The problem is, that when I bought this device there was nothing to say that it was modified by this ISP. The device looks exactly the same as any other WNDR3800. It wasn't Netgear who limited the hardware in this way, it also wasn&#x2

s/malicious actors/hardware owners/ See, I bought this WNDR3800 off Ebay, because I wanted to put OpenWRT on it. Its compatible. But I made the mistake of buying a used router that was managed by a ISP. They built their own f

Who ever actually goes directly to google.com? The only way I noticed this insignificant change was in my interactions with the results page. Why does this non-news have 375 points?

no 'ruby version manager', eg 'chruby, rvm, or rbenv' make any sense in the nix/guix world. the article would have done a disservice to itself to go into detail on each one, when the goal was really to show how to m

I already have metropcs, its $40/mo for unlimited everything. My plan covers unlimited up to 3g, for 4g or LTE I get 2gb/mo. If I wanted unlimited though, its only $60/mo. How is $100 for 10GB even comparable? Metropcs also h

The difference here is f2p vs p2w. p2w mean Pay to Win. There are many P2W FPS type games where you can buy weapons that give you an edge over those without those weapons. In some cases, you can 'unlock' these weapons by earning i

Too bad it will never work with CodeClimate, Travis-Ci, etc. We have many Git hosting sites to choose from; but the reality is that few 3rd party sites integrate with anything other than Github.

You should point out that many of these are _github_ only. Horrible if you are a OSS developer but don't use that platform.
