Last time I tried GlusterFS was in 2012. The way it worked was very impressive back then and I would have loved to actually put it into production. Unfortunately, I hit a roadblock in relation to enumeration of huge directories: Even with j

How would they prove that the damage was caused by a third-party battery if there was no security feature to authenticate first-party ones? People would buy third party batteries and put the original back before filing a warranty claim

Considering the damage a 3rd party battery can potentially cause, I can see where Lenovo is coming from. Of course there's also the aspect of securing margins on accessories, but there's also the aspect of making sure people'

because eventually, somewhere in the API there must be a way to actually add that cert. The API that's being called from windows internally when you press the "OK" button on the warning that's normally shown. And even if
