> Wi-Fi Alliance is naming the not-yet-complete IEEE 802.11ax standard as Wi-Fi 6, with ac being 5, and n being 4. One can guess then a is supposed to 1, b as 2, and g as 3, but this isn't mentioned anywhere I can see. Most 802.11b

They have 16,600 employees, with $5.1 trillion under management. They only have 400 funds, which typically would have just one or two fund managers. That's a ratio of 20:1 admin staff to fund managers, assuming two fund managers per fu

Yes, you're right, I was thinking only about desktop CPUs, forgetting the laptop CPUs are different.

You could just buy i5 based machines instead which don't have hyperthreading.

Probably because you don't have an SSD. It's a shame that entry level models of both the iMac and Mac Mini have hard disks rather than SSDs, because it gives a bad experience. I have a 2012 MacBook Air, 8GB, 256GB SSD still works

They don't want to make it NVME only, because they don't want to make a cheap Mac Mini with SSD, because it would eat into their iMac sales. Right now the Mac Mini starts at £479, but the cheapest with a SSD is £859, don't fo

It's about getting information in realtime, i.e. @mentions, DMs. Polling for that sort of stuff is time consuming and you'll hit the limits pretty quickly.

Sony's make mirrorless full-frame, they already able to replace SLRs for many photographers. It's not a trade off as you suggest, because Sony image quality is rated as one of the best, if not the best in the full-frame market.

Mostly yes, people are locked into their brand through the lens mount and it's pretty expensive to switch. In some ways mirrorless hasn't been considered as good as SLR, with focusing and battery life, though this has been improve

I agree with this, on Twitter and Facebook I will very often repost stuff, but on Instagram I never do. However, I do think it's hard to get noticed on Instagram (if that's what you want), due to the lack of native sharing, likes

Automate what exactly? the point is most home users access their router with 192.168.0.1, they don't have a domain name, nor are they likely to want to buy one. This is now no longer a niche thing that a few people want to do, it'

Most home broadband users don't have domains and would be unlikely to want to pay for one, just to remote login to their router.

We had the dot-com bubble, but it didn't stop the internet from changing everything in fundamental way. Google, Facebook and Amazon are in the top 10 most valuable companies in the world - all completely dependant on the internet for t

Yes, on the UK one. However, there are many versions around the world. Also, the presenters involved have all left, and are now on the Grand Tour. My point was about halo cars in general, not Telsa's experience in general. The team at

To get featured the list of fastest cars in magazines etc., to go to car shows, to get people into a show room, to get featured on TopGear/The Grand Tour, for kids to talk about at school and so on. All of which boost Tesla's bran

My advice is not to worry about pay in the short term. Once you have some experience pay will be much higher. Think of working somewhere as education essentially, if they pay you minimum wage too, that's a bonus. I'd find a compan

Is it so hard though? Do Facebook, Google etc. have this problem too? I doubt it. Systems need to be designed to be patched regularly from the outset. Yes, defense in depth can help, but it's not defense in depth if you one of the laye

It's a nice idea, though I'd really like to just run one myself (inside the firewall), seems like that would be safer, at least in the eyes of users.

Ultimately the issue is that IPv4 addresses are expensive. Allowing multiple users bind to port 80 on different IP addresses, assume you can have multiple IP addresses on that IP. Unless they are private IPs, that's going to be the mai

It'd be useful to know what this is likely to break, AFAIK I sshd doesn't log what ciphers people used, like Apache can do. A caniuse.com for SSH would be useful.

That's not the point. The problem is when the person loses their job. A downturn in the economy would lead to job losses and wave of defaults on vehicle repayments.

To me, you need come up a schedule a stick to it no matter what. For example when I wanted to do more photography, I started a 365 project [1] to a take a photo everyday and publish it. The first couple of weeks were hard, but after a while

Seems like it would be pretty to fake up one of those screenshots and put it on Twitter, in the hope someone would pay it.
