I’ve been doing the same, and I was personally hoping it would follow the same standard price + $30 that the RV crowd has gotten. I’m pretty disappointed with the cost, and I would fear that they’ll use geolocation to force you to maritime

It will be nice if they do come up with an experiment based approach to reviews. Personally I really enjoy Gamer Nexus since they already do this. Their coverage of the Nvidia cooler design change was really interesting to watch, and they w

I’m desperately wishing for Valve to have success with the Deck so that Linux gets better attention from game devs. The last Windows machine in my environment is exclusively for PC games, and I honestly can’t wait to install Linux over it.

Early crypto was an innovation in that certain aspects of the financial system were set to be controlled solely by code, and could not be influenced by any outside force. For example, no one can magically issue new bitcoins. The entire idea

I disagree on the idea that it would render crypto useless. In one aspect this would absolutely fail to address an entire section of the crypto market - privacy. You can attempt to make the tired “if you have nothing to hide” argument again

Monero itself is not KYC, sorry if I worded that poorly above. The transactions to and from Kraken can definitely be tracked since they would have a record of the actual wallet address you sent your funds to. As for things that happen after

by McAtNite 5y ago
My understanding, and this may be wrong since I don’t actually have Monero, is it’s not since US customers are subject to KYC. While the transaction on the blockchain would be obfuscated, the Exchange as the sender/receiver would still

That’s a possibility as well, and at the end of the day we only have Coinbase’s perspective on the interactions. To be honest, as someone who follows crypto, I get the impression that the SEC simply doesn’t know what they want to do with cr

I think part of the confusion is, if the product is what they claim it is, it already exists with a multitude of other companies. There’s a US company named Celsius in NY that already offers fixed interest for crypto and loans. Ethereum has

I’m actually really excited about this! I had previously bought everything for this exact project and referenced the blog post on your GitHub for setting up. Unfortunately I got stuck on the Mac issue myself. I’ll definitely be taking a loo

I think the right for Google to monetize and place restrictions mainly centers around the Play Services which are all tied back into their non open source projects. You could probably make a reasonable argument that Play Services are specif

If the companies have become too large then I feel that’s really the responsibility of anti-trust regulators to address rather than the courts making a ruling that you have to let other companies sell their services in your store.

How do they expect those competing platforms to be delivered? If via side loading through a website then we’ve already seen them complain about Google having warnings for that. If through the app stores themselves then they’re essentially a

To me this is exactly where their argument falls apart. I don’t get what Epic wants exactly. Even with Android where they initially had users side load their apps they eventually gave up and put it on the Play Store after complaining that t

I use Firefox day to day, but if I was a “power user” and picking apart web traffic everyday I’d probably use Chromium. The dev tools in it are way better than the ones built in Firefox.

Just wanted to second this. I ran several public Linux servers at a major university. China and Russia based IPs we’re constantly trying to brute force all of our servers. It got the point where we would just apply a geoblock just in case o

This is true to an extent. The other half of the equation is just a cultural thing with the CIA. There’s a lot of intelligence groups in the US, but the CIA considers themselves the top tier. They’ve been around the longest and even other a

Out of curiosity why do you feel swarm fizzled out? I’ve deployed swarm in a home lab and found it really simple to work with, and enjoyable to use. I haven’t tried k8, but I often see view points like yours stating that k8 is vastly superi

I don’t buy that defense. They could set it up to function exactly like local encryption on your Mac. When encrypting the drive it has you set your passcode. Then it tells you in plain English that you can let them store a decryption key fo

Not to mention the ease that that feature can be abused. What’s to stop the opposing team from just vote kicking the top players on your team? I spent my entire middle school life playing Starcraft. When SC2 came out the same rush tactics I

The friction from various IT departments are often beneficial. I’m probably speaking from a point of bias as I’m one of those departments, but we often have to sanity check the implementation of things and review the security implications.

As someone running my 2015 MPB into the ground this sounds absolutely insane. I love MacOS, but this is on par with the “you’re holding it wrong” insanity. I really hope Apple gets their newer MBP straightened out before I have to buy a new

I’m currently running a VM with a GPU passed through and moonlight on my Mac for gaming. It’s really nice, my old MPB isn’t doing any real work so it easily lasts for hours if on battery, and the VM doesn’t eat up all the resources on my se
