I agree. Like others here I don't know the context, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but her first paragraph seems about as sincere and direct an apology as anyone could reasonably want. After that she talks abou

There was an interesting article in Quanta a while back on this topic. > Researchers have since determined that rogue waves probably claimed 22 supercarriers and more than 500 lives in the second half of the 20th century alone. https:&#

There are dozens of known CSME vulns -- there's a list on cvedetails [0] which itself seems to be missing some (e.g. 2019-0090/2019-0091). Plenty of these could be used by a sophisticated attacker with physical access, and some ca

Many of these criticisms can -- and indeed already have -- been extended to plenty of western democracies including the US. Chomsky and many others have been warning that corporate and political interests are infringing on the (increasingly

So it seems like it was caused by FF blocking HTML5 canvas fingerprinting. Enabling that allowed it all to load correctly. I guess I must've hit disallow without thinking when I first visited, and that response was saved even after cle

Stuff doesn't always completely break -- e.g. Google forcing new Chrome-only web standards on certain sites and making other browsers like Firefox resort to alternatives which can end up being 5x slower [0], or serving a more dated des

I think the points that have been raised in this thread are all quite valid. Just to add another: I wonder if Tesla's driver assistance systems has been designed to minimise false-positives in comparison with those of other manufacture

I remember using python and plenty of other programs on my TI CX CAS via ndless [0][1]. That thing was actually kinda powerful, it ran a port of gpSP far better than it should have. Nothing better than finishing a test early and being able

I'm a hobbyist, not an expert, but my impression is that many modern lens designs are heavily based on classic designs, with more corrective elements (often at least 10 total vs ~6 in many classic designs), as well as increased use of

A lot of people seem to use refurbished enterprise sff machines (optiplex micro, thinkcentre m, etc) for vms and similar, if your storage needs are more modest. I've also seen some run WD externals from them via the stock usb enclosure

Yeah you're not alone in wondering that. I was expecting more substance to this article, not just single-sentence responses to a few straw-manned arguments.

I believe you could get a similar result using Jellyfin and rffmpeg [0]. From a quick glance it seems like it should work from ARM->x86 https://github.com/joshuaboniface/rffmpeg

Yeah, this feels like a good solution for when you only occasionally need to get the remote machine to do the work, e.g. the macbook example for simple dev work. In that case it probably is more convenient. If you were relying heavily on th

I really hope you're wrong and this device achieves success, but you may well be right honestly. I suspect they'll have to charge premium prices, but that might be justifiable even considering the availability of cheap Thinkpads.

This is one of the reasons I actually really like the Surface Book keyboard [0]. It has home/end/pageup/pagedown as primary keys in the fn row, where they all fall to hand just by moving your right hand up from the home row.

I agree, but in that case why bother? In replying with such a distinction, the assumption is that you're actually responding directly to the op, not just quoting truisms.
