So they were able to connect to the prison network, look through the state prison database using these computers and issue security passes to gain access to restricted areas. I think the prison needs to get someone to look at the security o

I don't agree. I find their Portege models are still brilliant.

The depreciation is mostly because of the vast volumes of company leases ending. Despite the fairly high reliability of thwir thinkpads, you can easily get good deals on second hand models.

I don't mean that kind of branding, I mean the kind of rebranding where for example the take the same chip that's in a GTX 680, and re-release it as a GTX 770.

I actually ordered one of those a couple of hours ago :) I tried ordering one before but the 3D printer operator said the design was unprintable. Does it make the device easier to use? Is it comfortable to type and play on now?

I second Brave! It's pretty fast, they have some smart security people on board to prevent them from making dumb mistakes (though that doesn't mean there can't be security flaws, obviously). Best of all, it's open source

PICO-8 is not by the people behind PocketCHIP, it's just bundled with it. PICO-8 is available for desktop platforms as well, it is not open-source, and there's a 3D version as well, called the Voxatron. Both are really cool projec

I have a PocketCHIP, and it's awesome, but the game controls are terrible unfortunately.

I've worked for a couple of multinationals as a contractor and I have to say it varies wildly from company to company. My current employer has a very clearly and unambiguously worded one-page NDA with rules that make sense and don&#x2

No doubt that would be against their ToS and they would stop serving you. Besides, hiding ads is not the same as preventing ads from being loaded. Enterprise and government customers are often concerned about data leaking out through advert

It's possible that other systems did the same. I think the impact of Microsoft's decision to use this labeling is by far the greatest, though, given the spread and popularity of Windows for the past 25-30 years.

2^10 = Kilo ~ 10^3 2^20 = Mega ~ 10^6 2^30 = Giga ~ 10^9 2^40 = Tera ~ 10^12 This is wrong - power-of-two magnitudes are called kibi-, mebi-, gibi- and tebibytes. Kilo, Mega, Giga and Tera are prefixes used by the SI u

Yes, but most other platforms don't have the same level of vibrant public discussions. On things like Facebook, discussions are mostly between friends or "friends of friends", with no chance of an outside opinion, for instanc

I consider "everyone can read everything" one of the most important parts of Twitter. I wouldn't use Twitter if it was limited to people I already know, for instance.

Doesn't using a VPN make you liable in two jurisdictions instead of just one? (The exit point of the tunnel, and the location where you are actually connecting to the VPN) I understand that it is technically more challenging to detect

In Dell's Belgian shop at least, you can pick every memory config for the Precisions with or without ECC, provided you have picked a Xeon CPU as well.

How so? Mobile chips are based on the same architecture, aren't they? They often lag behind or are cut down (fewer pipelines, lower clocks) for lower power consumption, but they aren't entirely different designs as far as I can te

Exactly. They just want their problem solved, they don't care about understanding the underlying system. It's not even about not wanting to listen, it's about the amount of information they have to absorb to understand the pr
