What do you do when you are done glamping? Do they come pack it up? This seems to be "optimized" for remote sites, where frankly you shouldn't leave anything worth $25k if you want it to be in one piece when you get back. 100

Unlimited Plus (the plan with free YouTube Premium) is a dollar more per month than just buying the Unlimited plan and YT Premium separately. You also only get it free for a year.

Looking back it shines an interesting light on the motivations. Everything was filtered using a very specific politically motivated lens and lacked a lot of important context. You could steal all the emails of any HN user and cherry pick a

Exactly. Both require you to show proof of ownership by registering your purchase.

Here is a better example: try to take the radio out of any modern car and stick it back in yourself. When power is lost it will require an activation code from the dealership. This is an anti-theft feature that consumers pay for when they b

USB-C must deliver a minimum of 3 amps at _at least_ 5V. If it delivers more than 5 amps it must contain a marker chip. The Zimaboard charger could deliver 4 amps at 12 v for 48 watt power delivery and be entirely within spec. (I haven&#x27

Google is rarely the target of intentional attacks. Their cloud customers are the intended victims.

Which is perfectly in spec. Feel free to email the USB Implementers Forum and let them know they are clowns and USB-C was a mistake. USB-C simply describes a connector. USB-PD is one of many optional power over USB-C specifications you can

Do you happen to have a mapping of Cloudflare IP space to physical POPs? To the best of my knowledge they do not publish this, which makes it quite a chore to track all their edge locations manually.

I used to do this on long flights, but most in flight providers have stopped trying to identify and shape specific protocols and now limit bandwidth purely by client. If you get a few people on all at once it thinks you are streaming video

It is possible for providers who see a statically significant potion of mail traffic to see all or almost all DKIM selectors. I think what the line you quote is trying to say is reject mail from MailChannels that isn't DKIM signed.

Emergency rooms are already the treatment of last resort for the uninsured. Visit any ER on a Tuesday afternoon in a major city and you'll be stuck in a two hour queue behind what are 95% primary care issues. The $400 Tylenol people lo

I assume you live outside the United States. Healthcare here is... special.

Only emergency rooms are legally obligated to treat you to the point of stabilization. As most doctors are now part of hospital ran conglomerates, a failure to pay your bill for an orthopedic consult can still be recorded in the hospitals s

The takeaway here was that you need to be aware of it to make IPv6 work. Again, your average operator of a small regional WISP may try to deploy v6 because they lack v4 space and face customer complaints because they single home behind HE a

IPv6 adoption is only going to further the consolidation of customers onto the big monopoly providers. They will be the only ones who can afford to add the dedicated network engineering staff to make it work reliably. Most people don't

DNSSEC is one of the standards where I am confident the US government did not intentionally introduce weaknesses because the US government is the largest deployed base of zones due to a poorly thought out executive order.

Irrelevant. This "revelation" is from pre-2013 information. Dual_EC may have been the capability before it was withdrawn.

DNSSEC is a great example of just how poorly committee designed crypto is. The government doesn't need to do anything to standards, they can just let them play out as-is. We ended up with a huge mess that solves no actual problems, int
