The Windows Defender firewall is pretty sophisticated. I can't imagine what functionality you'd need from a local firewall that it doesn't offer.

I find emulators to be one of the most impressive feats of software engineering out there.

More likely just a friend calling in a favor, I would think. They didn't fire him on the spot, they asked him to delete the tweets first. That's what they really wanted.

I have had bad cables degrade from 1000 to 100, and one time had to force a shoddy (and very temporary) connection to 10 for it to work at all. So there is definitely a use for it.

Wow, I've been doing CSS for a very long time, and had no idea about repeating the selector to increase specificity. That'll come in very handy, thank you!

That's what browser extensions like Super Agent are good for. And the fact that we need a browser extension to deal with such incredibly annoying and intrusive "functionality" that is required by law is just insane.

Officially, yes. But here's the NFL scores API, for example: http://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/nfl/sc... It's a "private" API for their website, but like

ESPN has a surprisingly comprehensive JSON API that isn't locked down. If you're only using it for a hobby app, you won't run into any issues. It's been around for quite a while.

That's a ridiculous statement. Of course it's something to patch.

Exactly. It's ridiculous to jump to the assumption that judges are being paid off when they correctly interpreted the law as written. The law needs to be changed, of course. But that's not up to the judges.

> If the grid is very slightly over 50hz it means demand exceeds supply and vice versa. Not to be too pedantic, but it's actually the opposite. Frequency drops as demand goes up, which requires more supply to compensate. This is bec

It's probably more about cost savings than anything else. Why add a USB port and the associated functionality required to do manual updates when it's got a fantastic remote update capability?

I agree with you. But it's just the oven, so the risk is just wasting some gas and heating my house up a little until I notice. The cooktop burners can't be operated remotely, so there's no risk of unintended open flames. Als

My oven is Internet connected. It can't be turned on remotely unless I press a button on the oven itself, and even then it'll only allow it once. The WiFi functionality is also such total garbage that it'll only stay connecte

The steam ovens probably use a different WiFi chipset. What a colossal mess up.

I don't consider this a reflection on Azure at all. It's really just a reflection on GitHub under Microsoft's leadership.

I highly doubt any carrier would offer this, especially with the current adoption being where it's at. You'd be better off using your phone's capabilities to restrict calls to only your contacts.

by jaywalk 5y ago
The problem is that carriers (especially smaller ones) have been dragging their feet on implementing it, and nobody can use it to actually block calls until essentially everybody supports it and is interoperating. Until then, phones will ju

> Amazon has been doing business with small business and has never taken advantage of them. Oh, wow. I think the countless small businesses that have been essentially forced out by AmazonBasics would disagree with you.
