Investing a sizeable chunk of your savings is gambling. In a couple of years you will know whether it was a good idea or not. And some so-called experts will tell you, that's what we said. And some other so-called experts will be very

I have used that "insecure" system for 20 years. However, over the time I added additional several additional obfuscation levels, especially for accounts with monetary value. And then there are of course site password rules that f

It's nearly 20 years but British Airlines had this in a covert way at least on domestic flights: I tried to book for 2 adults and 1 child and got "no seats". When you entered 3, 4, 5 adults seats were available. As a father I

A standup every morning? To my experience 10% of software developers think 7 am is morning, 60% something between 9 and 10. 30% not before 11 or 12. The first and the last group tend to be the most productive ones. Forcing all of them to me

Why would it let smoke out? I doubt a C64 has any power management. So whether it idles or boots Linux via a couple of emulation layers, the thermal load will be exactly the same.

Microsoft implementation is vulnerable to eavesdropping as the submitted article shows. systemd would be vulnerable to MITM, but you don't MITM the SPI bus with some $100 hobbyist tooling.

Interesting, your passport cannot contain an ø (in the machine readable part). What is the allowed character set for names on a credit card?

That would be better for the planet anyway. Disclaimer: Not a joke. I've never owned a car.

Partly. But if you have queued for Finnish healthcare you know that the problem is real.

Finland is not "economy class". Taxes are rather high, the fees in the public health care system are high in European scale, too. But the standards are not. So you pay parts of your mandatory "economy class ticket", but
