Most people looking to print at home need it for things like printing assignments, plane/concert tickets, and other general documents, and that’s who those recommendations are for. Color laser printers are designed for these kinds of

Yes, I can see that. A lot of their store brand items in clothing, housewares, etc. are losing their quality. It used to be that Walmart was the lower quality, but in many cases they’re now similar.

I really don’t see how you can reach this conclusion unless you’re buying stuff from the Target web site that’s sold through their marketplace vendors. This would really depend on what you’re buying. I would never trust any health product b

Yes, this is very important. Starting a new project is just another form of procrastination where you’re avoiding the already large pile of things that actually need to be done.

For people using Windows, Microsoft of the 2020s is also like Microsoft of the 1990s, and possibly even worse. All the bundled apps, cloud requirements, “accidental” pushes of features that people had already declined, telemetry, etc.

This is just dumb. The plane is about to leave with empty seats, using crew time and fuel, and they won’t fill those seats? If they did, it would make space for someone else on the next flight, who was possibly bumped because of another del

Search engines link back to the original sources, making them discoverable which is the “payment” for allowing it. That’s a very different use than an AI that doesn’t even know where the original content came from and provides nothing back

Seems like you could assemble something like a 3D volumetric display by stacking multiple displays. It would start out with maybe a few planes, then get more dense as the technology advances.

You’re missing the point. It’s that the type of work they do does not require hours of deep focus. They’re doing things like having calls, sending emails, and making PowerPoints. All of that are things that happen in short bursts and aren’t

I don’t think this is a surprise to anyone here (I just assume anything done on any of these services is being “used to improve it” i.e. “spying”). But if Schneier is talking about it, maybe it will get more attention.

Influencing an election can take the form of sowing confusion and apathy, instead of driving people to a specific candidate. This leads to people not voting or otherwise participating, which cedes the political landscape to the extremes, wh

MoCa is great, but I don’t see a mention of using a point of entry filter to make sure your local network doesn’t leak out into the rest of the neighborhood. I’m surprised that kit didn’t come with one.

In the US, laws are taken as very literal, and any technicality that can be exploited usually will be. In Europe, they’re far more focused on the spirit of the law and don’t put up with games. On one hand it seems like Apple is trying to ta

One of the most important aspects of ‘sudo’ is that it takes the password of the user who started it, not the admin password. Will this ‘sudo’ work like that, or does it need the user to know an administrator password? If it needs an admin

Do you expect that everyone who uses a database should know all the internals of the data structures stored on disk, journals, ram cache, etc. before they try to do basic SQL? That’s the comparison you’re making: anyone who can’t write a da

It says right in the intro that the goal is part of penetration testing, which is about far more than just your web app. The target is typically to compromise the central IDM (e.g. Active Directory) get the password database which contains
