IIRC in the Maersk NotPetya disaster they had to look worldwide for a domain controller in Africa that happened to be off at the time, but fix and patch it before bringing it online. Restoring from backups would leave you vulnerable if a wo

I haven't kept up lately but his talk with Sweet Anita showed me how little I understood about Tourette's based on popular media. Some of his streams have been very educational for me.

Yes it works fine on the same OS, there's a backup/restore option. Swapping between the two vendors isn't supported. I think the excuse is encryption keys however it's not insurmountable if they want to make it work (som

Would be nice if while they're at it they let us migrate our message history between iOS/Android properly. The paid 3rd party solution I used didn't work, by the time I was done messing with it I'd already been using Wha

What would this look like? Consumer grade tape devices? I've actually had a lot of external HDDs die compared to internal ones so I'm wary of using those. My wife has a bunch of photos/videos for a small business and I have t

I don't really know how these things work but it was quite crisp while my outgoing was very choppy so I hung up the mic and resorted to typing. I was assuming a lot of packet loss and it was rebuilding a little behind the times, the ne

Speaking of Apple, it is more than a little frustrating that if I start driving with Google Maps, and I realise it's too quiet, the volume control changes the Ringer instead of the media volume unless I time it to be while she is speak

We had network issues the other day and a few minutes into the meeting we realised my audio stream was delayed by a whole minute. There was no indication on the Teams UI this was happening. I'd hear a question about a window I'd a

I get something like this even from a relatively light exercise (~40 minutes of pilates reformer). If I do it after 6pm my body feels very hot and I have trouble sleeping even 5-6 hours later.

Depending on the game, cheats can be a packet sniffing proxy. It won't even be on the gaming device.

There's also trolling. myg0t cheated brazenly simply to piss people off and get a reaction. I never saw the point but clearly some people enjoy this.

Watch a repair video, there are those who can solder new chips on. The problem is when Apple bans their suppliers from selling them to individuals or hardware locks components based on ID. These are artificial roadblocks and part of what r2

Sure, but banks have vaults. There's a continuum on what is reasonable against known risks. No one would accept a bank saying not to victim blame if they had no security. We know they are targets. Unfortunately, enforcement online is a

In my first aid course in Australia the teacher told us we are not allowed to be taught wound packing and that if anyone asks we didn't learn it - before telling us about it. He'd been in the military where it might see some use a

I made the switch 3 months ago and went from my laces coming undone around once per km or two to once in 3 months, and that was on purpose to tighten it like you say. I wish they'd taught me this in kindergarten! A lifetime of potentia

Maybe we need new words? Someone had to invent the word "fascism" once upon a time too. The problem with using established words that almost fit is that people quibble over semantics.

Even if you burn the heck out of it, it has little direct risk if you're not a bird. I think the worst recorded case had someone fall asleep, burn the pan down to the base metal, and fill his apartment with smoke. All he got were some

I prefer reading too. The main reason is I get distracted easily but music distracts that part of my brain a little so I can focus. I can't do that with videos. And like you, things stick when I see them written down in a way that they

A2 milk is (was?) very popular in China, people bought it and shipped it back home so much that some stores had to implement quotas here in Aus. It supposedly has the same amount of lactose but fewer symptoms of intolerance.

So the mechanism is normal but there is just more energy being pumped into the system lately? That sounds crazy to me given the latitude but the geography explanation makes sense. The article said it's like a giant Death Valley. My und

I think it is a filtering problem. Back then game companies would advertise on the manual. Local ads got posted. You heard about something and picked up a phone. In the online world, job ads are not hard to find. People apply to them en mas

This seems like a restatement of the argument that if we just code enough 'if..then..else' statements, we'd get a well-behaved general AI. That approach hasn't worked, and complicating rules and procedures to cover all e

DMCA doesn't protect someone who makes money directly from the content. Let the lawyers decide what that means, but I guess it could cover advertising and subscriptions if you prove there's a big chunk of copyrighted content. Henc

So if I release a book as a small time author, and it is recognised as being good but doesn't do too well commercially, a major publisher with distribution and marketing reach can just republish it a year later when copyright lapses? I
