I remember waking up to go to school every morning at 6:45 and taking the bus every day at 7:05 when I was in high school in France. Most months the sun hadn't even risen yet. It was punishing, and I definitely was sleep deprived by th

One thing I noticed back when I worked in Japan 15 years ago is that, because a lot of software engineers there don't speak English (or at least not well enough), there was a big market for translations of English technical books. It w

I'd love to read what you've written. So far, my research into commercial Access points hasn't really been that fruitful. I refuse any cloud based management interface. For the router, I use mikrotik which has been great but

Out of the 4 sim cards I have, only one provider supports eSIM. And yes, I'm aware that some iphones can use dual sim with an eSIM but the HK model which is better is dual SIM (with no eSIM).

And this is why I'm not happy to see 1password moving to an online only model. If it's only local vaults, I can understand the threat model, I have more control over it, as soon as it's in the cloud, it becomes quite a bit ha

The mister multisystem is not an improvement over the de10-nano. It's just an alternative in a different form factor to the open sdram module and the analog io board. You still need a de10-nano to plug into it. It's not the first
