I feel like the design guidelines were fundamentally flawed, and as a logical result none of the design proposals are better than what we already have. The whole "some person's face" thing doesn't work because most peo

But "just recompute the FCS" isn't quite the right approach, is it? With a traditional cut-through switch the entire packet is passed as-is, so you're not modifying a corrupt package. You don't drop it, but the co

Sure, but at that point you're just building a complicated hub, and trying to actually operate it at speed would result in most packages getting dropped due to collisions as it is pretending to be full-duplex while actually only being

Sounds like the Settings panel is a CVE, we should immediately get rid of it. And don't forget the Play Store!

It seems to require the user to: 1. Enable Developer Mode by going to an obscure settings page and tapping the build number seven times 2. Enable USB ADB debugging in the Developer Options 3. Establish an actual USB ADB session 4. Enable TC

Landlords and HoAs have been doing this for ages , it has just mostly impacted less well-off people until now. Want to do some nails as a side hustle, sell homemade goods via the internet, or make extra cash repairing people's cars in

Why would well-off people not go for rooftop solar?

Why would they end up in a landfill? You can also set them up inside your garden if you end up in a regular house, or mount them to the outside wall, or sell them to the next renter of your old apartment, or sell them on eBay, or... The pan

You know who should be terrified by that rate? Us. China's one-child policy is finally starting to hit, and its population is actively shrinking . At the moment China is not in a crisis yet, as its GDP is still growing quite well - so

China is only getting stronger. They have captured basically the entire electronics industry - except a handful of cutting-edge chips. They have captured the solar panel industry. They are significantly outperforming the traditional brand

Are we even sure they still work? The last test was 34 years ago, after all. For all we know some crafty contractors or NCOs have been making very good money off of selling "spare" parts - just like we saw when Russia first tr

So how come Disney still gets upset when I provide copies of their movies on my website as "training set for biological neural networks"? The problem isn't that IP is dying - in most industries it died ages ago. The problem i

How do we verify that you are you? It can't be linked to fingerprints, iris scans, or DNA, as those are trivially leaked, impossible to change, and a privacy nightmare. Until we find a way to securely implant a Yubikey in people's

Easy: it's the token on your physical keyring, right next to your house key and car key.

Yeah, but it's an order-of-magnitude more complicated. It's no longer "click a link and fill in your creds on a legit-looking website", it turns into "hack someone's email, request a password reset, wait the ma

Exactly. Bitwarden, not the Apple/Google/Microsoft keychain. That's the problem.

The original U2F tokens didn't suffer from this problem that much. It contained one secret, it relied on the website to store and return an opaque website-and-account-specific blob, which was decrypted by the token and used to sign

I don't even care about the tuner part. If I ever get the desire to watch linear TV again, I'll just get an IPTV subscription. A decent-ish TV-sized panel with at least a single HDMI input really is all I need.

That can also be trivially done without a biometrics database: just collect and compare when they become a suspect!

Still a few orders-of-magnitude off, though. Hobbyist electronics manufacturing has always been reasonably affordable, with the old perfboard / stripboard from RadioShack having been a staple of the hobby since forever. At-home etchi
