Two basic principles will take you far with regards to AWS security: 1. Avoid long lived credentials (access key/secret key pairs) and IAM users whenever possible, and instead have everything assume roles for access to resources in the

I'm very encouraged by Intel's entry into this market. The fact that they seemed to target the area once occupied by the xx50 and xx60 cards is great

Very much in the same boat. I like the Steam Deck for the fact that it provides suspend/resume functionality to my PC games, which is useful with my limited time now that I'm older and have a kid.

It has definitely made me question how often I want to upgrade my PC or if I even want to going forward. Feel like there is a limit to how much I want to spend to play video games and this is starting to get pretty far away from it

Yes, this is what I meant. I would say that for over half the demos I gave, that was my last time talking to that prospect. For the rest, some of them would go a few more meetings and fizzle out, and some would convert to actual sales.

Wanted to reply to this as somebody's who bounced between pre-sales and engineering roles in the past. For #1, what is most likely happening is that they are trying to maximize the use of the pre-sales engineer's time. I can'

I still willingly make sequence diagrams to fully document what is happening in a complex system or architecture. I find them to be very useful to get everybody on the same page for the "order of events". The class diagrams were

I see more and more people getting into this mindset. They want a little more openness than what Apple provides, but they want a little more structure and direction than Android. I really do wonder what would happen if Microsoft made a fork

GameFAQs was necessary in a time of dial-up modems. The guides were just plain text documents that were tiny and downloaded quickly. The site design was basic and not overly flashy. The forums were a "go-to" spot for any game that

Had to move off of Edge to Brave a few weeks back after sticking it out longer than I should have. I really liked Edge on both Windows and macOS but they keep adding stuff that I don't want to the browser.

Google's mistake was not choosing to go with a Game Pass type model - but then again, they didn't have the content as they have had to work to get each of the games offered running on Linux. It's why they have had to pay mill

I have been trying to figure out a better workflow for grabbing websites or PDFs, marking them up, and storing them as notes, either by themselves or in something like Craft or Obsidian to reference later. I'm not sure this really move

This reminds me that they also had a US version of Skins that I think I saw the pilot (or a clip of it) somewhere and thought it was awful. There’s some jokes in the IT Crowd that are clearly for the home audience (the fire extinguisher tha

Isn't that what the author was saying though? These "affordable" private jets were really not providing the perks of a private jet; they were essentially just chartering a standard plane.

I first tried it with my iPhone and iPad last year and wasn’t impressed. They supposedly did some big update in the spring as well as lord of optimization work for Edge on the Steam Deck, where it feels great.

I agree with you, but the rise of anti-cheat protection is correlated with the decline of community management of multiplayer titles. Most games now rely entirely on matchmaking playlists managed by a "live service" team, whereas
