It doesn't, apart from some GPU acceleration for the UI. I have no idea what OP is thinking.

I use SSSS to store physical copies of the key I use to encrypt my backups with ssss http://point-at-infinity.org/ssss/ . Basically print a bunch of copies and give them to people I trust.

Probably because it's basically the same experience on Android.

Few PhDs in my field go into academia, most go on to laboratory jobs. It's a relatively small area though (nuclear engineering) and demand is fairly high for PhDs. A large portion of PhD students are working on projects jointly with na

Android was the target of the original post, this is more of a followup demonstrating that a similar attack works on Apple hardware too. https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/over-air-ex...

It doesn't come with one either, it's for servers. You can install the ubuntu-desktop package (which is basically what you get off of the desktop install disk) afterwards, though. Not really clear if that will still be option on i

Funny enough, I use the Win key on my keyboard effectively as a 'meta' for all my shortcuts in i3. It was the only key that wasn't doing anything.

The other big area Google has an advantage in is in one that really matters - the reliability of its voice recognition. I have both a Google Home and an Echo and the Google Home and the Google device's actual speech recognition is dram

If you read it, the scanner software they wrote is pretty specific to this exact skimmer. It looks for the default id of those Bluetooth modules and then sends a couple commands to see if it gets a particular response. In other words, the s

You see workstations like this in what I'd call "interactive simulation." Stuff where you're designing something complex via simulation and want to be able to rapidly evaluate changes. For example ANSYS (hybrid finite el

Yep, there's also Antinatalism, which is the belief that having children is immoral. There are a few different strains, but greatly oversimplifying my favorite is that suffering in life outweighs pleasure, so bringing a new life into e

Singer is definitively pro-abortion, for basically the reasons I mentioned. It's not terribly nuanced, it follows pretty directly from his basic ideas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Singer#Abortion.2C_eutha..

I think the point is that a fetus doesn't have the capacity to suffer before a certain point. A blastula of cells shortly after conception is not capable of feeling pain, but a fetus at 8 months likely is. OP is saying that it would be

Even for me (a full time Linux guy) Chromebooks have become very attractive since they added Android app support. I can get quite a lot done on my dinky Chromebook over ssh in Termux, without even having to bother with Crouton.

Monochrome is problematic for plots with multiple series though, because people's eyes aren't good at distinguishing shades of gray. You can use dashed lines for stuff like line plots, but those don't work well for complex tr

A heads up for these, the ATtiny is a different family than the ATmega's in the Arduino Uno. They are not 100% compatible, and if you are a beginner that can be problematic. Also the Tiny85 in particular that these modules use expose v

Plain lithium batteries (non-rechargeable) are cheaper and have higher capacity than lithium ion. Other factors are basically similar. I think the only reason to use lithium ion when you don't care about recharging is if you have a lot

Yes, but university libraries also do a whole lot more than just manage books. The library at the University I work for has computer labs, GIS labs, a makerspace, 3D printing, electronics fabrication, photography and video studios, plus a h
