Much simpler than sourcing and jury rigging some components into a usb interface. You’d need to set up some scripting for that anyway.

I haven’t read the spec, but I believe that some backwards compatibility is built in, and there’s a degree of complexity involved in making a robust framework that isn’t general purpose (like Wifi), but instead offers compartmentalisation o

Why over complicate it with electronics? It’s a computer. Just have your device shutdown when it can no longer poll another device. For example, if the router or some other network device isn’t contactable for longer than two minutes, it mi

I’d love to see more e-ink projects, and better yet, some solid thoughts as to the future of window mangers for such platforms.

Don’t forget that signing is primarily a legal activity. Every jurisdiction handle it differently, and it’s important to be able to articulate what your product can and can’t do. This was particularly relevant during the dark days of COVID

Storage is cheaper and faster than ever. How does this metadata affect you? You make it sound as if they’re *exploiting* your very important disk space for their own malicious purposes. This content is there to store things like folder view

Sure they’re 5-10 years behind, but I wouldn’t underestimate Apple’s ability to create a thriving ecosystem. Any Garmin app developers worth their salt should be scrambling to port their existing apps to the Apple Watch platform. It’s curre

Advanced Search in Acrobat allows you to define a directory. It’s the only reason I ever have it installed.

I’ve been looking for an alternative to Acrobat’s ‘Advanced Search’ capability, which allows you to define a search directory (like NP++). This feature is possible with pdfgrep and other tools, but the killer for me is that it displays resu

Here’s one that sold on eBay earlier in the month for $65 USD, with seemingly competitive bidding. Not a bad price, but the one in the article would fetch a much higher price, considering the state and completeness of its packaging.

The NUC Extreme line is basically that, which IMO is a really good form factor. Memory and nvme storage are dense enough to make anything larger obsolete for the practical needs of most users. Emphasis on ‘practical’, not strictly ‘affordab

CYA by making sure you’re not making the same mistakes. Don’t try to be clever by exposing them. Tell your clients that you apply best (/better) practice.

Agreed. The financial aspect doesn’t bother me as it is very likely that action can be taken to prevent future misuse, and reparations can be made for past abuse. Drivers seem to be hit with a PII breach though, and I’d have concerns if pic

Honest to god this isn’t a snark response, but Wikipedia is a great layman’s resource. Comment sections in Reddit and HN also come up with some fund factoids also, and sometimes link to legitimate resources. And yes, it’s 2022 and I’m compl

I recall watching a YouTube video a little while back that went into the modern history of light aircraft engines, and how there have been several failed attempts at redesigning existing technology over the past 20 (40?) years. Is it genuin

Surely there are trivial ways for them to detect when a name changes drastically (ie. not just the surname), or when the biometric features of the new profile photo don’t match the old one? They could even extend their biometric capabilitie
