Their array of SNPs in ASCII letters is under 10MB compressed, probably well under that using a specialized SNP format/compression algorithm. Less than a complex Microsoft Office file. Yeah, I can imagine they have a few dozen copies s

Anytime your scale has to go into negative numbers to represent common scenarios, it's not human friendly. If you're not tying your scale to human-specific temps, why not just use Kelvin? At least that won't go negative.

I've had pretty good luck with the ESP line and WiFi, even have 2 of the 32s that have the port for external antenna working in sheds about 150' from the nearest AP. I've always turned off power saving and given them hard cod

The TPM is resistant to attacks as well. It requires presence by entering the PIN.

And of course, the ones that come from the end of a needle. If most supplements actually worked, a pharma company would analyze it and reformulate it to get a patent, and then you'd hear about it on commercials.

Passkeys tied to actual hardware, like the TPM-based solution in Windows Hello, whenever possible, Keepass where not. Keepass DB cloud synced, but the passkey file I use in conjunction with a p/w to open it never leaves the machine(s)

Good luck with CF's Tunnel. It may have been the complexity of my network at work, but I wasted a day trying to get that to work. Endless web setup 'wizards' and clicking around different components and their settings in the

Been there, have the scars from googling mongo error log messages to prove it. I've been pleased at work to see some on-prem server apps switching to SQLite recently. Most recent that comes to mind is EFT Server (Windows SFTP/FTPS

I don't see colocation charges in there, unless you were planning on running your 'server' out of your house on a residential internet connection (that probably has restrictions on acceptable use.) By the time you spec out a

You missed the perfect middle ground between serverless and mouse-configuring an IIS VM: Azure App Services. It's the same service function apps are using once they advance beyond the trivial function and require longer runtimes or no

If you're feeling like your doctor/PCP is a gatekeeper, get a new one, seriously. Maybe I've been lucky, but my doctors have always written scripts for anything I ask for, assuming there's some validity to my need, and (

I've been using Music Folder Player ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.zorillasoft... ) for over a decade for this very reason. I think Android has now made this type of player almost obsolete.

As a teen, DXM was a frequent escape. I always liked the 'afterglow', which seemed to lift my mood for a week or afterwards. When I saw the studies come out about ketamine years later, it all made sense. However, I introduced it t

That is usually due to 'implied consent' laws. Most states have it written into what you sign to get your license that you must submit to DUI testing. Generally, you can refuse, but the penalty for refusal is worse than the DUI pe

DUI checkpoints are a flagrant violation of the Constitution, and one of the most braindead rulings of SCOTUS ever (Michigan v. Sitz). Later cases would uphold that checkpoints for general crime control were violations of the 4th, but &#x27

I like using OPAL on my low powered laptop (8th gen i3), since Bitlocker eats some of that prescious CPU. Testing showed the impact of BL to be about 20% worse for the write speed and somewhere around a few percent read. Not earth shatterin

In this case, they're talking about the Bitlocker disk encryption PIN, which is in _addition_ to the Windows password, or more common now, PIN. You can set them both to the same thing if you choose. The disk PIN on boot is uncommon&#x2

We already see signs that it might head this way. Numerous IoT junk (Facebook portal and Google Home Minis come to mind), will ignore DHCP-provided DNS servers and use their own (usually 1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8 respectively) if they don't
