I use Namecheap and I generally like them. However I was having a repeat issue for several months using them for DNS with DNSSEC enabled. Basically, validation would fail because they'd let their records expire and "forget" t

FreedomPop sells AT&T SIMs. The phones they sell are for Sprint. I have accounts on both. I use the free AT&T SIM in my car and get 1GB free/month, which is more than sufficient for my Google Maps/Earth and directions usag

The Linux kernel does the same thing. Run htop and run a single threaded workload. You'll see it migrate around between all the cores.

The problem is even if you have an Gsuite account added to your phone, it disables a lot of things. For example, I have my university Google account added to my phone. That automatically disables keyboard backup and sync to my personal acco

Had a similar issue with a PowerMac G5. It was the liquid cooled variant, top specced version, paid around $3500 for it in 2004. Just after the 2 year mark, the o-ring failed and leaked coolant onto the logic board, obviously frying it. It

The Audi navigation works well sometimes, and I really like the integration into the car (using the most up to date maps, they give free map updates for 3 years). However, the routes are not the most efficient, and although it supposedly us

This is a pretty annoying move for anyone who has their own CA they use to sign internal domains. I wonder if they will also have Chrome not trust them...

This is exactly why I won't buy anything except Nexus phones now. The updates are completely independent from the carrier (well, carriers can withhold OTA updates, but you can always flash the current system image from Google).

Privoxy is awesome. I was using it for a while in place of AdBlock because of the memory issues associated with the Chrome AdBlock extension (Gmail would regularly and quickly balloon to 1-1.5GB of memory usage). I recently moved over to µB

I had a raspberry pi on my network via ethernet and saw it had accumulated a ton of IPv6 addresses. Ended up just disabling privacy extensions on it. If your machines reset their network connection (ie wireless reconnects) then they'll

That's the premise behind Whonix ( https://www.whonix.org ). It adds a little overhead running 2 VMs, but it's worth the extra 256MB of memory for the piece of mind.

All the federal government would have to do is threaten to cut all federal funding and subsidies to the state. An example would be funding for interstates, but there are many many more. I can't remember when exactly, but I'm prett

I complete agree. More and more items are showing up as Add-on Items, even things that didn't used to be (at the same price too). At least give me the option to explicitly pay for the shipping.

Hmm, interesting. Android by default notifies apps that it's on a limited data connection, and they restrict background updates and such. For example, I can install apps from the Play Store on cellular, but they won't auto-update

It also works on any 3G tablet that supports T-mobile's frequencies. I successfully activated a SIM on my 2012 Nexus 7 (no LTE) and got the 200MB free per month. I'm not a current T-mobile customer. I was using AT&T prepaid fo

Really? I plug mine into ethernet whenever I can. Even on 5Ghz the unpredictable latency can really impact things, particularly NFS. For example, rsnapshot backups that take 10 minutes on ethernet take upwards of 5 or 6 hours on wifi. It&#x

Yeah our school basically had one big LAN (everything got a publicly routable IPv4 address, but nothing within the university was firewalled from anything else). There were networked printers though in the computer labs, some of these labs
