I guess technically they don't need to use wifi, could just have a hidden microwave chip in it and use a non-wifi detection sysatem. Great. Now super paranoid lol.

IIRC, the passive copper SFP Direct Attach cables are basically just a fancy "crossover cable" (for those old enough to remember those days). Essentially there is no medium conversion.

There should be a common text system to send messages to your coworkers. It would be great if it worked universally across the Internet. Someone needs to invent some form of electronic mail.

Silicon Valley has a problem with one word: consent. What stinks is the original concept: keeping up with disperate friends, its pretty awesome. I enjoy seeing my friends' kids grow up even though I don't really know them.

Honestly switched to systemd isolation features (chroot, ro/rw mounts, etc) and never looked back.

Precisely, I expect their profits to expand, I was strictly speaking of the claim in the title. No doubt they will continue to expand on their current strategies.

No it wont lol. It'll just make: 1. The existing codebase worse 2. The existing employees work more 3. The salaries stay flat

OAuth/APIs were a beautiful thing until the marketing departments figured out they could use it to spam even more people.

>Last-minute deals cost taxpayers $175M anyway I feel a little different about state-level taxes instead of federal taxes, but someday our civilization has to move beyond taxes (involuntary surrender).

My take: We're talking a few grams difference on a phone/watch. If it were a laptop, it might actually make a difference, but they don't get beat around like a watch or phone does. Titanium is basically as hard as al dente pa

DNS over HTTPS exclusively exists because stuff like Pi-hole started eating into Ad Revenue for Google. That's why this "feature" is so hard to disable in the browsers as well. I hope they're forced to divest from Andr

Unpopular opinion: I don't like wind farms ruining natural landscapes. They pollute natural beauty and put industrial infrastructure where it would have never been otherwise. I'm 100% onboard with alternative energy as it's e

Of the countless pro's for Dependency Injection, it allows for near perfect test isolation, among many other benefits. Test the code under test, mock the rest. Not not mention limitless composition instead of inheritance. The real con
