TIL Delicious hadn't already been killed by Yahoo! All kidding aside though they were one of the first to have a really cool domain name. It will always be del.icio.us to me.

You have to go to a testing center and show two forms of ID before you are allowed to take the test. You are also monitored during the test and cannot bring anything into the room. They even require you to turn in the scratch paper and penc

I just got my AWS CSA Professional certificate a couple weeks ago. It was definitely an intense experience and the 3 hour test was a fun challenge but through the process of studying I was able to pick up quite a few lessons that I applie

True. I have an iPad 4 that I only use for reading iBooks, occasionally browsing the web, and watching YouTube / NetFlix occasionally. I find I'm using it less and less because it's unbearably slow. When I first got it, I u

The other issue is that these devices have a limited lifetime in comparison to what they are replacing, paper textbooks. We may complain that textbooks our kids have are X years old, or don't have Y or Z fact in them that has transpir

Exactly! IMHO Microsoft shouldn't have released the patch to people that aren't paying for extended support. It is just going to encourage cheap CIOs to continue to ignore their dying infrastructure. They just doomed themselves

Where is the responsibility on the companies and organizations that want to run this ancient and insecure software on such mission critical applications? Microsoft does offer a path for these organizations that can't upgrade to a newe

Cool looking server rack doors. Reminds me of a conversation I had with a designer at IBM Raleigh. He showed me models of some of the server rack designs that he worked on at IBM for their super computers (I think it was Blue Gene). He sa

Considering how easy it would be to filter this out, why has Google allowed it to continue spreading within their own email network? Obviously they have no control over what goes on outside of Gmail/G Suite, but inside their own netwo

Am I the only one that was wondering why the dialup ISP Juno.com was considered a rival to Uber? Guess it's a different Juno.. TIL Juno.com still offers dial-up for $15.95/mo. Gone are the days of free dial-up with obnoxious bann

We use Groove also. It works fine but we do wish it had any kind of mobile support. Even if the desktop site would just function in a mobile browser would be helpful. Two way Slack integration would be a dream (it has notification only now.

I once had the opportunity to listen to an extremely talented WiFi expert from Aruba Networks explain on a whiteboard to a rapt audience of infrastructure engineers how this works. And how adding multiple SSIDs is a contributing factor to

My experience has been that Google rejects ads that don't have a valid URL. We got all kinds of warnings about potentially having our Adwords account banned if we didn't fix a typo in a URL in one of our ads.

The title of the article is misleading. The article actually states that Taser's cameras do not have facial recognition. They use face detection to blur and redact faces from footage captured by body cameras. And far from real time the

I guess like every option mentioned here they all suck for someone. We have used Uberconference and the audio quality is terrible. And it's not uniformly terrible either which is even more frustrating. Some of the attendees won't

I would guess that Oracle isn't expecting their customers to love from AWS to Azure. They are expecting they move to Oracle Cloud. I didn't see any mention of that in the original article but I wouldn't doubt those rules eith

Apiary was (is) a very slick product. Hopefully it doesn't become a licensing fiasco.

It also could be that Oracle realized the customers had some degree of perceived lock-in, so they jacked the price up to milk the customers dry on license renewal time. The customers paid once because they had little alternative, but start
