My negotiation skills are okay, but mattresses have absurd markups. Sales guy said $900 was the wholesale price, but I highly doubt that. I'm sure they still made at least a few hundred dollars on the sale. I've heard the wholesal

Buying a mattress is aggravating, but my experience has been rather different. Maybe I went to different types of stores, I don't know. I did notice that each store/chain seems to sell very similar mattresses that are somehow tech

The last time I was on their site (a week or two ago), they were even detecting adblockers and responding with bypass exploits.

I've done that too. Throw them all in a hat and redistribute them randomly once every couple of months.

Tip for US users WRT loyalty cards: Most of these systems allow you to use your phone number rather than having the actual card. Use whatever the local area code is with 867-5309 as the phone number (from a song). I've never had this n

Block lists don't work when they can just spoof arbitrary numbers.

Has he ever used the POTUS account? From its recent activity it appears to be run by a PR team and only retweets things. As far as Twitter is concerned, his "personal account" is an official government account, exempt from being b

Even just the half of the key in that secreenshot is likely to be sufficient to recover the whole thing as well - RSA private key formats have a ton of redundant data.

I've actually found that rotating the email address I have listed in whois quarterly addresses the spam problem pretty well. Phone number goes to my Google Voice account which is set up to send everything directly to voicemail.

TiVo had a 30 second skip feature to make manually skipping ads easy that they "disabled" (there was a "cheat code" to turn it back on) to avoid legal issues. They also had a button to skip 8 seconds back, but that was f

How many sites include in their ToS that you must not block their ads? How many sites are willing to accept legal liability for malware served up by their ads?

It looks like JMAP is on top of HTTP - does this mean a normal browser could speak it directly? How is new mail notification handled? Polling?

It's not possible to make a web-based email client that speaks to the IMAP/SMTP server directly. Only a "native" (electron can do this) client can use those protocols.

I bought a laptop from HP about a year ago, and they canceled my order after shipping it, having FedEx return it to them. I'm still mad about it.

It appears to be validating the envelope sender (reply@telus.com) rather than the from address, per the spec. The thing is, telus.com doesn't have a DMARC record, and thier SPF record doesn't include 69.64.35.11. This header might

Some parts of these headers look faked to me, in particular, the bottom most Received is definitely faked, and probably also the bottom most Received-SPF and Authentication-Results. The current SPF records for telus.com don't seem to

When I worked there (mid 2009 to early 2014), almost all customers had dedicated installations (as in a rack of servers) with just their data on-site. Even the hosted instances had siloed data. There are features for peering, but AFAIK that
