HP long ago rebranded "The Machine" to be just a powerful regular computer, since they haven't been successful in making viable memristors at scale. So they will deliver it, it just won't be anything like what they promi

The + operator was removed despite being there for a long time. Also there's a whole bunch of wrong info in the article. The most blatant one is that they claim google by default performs an AND search, which even a cursory use of goog

>AND >Search for X and Y. This will return only results related to both X and Y. Note: It doesn’t really make much difference for regular searches, as Google defaults to “AND” anyway. But it’s very useful when paired with other operat

More precisely, an expiration timestamp is embedded in the repository metadata. Packages in debian and derivatives are not signed. Instead, the manifest that lists all the available packages and their checksums is signed. That's also w

Onion services can have various goals. Hiding the server is a very common one, but it's not always the case. For example facebook runs an onion server for their service, they don't need to hide the service itself. So they configur

It's not so much that they can't be used 24/7, but that Li-Ion batteries really don't like staying at 100% charge (nor 0% either for that matter). If you can configure your laptop to only charge the battery to ~80% or so

But then under what circumstances will the zero page thread ever be scheduled?

I'm okay with cheap/counterfeit goods for some items, if I know what I'm buying and the price reflects that. I'm not okay with paying full price and receiving a worse product than I paid for. Examples of things I would n

I haven't played any of these games either, and the kinds of "press a button in time to make stuff happen" events you describe are something I really hate in games, so I don't think I will. That said, your description of

Probably they will be the only sellers for these items, so no counterfeit problem there. I doubt this will fix the situation for other items. Personally I've switched away from amazon, after twice in a row getting a box with a switched

The article is actually rather vague about whether the op-ed was written by Hagar. It says: > To try to understand his viewpoint, Ars attempted to reach Hagar by phone and email in September. In the course of this process, we learned tha

This specific implementation does. What's stopping firmware from patching GRUB to patch the kernel to do things it's not supposed to do? There is nothing inherent to Linux that makes it invulnerable to this kind of thing. If you c

Going a bit off-topic, I can't access this CloudFlare blog using a Tor browser (using the "standard" security level) without a CAPTCHA. Didn't we discuss just last week an article[0] by CloudFlare where they said they&#x

Good to hear. For what it's worth, I haven't seen a CAPTCHA browsing cloudflare sites for a long time (months?), until just today I've gotten two (out of several tens of CF-backed sites visited). Could be related to these cha

Thanks to CloudFlare for working with Tor on these issues. The browsing experience for us legit Tor users is much better than it used to be. I hope that eventually, .onion services can get DV certs so their proxy can serve that cert if the
