A lot of the mechanical keyboards on the market have Cherry switches inside. While the IBM Model M is timeless, Cherry has been around forever as well (founded in the 1950s, started making keyboards in 1967) and their MX switches are about

Hangouts is getting worse as far as I'm concerned. Google Talk had only chat, but I could trust it to work as intended and deliver my messages. With Hangouts: - synchronization between devices is not as good. I will often not see every

In my memory, ICQ had a terrible client. But the protocol could be used with better, less bloated clients (like trillian). And it had features at the time, like offline messages, that came surprisingly late or were missing in other, later c

I can relate to that. When you are not under critical pressure is a great time to print the manual, sit back and try new stuff on some minor bug somewhere. I actually developed most of my debugging skill when younger, by reverse engineeri

These are all useful, and I would even say fundamental, commands. But, as such, these are also very basic commands, not tricks. If you're looking for something more advanced, you'll be disappointed. I strongly suggest to anyone us

Amazing writeup. An attack from top (javascript) to bottom (kernel bugs), while very clearly explaining the discovery and exploit of vulnerability in each layer. The attack is very impressive, and the writeup makes it seem easy, which is a

Depends on the webmail. Some do, some don't. Easy enough to test for yourself beforehand though.

Actually you will usually find BOTH the private IP address behind the NAT and the public IP address of the router in the headers. Check out a few mails you've received from a few different sources, see for yourself. I just picked the t

Many SMTP servers include the IP address of the sender in the headers (usually the Received header). Just look around, you'll be surprised.

YouTube didn't have much competition when it happened. Twitch is strong, but not as dominant as YouTube was. There exist alternative services (HitBox, Azubu,...).

In short, it's not a bad practice in all cases and, like most issues, it depends. The "goto considered harmful" article by Dijkstra is more nuanced (and that wasn't even its intended title) and doesn't really addres
