We're definitely two different kinds of people. When it comes to network equipment I value control and security over that sort of convenience any day. (add.: and I don't mean "different kinds of people" in a condescendin

I use a $25 Asus "Wi-Fi repeater" which runs OpenWRT instead of their crippled firmware, allowing it be a plain Wi-Fi access point acting as a VLAN extension of my little SoHo switch. An entirely uncomplicated setup that just won&

Even if it turns out (once this event has been fully understood) that the vendor-installed firmware "phoned home" to collect an update of sorts that led to this?

I don't understand why you can't contain yourself from being condescending and patronizing by posing your own preferred reasoning against such an absurdly childish example. The same could be said about your reasoning: you haven&#x

Surely the author meant TECHNIQUE , not "technology"? Sticking to the actual topic, I'm not sure if it's really as good as the author wants to make it sound. Deadlines work great for some people, and for some they'

Have you or anyone else been able to confirm the relationship was what you imply it was, or are you advocating guilt by association?

Wow, they really got out cheap for such a heinous, manipulative crime. This could be seen as indirect encouragement.

I think these arguments are a bit contrived. bzip2 made progress on compression ratio. xz (and zstd) made progress on both compression ratio and speed. Neither hovered around the idea of cutting-edge "technology" (they all fall in

"zstd finally has some potential to replace gzip" bzip2 and xz have had the potential to replace gzip for the vast majority of users and use cases since more than a decade - and in many cases they have.

You're reading old comp-sci usenet discussions from 1993 and you come across this statement: "pkzip/lzh/arc/zoo have the advantage of being ubiquitous. We should not encourage the use of gzip". You chortle.

by daneel_w 3y ago
People had your exact sentiments, concerns and hesitations after gzip showed up in the early 90s. Eventually they moved on from pkzip/lzh/etc. to better, modern software - some on their own owed to being reasonable people, and som

Give xz and zstd a go. You'll love them.

Access/privileges to execute on the host is required. I, personally, would not feel concerned unless I was a TPM user and knew I was a specific target.

Is this accurate? Starlink has since a while back offered service in most of Sweden, but that doesn't align with this map.

In Sweden it's only a thing far up north.

I have a Sony MZ-R700, still working perfectly. I haven't made real use of it in the last 20 years, but back then it was one of my most important/used piece of "everyday tech".

No, but you might find something on YouTube.

Same marketing style played out in Sweden. Endless advertisements showing manically laughing people overcome by joy from doing video calls on flip-phones without cameras.

It's curious how telcos' incessant blabbering about 5G ended up getting so deep into people's heads that they began thinking it was something that would make every interaction on their smartphones instantaneous. 5G was never

"With only time keeping, Watchy should have a battery life of 5-7 days, while with fetching data over WiFi, it should last between 2-3 days." No thanks, that would be too vexing. Though I do see the attractive novelty of this de

The schematic shows an RTC in there, does it really need to have its timekeeping syncronized every day next to startup?! Or it's just something you do to cover for eventualities?

This isn't a PBKDF2 problem. It's a password problem with roots in practicality and psychology. His password has absolutely not been 20 random characters, but instead something easy to remember and type in, quite likely just 3 or

In some cases you can get away with simple solutions like just printing the BEL character a few times: make install; printf \\a\\a\\a

They cost a fair share, and Commodore didn't really keep the required momentum after the A1000/500/2000, but most advanced computers of their time cost a bit of money. It's hard to say they didn't make a sizable den
