Residential broadband involves millions of items such as switches, transceivers and billions of miles of cables. Much of this is replaced every 5 years by ISPs. Not even taking wireless routers into account which are probably replaced much

That strikes me as highly anecdotal. Another anecdote for you; my Windows 10 Thinkpad which is used for 10 hours every day remains as quick and reliable as the day that I got it and generally goes for months without being restarted.

I'd add Bvckup 2 to that list. Simply a application for copying/mirroring directories but is quick with a simple UI despite having lots of options. Bought a license years ago but still use it daily.

At least in Chrome and Edge you can just disable notifications completely in the settings menu.

I actually quite like electric because it stays hot for a period of time which can be useful for drying veg after draining.

This probably isn't everyone's experience but I have Windows 10 Enterprise and it runs for months at a time whilst staying very stable. Can't fault it really.

Just let them know where those details are and how to access them if they need to.

I understand this sort of thing pisses people off but Windows Autopilot and automatic enrolment into Intune has been an incredible help this last year. Where I work we managed to ship thousands of laptops to students homes from the manufact

VW transmissions haven't used a cable in many years, 30 plus.

While I'm sure UK police are after the same powers (or already have them!) Ireland isn't a part of the UK.

How do you know the card wasn't compromised before it reached you?

Whatapp does have a list of banned hashes for images so that certain images cannot be send - this hash check is done on the client so as not to break e2e encryption. The same can surely be done with web links.

I mean surely it's just a different trade off. With one system you have absolute sovereignty over your money with all of the risks that entails and with the other you have less independence and potentially (hopefully) more protections

That would massively increase the complexity and cost of batteries because suddenly they need to withstand being installed and removed thousands of times.

You're clearly doing something right, Rclone is a fantastic tool!

America spends the highest amount per capita & the most in total terms by a large margin and they aren't able to cover 100% of their citizens. Nobody thinks that healthcare is magically free in the rest of the world, but at least i

UPnP allows devices to open up firewall ports for themselves to allow traffic to reach them inbound. Games (for example) that that host a server on the users local machine may require an open port to allow access inbound so UPnP can help wi

I'm pretty sure CP2077 was denied several times by Microsoft because there were so many problems.

My Nokia phone is the same, it's a broken port I think.

That would close things off for most nodes but there are lots of nodes running on Tor or custom ports. Not to mention other channels like satellites that are used for transaction distribution. Junk transactions could stop a few nodes but al

Valve seems to be a good example of this.

Hyperoptic cover an absolutely tiny part of the country though. For most people they are stuck with BT VDSL if they're lucky, ADSL if they are less.

The nodes are what actually enforce the rules. If you send out a transaction with 25M coins in, nodes won't broadcast that transaction and it doesn't make it to the blockchain.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but am I right that a droplet firewall doesn't have any ability to create source exceptions to lock an open port down to a singular IP. Seems like a basic enough feature but I can&#x2

Better Call Saul does exactly the same thing as you describe though. That show is relentless in knocking Saul down despite all his efforts to better his fortunes. But sometimes that's how life is.

You used to be able to just open up recovery mode and reset the password anyway, passwords on OS X used to be a theatre. No idea about it now though.

Pihole is just a web app running over dnsmasq as far as I know.

That's just self insurance, legal in most places with a few requirements. Most large car hire companies practice it.
