Fair point. I'm always fascinated by the conversations I've had with counsel and the perspectives they offer on things.

In my experience the in-house lead attorney is usually sitting in the corner of the CEO's office. Seems silly to phone them up. :)

Maintaining Cybersecurity Insurance is a big deal in the US, I don't know about Europe. So vulnerability disclosure is problematic for data controllers because it threatens their insurance and premiums. Today much of enterprise secur

Part of the motivation of reporting is clout and reputation. That sounds harsh or critical but for some folks their reputation directly impacts their livelihood. Sure the data controller doesn't care, but if you want to get hired or

I have Night Light perpetually on with all of my devices because I find it softens everything and makes viewing displays less harsh, less garish, less vivid, and less intense. I don't need eye searing HDR constantly cooking my retina

Glue and seals weaken with exposure to temperature extremes in both directions. I found this out the hard way too. I spent all day out in below freezing temps, when I got back to my hotel room and my smartband (not pebble) started to warm

I'm not trying to diminish or take away from this post but Visual Studio is an IDE and is not necessary to build an App. You just need the required build tools. If you've ever had to setup a CI/CD pipeline for a Visual Studio

Were the wrong graphics used in the two examples shown? I overlayed them in Paint (yeah that's right Windows), and aside from the numbers in the top left they appear identical. * Nevermind... Firefox wasn't showing the animation

With a resolution of one second, I think most people would be hard pressed to distinguish between NTP and WWV/WWVB time keeping devices.

Neo Deco is growing in popularity. There's a few youtube channels dedicated to art deco restoration and influencers showing off art deco motifs in their homes that have spurred the trend. It's just the slow swing of the pendulum

The over arching theme of your article is "tech is fun again because we're escaping the monoculture" but there's a strong unspoken signaling of "look at how cool I am". You're saying "my tech choices

Yes it's very contradictory. "I'm tied of Apple converting everything to services so I'll eschew the Apple Watch in favor of an analog watch and an Oura ring that requires a subscription." "I'm tired of di

That's a fair and valid point. Those are concessions that would need to be measured, impact analysis done, and decisions discussed on an ARB meeting. I was simply pointing out that there are mechanisms that exist today one could use t

This is pretty much it. Most renters are paying for utilities and don't realize why they're so high. My kid has been renting the same apartment while in school and their fridge failed over the summer. She manages the utilities a

Has anyone take the time to prove that out? I was a fan of the comic for years and don't recall there being a lot of casual racism strewn in.

What a weirdly worded post. You could have said something like: "Dell has priced it's Pro line of laptops in-line with Apple's Air equivalents, however Window 11's high resource utilization means we have to pay for high
