That's not security, that's an assumption. UPnP was so vilified because it broke that assumption and revealed NAT never provided security, it provided an assumption.

I was on Chorus/UPC in Ireland. I asked them in 2013 when v6 was coming, they told me it was coming in 2014. I asked them in 2014 when it was coming, and they said 2014. I asked them in 2015 when it was coming, and they said 2014. T

The only reasonable way I can see to do this, would be to have an IPv4v2 packet within an IPv4v1 packet. So the v4v1 packet is delivered to its endpoint then stripped and the v4v2 packet traverses onwards to its destination. This doesn&#x2

fwiw you don't need to be a citizen to have an SSN, you just need to be legally resident. I don't know if it's something you have to apply for, I was 20 when I moved to the US so my parent handled all the paperwork. Just wan

My biggest worry for Apple Silicon was that ARM’s obviously only suited for mobile devices, so it’d only really land in the Air, maybe mb13 - with the concern that this would cause fracturing where “pro” apps were intel only and armbook tur

I always get the impression an immutable OS is solving the wrong problem. It protects the OS - all the data I don't care about - but does nothing to protect /home/me, which is everything I do care about. How is this solved?

It looks like they were designed for chiplets from the start. So desktops could simply be the existing chips stacked.

It seems perfectly sane to me that album-order should be the default. If Netflix decided that playing TV series on shuffle was better for engagement, you'd really expect to hear no complaints?

numbers for a year aren't hugely useful. The issue is the concurrent rate, not the annual rate. I'm in Ireland - the numbers given on Wednesday were 15 ICU beds free nationwide, with 40% of beds being used by covid patients. An ea

That's always been my problem with this. For everything that timezones currently solve, they suggest using solar time instead. So time zones, with a new name. Currently we reference local time for most things, and UTC when coordinati

The way I've always understood this is that you can speak surprisingly bad English and still be understood. To a large extent you can just throw most of the right words in a sentence together and be largely understood - even if it sou

There's a fairly obvious application in pretty much any military theatre. GPS is vulnerable to spoofing, having a second source of truth lets you know you're even being attacked. Comparing an IDS to a GPS at least gives you a ca

The easiest way to understand is to picture if clearances didn't exist. If you had a requirement for certain material, someone would have to decide if you were safe, perhaps do background checks, get someone to vouch for you, etc. Cle

It works. Secure is being used as a verb and SSH is being used as a noun. Mozilla guidelines to verb noun.

My impression of the USN, and specifically submarines (from the outside looking in) is they're trained as primarily as nuclear engineers who just happen to have some rather awkward sleeping arrangements. It's very possible that th

Interesting, I didn’t know that was the flaw. The battery in mine lasted less than 3 months, so this doesn’t sound like a coincidence. It’s interesting seeing people sing the praises of the Micro, I treat it as a lesson learnt.

I feel like I repeat this every time it comes up, but I think it's important to note that Apple didn't "flip a switch that annihilated a $50b mobile advertising industry". They gave us the switch and we flipped it. If 9

That's what appears to be happening. The screen appears just a little taller than 16:10 - in windowed modes where the menubar is present, the menubar extends into this additional headroom. In fullscreen modes, the extra headroom just

That wouldn't be the Union Jack then, but a blue ensign (or whatever variation of the blue ensign Trinity House use). It is an odd quibble as another commenter put it - I guess being well-researched is exactly what makes pieces like th

Probably a lot less arrogant than it sounds. They probably share a whole lot of tooling between platforms. Emulation just isn’t in their skill set anywhere. Desktop is a niche for VMware, and Mac a niche within that. It seems pretty straigh

The biggest feature I miss is being able to download shows locally. It's not hugely hypothetical either - just putting the ipad app on the mac isn't a huge leap anymore, and would solve most of what I'd want.

I'm actually not a fan of it. Granted I've mostly driven older cars, without the wonders of ABS etc - but most situations that require heavy, unplanned breaking for me, are also times I really should have two hands on the wheel.
