It blows my mind how prevalent smartphone-based MFA has become. People should be far less willing to comply with vendors' demands for mobile numbers under the guise of improved security. SMS 2FA generally worsens your security postur

With modern systems having so many cores there's plenty of compute available for at least simulating the player's engine sounds more elaborately... They don't have to do it for every vehicle in the sim.

Are those extensions really what matters in comparing to a Zen core? I assumed these cores are lacking in the OoO/speculative exuction/branch prediction department. It makes them smaller so it's cheaper to have many of them,

64 is a lot of cores, getting that many cores in something like a Threadripper isn't cheap. But I wonder what the relative performance is. Four channels of 3.2Ghz DDR4 is theoretically a good amount of aggregate memory bandwidth to ke

Are there any more modern film analogs of Sneakers with similar quality? Such a hard hitting cast... I still watch this movie at least once a year.

My ex worked at a children's museum where they'd regularly make this stuff in quantity for kids to play with. It looked like a lot of fun. It surprises how few adults I encounter have any idea what I'm talking about when I m

The PC has always been such a mess of incompatible peripherals, it made for a terrible demo platform in the DOS days when the OS didn't abstract any of the graphics and sound stuff in a normalized form. Amiga and C64 included capable m

We used to bet on parking lot races of pedestrians vs. cars/motorcycles, where the distance was measured in parking spaces. Fun times. Fit pedestrians reach full speed pretty quick!
