There are bunch of reasons, but here’s the one topping my list: 1. Heroes! One man’s hero is another man’s jerk. A single box becomes a single point of failure. Once the hero guy gets pulled out of bed one too many times because the one box

Remember, even 1000 writes means roughly 3Y of full drive writes per day with the naïve wear leveling and the most brutal write load. For most write loads the drives made of this kind of NAND can be easily warranted for 3Y.

A million problems started when system clocks were changed to follow UTC (as opposed to local time) and then UTC was conflated with Unix time - a fixed monotonic reference, which UTC is not! Though the ship has sailed, I think it could have

Since the current US government is anti-tech as well, EU and CN governments are cranking up the pressure to get more money from the US tech. I guess this will last until next administration which will do the same to the EU companies. Once t

Fake and counterfeit chips & products are scourge of our industry. Their shady manufacturers put the customers at risk and put the original manufacturers in an impossible position. I don’t envy the position Prolific is in. Whatever we c

Exchanging money for goods and services is the norm and frankly I’m not even sure if anyone offers true privacy! Even EU wants to insert spyware on every box now so it’s really preferences in the play. To each their own.

What guarantee does DuckDuckGo make that should make me believe they’re going to be better than Google and Bing? Right now their (and other supposed privacy oriented engines) promise is as good as a promises made in ToS of Google/Bing…

Arguments that doubts the origins and not the technical merits are very poor arguments. That’s a slippery slope that can go to any absurd extreme such as asking what’s the proof that CurveCP is free from nation-state pressure because of aut

What is dark about the design pattern? They have an ad-free YT that anyone can pay to subscribe. Is it considered dark because they want the users to subscribe to paid version? I think labelling everything “dark pattern” just makes the term

The section on “ How to avoid GDPR fines in 2022” is naïve to a fault. My personal opinion is that after recent rulings startups need to be very careful. GDPR compliance is practically a nightmare for any entity that even so much implements
