Hmmm. I have one of these drives sitting on my desk. Hasn't been powered up for weeks. Do I disassemble it, take the drive out and grab the data that way or just wait? What are these things formatted as? Schrödinger storage: data is bo

You could try consequences. Some variation of the following might work. Your diet fallback position now consists of chicken and broccoli and one meal per day. No sauces no famcy drinks, no coffee. You must walk the equivalent of 15000 steps

TSMC are a critical piece of the world's infrastructure. The fact that car makers are grinding to a slowdown and for particular assemblies, a complete halt, is very telling. The automakers themselves now fully appreciate just how criti

It's a form of nostalgia mixed with updated capability. You had a device as a kid but couldn't make what you wanted. Now many years later you actually can. So you do. It's a do-over in some ways. Also, modern platforms requir

I'd go to a different doctor. Antibiotics always require a reason involving something bacterial. There is no "try". Example case in point: antibiotics can mess up a healthy person and induce stomach issues.

Personally I think it had more to do with corruption than anything. The CIA was happy to profit off it. The anti-drug people loved it, particularly those who were against cannabis. anyone who hated hippies. Anyone working against the antiwa

A sharp blade is a lesson in itself. Apologies to Pratchett who probably said it better. Like a lot of other things.

So these vulns weren't needed any more by some 3 letter agency? Or were they being used by someone a 3 letter agency didn't like? Or were about to be? Security warfare is fascinating to watch from the mud huts.

This is probably a reminder to throw some money at EFF to at least pay for their coffee if not their larger work. This is the kind of silly but serious case they've dealt with in the past.

Two horses?! I can't tell if you're joking. I sincerely hope this is true. I'm imagining a sad Texas cowboy riding off into the sunset with just his two favorite mounts. "At least they didn't take mah horse!"

Many gadgets don't even work with themselves. Lets say you configure some IoT thing using its app. How do you export that config for later, perhaps onto multiple other similar devices? Often times you can't.

The topic is in violation of policies? For being offtopic? Or for advertising? I hate it when I'm left to guess the reasoning for administrative actions. It causes me to assume "just because we say so". I'm an op for mul

I get the remote work as "get out of the house" thing. Changing your workspace away from home changes your frame of mind. It can be a discipline thing. You start work at x and finish at y, theres a place to do it, you go there and
