Then you have to deal with regulations inside the country itself, I doubt its a free for all inside Egypt network wise.

I'd argue that the politics of encryption should be regarded as a stopgap in every country, not just western countries. Even Singapore sees value in encryption, and they aren't exactly supporters of free speech.

Perhaps integrating DNS tests and pinning DNS entries in Egypt would be a short term solution, but long term they may need to start bundling orbot with unique bridges.

Eh, you'd have to operate a server in the country, and TLS in and out of Egypt is MITMed and outright blocked in many areas from what I've seen when playing with VOIP over there.

I can't say this is surprising, I was talking about the potential of Signal to be blocked by regimes with my friends a few weeks back (both the initial verification text, and client to server communication), and here we are with Egypt

Eh, if you stick to specialty crops you might have a chance, I assume the long term plan is to pivot to Marijuana as it gets legalized in more states? At least in Wisconsin & Iowa, I know from family & friends that the smallest plot

So you hate civilized society and think companies should be able to do whatever they want?

Is it cheaper than classic farming, whereby you have 500 acres and grow a cash crop?

Eh, Lightsail is very stingy compared to competitors in the lowend market, and the CPUs & SSD space don't linearly scale which will deter many who forsee the need to scale their container as their needs grow. lowendtalk.com can sho

Sounds like they throttle you, then only give you excess resources after a certain point. Kinda kills the point of a server if it grinds to a near halt, the initial throttling is workable.

Your paying a private company to run ads for you and you are surprised when they kill your ads and refuse your money? Grow up, companies do this all the time in the advertising industry when their interest conflicts with that of their custo

Wow, how tone deaf of Uber "both cars running red lights were not part of the pilot and weren’t carrying customers.", I nor any other citizen gives a crap about whether there is a customer in your car, what is at issue is the safe

It is, hence why they got fined in the EU recently. That being said, so long as AMD & Via are still alive and producing x86-64 chips, they'll avoid the brunt of anti-competitive regulations.

I'm not saying that they have 4 to 5 full micro-architectures shelved (that'd be insane), but from talking to Intel Oregon people they do keep a deep stock that will buy them a few years. Think incremental improvements like you se

I dunno, I get people on IRC all the time using web clients, there aren't many hoops to jump through to get on it. You don't even have to register either.

HD Audio (G.722 & Opus) is essentially not supported outside internal networks sadly.

by trome 10y ago
That is Opus actually, it can conceal up to 30% packet loss from the user, versus traditional G.711 where you can hear 1% packet loss quite easily.

Just enough to keep going, but not enough to mass produce new chips without an order and cash from an OEM in hand.

After the Pentium 4 debacle, Intel Israel came up with the Core micro-architecture to replace it. Since then, Intel has built up a 4 to 5 year buffer of developed silicon so that if any generation or two is worse than their competitors, the

by trome 10y ago
Yeah, I wouldn't set your hopes that high, if that were the case Intel has 4 to 5 generations of silicon already prepped that they could start churning out in volume within 3 months. Comparatively, AMD has been building chips to order

It only makes sense for Cisco, ultimately it is just a moneygrab.

Humans generally look at it, make an informed guess and drive accordingly. The recent Tesla accident is a great example of how even the best optics can be blown out by environmental factors like sun, whereas a human would likely readjust th

Why should local municipalities foot the bill for adding beacons to stop lights, etc? I get trying to make infrastructure friendly towards self driving cars, but the general public should not be footing the bill for someone's life choi

Yeah, the yearly licensing is brutal, but it does encourage you to forklift it after a few years & upgrade.

I've got a pair of OG Nanostations going on 250 days uptime here, not the fastest, but in a rural area with no budget they still work decently.

Their AC APs are pretty power intensive, last time I tried them they were drawing well over 20 watts each, which would have required we replace our switches due to the power requirements.

Hah, was being sarcastic with the whole dirty Gnome user bit, no worries!

Sure, that is great, but even with prior generations of MacBooks dongles were a hinderance. I'd end up at the end of a conference with at least a couple mini-Displayport to VGA adapters from people who were presenting but forgot them f

Seems just fine on my 1080p 22" monitor, or on this 26" 2560x1600 monitor beside it. Then again I'm a dirty Gnome user on Debian, so perhaps my vanilaness is saving me. But even a few years ago on my last A8 & 1080P 15.6&
