The Pirates of Silicon valley DVD was the first item I've ever bought on Amazon. This was circa 2001, I was 15 and living in Europe. Ordering something from the US over the internet and having it delivered 2 weeks later was very exciti

I remember a Discovery program showing what supposedly was an AN-225 airframe parked in a field somewhere. The story was that it was finished, but never certified for flight, and was eventually used for parts to keep the one 225 operational

Walking is part of my daily work routine. Usually around 2~3pm I go out for a ~45 minute walk. I use this time to think about work related problems, solving them in my head as I go. Sometimes a walk can be much longer, if I'm stuck at

Is that a quirk of the 'pro' version? I have read many complaints online of people calling the PS4 noisy. I have a PS4 slim, and it is very quiet, the optical drive is by far the loudest part of the machine.

Well, yes, something like that, but not in a cluster form, but just a single CM4 on a mini-itx form factor board, with PCIe slots, USB ports, ethernet, etc. You could build a fully blown Linux desktop peripheral wise, just don't expect

It is 1x, obviously. But I highly doubt that the PCIe bus is going to be the bottleneck here ;-) I guess it would be possible to design an ATX size motherboard with a RPi4 compute module slot (once CM4 becomes available). The PCIe bus woul

I guess that's why NEC and Blackberry never took off in Europe, as the data usage would financially ruin you. With prices of about 5 euro per megabyte you lived in constant fear of accidentally using data.

Hi Jean, I'm trying not to make this sound as a generic LinkedIn business advice, but get a better profile picture. Maybe a picture of you in front of one of the art pieces. Something that gives me an impression of who you are and what

I'm happy to say that things are going better now. Since I'm not in a relationship and I live alone, loneliness kicked in hard. Dating is also very impractical right now, so all I've done is just working 7 days a week. Luckil

Insane. Just think of the risk that this 'master key' exposed to the bank's employees. Having access to something as insanely valuable as a bank 'master key' puts the employees at risk of blackmail, extortion, etc.

I came here just to write that. Starship development iterations are going crazy fast, but to reach orbit they'll also need Super Heavy. Haven't been keeping up on the development lately, but I believe SpaceX is yet to start buildi

You shouldn't rely on only ed25519 for DKIM, always double-sign your email with RSA as a fallback The problem with email will forever be that there are so many badly configured email servers out there. Any new standard in email will al

That would be RFC8463 "A New Cryptographic Signature Method for DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)" [0] The biggest improvement on using EC over RSA in DKIM is that the public key will fit in a single DNS TXT rr. The problem here i

Just ran the configurator, the price is _really_ good IMO. With memory maxed out (32GB), a 1TB SSD and WiFi 6 it's only 1099 EUR. Too bad it's not offered with a 4K display. And personally I would have preferred a TB3 port over al

I guess it's one of those things that you need to use for a while to 'get it'. Just like switching from FHD to 4K (on a laptop). You won't be blown away immediately when you first use it, until you go back to FHD and sud

I didn't realize EVs still have a 12V battery, I always assumed 12V accessories are ran directly of the DC-DC converter. Thanks for pointing that out!
