You know, I'm actually looking forward to the day that we can break existing cryptography. There's a lot of devices that are consumer unfriendly due to their security. Most famously, video game consoles. If we could break their se

Does Backblaze support Linux yet? I have store almost all of my data on a NAS, and it would be great to have that automatically backed up online, but the last time I looked into it they only supported Mac/Windows. I assume the reason f

I think it's more about the attitude of not being prepared. Someone who is prepared will go to bed early enough to allow them to show up on time without being exhausted.

I totally agree. I would 100% resubscribe if it had an option for once every 3 months. I like it as a rare treat, I just wouldn't want it twice a month. I subscribed on two different occasions, but only for one month at a time. I'

I would assume since they're violating the GPL that there is no source, and that's the issue.

This doesn't really surprise me. It's a bit like sitting on a tour bus I bet. Most of the interesting things are in the front and to the sides, so almost no one will be turning around, or looking up. This doesn't mean the ful

Just another example of modern video game consoles being exploited through an outdated Webkit browser version. I suspect that this will be the last generation of consoles that will include a browser built in. I suspect no one is using these

Because that's not really the reason behind the change, it's just a convenient argument to use.

I believe the reasoning is that if I accidentally published a public page and didn't realize it but later fixed the problem, I'd like to make sure no one else could see it later. It's probably easier than dealing with all kin

That is certainly a lot of leaps you're taking there. There's no evidence to suggest any of those things you've implied.

The Wii Classic Controller is most certainly wired, just it's wired to the wireless Wii Remote. You may be thinking of the Wii U Pro Controller which is fully wireless.

If we're counting ported games, I might count Donkey Kong on the NES as their first attempt, though I'm sure someone can find an earlier example.

I distinctly remember being 17 years old and being fascinated watching these videos on YouTube. It was really one of the first things to get me interested in logging into YouTube actively as opposed to simply being linked to the site from e

I'm also curious about using it with Cinnamon. Cinnamon to me brings the best of Gnome 3, without the interface I've come to dislike.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had close to zero impact. As much as people like to talk about Amsterdam's legal marijuana laws, I'm skeptical many people visited that country only because of that. Marijuana isn't exactly

This is a good lesson to learn, even for the rest of us. A few extra minutes making sure your work looks professional can be the difference between $80 Million and $1 Billion.

Awesome write up, but one thing I'm wondering, since I don't play FIFA, does the game heavily weight victory in favor of the player? I have to imagine the game would do that in order to make players happy, and if they do it would

I agree, but I hadn't seen his name attached to the PS4 work, so I just kind of assumed he wasn't an active member of the team in the last little while.

It says natural causes, so I feel that's enough to remove fears of anything self inflicted. On another note, I'm saddened to hear about this. I was actually just thinking about him specifically and wondering what he was up to sinc

This is specifically a port of MAME4ALL-pi[1] which I'm guessing is because it's been specifically optimized for somewhat under powered ARM devices. [1] https://github.com/RetroPie/mame4all-pi

That's not an answer. There are too many reasons someone would need to post within 24 hours of creating an account. For example, someone creates a blog post that gets posted to HN by someone else and they enter the comments to answer

Could you cite your source of the "cites Amazon in press release" please? I've found this press release [1] and it doesn't mention Amazon at all. [1] http://news.walmart.com/news-archive/2016/01

I wish there was some way of knowing that the title of the link was before someone decided to change it. Too many times on HN I come across an article and the comments are all talking about something the headline said before it was changed,

I can confirm it from a different perspective. I'm in Canada, and use VPN's to get Netflix shows from the US/UK depending on what I want to watch, and where it's located.
