I feel like driving a car from "the cloud" is just asking for trouble, surely no one's planning on doing that right? Maybe a-sync updates like where the geofence should be, or new software would be fine but not something real

I've noticed longer transition times between towers, but while connected I can pull down a lot more data so the impact on streaming is fairly minimal for me so long as my "buffer" doesn't run out too soon.

At my local stadium, which holds something like 40-50k people I have no issues with mobile throughput. However the whole stadium as of 4 years ago is now full of small cells with maybe a dozen or so in each "section" so I'd

I used to feel like this person, and I'd find myself alternating between burnout and enthusiasm every few months as project work ebbed and flowed. Going between the two peaks was exhausting and every crash back down to burnout felt hor

I'm not a huge fan of app stores in general, but I have to give Apple credit for these articles they do. Never too long, high quality and interesting ones like this come along semi-regularly especially the design-centric ones. I'v

That was my thinking as well, and assuming they're still cloud-heavy (it's been years since I've checked) this could potentially be an expensive event for them. That opens up a very interesting for of protest/attack that

With that kind of service you'd be signing a contract that guarantees you internet and cable within whatever level of service you've both agreed on (residential, business etc). You're explicitly being charged for both service

They shouldn't be proud of accomplishing things that force unreasonable demands onto others.

You pay for other services (or devices in the case of pixels) and happen to get the VPN as well. AFAIK there is no way to directly pay for just the VPN. Point being, there's not currently any extra "VPN-only" revenue and no

Back when I first looked at them 5 years or so ago, they were trying to sell me "hyperconverged infrastructure" which was basically just a thoughtfully designed blade chassis. Their software seemed very nice, kind of a software-de

That seems like a crazy number. I work at a company with not a heap more than that and we have just as many if not more software products + HEAPS of wildly different hardware + RnD for all kinds of things + retail and ecomm.

And it generally needs dedicated people to work JUST on Sharepoint to get it in a nice state, and that's generally in addition to any knowledge management type staff you have.

Nope, I'll be dead so I'm not interested in creating an ongoing security hole for myself to worry about while I'm still alive. Important things like banks already have next-of-kin covered, insurance is sorted out etc.

Every generation of hardware they support, is another generation they have to test and QA their new stuff on. And then if they're pushing software updates for it that creates the expectation that the Apple Stores will be supporting the

It's a simple case of trend spotting - multiple terminations and the only common factor is the candidate. Either they've just happened to have picked a whole bunch of bad employers, or there is some complication/issue with th

I'd be willing to bet their data shows only some fraction of their Mac Pro buyers actually max out the RAM, so they're fine with discarding that group in favour of the majority.

Enough to do in terms of work that is directly assigned to me/my team; no not always. Enough to do in terms of stuff I've found that needs doing; always. I guess I'm lucky to have a degree of autonomy that lets me shape a per

Yeah its super easy to set up, but the biggest reason you would want to use it in addition to other adblocking stuff is that it works outside of browsers - you can block telemetry from your smart lights, you can stop a random app on your ph

Personally I still use NextDNS to help me kill ads on mobile, and also keep a tighter leash on my various IoT devices. You can block more than just ads with it and it also gives you interesting data, hard to beat for less than the price of

Oh yeah 100% - I got the chance to try one out at an old job and I could immediately see why the idea would work. But yeah just too early, long before we had the ability to make it "nice".

The problem with re-playing an old game I think is that it's already "solved". There's no sense of adventure or mystery any more, and it just becomes a race to accomplish whatever objectives the player base comes up with

It's also worth looking around your local area for auction houses selling old hardware, a lot of ex-gov and ex-enterprise hardware gets sold off at these places for pocket change.
