Both face and fingerprint authenticate in under a second on all the machines I use. If the machine is joined to a domain you'd need to use Hello for Business. It's more involved to set up, but if you've got enough Windows com

I remember reading that when all OS data cost money half of their income came from other government departments, so once you add dealing with all that licensing there's not much extra cost to just fund it out of general revenue.

Java is still (as I understand it) very much a thing for EMV and possibly other smart-card applications (transport fare media?).

Azure was originally Windows Azure, but that was changed a month after satyan became the CEO. (MS employee; I work in Azure, but didn't become an MS employee until 2019.)

How is a proxy operator in harm’s way? They aren’t in Iran, and the Iranian government understands the consequences of trying to do anything about it. Users are in no more danger than they’ve always been, and substantially less than if they

Is there a reason North Korea would be reluctant to sail the seven seas for a copy of Ansys?

Not entirely coincidentally, they've known or should have known for at least that long that putting new workload on Flash would not lead to rising property values in Tokyo. They knew exactly what the consequences would be and did it an

They can change it to closed source, and anyone can start a closed-source fork. The contributors I know wouldn't stick around after such an event, however. If that's a problem for you, you could try VyOS (LGPL/GPL2/GPL3

U-NII, mostly. The drawback from amateur radio or another licensed service is that you won't be able to use anything like the same power output. Whether that works for you depends on your definition of "long distance".

If the BLM protestors attempted to storm buildings defended by the federal police that were deployed to those protests, they'd have been mowed down with light machine guns. Had the police not rioted themselves, nothing would have happe

Turkey's S-400 system was both contracted for and delivered during the Trump administration. We'll see what the US does or doesn't do when the president isn't the weakest since Harrison.

To the extent that Texas has such a reputation, it's entirely unearned. The state loves sticking its nose into pretty much every area where it doesn't belong; they want to tell you on what days and from whom you can buy groceries;

They couldn't convince developers to publish applications to the Amazon Store, which meant that the device was substantially less useful than a Google Android phone.

Maybe if those contractors are VP level or DINK; a senior IC working for a Beltway bandit might possibly, with a tailwind, clear 200k total compensation, but that's very much the high end of their pay scale despite the hourly rates the

Tips being an incentive for good service would violate causality. In reality, waiters get higher tips for being white and attractive, which isn't exactly unexpected given the racist crap mentioned in the article.

The best anti-SLAPP law in the country, no state ban on municipal broadband, no blue laws, allows people who get a JD by remote learning to take the bar exam.

Self-assertions of compliance can be legitimate. To appear on that list they'd need third-party validation of their compliance, which is not the same thing.

It shouldn't; I don't use Google Calendar at the moment but Outlook seems to have no problems with people in multiple time zones all seeing the correct time for a meeting.

What you're describing is conspiracy to commit embezzlement; everyone who participated in that conspiracy gets a tenured position at Folsom. And why would you close the university? Are you seriously claiming that everyone in management

Whitelisting would make it much more difficult for wildcat DoH. On the gripping hand, whitelisting is extremely annoying and tends to block more work-related-and-useful than software that is actually malicious.
