I live in the U.S., have a U.S. phone number, and get maybe one spam call every six months. (Spam texts about once a month, with the exception of before elections, when it’s more.) I wonder what causes the difference. Do I have a newer phon

I bought a desktop with “strange and undesirable” hardware (an Intel discrete GPU) from Facebook Marketplace at a substantial discount to any new machine with the same performance. Perhaps consider that route if you’re just looking for a st

Does your local NPR station (or even PBS) have local journalists? Obviously their primary formats aren’t written, but my local NPR has a fantastic website also.

5G is probably not a requirement for your phone service (although I can’t say for sure). The critical bit on networks in the U.S. and many other countries without 2G or 3G is VoLTE for phone calls and texts, which it does support. Some carr

Microsoft’s Copilot products are a very similar situation where the enterprise and consumer (and GitHub) features only make sense if you think about the org chart. Both companies need stronger top down product thinking.

I’ve read this article every time it’s gotten posted here and it’s always gone a little over my head. I was able to follow how he used 8 x86_64 registers for the VM’s stack slots and how the VM instructions were implemented. How the padding

The “kernel” in Qubes is arguably Xen rather than Linux, and that’s where the security boundaries are supposed to be defined rather than within VMs that may be running any OS. VM compartmentalization as a security mechanism is hard to compa

As I understood it, Memory Integrity Enforcement adds an additional check on heap dereferences (and it doesn’t apply to every process for performance reasons). Why does it crush hacking rather than just adding another incremental roadblock

Am I the only one who feels like it isn't the responsibility of backbone ISPs to filter traffic like this? In the case of a DDoS situation I could get behind it, but in this case I feel as though it's not Cogent's problem if

What product from 2006 did it come with? My understanding was that the Secure Enclave came out with the iPhone 5s in 2013 (still before 2014, so your point stands, I’m just curious).
