TBH Most open source stuff actually is poorly engineered, if engineered at all, because a lot of it is developed by beginner-level coders. Now, I do of course know that many, many commercial products are full of crap, too ... but engine

These are fairly standard in larger building complexes in Germany. We call them Feuerwehrschlüsseldepot (key depot for the fire dept.); they're very well secured, both physically and organizationally.

Silver-plated contacts are fairly widespread in use, e.g. better XLR connectors, some Fastons, Hartings etc. use them. They are unproblematic with contact designs that scrape the natural oxide layer off. Mixing platings may prevent this mec

COM works remarkably well (and a ton of system APIs simply doesn't exist as a C API). It probably only gets bashed because some people conflate it with DCOM and it's security issues.

That's called project management fwiw.

Nothing out of the ordinary with a new platform. While Linux often takes longer to work this stuff out, Windows often has had similar issues in the past as well.

For desktop hardware with mid-range GPUs liquid cooling doesn't really make sense. Good air coolers and airflow which is not "in your face" bad will already be inaudible at 1m.

I considered blades but at least for me I concluded they were a bad fit: - The centers are large and heavy, needs a fair amount of space, can't really be handled alone. Also means they're shipped on a pallet, which is somewhat exp

Fully agreed, but often these can be solved by reviewing the overall (business) problem. E.g. maybe it's hard / not worth it to process a file in parallel, but maybe the most frequent use case needs to process more than one file a

I admit I don't have a big problem with parallel coding often being considered something for experts/consultants/wizards. Keeps the prices up :)

Proper cases can be hard to come up with (new they are rather expensive), e.g. I can't do anything with a 85 cm deep pizza box in my rack (because that pizza box is like 15 cm longer than the whole thing), so I needed a bit more specia

The issue is not the "idle >0%" processes, it's about compiling, indexing, searching etc. code which is often CPU-bound (because everything is in the page cache).

You claimed that Hochdeutsch is not spoken at home, which is just not true at all. I don't think that needed more than a couple bytes in refutation.

NAT is not a firewall. It's not intended to protect, and usually it doesn't. There are many ways to circumvent it...

I doubt that. Security issues of vendors only become problematic if they make bad press for companies using it — or become a compliance issue. Things can move so fast in a bureaucracy if there is a compliance issue, it's really astound

^- While cheap toy SoCs like those found in SBCs do (all?) have NEON, which includes hardware acceleration for SHA1/2 and AES, don't assume good performance. A x86 desktop core is faster in software than those SoCs with hardware.

Most/all software implementations of AES had various side channels in the past. Considering AES-GCM, as far as I'm aware no software implementation is considered "safe". Some libraries do not support AES-GCM without hard

OEMs are not involved at all with ME afaik, it's exculusively controlled by Intel.
