I guess I'll forever be apologizing for that post, but (as I mentioned in another, after digging into their technology) there was no mention of the novelty of their approach to generation in Sam's announcement. So "they have

Yes, I figured that out long after my original post. It's just that Sam's post didn't mention any (semi-)novel method for generating electricity from fusion, so the actual words - "they and their team have built a genera

Okay, a little further digging into their claims and successes reveals what I think Sam's point of "they built a generator that produces electricity" means. As some one else mentions, part of Helion's novelty is that the

What concept has been proven? Have they achieved fusion? Or the concept of generating electricity from heat, proven long ago?

What is the point of that? Edit: I'm not trying to be (too) pedantic. But the brief investment announcement went to the trouble of saying "they built a generator that produces electricity" and (effectively) "but no net e

Then what is the meaning of "have built a generator that produces electricity" other than meaningless hype? Edit: fix quote

And once again, we arrive at the real definition of cryptocurrency: It's not a currency, or financial system, it's a counterpoint to democracy.

But patent terms are 20 years. It had clearly been more than 20 years. Why didn’t the lawyer simply state this in their counterclaim? I don’t actually see it anywhere in the counterclaim.

Also missing from the article is an explanation of why they spent $12k defending against an expired patent?

I don't have a video link handy, but this British mod dude has a very brief summary: Guide.Zenn22.Shop (redirects to a steam site I think). He has many modded F91W's on eBay. I have one "fake" F91W, it's actally SKM

If you have a database of known-compromised hosts (because a fingerprint scan of them shows something clearly identifiable as part of a botnet, which I think is usually rare [but possibly not for Mēris]), it can mitigate an attack if you&#x

FWIW, a plug here for The FreshTomato router firmware. I just retired my PiHole because FT does the same job seemingly just as well. Tomato has long been my chosen router firmware - much easier to use than OpenWrt, but not quite as feature-

I learned that over 20 years ago, and it still works perfectly. And I didn't have to learn that the daemon was running, because it is always running. Another systemd "change for change's sake" argument.

In my experience, cifs is the client side, smb[d] is the server side. On Linux, anyway. cifs has been in the kernel (supporting access to SMB shares, including through SMB 3.1), whereas the user-space samba has always been the only

We "fixed" it with broadcast, it was the only way. There are indeed a number of old routers out there that do not work with mDNS well. This is still a problem, but most <5yo routers seem to handle it okay (with the caveat that

Highly anecdotal, but I spoke to Bilstein about some seemingly unobtainium shocks yesterday. Pre-pandemic these part numbers were common as dirt. They said their sales were up 50-60% over the last 18 mos, and that raw materials supply is do

Can be, for sure. One thing I’ve enjoyed is a focus on just a couple of brands of old watches. I have about 10 Enicar watches; they made everything from simple hand-wind no-date watches (my favorite) to complex chronographs. They have a whi

Agreed, and his argument ignores the market for a large proportion of counterfeit sales - not sold as originals, but sold as counterfeits , for substantially lower cost than the original.

Totally, I still have ‘fond’ memories of Hungarian notation variables starting with ‘h’ and ‘w’. What I can’t remember is what they stood for - ‘w’ was a word, and I think ‘h’ a half-word. But was a word 16 bits when I was writing that code
