Do you happen to have a source on the TSO switch ? It sounds fascinating.

Can you please provide encrypted backups first ? It's ridiculous to have no way of transferrig your data other than unencrypted Google Drive backups...

The amount of times the "-3" scp flag saved me from waiting tens of minutes is non-negligeable. I'd say it's paramount to a number of premade scripts out there, so an "scp replacement" without it is bound to ma

That's no replacement for CUPS. Far from it, it builds upon CUPS. From the page you linked: > PAPPL requires a POSIX-compliant host operating system such as Linux®, macOS®, QNX®, or VxWorks®. It also requires the following support l

Huh, didn't know about this. Can you please give me your source on this ? Should be a fun read.

I'm curious about what they call "enhanced AES-GCM encryption". Because to me that smells like "roll your own crypto" kind of deal, where "moar perf" quickly ends up being "moar sidechannels" (wh

Fair enough, but the problem is mainly when you are in a third world country and parts are very difficult to get, and where Mac stores are non-existent.

Exactly. This would "in theory" allow Doom to be running outside of the "prescribed parameters".

The fact that Apple uses this chip to, among other things, block "unauthorized repair" (can't change a freaking SSD in 2020, really), makes me very happy that people are finding ways to break this chip to make repairs more ac

I don't know what country you are, but in both the countries I lived in, pharmacies are more reasonable, especially for adult buyers. They would usually ask if you have an old prescription (maybe dating back a year or two), or perhaps

I do agree with the first idea. The second one is not always the best line of thought, especially when it's about sovereignty or defense. Suppose you buy fighter jets from China, but tensions rise and you somehow cut diplomatic ties. H

I am genuinely intrigued about how much is costs to commission those tests. They are so complete and thorough that I can't see myself being able to afford one for some project of mine, but I would absolutely like to to have an estimate

How does it fare, adjusting for inflation and other similar factors ?

If you go by the American-style "absolute freedom" mantra, I get where you're coming from. On the other hand, casting a vote doesn't mean CHOOSING a candidate. It means that you can cast a BLANK vote. And that, in and of

First of all, LibreOffice does support a Ribbon UI, without all the patent-y stuff. Secondly, "better MS office compatibility" is really, really a non-constructive and large comparative. For example, a good post would have been to

Okay so, here we go again: An article which does not go into any detail about specifics, and makes a very bold claim (i.e. this product is better than this one because I said it's better). Why is this on the front page ....

Well, in theory, yes. In practice, there have been recorded instances where the US Government has asked people to disclose their social media [1] and in other ones (I failed to find the source) refused access to people who refused to log in

In life, you sometimes learn that what is mathematical or cutting edge is not always synonymous with useful or revolutionary. "Hackers" of 1990s were just script kiddies by today's standards, because the "bar was low&quo

Upon reading "Surely you must be joking Mr. Feynman !" and "What do you care what other people think ?", I have become somewhat of a fan of Mr. Richard Feynman. (Despite it being against his idea about idolizing people).

Okay here's the thing. I'm okay with people bashing other (competing) companies when they do wrong. However, I believe it is somewhat childish and uncalled for to bash another company, because of a mistake. First of all "I us
