The Apple/Google Pay cards have a DPAN (device account number) that is different to the CPAN of the physical card. It keeps the same issuer (first 6 digits) and the same "last 4" digits, but the others are different. The DPAN

You've got to wonder why. It makes no sense for xAI to make their own chips. The "integration" of SpaceX/xAI is just standard Musk-move-losses-to-the-company-making-money-at-the-moment bullshit. Apple actually have the r

I first used ed(1) back in the ye olden days of early 1980s, vi was like a major advance. Came in handy when I had to talk a guy through updating a Solaris config file to allow the box to boot when he only had a serial console in the early

So in the comments here we have the usual about us-east-1, it's centralized, it's a SPOF for AWS, they should fix it, don't put your stuff there, etc. This was one data centre in one zone of a multi-zone region. Yes IAM&#
