorts and put it on my lap hot. Or perhaps there's another cause?

Yeah. It's crazy to me that they haven't decided to create some abstract virtual midi instrument. That you can instruct the browser to pass through to your devices.
