I think the pay is terrible because this type of work is now mostly being done in parts of the world where labour costs are lower than the US. For example, I was working with a device that came with a SoC from a large American/global S

Press Alt when you're near where the window handle would be and then you don't have to find the 1 pixel border.

An interesting number would be how many GCM/APN devices are registered in the matrix.org sygnal server. All of the Matrix/Riot users I know use private, non-federated home servers, but still rely on the project's Sygnal serve

The cases aren't meant to be opened. I followed some guides on YouTube. Most require using a saw and really sharp knife.

I've tried rebuilding the battery for an x220 twice and both times the battery case ended up too damaged to be used. I'm about to fork over $100+ for my forth battery for this machine.

I'm going to keep using mine until my place of work forces me off. It's such a nice device and there is no app I need that doesn't work on it.

I have a single non-federated synapse server with 10 users and 25 client devices, and the python process is using 135MB (RES in top). Load average is 0.00. There's 2 main rooms and probably around 10 chats. The homeserver.db is 26M

Yes, ice is by far the worst part. You have to pick your route to avoid it. I'm lucky enough to have a mostly cleared or packed paths in my neighborhood.

I've never worn any kind of mask. I grew up in this weather, so maybe I'm used to. I was just in the Caribbean for a holiday. I tried running in +27 C weather with 70% humidity and I felt like I was suffocating.

Running in the cold is great. I run outside until it gets below -20 deg C. Some thermal tights and a few layers on top is all you need. It took me quite a few years to finally just give it a try and now I actually prefer running in the win

I'm a Matrix patreon supporter because I see it as one of the most important OSS projects currently and I have my entire extended family using it via a self-hosted server. Push notifications via GCM or APN all also centralized, correct

I have Hikvision cameras, but they are on their own private lan with no Internet connection. These things phone home by default and disabling that functionality is kind of buried in the web interface.

I use a similar application to reverse binaries of proprietary software we legally purchase and use. The vendor is sometimes unable or unwilling to document how something actually works or how something could work if it was configured in a

If you're looking for a gui for radare2, https://github.com/hteso/iaito has worked well for me so far. Despite the warnings about it being highly unstable, I spent 4 hours in it reversing an arm binary and it wor

This is simple advice, but was effective for me after some practice. For months, I had to fall asleep listening to podcasts because my brain would be thinking about work. I just couldn't shut it off. I decided I couldn't live tha

I won't disagree that the KeyOne seems expensive. What never seems to get brought up in any conversation that compares the price of devices is the included and future software updates. I don't know what exactly BlackBerry has com

It doesn't matter if it's coax/RF or IP. Bell and Telus' IPTV services are currently zero-rated because they're broadcast services and subject to all the same regulations as a traditional cable TV service.

I've been working on IPTV systems for 10+ years. As a result, I can't sit and watch TV because that's like working. Sometimes months will go by and I haven't watched a single 30 minute TV show. Unfortunately, my time i

It's true. The average and mundane company I work for has been sued more than once using patents from the late 90's/early 2000's. The patents are extremely broad and don't describe anything unique. I've spe

I've been using Vector/Riot using the Android version in F-Droid on Blackberry 10 for 6-9 months, connecting to my own server on my DSL. I haven't noticed a single issue with battery or lost messages.

To me, that just makes you more suspicious. Last time I had to cross borders CAN/USA/MEX, I just popped my SIM in an old Blackberry Q10 and connected it to a lightly-used email account. Made a few calls and texts in the days lea

Like Project Vault that was made public at IO in 2015. It looked very promising. From an outsider's perspective, it looks like Mudge left Google a month later, then the project died. I hope there's more to the story because wha
