Not saying it's right, but in general, updates tend to introduce pointless UI changes which are catastrophic for older people who aren't technologically inclined. Apple itself isn't too bad in this regard, but apps do this al

My 2002 Maxima (manual) used the rear disk brake as the e-brake (unlike most other cars that have a separate drum e-brake). The issue there is that as the car cooled off, the disk contracted and the e-brake would lose grip. Learned the hard

You're also not tied to any particular vendor with a pure software approach.

You could redirect these requests at your router though, essentially performing a MITM on your own device. That will no longer be possible, which is a good and bad thing depending on the circumstances.

Well, for a given chip, it usually just refers to a wider temperature range. But there are other types of flash that are better suited for this environment. I see parallel and SPI NOR flash a lot in ruggedized embedded devices (usually with

I'm going to be a little petty here, so sorry in advance: It's common for Tesla fans to mock other automotive manufacturers for being "old and slow" - as if they're incompetent because they take so long to develop n

Yeah, it works with the official Bitwarden clients. I'm using it with the iOS client personally.

> I read somewhere that you need to get a license even if you use a custom server I don't think this is the case. There's really no way to use the license with a custom server anyway.

by Unklejoe 7y ago
I don't think it's that ironic. All of the software written by "Bitwarden" is open source. The fact that it uses some pre-existing propriety software doesn't change that. If it did, then that logic could really be e

by Unklejoe 7y ago
Not really - it's mainly just notable due to the controversy regarding the license incompatibility of ZFS and the Linux kernel, and the fact that Ubuntu is shipping them together while others deem this a violation.

I just set up my own Bitwarden server the other day using bitwarden_rs, a third-party implementation written in Rust. It basically gives you all of the premium features for free, as opposed to the official server which requires a license. I

Fair enough - a law is overkill. The issue I have is that phones and tablets are slowly replacing general purpose computers for the majority of people (at least for day to day use), and there's a fundamental difference in how they oper

I guess this means no more DNS based ad blocking for devices like the Chromecast which ignore the DNS info provided by DHCP and are instead hard coded to use Google’s server?

I think it depends just how grueling the physical work is. My dad is 71 years old (I'm 28) and has been doing autobody repair work for 55 years (still working to this day). He has mild arthritis, but he's in remarkably good shape.
