A drill press is more dangerous (rotating tools can get clothes/gloves/hair caught in them), and less effective. Bending the platters is, in practice, irrecoverable due to the sheer amount of data that's impossible to read i

Destroying the metal casing means the whole disk takes about 10 seconds to destroy, and doesn't require a "stomp on a screwdriver" step that OSHA may not approve of. Your procedure absolutely makes sense if you have a single-

> How is this cheap? It's $900 + inverters for 10 kWh. A Tesla Powerwall 2 (14 kWh) is $10k (inverter included). I doubt the inverters cost more than $1k.

I wonder how often such attempts backfire ("well, they're going to cut what is useful for me anyways, so why should I vote to give them any money?").

Even before CT, policies generally trusted the CA to not backdate. Of course a CA could try that, but if caught, all certificates, including previous ones, would be treated as invalid, so it worked.

Apologies, I let the title ("injecting") mislead me. I assume it's a multitude of factors: - poachers/smugglers would need to know about this before they get caught (doesn't save that rhino, but adds friction to s

I've often seen cash handling costs listed as around 3%, which is likely why CC fees were so high - it was still not a terrible enough deal for stores to start avoiding it.

My bank telling Facebook that I'm their customer is a breach of privacy. If you care about ethics not law, it's none of Facebook's business to know who I bank with. If you don't care about ethics, only law as written, it

Much more entertaining: Get the list of advertisers. Find the ones who aren't allowed to share your data with Facebook, e.g. due to lack of consent or because they're bound by professional secrecy (e.g. banks or health related thi

I assume one of the goals of this is to change that by making it feasible for US companies to compete at least on the domestic market. Ukraine has shown that having domestic at-scale consumer drone production is a critical military capabili

Arbitration is great for companies for multiple reasons: - it avoids costly class actions in "big" cases - it avoids costly discovery in "big" cases - it avoids sky-high damages claims in extreme cases - it allows small

From my understanding, small claims court in the US can be particularly effective because sending a company representative there costs more than just refunding the product. However, I suspect that if something breaks out of warranty, you do

Why ask for a repair at that point? At that point, demand the purchase price back.

The keyword is "used to". They no longer have it, so they can't fall back to it. Of course they could, and would, go back to shouting numbers, but there's a reason they introduced a pager system. It'd likely slow th

Bundle subscriptions would make a lot of sense. I'd pay $10/month to access "the news". I'm not going to pay $10/month to access 1% of the news. At the same time, $10/month is more money than the $0/m

I honestly appreciate the decision to not release the code ("I’m not going to be publishing this code since I can’t think of a good use anyone would have for this besides folks using a low cost SDR and annoying local resturants").

The flip side of this is that making a store harder/slower to navigate makes it more frustrating. Classic examples would be escalators: They can be arranged in an alternating pattern so you can enter the next "up" escalator a

Yes, I would consider that indication that a human looked at it. Unfortunately, for many bugs (not kernel related) I have never seen such an indication.

There is a bit of a self-reinforcing effect going on: If I spend the 2-3 hours required to write a good bug report, and I see no indication that any human even looked at that work, I'll be less likely to put that effort in. After

For some cases, your local small claims court may be an efficient escalation path. If enough people do it, companies will learn that too much stonewalling doesn't actually save money, because now your customer support is done by the le

The problem is that you have to have working IPv4 in some form, because enough major sites (e.g. Twitter, Wordpress, Github, Pintrest, Vimeo, bit.ly, TikTok, Tumblr, the New York Times, but also mozilla.org and Archive.org) don't sup
