WiFi host networks are frequently queried by all nearby devices to see what access points are available. Collecting device IDs that are scanning is useful information since for a long time and on most devices, the MAC address was not rotate

This is until they start using 5G or LoRa to make a mesh to get around that.

To each their own but I’ll share a contrasting point of view, resolve to never settle your grudges, and never forgive your enemies.

Seems like some people are happy to use their intelligence to troll Vinny Troia. To each their own, I say.

You may remember names by conjuring an image of the person, or a memory of them. Hard to say until you figure out the pattern. It took me a good 30+ years to notice it. It also affects general recall for me. If I think a name might start wi

That’s not asking too much imho :)

This is pretty much how I store and recall names. I noticed I often confuse names of the same length with the same first and last letters. Sometimes just the first two or three letters as well.

I would hope they are clear about what they are looking for when they talk to candidates (Given the time, I doubt they were though!) but I've seen things like this as a way to see how people approach a novel/new problem. Are they

The one thing they might have done that is closer to a metaverse than just immersion though: creating a completely digital economy, where work inside the metaverse has value based on creating within the metaverse. Facebook has nailed the ec

I saw on Wikipedia that the same instrument claimed to have detected the sterile neutrino (with lower confidence). Is anyone in the know enough to explain why they are saying it doesn't exist now, and how that affects their previous fi

TIL they also built an unreleased sequel to Flashback called Flashback Legends and it looks great: https://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/16/flashback-legends-beta-a...

Switching tools sure does highlight your own quirky usage of a tool. I installed exa and aliased it to ls, probably mistake number one. I tend to look for things using reverse sorting a lot, and exa -ltra exa -lSr don't work out of the

I, uh, guess you didn’t grow up in the South in a Christian family. The stigmatization of sex seems pervasive if you have been involved in the south or conservative religions. I never was taught that cold sores are a virus transmitted via s

Prices just seemed to hit an arbitrary floor without the technology being of higher quality to justify the still high price. Couldn’t a Chromebook have three or four year old tech at this point costing a half of the price?

But they’ve never gone under about $200 MSRP despite not really delivering better or more advanced hardware on par with the advancement of the market.

Ah, good point. Thanks for saying that and I apologize for my absurdity. I nonetheless do still find it funny that people in the information age still believe in bronze age concepts used to describe the world.

I've been beating myself up trying to understand why cheap 11" laptops aren't more common. Ten years ago the atom based "netbooks" were ~$200-300. Yes, they had almost no RAM, eMMC storage, and archaic wifi chips, b

Or they could give users the tools to scan for malware with appropriate local permissions and only phoning home with permission?

I’d bet money on it. Or if not nationalized, funded like DOD contractors.

Yeah I think we are agreeing. I’m just saying it’s a funny interpretation that Revelations took of that technique to make it physical and believing that interpretation when there is prior art is also funny.

It’s not the elderly with dementia that are out spreading COVID by refusing a vaccine, they’re the ones who are just dying within a few weeks. I’m sad for all the elderly especially those in communal living spaces who have limited mobility

Thanks a bunch, I think others have said it was the increased demand and I didn’t quite get it, or the scale of the lopsidedness it caused, until the way you described it!

A little off topic, but these ports don’t usually store so many empty crates, so why do we have them now? Are we not exporting at the same rate? Is that even what empty crates are used for? I’m assuming they aren’t sent back to (mostly?) Ch

Exactly the point. The police can waste your time. Those people can’t go to work and will likely lose their job because they are being jammed up by police.

The number of its name is generated similar to a hash. And it existed outside of and before the beast reference as a cultural trend. It’s seen multiple times in ancient writing. It’s funny because it’s a reference to a common way to encode&
