Any two player game will work, tic-tac-toe, fences, checkers, tetris. I particularly enjoyed a programming competition that involved a real time tank battle, like "combat" on the atari. Any game that's grid based with a fixe

I'm late to the thread but borg or restic or any of the attic/bup/Xbackup lineage will meet your needs. I haven't tried the GUIs but you can schedule it to run with anacron once per day and it'll run when the lapto

The video's creator didn't necessarily have to violate the agreement. He could have bought it on ebay. Competitors are going to do these teardowns privately anyway. In the case of starlink, it seems like there'd be nothing

it's a shame multicast isn't universally supported on the Internet. It'd make it possible to broadcast a live video to millions or billions of people straight from a cell phone.

According to the table in the article, improvement from 2010 to 2020 was 7.5×, from 1.6TB to 12TB. The projected improvements by 2030 are 32×, so I'm a bit skeptical. It's too bad that cheaper drives can't be made with old t

Seems to work really well. For those unaware, Firefox has a built-in way to do this which will work even on sites where you need to be logged in. If you right click on the page and choose "Page Info", there's a Media tab. It

This sounds great. One idea I had to stop abuse was to force traffic from a phone to route out to the public Internet through its own base station. That would require a lot of hops, in some cases, but the traffic could short circuit throug

A total of 704 petabytes of raw space, which I think is 600 petabytes of usable space. Looks like backblaze will cross the exabyte mark very soon. They crossed 500 PB in February [1]. Yev, in case you're around, I was curious what you

Something like this would work great in an urban environment if enough apps used it. For non-urban environments the wifi range becomes a limiting factor. I'm hoping that LTE Direct becomes a thing, since it has a much higher range. K

This would be great for cross platform zero-config party games. A lot of game genres can get by with surprisingly little bandwidth. Although for a noisy environment like a party you may need to do a little mesh networking in order for eve

The average home size in the 1950s was just 953 square feet. Now it's 2500 square feet. You likely would have a single car. Your utility bill would be a lot lower (no internet, no cable, no air conditioning). You'd eat a lot o

There's a lot that can go wrong if an attacker has physical access to your device. As far as is publicly known, you're not directly vulnerable to having the password broken as long as the device is powered off when it falls into t

You're thinking of traditional large satellites in geosynchronous orbit, which is 35 km above the surface (ping time of about 250 ms). SpaceX's plan is to put 4,000 small satellites in low-earth orbit, 625 km up. That gives a pi

20gpbs is fast enough for a raw 4K video stream at 60 frames per second in ABGR format (e.g. what you'd get out of a video card). That's slick.

If you know up front that it needs to last for 50 years, and the requirements are unlikely to change, it's easy to justify the expense of getting lots of spare hardware to be able to handle component failure. That's almost certai
