I always figured the main reason people used VPNs was to be able to pirate movies and music without getting those letters from their ISP and that all the other reasons were just plausible deniability points.

Does Google itself support TOTP with Google Authenticator? When I try to enable 2FA, the only options seem to be a text, call, security key (I’m guessing this is FIDO?), and “get a notification on your device”.

I wonder how much this matters with an OS like Linux that will automatically use available RAM as filesystem cache anyway.

How did you end up doing USB with the Arduino? Was it bit banged as well (VUSB)? Is this code available anywhere?

You make a good point. Sure, some will just move their goalposts, but I personally know at least one person who initially voiced skepticism about the vaccine, and sort of locked himself into a position where he can't get it now without

Right. Not only that, in my experience, TVs and monitors really don’t even support specific rates - what I mean is, they can usually accept a range of timings. It would probably require extra work to intentionally _not_ support some specifi

Filmmakers urge TV industry to phase out fractional frame rates (e.g. 23.976fps)(flatpanelshd.com)

If we reduce it down to "someone being accused of a crime but later being found innocent", then there are several, and when it comes to sex crimes, the accusation alone is enough to ruin someone. People don't care about minor

I just wonder how deep this goes down the line of third party suppliers. Like, I know a lot of auto manufacturers use Bosch or Siemens for their ECUs, so I would think it’s really out of their hands. Then again, maybe they have terms in the

All they have to do is force Apple and Google to ban it and any apps that use it from their app store and they've effectively banned encryption for like 99% of people.

They could just keep scanning the data stored on their servers like everyone else does (Google, Etc) and leave it at that.

That would be the best case scenario, but then why wouldn’t they come out and say that? They could have announced this all in one shot and saved themselves a lot of blowback. I believe they have to understand that, which makes me think the

> Once again, the notion that everything on the device is scanned under Apple's system was never true. That isn't what I said. Also, that's not why most people are so upset. Most people are so upset mainly because Apple ha

Once again, this scan takes place on _their_ servers on data that is stored on _their_ servers. It does not take place on the device itself, which is the case with this new Apple thing.

I've implemented this (using GPS PPS to discipline a clock) using regular old PI control loops. I just make the loop damped enough to filter out the GPS PPS jitter and you're good.
111.
by Unklejoe 5y ago
You use a jittery GPS PPS signal to discipline a highly stable primary clock through a very "slow" filter. The GPS PPS might have an RMS period jitter of say 10-20 nanoseconds, but the drift will be 0. Then, you can use that disci

I suspect they use something like a TXV (thermostatic expansion valve) that is found on newer household AC units. This acts as sort of a regulator for the system, which ultimately ends up reducing the load on the compressor as the evaporato

I always assumed carbon capture was a hard requirement for a sustainable future, as long as there are some things that can't be run off of renewables. Plus, even if the world dropped its co2 output to pre-industrial revolution levels,
