As a new customer of Fastmail, that was the exact reason I went to you. I like that Fastmail cares about my privacy and doesn't track me, fully supports open standards, interoperates with other services seamlessly (so I can decide what

I agree they do that in many ways, but the pervasive issue of counterfeits on Amazon greatly erodes my trust of buying from Amazon, and has made me buy a lot of things off Amazon, even if it's a higher cost.

Hello! I am curious about a couple of things: Assuming you use Intel chips, how do you manage to trust the firmware/ME from them? Do you write your own BIOS to ensure that it is safe? Or do you use ARM/PowerPC/other ISA and h

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, they may have started with crowd supply so they didn't have to worry about certain things (credit card, shipping) that crwod supply took care of, but took a portion of the proceeds. Now that they h

Seeing this and some of the other people who get spam calls (I get them too from time to time), I am wondering if they allow this legally, why not do something to make the effort of it not worth it? https://www.reddit.com/r&

Seeing this reminded me of something that happened a few weeks ago. I went to a conference where someone very high up in Intel came out to give a presentation what they were doing for security. A few things stuck out to me: - They said they

The immediate predecessor to the Netgate SG-2220 ( I forget the Model, but it was based off of the the PC Engines apu1d [1]) does not support AES-NI. It has the AMD G series T40E, which is based off of the Bobcat architecture [2] [3]). I us

It's awesome to see there is still development! I am a long time rockbox user. If I may ask, what can I do to help, and what DAPs would you recommend?

They had it when I was getting it, that's interesting. I also used a site called iStockNow, they seemed to be able to scrap from a few websites and tell me who has it in stock. I hope that helps!

The past two weeks I was trying to buy a Nintendo Switch. I ended up getting it from Target for a similar reason; I was able to go on their online shop and see which Target was carrying it. Wal-Mart only had scalpers trying to get people to

Personally, I think the big appeal of trivia nights is very much the same reason for the resurgence of board games, it's an in person social thing to do. I can go out with some friends, have fun, and I have met some other people and ma

I understand why you could have that mentality though, you can't be blamed for it. I hope sometime you would be able to visit the USA with that knowledge and get a better experience!

I agree, and it wouldn't surprise to hear that there are also Americans who are uninterested in trying to accomidate forgeiners, and I imagine that would be very discouraging for someone who tries to get out of their comfort zone as we

Thanks! I will try that.

I understand that. Going back to your original comment, I think Americans will understand that you don't get those culturual references, and several will not mind showing you and helping you. For me it's actually a lot of fun to s

I have the exact same issue with USPS. If I see Amazon shops with USPS, I don't even bother to look for the package until the next day now. The problem for Amazon now is if I need an item ASAP, I really can't trust their next day&

Out of curiousity, did you meet or make many American friends? To me, I enjoy meeting different people from different cultures. I imagine I am not the only one.

I would like to frame my thoughts on this as an American that is dating a Taiwanese person, and as someone who has traveled around the USA a lot. I also ran my thoughts by her and she agreed with what I said. First, I think there are two ty

I could not find anywhere what binary dependencies this has, and I would be very curious about that since it is advertising "Open SOurce Software". Looking at the specs, it looks like the SoC is an Allwinner A64. Looking up how op

Out of curiosity, I have tried Vi and Emacs, but the CLI text editor I have gone back to is GNU nano. Am I missing something?

What you would have to do is find out which routers have more "long term" support. Those are the ones that tend to have the better developed software and less security holes. Those also tend to be the more expensive ones for that

"The final bit of information is interesting. It shows a positive rate of climb – 120 feet per minute to be exact, which for a jet airliner, is very slow. For reference, at takeoff the vertical speed is most often +1500 feet per minut
