Code-signature enforcement, hardware attestation, and remote key revocation aren’t inherently bad things. Like almost all technologies there are cases where they can be abused, but they can also be used to massively increase security on sen

Mainstream news sources (at least the ones I follow, I'll admit a left-leaning bias there) were all shouting about how this was the inevitable conclusion of the legislation, to be countered by ministers appearing to say that no, of cou

Or I can pay YouTube for the premium tier without ads. I’m aware these things exist, but I’m also allergic to having to sysadmin things that I use to unwind after a day of sysadmining things.

They’re underpowered devices with almost no RAM, being asked to push traffic for ever faster internet connections. It’s a miracle consumer grade routers as well as they do.

I think its unfair to characterise these managers as too lazy to plan, more that previously they could often resolve things by quickly grabbing a few people and talking things over, and now that involves a game of calendar Tetris to get the

We (I squarely place myself in this group) kind of are pushing office workers to adjust how they do things though. If you've got a few remote attendees in a meeting then you're running a remote meeting, for it to be effective for

I'm not sold on this one, although I see it pretty regularly. Its got the whiff of conspiracy theory to me in that it provides a simple answer to a complex question by having two faceless entities colluding with each other for unknown

I sometimes wonder if this would be a net benefit in the long term. My hunch is that after a week or two of people being constantly arrested, and the accompanying collapse of society, there’d be a push to repeal laws that aren’t relevant an

It really doesn’t fix it, since the whole point of GTM is to allow arbitrary code execution on any page by marketing teams. (Yes, this is as bad of an idea as it sounds)

It's also built into Google Calendar, create an event across some time, then change its type to Appointment Schedule.

I don’t think it is destined for obsolescence. They were presumably installed to charge phones and other low power devices, which they will continue to do.

I don’t disagree with you on shitty UI, but I’m going to question “a treasure trove for thieves”. I just don’t believe there’s some sort of house thieve’s Union running attacks on boiler infrastructure in order to work out who’s on holiday

Currently, no, but HA will integrate with them and expose any devices to Google’s ecosystem (even if they don’t natively support that). You can also use devices with a screen as dashboards for HA.

You’re aware USB-A to USB-C cables exist right? None of your wall sockets are rendered obsolete, although admittedly you’ll need a few new cables/adapters.

For reasons I’ve never really understood the UK (or at least the UK parliament) is wildly opposed to ID cards. There’s been a few attempts to introduce them which got massive pushback and were eventually aborted. Personally I think it would

Really? I’d say “this post makes many good points”, “is comprised of” isn’t exactly in common usage these days.

Prise is used in the UK. Anyone spelling it Prize would be told to stop Americanising their spelling.

Not entirely relevant here, but Zigbee supports sending a duration to take for changes in configuration, which tends to lead to much smoother dims than brute forcing it. If applied to a group of bulbs it’ll also synchronise over the entire

Historians need both those things. The hard facts on weather data, commodity prices, and voting records say exactly what was happening, but they can't tell a historian why it happened. The reasons behind voting records are inherently e

This is absolutely the way to go in my experience. Keep related functionality together, that'll probably result in a big monolith, with maybe a few smaller services orbiting it with very specific roles, or dramatically different traffi

I've never knowingly had an AWS solutions architect recommend something because it would make AWS more money in the short term. The most frequent advice I've seen from them has been on how to give AWS less money by making use of

I get really frustrated that despite the advice to give confidence levels being all over the place I’m aware of no project planning software which incorporates that advice. It all assumes a perfect world where you can say it will take 6.5 d

This to me feels more like the classic argument for being multi-talented. There’s lots of people who can play a guitar, or write song lyrics, or sing. There’s not so many who can do all three to the required standard to make a living from i
