It's not clear to me from the article that Garmin did in fact get the decryption key. There's enough verbiage suggesting they didn't pay the ransom, so are we to assume they had other means? It also took Garmin quite awhile

The Surface Book line is more akin to a tablet than a laptop as the guts of that machine are still in the screen, much like the Surface Pro. I don't think it's unreasonable that there isn't in the way of repairability given i

For any serious development I stick with React. Isn't this a bit disingenuous given Vue's usage in true, scalable production capacities? I'm not the expert but companies like Netflix, Adobe, and GitLab have Vue deploy

My take: Zoom is very approachable outside of enterprise. Skype (although historically has its roots with regular folks), is mostly used in a "Skype for Business" config. MS Teams is much the same way. Good PR helps too, I suppose

My point was moreso that NameCheap appears willfully ignorant to abuses on their platform. As I am a nobody, I don't have the leverage to get them to solve these problems. Whereas Facebook suing them might introduce pressure on NameChe

As much as I despise Facebook, it's great to have this kind of pressure put on NameCheap. When I first setup my own website many years back, I made the mistake of listing my email in plain text right on the main page. Fast forward year

Small anecdote: many years ago I tracked down a working Dreamcast and acquired Sonic Adventure 2, arguably one of the best SEGA games ever created. At the time, I remember spending $40 for a used copy of the game that was now a decade old.

"And it appears as though it will be compatible with other controllers. (Probably not the Chromecast version, though.)" May I ask how you arrived at this conclusion?

by bt3 7y ago
Hmm. Does this mean that the controller is the "brains", and after sending and receiving the game play data, then needs to beam it to your device? Or do the two devices (controller + screen) work together to handle some of this? I

Can someone explain the tech here? Obviously the brains of this is a Google data center beaming the game through a Chromecast to your TV (or in-app on your Pixel/ whatever). Is there any tech in the controller? What "costs" $
