Thank you for pointing it out. FWIW, the "workspace collusion" one is actually real - original source: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?rtc=1&...

I was comparing to peak, not specifically a year ago, my bad. Most of my savings are in index funds, specifically FNCMX and FFIDX. I know in very real terms the value of my savings is down 23.57% compared with November 23rd 2021.

This always seems confusing to me. How are we not already in a recession? What specifically must happen to officially declare a recession? My savings (including 401k) have gone down 24% since a year ago. Dinner at a restaurant / UberEa

I wish there was a simple equivalent for phone numbers. Even if I had to pay <$1 / month per unique phone number it would still be worth it. Too many services now need a phone number "for my security". I use my Google Voic

The pictures inside your case give me anxiety for some weird reason. That's the cleanest* inside of a PC I've seen in my life, almost artificial looking; are you building in a clean room? *Clean in terms of dust, not cable managem

We need a crowd-sourced solution for documenting and keeping up with Microsoft's bullshit. After every "cumulative update" I fire up WireShark and find new connections popping up from unexpected places. It's too much of

It starts interestingly enough talking about optical (which is proven possible though horrendously inefficient), but then goes into snake oil territory talking about charging mobile phones at a distance. I'm not an expert, so here&#x27

I was overseas and my provider (Cricket) doesn't have roaming so I usually pick up a cheap prepaid SIM locally. I didn't enable 2FA on Uber but it insisted on sending me a code via SMS (of course, to my inaccessible US number). Th

The idea is very interesting, I wish this (and its successor) wasn't dead :( I want to get into iOS for personal projects but don't want to touch macOS / xcode with a ten foot pole. Having JavaScript support as well would be

This comes included in Debian (and a bunch of other distros as well). I'm using it on a few home servers. I wish it had integrated support for containers (Docker, Podman); don't need anything fancy, but I have to set up Portainer

$45 / month for power seems excessive. I have a home server where I selfhost a bunch of services and am using an 1080Ti GPU on it to mine Ethereum (65% or 125W) and it's costing me $18 / month in electricity to run 24/7

I like the Sandbox app / feature built into Win10/11 (very fast to boot). I wish it'd allow saving snapshots and being automated. I want to set one up with a full dev environment for example. Full HyperV VMs are significantly

No they didn't. I talked with friends at Microsoft; what they did is increase the "merit" budget by up to double, and increase stock ranges by about 25%. Merit is their annual increase in base pay, which is usually 2% - 4%, s

Hey, that's an idea... we know who the sponsors for this are in the European Commission; maybe Anon or someone could take a stab at uploading something special to their devices.

Technically, V8 by itself is not "secure" RE remote code execution. It's secure in terms of memory safety, and keeping isolates out of each-other's memory space, but the actual "security" you think the engine p

Oh, I thought this was going to talk about low.js ( https://github.com/neonious/lowjs ), the "node.js" runtime for micro-controllers and tiny embedded systems.

When I got a new PC last year I tried to sell my old one but couldn't find any buyers for a reasonable price, so I just made it my "home server" (much better than the Pi I had running before). It has a 1080Ti GPU so I'm

It's time to update this kind of guides with at least 2.5GbE networking. I suspect most FTTH ISPs will start defaulting to 2 or even 5 Gbps soon (mine already offers theses speeds in PNW, but at premium costs). There's very few co
