Blaming IT managers is akin to blaming a bus driver when the bridge collapses. IT managers are required to implement AV for compliance. They'd lose their jobs if they refused to do it and either failed an audit or got hit by common mal

This sounds great. I just got my tech license and have just been messing with the UV-5R radios. The chatter on the local repeaters isn’t boring either. But I was drawn to ham radio because I am tired of the internet today. I want to get tha

There's a lot to unpack here, such as your wife getting mad AT YOU for something outside of your control. That's not a tech problem. I will say that every bulb and switch I have replaced with a Hue stuff is in a box in my garage.

My daughter loves a show that was put out on Disney+. It had superb production value, wonderfully casted and was based on a series of books that we read together over the course of a few years. It disappeared from the service. They never re

The sad reality of city life is that there are so many people constantly in your vicinity that it's impossible to have true human connections with people. However, even more sad is the reality that people learn to turtle up and keep th

Imagine telling your kids that they’re suddenly moving away from all their friends and uprooting their lives for a job that obviously doesn’t respect them. What a nightmare. So Patagonia is going to lose all the talent who have enough skill

LLMs will increasingly become interfaces to every type of system. This assertion that LLMs should obey whatever instructions as long as they are specifically prompted to do so is bizarre. Should a bank teller LLM divulge another customers b

I introduced RCS to my sysadmin team in the mid 90s but again you always had those guys with god complexes who couldn’t be bothered to ‘ci -u’ or ‘co -l’ properly because that’s not how they do things. And if your entire team isn’t onboard

I don’t know. As someone who has tried to introduce the simple concept of version control to various sysadmin orgs over the years, I am fine with many of those types of sysadmins going away A lot of those guys just couldn’t handle a reality

Who knows! Just like “SRE” you really need to know what questions to ask before you accept any position in these orgs I briefly worked at a place where the SREs were responsible for replacing displays on the factory floor and the devops eng

Yeah, I believe many charges get added on to work towards plea deals, at least in the U.S. “disturbing the peace” is pretty common here and can be applied to anything. Intent is a critical piece of prosecution, though. Hard to argue that yo

Let’s be honest. The dev board is not some obscure or custom part. It’s sold alongside the flipper zero. I think mine came as an official bundle and you need it to do pretty much any coding for it. Every review promotes it for WiFi pen test

This article focuses on the sets but don’t fool yourself; every streaming device and every app on those devices is capturing as much telemetry as possible and selling it I have even heard of some WiFi enabled sets which will surreptitiously

In Apple terms an app is a unit of software sold in the App Store. F.lux had all the hallmarks of any other tweak-style standalone application. Prefs, launcher, icons, update channel, etc It was so good and groundbreaking that it was adopte

Having just battled the job market, many offers for remote work take your CoL into account; they aren’t paying Seattle salaries to people who live in MN. I went from a fully remote role to a hybrid role when I switched. I was successfully a

We are already recorded pretty much everywhere you go and there is no expectation of privacy in a public place. In fact, I can’t think of a single place in any major city where I would be able to escape surveillance. Even parks these days h

I agree. Rap and Hip Hop have always been very showy about wealth and name dropping luxury brands. I suppose that's authentic for the genre. https://www.wsj.com/articles/these-are-the-fashion-brands-ra... Meanwhil
