IIRC, the problem was that rollbacks couldn’t start until it agreed that the service deployment had failed, which wouldn’t happen until I manually drained the task (or waited an unknown period for CF to timeout). You could click the rollbac

Something funny (well, kind of sad) about CloudFormation I noticed this summer was that if you deploy a CloudFormation stack which updates a ECS service and deploys tasks which then fail health checks, CloudFormation will do nothing about t

What do you know the best? You shouldn’t pick a starter kit where there’s lots of magic going on because it’s the first or second time you’ve seen the language. That makes it way harder to extend well.

And Microsoft could ask the OEMs to push a UEFI update that enforces secure boot with only the Windows keys. I don’t think they will though.

I don't really understand why they stiffed him (the only thing I can think of is that he's the core maintainer of Sonarr which might make him legally radioactive, but you should tell him), but what I don't understand is why t

For your father, maybe a Chromebook wouldn’t be a bad idea? They’re easy if you’re coming from Windows.

Not that your IT department will be letting you update today, but something to look forward to is that Teams in Windows 11 uses the shared Edge WebView runtime (replacing Electron), which means it takes around 50% of the RAM it did in Windo

Isn’t the answer here if you can’t get someone with keys in a reasonable amount of time to break a window? Most doors have windows adjacent to them, and the company can just call the security people and tell them it’s part of DR.

It's worth noting that the reason this took so long is that VMWare ported their in-house hypervisor instead of using Apple's Hypervisor.framework (or it's higher level counterpart Virtualization.framework). I wonder if that m

Berkshire has different classes of share so that people could invest at something lower than $250k+ a share (Buffett didn't want to split the stock).

There was too much engineering work put in to make the M1 be still secure by default while allowing you to run other OSes. If Apple wanted to make it so you could only run signed kernels then the best time to make that breaking change would

Isn’t half the point of buying one of these smart assistant cans to have the same thing everywhere so that they all hit the same service? I don’t want to come home and spend hours a week negotiating between Alexa, Google and Siri. (I suppos

Only tangentially related, but POSIX certification doesn’t require that you don’t have extensions, at least I don’t think so. I could’ve sworn macOS supported long options on its BSD coreutils.

They’ve been prompting the user on new installs to set their preferences and themes, it’ll probably get rolled into that.

They wrote a bunch of them (StyleCop among others) for C#. And Intellisense which relies on being able to analyze code all kinds of ways. I find it hard to believe they didn't.

The old BlackBerrys didn’t even do a full OS startup unless you did a battery pull, I think the “clean” shutdown just hibernated it at best.

I think RHEL requires minor version->minor version compatibility unless they can't avoid it for security reasons (since that's a big reason of why people pay for it).

They said that two OS versions ago, pre-Blast Door and the other improvements Apple made (not that those helped against Pegasus, of course). Have they started buying iOS exploits again?

I doubt that they are actually using MAC filtering, but probably some kind of captive portal that the Remarkable doesn't have support for (without setting up a SOCKS proxy, which doesn't count as a solution, IMO)[0]. Most of these

I seem to recall hearing somewhere on HN that some ISPs even turn CGNAT on for IPv6 connections (in fact, I'm pretty sure AT&T's LTE has it). I have no idea why, other than people being so used to packets not routing to their

If I'm not mistaken, this is how Best Buy does their price tags now. They have eInk (or, eInk looking) displays on the end of racks that can be changed out with power but otherwise seem to work quite well.

Why don't they keep Chromium up to date like they do with Firefox? Ubuntu (to my knowledge) exempts browsers from their LTS policy because of security fixes being bundled with feature updates.

Is the Go EOL? I’m curious if they’ll do the same thing for the Quest 1 or if we’ll have to wait a few years.
