Would you please be able to share a source for the encryption back door? I assume they can access email using the usual court order process in AU but worried this will turn into a free for all like ISP data retention.. I made the move to Fa

If you’re in Australia, no fallacy imo, government mandated data retention laws in place. I believe started that very few gov departments could see this data but has increased over time to the point I believe is accessible for some civil ca

I’ve recently come to a similar conclusion around “Focus” being something in short supply in most workplaces and no matter how often I point out its power (with examples), people push to solve 3-5 large scale problems concurrently. I’m not

While I agree there is no need to brand everything, it can serve a useful purpose, eg especially if a philosophy wants to try to spread a shift in thinking around reducing consumerism/how we live etc. This could be seen as 'tech-

It is a pretty smooth process but my partner got stuck in a failure mode due to removing friction like confirming email before you can start engaging with the app. A typo in the email and a password manager failing to save the generated pas

For power generation, the stat commonly used is “EROI” or “EROEI” Eg energy returned on energy invested. This is sometimes expressed in time range (which depends on average generation rate based on where it is installed etc) or just energy

I don’t know if the 4kW statistic is right but 16kWh per day is 0.667kW continuous (16kW / 24 hours).They specifically say not including electricity use but could see that continuous number climbing closer to the 4kW number if it did.

Ubisoft obviously has some kind of special deal to be able to sell their own subscription “coming soon”, does anyone know what the profit share for game developers is for this kind of cloud gaming? Or will it only be large publisher titles

I don’t think they are missing the point. These abstractions are far from perfect and trying to hunt down why something is not performing and tracing it back to how syntax is being interpreted as data is stored (GPU memory vs system memory

That way of thinking assumes that the people you are giving recommendations to care most about your app’s availability rather than the persons own preferences and motivations. If your audience is non tech savvy (group defined by not being a

+1 for ECS as well, I think it’s a good middle ground and much easier to use. Is getting better as well with spot instance termination detection in the ALB and more seem to be coming soon. If you are on AWS is worth considering rather than
