I will not buy a phone without a 3.5" jack period. I'm not buying ridiculously expensive wireless headphones that are objectively worse (worse quality than wired alternatives, added hassle of charging them plus much more expensive

I don't think so. Is wanting to abolish marriage altogether being against straight people? Gay marriage != gay people. From what I've seen, the majority of people against gay marriage, religious people, aren't against gays pe

That sounds like a false equivalency to me. How is being against gay marriage being against gay people? As far as I'm aware, there were a certain amount of gay people who didn't want gay marriage either. Are they anti-gay?

Just curious, why do you consider someone against gay marriage to be anti-gay?

YouTube ads are really egregious and extremely annoying, and the option to block them (YouTube Red) isn't even available in my country. So I'm forced to use other methods of ad blocking. I literally want to pay them to make them s

They need to find a business model that isn't based around outright deception to survive. I have zero sympathy for them.

They're broke and they need at least $750MM to $1B in the bank to operate effectively as a company.

You should research all tenets of basic income including the economic side of it by getting the opinion of actual economists on it before you make your decision. If you're not properly considering an idea then that leaves room for pers

The only reason you'd ever lash out at a competitor for copying you is because you have an inferior product overall. If you were winning, you wouldn't care. Build something better. Getting angry about this doesn't help you.

This is pretty damning. It's pretty amazing how Oculus will lose the VR battle despite being "first". The HTC Vive and other more open solutions for developers that aren't behind a walled garden will win with gamers.

Not really, all of those things mentioned need constant security patches even if they don't receive new features. You can't have an insecure Microsoft free application on a non-EOL Windows. They patch things all the time. Sure it

Have a separate domain that points to your real origin IP. This is how I do it. I have company.com and companyprivate.com (obviously named so it's not so obvious they are related). Company.com points to CloudFlare and companyprivate.co

A great deal of DDoS services are essentially MITM intermediaries. Akamai, Black Lotus and others do the same thing. Why is CloudFlare the bad guy? They have an exemplary record thus far.
16.
by mgo 11y ago
I don't agree at all. I think CloudFlare is almost a public utility at this point, and they should offer services to anyone and be completely blind to the content they are serving. If LEAs have a court order, then they should definitel

I don't understand why they need to make these cuts. It's Microsoft - they surely have access to extremely cheap hard drives through bulk purchasing. What's 10GB?

OVH will nullroute you in about 3 seconds if you're affecting the stability of their network. I've been hit with a very large DDoS attack before, and our host nullrouted us because the attack was causing instability for our neighb

By never revealing the IP address of the origin. Conceal it completely behind CF. A properly configured CF setup will mean your real server IP never gets revealed ever.

Cloudflare is cheap, and you can easily stick Cloudflare in front of your AWS/GCS boxes.

Correct. Facebook censors certain topics, but at least they're honest about it. Twitter claims it isn't happening at all, which is a clear lie.

No question about censorship on the platform. Extremely disappointing. Twitter is being wielded as a political censorship weapon.

I just get the feeling VR technology simply will not work because the resolution isn't high enough, and even the most top-end monster PCs cannot handle standard resolution VR, let alone 4K or even 8K in the future. Graphics cards reall

This is worthless for hardware such as Google's Chromecast and Android TV, because the DNS is hardcoded to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

If someone wants to take you down they'll just bombard you with traffic, and this won't help you there. Having been the victim of several DDoS attacks over the years, almost all of them haven't been on the application layer.

Yet this whole event is being used as a catalyst for further degradation of freedom and encryption. How can we take the powers above seriously when they can't even catch a fairly large network of terrorists scheming over the clearnet?

This was a pretty major exploit. Imgur has acknowledged the exploit: https://twitter.com/imgur/status/646109742004224000 Looks like the exploit was a combination of a misconfiguration in the way direct images are

Looks like someone changed the password to the demo account, credentials don't work at all. The site seems extremely slow, and the faux loading bar with every page navigation is actually annoying. Maybe it'd be okay if the site wa
