If you compare it with Chrome it's hard to say. But if you just want to use Firefox (because speed is not everything), the difference between 57 and 56 is huge. I spent 15 minutes just opening sites at random to enjoy the speed :). On

In the 3DSecure context, there is another level added, with a password handled by the Issuing Bank. From what I saw, the web form for entering this password is not implemented by the PSP but by the issuing bank - the PSP redirects you to th

It's not about poking holes, is about showing the ones that exist. It's only one data point (with unusual circumstances, like paying $0 for charging all the time).

Many of the current cars are 100% drive by wire (ECU/power brakes/electric power steering), but that doesn't mean anything. Probably quite a good part of the $hundred of millions price of a passenger plane is the autopilot (e

Everything is an "app" now. For me it sounds cheaper, somehow trivializing the work of many.

There is a setting in the Android Developer options to simulate different kinds of color blindness live on anything displayed on screen. It's called "Simulate color space" and has 4 different settings (monochromacy, deuterano

It's unfortunate because the GPU prices and availability right now are going nuts. I wanted to buy a GTX 1070 and it's out of stock with weeks of waiting on preorders on most European websites, with price increases of 40-50% in th

Not only lots of RAM but lots of very fast RAM. This is what makes it ASIC-resistant for now (it's not hard to attach a huge RAM to an ASIC, but going for hundreds of GB/s is really expensive). So unfortunately it's GPUs for

I always wondered how this oil-change scam still continues in the US. Modern cars with synthetic oils don't need an oil change every 3-4 months or 3000 miles. I always changed the oil according to the (European or Japanese) manufacture

Are you talking about these helium-filled drives or the more common and way less expensive Archive drives (shingled)?

A one-channel scope is useful, but it still feels as cutting your left arm when you are used to (and need) more than one channel. And these days most of the things are digital, so that means SPI/I2C/whatever with more than one lin

HT performance grew from generation to generation. In many cases a HT "core" has 80% of the performance of a "normal" core. A current 2-core+HT i3 CPU is almost on par with a 4-core i5 (the i3 has faster cores but less L

Yes, but other cameras don't have that. And it's not really about editing on smartphones. My 7D mk II is great for sports photography, but now sports means instant publish or don't shoot at all - most sports photographers now

What's interesting for me is that nowhere on the site, even when you compare, configure, or try to buy the Surface Book, is mentioned what kind of "i5" or "i7" you get (also for GPU). All you can see when you "

Sandforce does compression for minimizing writes, not for speed. They are slower than non-compressing controllers for some tasks because of that, but it should increase the device's lifetime.

For me (bought a new "normal" car recently) the main reason against an electric/plug-in hybrid vehicle was that I did not have an easy solution to charge it (apartment with parking nearby but no charging infrastructure). The

Synthetic diamonds are not that cheap (about 50% of the price of the natural ones), because they are not that easy to make. The large synthetic diamonds are grown in HPHT medium (>2600 degrees C), and even if they are made by a machine,

At 100% zoom you will see that they have different sizes. Noise has usually the same size (the size of one pixel on the sensor, if not using bayer filtering). Then you take a look at the XDF[1], showing ~5500 galaxies like this one in a tin

Would be useful to add an "MacOS" label (or Linux/Win) to the HN links when the tools are for a specific OS only, so that users of other OSes don't have to spend their clicks. At least for this project it is straightforw

There is a way to secure this kind of devices. The mobile data providers can offer VPN services for customer devices, so they could be "hidden" from the Internet an the network level, without changing their configuration.
