   Jesus. My friends who use Apple computers always make fun of the "tech shit" that "dos users" like me have to deal with. And how Apple "just works". (Yeah, they say "Dos" when they mean "Linux&qu

   How is this different from just using a WiFi Hotspot? It also "contains the whole internet" but does not need physical access.

   I would be surprised if any downscaling takes place. I run some heavy computation software from time to time and compare the performance to other computers. Many of them in datacenters. I would probably notice if a machine suddenly downscal

   I have the following approach to fanless computing: 1) I buy any desktop I like for its form factor 2) I either use the onboard graphic or a fanless graphics card 3) I set the threshold for all fans that are accessible via fancontrol to a l

   Wouldn't it be easier to make the browser use https by default? And then if a domain does norespond to a https request ask the user "There seems to be no secure way to communicate with www.somedomain.com - want to switch to insecu

   I wonder how effective HTTPS is against MITM attacks. When I type www.somedomain.com into my browser, it goes to http://www.somedomain.com . If the page then redirects to https://www.somedomain.com it is too late alre

   What special "wrong thing" can root do? There might os level files that only root can edit or delete. I don't care about those. I can reinstall the os anytime if I should ever mess it up. All the value is in my data.

   I never understood the obsession with sudo. Why not just be root in the first place?

   When Steve Jobs died, Apple was worth $300 billion. Now it is worth $600 billion. So far, not only did Tim Cook live up to the expectations in Apple under Jobs (which would mean to keep the company value at the same level) but he even overp

    Yes, I heard about it. For now, I disabled Electrolysis completely again, because I had pages freeze sometimes when I had it on. Maybe because it is incompatible with some plugin I use. My current solution to tun multiple instances as diffe

    we’ll be rolling out the first stage of Electrolysis to 100% of Firefox desktop users over the next few months. From my experiments with it, this still does not fix the problem that the javascript in all windows shares one c

    What makes you certain? I am fairly certain that the world's best search engine is not falling for that. How can we decide who is right?

    When the 2048 game came out, I quickly hacked up a 2 player version and placed it under the Instapainting.com domain for SEO purposes. Does this really work? Does Google think you are a better site for ordering paintings b

    How do these devices make themselfes reachable from the public internet in the first place? As far as I know, my router does not forward incoming traffic. How would it know which device to forward it to anyhow?

    Since Mixcrate is an LLC, why didn't they just wait it out? If the other company really sued and bankrupted the LLC - so be it. Shut it down. Why shut it down because of a "letter"?

    What is the additional phone verification good for if you can bypass it anyhow? I mean - if you can chose between pw+phone and pw+pw2 ... why bring the phone into play at all?

    I am sure the DDoS problem is something that the free market will sort out. The individual players will make it costly for the other players to send problems their way. I expect a chain of "charge the next node for resource usage"

    Can money really "get lost"? I would think a dollar that otherwise would have been paid via salary to one of these 14k now goes some other way. Somebody else gets it. Somebody else can spend it.

    I wonder why he can't hire a "Sub CEO" whose job it is to handle 90% of the shit. Mission statement: "Act like the CEO. But you are allowed to pass the hardest 10% of your tasks to Larry. 10%. Not more.".

    Still no word on what happened. How did the heist happen? Why did BitGo sign the transactions? My expectation: It will throw a very bad light on BitFinex and BitGo when the nature of the breach is revealed.

    Guess it managed to upload your phone ID and other stuff just fine in the process. To the developers: Give me a website or leave me alone.

    Seconded. Is there a way to run Android apps in a VM on Linux? A VM for phone applications would be similar to a browser. A browser runs websites in a safe environment. A way to run apps in a safe environment would be nice.
