Makes me glad that I moved the last of my devices off of Wink about two weeks ago. Makes it easy for me to unplug it. I am considering throwing it in the trash, but maybe someone has a way to repurpose it.

That is only free for 12 months though. Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud offer one free VM in their "always free" offering. Personally I use a $5/month Digital Ocean box.

Seems kind of cool. I saw a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QU1EjQ48H0 Basic idea is that you setup your USB flash drive with Ventoy. At that point you can copy multiple ISO images onto the flash drive. The

I can't help but think "so what" if they are list prices. That is how we should compare them is by list prices. If AWS, GCP, and others don't want to have their pricing appear to be exorbitant then they should adjust the

I had zero issues with uBlock Origin on the Tom's Hardware site. I do also use Privacy Badger, though I doubt that would make it more likely to work. One thing I have started doing is running NoScript but by default I allow scripts. Bu

True on cultural norms. Myself I have found myself being rude and when I answer the door, I point at the "No Soliciting" sign directly below the door bell and keep repeating "No Thank You" until they leave or I decide to

As someone who is interested in transferring money I will admit that I find InteractiveBrokers website confusing. I don't understand how it works. Let's say I want to buy Russian Rubles with US Dollars. How does that work? How do

Yep. In the US, eggs in the refrigerator should be good for 4-5 weeks after the listed expiration date on the package.

Am I the only one who would prefer the term "physical distancing". Social distancing seems open for confusion by people. Since when they say "social distancing" it seems to mean stay physically distant from each other.

We have returned food. Sometimes it has been stuff which we didn't like the taste of or produce which has gone bad very quickly. We don't do it often but it happens. Never had any issues in returning it.

Leaving the car was probably not a good idea. The ones who left the car were lucky to be found alive. I still remember this story where the husband left the car to find help. https://www.oregonlive.com/oregonianextra/20

I'm used to using a Continuous Integration (CI) system which doesn't allow code to be merged unless it builds and tests pass. This does not allow for super fast merging as builds take time and testing takes time. But it prevents b

Somewhat related. U2F, which Yubikey supports does help prevent against DNS spoofing. A DNS name which looks very similar but is not the true DNS name of the site you want to connect to. Something that a human might not notice or get confus

They mentioned having a handful of Yubikeys. The nice thing about U2F is that many providers support having multiple U2F tokens. For example Google, Github, and Gitlab do. Though others do not, for example AWS (last time I checked). So you

For the situation in the article it would not have changed anything. As the fake domains were just adding an 's' to the end of the domain. Also I'm not sure what effect that will have for Chinese users. It might make many of
