I never really understood why IoT devices don't communicate via the power cable; at a guess it's because the hardware needed is too bulky or more expensive than wifi.

Yup, Home-Brew ISA Cards is a thing. There are people out there who have reverse engineered some to create clones, not only for ISA but for more modern buses too.

When I couldn't figure out how to change windows 10 to look like windows 98 I installed linux with a windows98 UI and haven't been happier. I still think Windows 3.1 was peak UI though ;)

I am so glad I am not the only person this enrages. I have all but stopped using Slack for the time being simply because its too painful to use the input. Sure roll out a WYSIWYG editor but make it optional via a config flag.

This is why all the clever oil companies have been pivoting investment into renewables.

On every dedicated box I keep a swap partition with an alert raised when its used beyond a certain threshold. For all VMS no-swap because as far as they are concerned disk = network. Then again anything above 80% memory utilisation and we b

Not having as much activity isn't in my opinion a bad thing. Its quality over quantity. I know when I visit lobste.rs that I am going to get a front page of decent content and I may even know or recognise the poster. Reddit has become

I typically browse the internet with JavaScript disabled by default and rarely come across issues - when I do unless the website is appealing enough to white-list for js I go elsewhere. I have also found the reader view functionality on iOS

I think a lot of developers leave their mark with documentation. I have myself stumbled upon many easter-egg comments that have put a smile on my face.

I've never assumed "guys" to be gendered, here it just refers to a group of people.

The fact that urls cited in publications no longer work over time is why I often included their content as apendix's to my essays. That way even if the original source is lost the referenced material isn't. Then again material pub

It's not ok. I can see the interest in it from a marketeers point of view being that you can target localised marketing to people so rather than a company thats 30 miles way you might see adverts for companies within walking distance.

I was thinking the exact same thing as I have been porting some old terminal based games to the browser and having a decent looking terminal interface would really help with the immersion.

I honestly think you have hit the nail on the head with this. It is an unfortunate consequence of a modern education system that is set up to produce worker bees.

That is an interesting take on it. I was thinking it would be more of a level playing field for small physical retailers if the larger online stores had to charge the same retail tax. My thoughts were that if you bought something from a sto

When the orders come from a human then there is someone who is ultimatly responsible, someone to put through the courts, someone to throw in jail. When the orders come from a computer. Will any of that happen, will there be someone responsi

"We were only following orders" suddenly feels even more scary when they come from a computer and not a human.

Remember when Apple killed their server devision? It wasn't because it wasn't profitable - because it was. They killed it because it wasn't profitable enough to be anything other than a rounding error on their accounts. I fea

Because in order to sell you onto these bullshit packages they will end up making your regular connection hellish. So you have an issue connecting to netflix... oh sir for just $14.99/mo you can get our Netflix QoS package added on to
