All* PCs require a VGA console to boot. Maybe there’s some special type that doesn’t, but it would be extremely rare. When running headless it’s just hiding the console window, but the device still exists on the machine.

You just did the same thing—hinted at some larger risk but didn’t actually spell it out. I do agree that it’s long passed time that media needs to be way more direct instead of hoping the audience figures it out by themselves.

Developments in hardware are typically measured in decades, not years, so 5 years isn’t long at all to gain traction and go through price and manufacturing refinements. Again, I understand that’s just the reality of the market, but it would

I find it very frustrating that people expect new technologies to immediately beat existing ones on every metric, when the existing ones have the advantage of a long timeline of iterative refinement. Optane looked amazing, but it just wasn’

The fact is that language matters, and the version number is a way to communicate the developers’ perception of how suitable something is for use. If they refuse to label it as 1.0, it means either: they don’t think it’s in a stable state y

Start by writing down everything that annoyed you in this job. Treat it like a journal/therapy session where you just “vent” all your frustrations out onto the paper/screen. Then take a breath and a break. Go back to it later and

You don’t need to BGP hijack to perform a MITM attack. An HTTPS proxy can be easily and transparently installed at the Internet gateway. Many ISPs were doing this with HTTP to inject their own ads, and only the move to HTTPS put an end to i

This is one of the most insidious parts of the Microsoft Account. Windows and other apps (from Microsoft) are littered with booby traps where if you sign in on one of them, it’s irrevocable and automatically attaches the account to all the

As a general rule, a statement that starts with “why don’t you just …” typically leans far too heavily on the “just” to handwave away the reasons why the next part of the statement isn’t going to be helpful. In this case, you’re assuming a

The most important data point is whether you’re heating the water with the eggs already in the pot, or if you put them in after the water is boiling. I found that heating them with the water in the pot always leads to the shell being stuck

One school of thought (including my own) is that if you’re consuming enough sweetened products per day that you need to consider switching to ones that contain artificial sweeteners (to avoid too much sugar), then it’s time to re-evaluate y

I’m still a PuTTY user, but many people use Windows Terminal and the openssh client that’s now available as a Windows feature package. If I’m not using PuTTY, I usually go for Cygwin/Mintty.

The user base is what’s valuable, and Microsoft wants them moving to Teams. Selling it would undermine that since they would lose the users.

The way Microsoft “won” with Teams was through monopolistic bundling it into Windows and Office. To this day most people don’t like using Teams for chat, but because it’s there by default there’s not a good reason to go through the hassle o

They forgot Skype existed and everyone used Zoom. Then Microsoft scrambled and used their monopoly power in Windows to force Teams on everyone. Teams was not a thing until at least half a year into the pandemic.

I’m not sure that you’re putting the correct 2 and 2 together. To be frank, if you’re “absolutely burying them in paragraphs of text”, it seems like you’re the problem in that situation. Doing that is the equivalent of going into a meeting

The Yale article and the paper both highlight the fact that EVs use regenerative braking and produce less dust. I was worried that this was a rehash of the astroturf campaign from a few years ago focusing on EV weight and how that was so ba

You identified the problem in your statement: “the ISPs allocate…”. The provider gets to choose this, and if more bandwidth is available from a newer technology, they’re incentive is to allocate it to downloads so they can advertise faster

Eggs definitely have a permeable shell and water does evaporate out of them over time. 20% loss is absurd though; it would be more like 1%

Eggs have famously short shelf life, even in the refrigerator. They’re not going to last more than a month if you’re lucky. The egg cartons they’re sold in are already the most optimized way to store them. Moving them into something else do

This results in short term gains of being able to deliver something quickly, but the devs who used LLMs did not learn anything. The value for a developer is not in simply flipping a piece of code into production, it’s in learning how to fin

VPN is the right solution here. Each app shouldn’t have to develop its own remote access method when a generic solution already exists. It would be an issue if you’re stuck behind double NAT, but I think tailscale can help with that.

Seems like you might have a case of SV myopia. The idea that $1640 plus “a few thousand extra” to be able to drive a very expensive vehicle would be not “that expensive” is pretty out of touch.
