AWS has strong DOS protection and just doesn’t tend to shout about it. Putting services behind AWS for some basically free protection has been a trick against basic volumetric attacks for a while.

Spurious SSH traffic is not a DOS, and isn’t the sort of attack this is talking about, rather volumetric floods and things of that matter.

MarkMonitor are really dull to listen to, hours of upselling from them for pointless services has been my experience.

The UX isn't all that bad other than on mobile, which is one of the worst experiences imaginable. I use it pretty regularly and the comments about the quality and latency really bear out. There's a weird issue with the server that

Put it in context, is it ever acceptable to have all your activity publicly logged? Keybase isn’t forward secure, so so disclosure of your keys later leads to complete availability of your cleartext.

It doesn’t have any mode that’s not encrypted.

Every now and then I feel guilty about using an ad blocker, then people show how the internet really looks, and I don't feel bad anymore.

That isn't what disclosing these sort of vulnerabilities is about. The core reason for just going full disclosure is that the vendor has absolutely not incentive to fix any sort of bug that is kept private. The customer is impacted, ne

> 6 days is nowhere near a justifiable timeframe for full disclosure. Of course it is, if you didn't get a response in the first 48 hours you're not going to, that's the way things like this tend to operate. The security

Depends how you read it. Could just be that any SSL connection to download a binary could be MITM'd and replaced with malware, and that would be "remote code execution" by some definitions.

You can do this with only media queries in CSS, most likely.

Disabling a lot of the bloat makes random pages break, which is an even worse experience.

No kidding. I'm using a > 1GBit fibre line and the majority of my page loads is still downloading recursive, pointless javascript dependencies, or doing a billion CORS OPTIONS requests and waiting for the response. DNS latency doesn

Interesting. I thought they were long gone.

The Sharp "memory LCD" displays are nearly zero power and can update at 60hz if you really felt like it. They stopped making them sadly, but they were used in the Pebble Watch (it's marketing claimed ePaper, it wasn't).

The way it's updating here, along with the description, give a good idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVANwwXtHEI

It's the sort of thing that's nice on paper, but the practical limitations make it sort of useless for live updating content. I really like the devices for nearly static information displays because they're not bright and dis

I've messed around with this a bunch on some 9" hardware and custom waveforms to attempt to drive the display as hard as possible, it's almost certainly not what you want to be using, especially the color ones as they require

About half an hour to get a solid glob going for mine, too long and you tend to end up with a large bias towards the top. I looked into this because I wanted to pre warm my lava lamp because it’s depressing to wake up to cold blobs.

It can be done in the same way that specifications for consumer electronics currently work. This router supports WiFi Hyper-Speed 5 Super Tough Technology with Ultra Frequency Crystals (R) for enhanced frequency modulation GAMING EDITION UL

Quite a few things are based around devices like the ESP32 and ESP8266 which are very much only on 2.4GHz. I think that we'll begin moving away from that to things having their own LTE-M1 modems in them and a token data service though.

The post also talks about "WiFi 4" and "WiFi 5", which were new terms to me. It turns out "WiFi 4" is back naming for 802.11n, "WiFi 5" is 802.11ac. So you can have Wifi 4 2.4GHz, WiFi 4 5GHz, and Wi

I appreciate that they lasted a year before muddying the already foggy "wifi 6" branding by introducing "wifi 6e". 802.11 802.11a 802.11b 802.11g 802.11-2007 802.11n 802.11-2012 802.1

A couple of watts of cooling is not even enough to overwhelm checking on the beer frankly. All peltier elements are effectively the same efficiency: atrocious.

Some space craft have actually had full reactors on them believe it or not.

by RL_Quine 7y ago
The Peltier and Seebeck effects are so grossly inefficient that even an order of magnitude increase in efficiency doesn’t bring it into reason for basically any purpose. I’m not actually aware of any device ever made that uses the seebeck e

It’s a matter of training the user to look for that though.

Samsung already did this with some ARM core that could get complete control. How do you know you’re not looking at a software emulation of the secure elements display though?
