God, I remember how god awful the form factor was, but it was pretty nice to be able to retrofit Wi-Fi or cellular modems to laptops without Wi-Fi built in. There was a time when built in wasn’t even an option.

Well, duh. DJI and TikTok are some of the gems of China and anything to tarnish those companies is strongly opposed by the central government.

I guess one question is, why don't you want people to have read access to the code? IMHO if they aren't trustworthy to view code, they probably aren't trustworthy to be submitting tickets (or employed in any other roles in th

That’s apples to oranges, more comparable would be a pi pico w, which is like $6, has better documentation, and is more likely to be available when you need one. I have a bunch of pine devices, but if you think raspberry pi’s are difficult

I think something you should consider is the heirarchical nature and the tight integration of business, politics and social policy in the CCP vs the US. In the US, it’s more like a loose federation of aligned interests vs a top down, integr

Being blunt, the mere fact that you can talk about that in public shows me you don’t truly understand the difference between US or European values and CCP values. You can and should have policy discussions about how the US isn’t perfect and

Tell me you don’t understand the issue, without telling me you don’t understand the issue. First off, raw data is not for sale from FAANGs, it is their most jealously guarded golden goose. Second, the entire point isn’t that you as an indiv

IMHO if someone is a privacy advocate and they aren’t cheering this on and trying to push for more regulation or control of our data, I don’t know what to say. It probably has the most likelihood of making meaningful changes to the way we a

So you don’t believe a country, who in the year 2023, systematically suppresses free speech, reporters, it’s own citizens, disregards it’s neighbors borders in violation of international norms and continually sides with Russia in its war of

Have you never used colos? They literally tick all the boxes and it would be one of the worst colos I have ever seen to not have 3x9’s.

It’s a control and communications style thing, some managers like to be able to walk over and task people, or observe peoples work. I have found these people to generally be bad managers who use this to compensate for their lack of effectiv

Ah yes, the “we didn’t log those things that you explicitly told us to log”, defense. Let’s see how it works out.

Lean on revenue, lean on paying their bills, lean on real users, lean on people doing anything but trying to keep plates spinning and very lean on empathy. Yep... Twitter has become very lean.

I think it’s 40% threat of CN invasion and 60% wise business decision. The plant was planned quite a bit before Ukraine made people realize that it could happen to Taiwan. If anything, the fact that most world leaders were so unified on som

This plant has been built at an incredible pace. I live 5 miles away and get to watch it quite frequently, really neat stuff.

Having worked professionally in security and incident response for 15+ years now, this take is not just spot on, but might be overly optimistic . I can't tell you how many large, well known companies I have worked with that either int

My wife has a 32gb Intel MBP from 2018 and regularly uses 12-16gb just browsing the internet, checking email, playing with her photos and watching TV shows. Just because the newer stuff has fast SSDs and can page/unpage memory quickly

I really wish they would stop shipping stuff with only 8gb of ram. With how memory hungry things are this day, 16gb is the least amount of ram most people will find usable. Case in point, I have Chrome, with 5 tabs open, slack, dropbox, x

Google did this with nest cameras.

Absolutely, I worked at a place where we generated unique aws tokens, pushing it out to all users/computers in the fleet and had alerting anytime one was used, which was traceable to a service, user or server. Within 1 year I found a b

The issue I had wasn’t necessarily even the time for ensuring culture fit, it was the the utter lack of tact and respect for peoples time on the rejection.

I have to say that over my 20 years of experience in engineering, I have never seen a worse candidate experience than Canonical. After spending probably 20-30 hours of interviews, tests, prep and jumping through hoops with people, getting a

It doesn’t have to, but there is a good overlap of the vent diagram of engineers who open source their work with engineers who have a passion directly related to that work. I can see both sides of the argument, some people want to just do t

When diving, I have a sense of flying/floating and when I am under it almost feels like I’m wrapped in a big fluffy blanket. When I dive, I feel like I am part of the environment, rather than just observing like you would at an aquar

Consumer devices with sufficient adoption are most definitely a national security threat. Let’s for a moment imagine Iran (instead of china) has a significant amount of the low end consumer cameras sold in the US. Imagine they push propagan

I won’t disagree that Twitter was massively bloated, but part of that is because they had so many different business areas of focus. People like to oversimplify what it does, if it was only sharing tweets and images, sure you could get by w
