But internet connectivity is somehow inherently limitless and deliverable for free?

Exactly the problem.

Perhaps electricity might be a better analogy?

I believe the article contains a factual error about the qwerty keyboard not existing until Remington had bought the patent. The earliest commercial Sholes and Glidden Type-Writer (one that you could actually buy) had a qwerty keyboard [1].

Ug, old thread now, but I've got the same problem. Is the ssh password the same as the old UniFi password I wonder? I guess I'll try that.

Quick q: My understanding is that the unifi controller doesn't actually control anything actively, it just serves as UI to the APs. When my controller box goes down, I don't seem to notice any service difference with my 3 APs. Is

Something like that myself. I wasn't quite sure I believed the page was dynamically updating at first. This is, like, crazy great anyway. I'm freaked.

Indeed, "Taking Over.." is a misleading, click-baity heading. "Resuming Abandoned..." would be a better title.

Uh, wait. Can't really get rid of policykit-1 on Ubuntu desktop, I think. Maybe server. Pretty OT, but does anyone know if that's true (or worthwhile?)?

I like the investigation into various cruft that Ubuntu installs (and runs) that can safely be turned off. Goodbye polkit!

I grew up in Grand Rapids, two miles from Amway HQ. Working at the Amway factory (yes, there is [or was] a factory) was my first job after (dropping out of) college. A friend was the HQ tour guide for all the Silvers on their way to becomin

Incredible story, and Deep Water (the documentary) is hands-down the best documentary I've ever seen. It's easy to write off Crowhurst as a nut job, but the movie does a great job of showing him as just a human in a tight spot.

Worth noting that Google provides some Python sample code for parsing the file which works great.

Ha, this cracks me up. Been there for sure. I find it increasingly difficult to find flashlights that don't four or five modes of operation, especially bright ones that use 16450 (or is it 18450?) batteries. And they all seem to have

I'm a little lost on systemd myself. Seems like an attempt to solve the problem of startup complexity by...adding complexity. Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy. But I have a Linux 2.0 kernel machine that has been running a LAM

Over 400 invested. Ask Ross Perot about the success of NeXT.

This article doesn't mention the brand names of cameras manufactures by Hangzhou Xiongmai. Anyone know any?

Your post is late, but I would like to +10 it. AFAICT, Mirai gains access ONLY through telnet on port 23. I see no one mentioning that anywhere here. If you do not have a device with something answering on port23, then you cannot be p0wned

Could someone please illustrate a concrete example of how having the password to my camera (assuming it has an routing through NAT) can be used to generate outbound traffic? I have five cameras set up with NAT port holes. My passwords are

Ug, that pretty much terrifies me. I have a google voice number that I've used (for free) since it was Grand Central, and rely on it pretty heavily. Anybvody else seeing GV random revokes? I wonder what would happen if I tried a port-o

You would be in luck with many vintage watches. They are often much smaller (30mm-ish compared to today's minimum 40-42) and there is huge variety. I have several vintage watches (mostly 50's and 60's), and a few are just a t

Yeah I'm lost too. The Pro is almost twice the price of the original chip, and afaict the only difference is that it's a little smaller (and has no USB port). Huh? I've got a handful of the original CHIPs, and they're gr

This doesn't even look like I wrote it, but I thought I did and use it all the time: "What was that (private) branch I worked on a few weeks ago?" Just put this shell script in /usr/local/bin or wherever as &q

It is easy not to shoot yourself in the foot if you do not have a gun. Privacy and convenience are at two ends of a spectrum. Commerce likes to exploit this by making things more "convenient", generally at the cost of privacy. Sad

Well, yeah. Those days were still before everything that’s happened with glorifying startups. If you were going to do a startup business, there wasn’t a huge expectation that it was going to be glamorous in any particular kind of way. You

I love nixies. I have a Fluke 8100 with a nixie display; it's pretty much just my battery tester but the most beautiful (and largest) one in the world. Also built a kit clock that wasn't much more expensive than just one of this g
