On games this can be quite expensive in terms of frames per second and smoothness because of how it interacts with the monitors refresh rate. If the next buffer isn’t quite ready in 1/60th of a second for the start of the monitors refr

This is not an indie game that needs exposure and a platform from Apple, this is Netflix and I would argue they receive little to no value from Apple.

Aviva here has it's Drive App, you need to drive 200 miles to get a score from 1 to 10 which discounts your premium, though they only go up to 28% discount vs. 50% from Root. https://www.aviva.co.uk/car-insurance/d

Radio 4 still broadcasts on long wave as well as FM, which I assume is helpful for ships far out at sea.

Duplicity has support for B2 back end now, I use it for a lot of backup and it works well. Versioning, encryption etc.

I use some custom fail2ban rules on my web servers, for example too many hits on url X in a 10 minute window = firewalled for a day. Helps stop brute forcing on web apps e.g. Wordpress and can cut down massively on the traffic the server is

The senators only have 5 minutes each so all there is time for is a bit of grandstanding. Anything you try and go deeper on Zuck will just kill time for 5 minutes.

The driver has ultimate responsibility for operating their car safely. Autopilot does not change that, it says so in the manual.

A Fox on tiny tyres is not the same as a 2 ton Tesla on wide tyres, where steering force required is concerned.

That's interesting because refusing to delete personal information is going to be directly contrary to GDPR in a few months, the penalty for which will be 4% of global turnover.

If you have hard drive access you can replace the logon.scr screensaver executable with the command prompt executable, then a few minutes after boot up a command prompt with system privileges will appear by magic.

Yes the pipe would need to rise from the cistern up to higher than the level of the resevoir, which would not always be practical. The resevoir would not then be able to fill the cistern over that loop :)

It sounds like a good idea although some water companies are not that happy with an end user putting water back into the supply. Technically the pipe under your sink is open all the way back to the reservoir or whatever so there’s potential

I agree, when I’m troubleshooting a general rule is ‘it’s never the CPU’. I think the writer has misinterpreted something to derive that statement.

The length of the race is important too, even against a standard Porsche GT3 the Porsche is ahead by 125mph or so which is fast 1/4 mile trap speed.

The article doesn’t mention the trust that owns The Guardian, now a limited company, which is quite interesting because it was set up to own The Guardian for purely philanthropic reasons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

When we had our daughter I was annoyed that I ended up paying about £50 for parking for the week that recovery from the cesarian took. Looking back I guess that was a bit short sighted!

I was listening to a radio programme yesterday where they discussed the dominance of young white males in shaping tech and how that can exclude other demographics without them even being aware of it. That bubble mentality is exactly the iss

The system should be tuned so that under excessive pressure from requests it starts to turn requests away before running out of RAM. Having a small ammount of swap will let you get closer to the limit of RAM use without risking OOM killing

Maybe they had the same database user for the Wordpress as something more sensitive, or maybe apache/php running as a user with more access than needed alowed them to pull more creds from the code for other apps on that box. Good reaso

That’s exactly the reason for the slowdown though. Phone shutting off = new battery under warranty. Phone silently slowed down = increase in new iPhone sales.

You're right you didn't say slightly, I apologise. And the Hitler thing was an extreme example but you understand what I was trying to say. Personally, I do perceive a strong anti conservitive and pro labour bias in that paper, ev

The headline of the article is '...how could the government strike such a bad deal'. I actually don't agree that facts always speak for themselves. I think it's very easy to pick naked facts to lead the reader where you
