I prefer to say “shite removal” after the last half a decade. At least TPB adds value to peoples lives.

The big guys have too many layers of staff between the security guys and reality from experience.

If you’re overwhelmed seek comfort in the fact that if you do something then you have taken a step forward. Start with small reasonable things that take ten minutes. They give you the energy and motivation to do the big things. Eventually

My cousin went through a similar thing after a bad motorcycle accident. In his case his dreams were terrible creatures torturing him. I can imagine this sort of experience is where hell and heaven spawned from. He’s now absolutely fine and

I’m still shocked at how much of this crap is connected to insecure networks. Last time I dealt with PLCs which were used on an test automation line was over 20 years ago. And they were airgapped and I actually had to fly to the customer si

Been there done that. Good advice. In my case I could recreate the original file but it took 90 minutes to scrape the remote API to do it again...

Can you actually do an airgapped Windows install these days? I used to work in the defence sector in the days of Windows 2000 and that was easy but I have no idea how it works since. Our corporate stuff is all remotely managed with InTune a

When you feel you have to do this to a product you have to ask yourself if you should be using it in the first place.

It'll probably still work better than some of the insane and dubious things my Citrix customers manage to do to windows in the name of stability and privacy...

Same as if you have above 500 karma here and someone criticised Microsoft legitimately after Nadella arrived on the scene… I regularly throw accounts out in disgust at the political voting.

I don’t share the same memories. Working around commercial compilers was horrible. I actually preferred NT for a bit around then. Plus I could afford to buy a machine to run it at home. Early days of win32 were quite fun. I can see why it w

Agree with this. Who’d have thunk it that proprietary Unix on RISC is doing better on the desktop than ever though! https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3678.htm

That’s pretty standard across everything. The moment you do stuff because you enjoy it and not to get paid or satisfy other people then your quality of life goes up. This is why I get paid to do something I hate (software eng) and live a qu

It comes off. And you can get them to replace it in an apple store. I think this is mixed messaging to be honest.

Yes you can. You need to use Configurator to do it. It has been confirmed by iFixit. It’s the same as the Mac Pro was: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210626 . You can’t just swap a disk. You have to actually re-pair

Russia isn’t the only player on the board. There’s a whole load of sabre rattling from China which military leaders have been warning about for years. This is some leverage to build a defence strategy against them and other actors too. Plus

Err the monitor has a user replaceable power cord. I have one and removed it fine. It’s different because an IEC lead won’t fit in the design envelope. Even the stand can be replaced. The SSD is also a misnomer. The influencers couldn’t put

Nuclear: Everything apple, preferably iOS where possible and locked down if required. Everyone else: not my circus, not my monkey. I have done zero or little past basic configuration and have had no issues or surprises.

We never got a straight answer from AWS. We now run an instance in another region and account and rdiff-backup to it.

Ex C++ dev and ex JIRA admin. They are the same class of complete bananas.

Lost an EBS snapshot on AWS once. The only way to provide some assurance in this space is to make sure your data is stored in more than one physically and commercially separate location.

Yep. The iPhone 13 Pro bokeh is miserably bad. On point sources, you're lucky if you can get any out of it and if you do it's got a hole in the middle. Example here: https://imgur.com/a/cPG3YSP

They did. And they kept rewriting it, reimagining it and breaking it every damn release.

Yeah. They chassis and bulkhead is made of steel though. This tends to rust very quickly when bonded to aluminium parts.

Not really. The wolfs suck. 24v electrics and stripped bare of everything even remotely nice. And yes they go rusty too. They mostly tend to survive in desert climates longer as they are surrounded by desiccants and clever engineers who can

You won’t find it until your foot goes through something or something falls off. I had a 1990 defender 90 which was 8 years old and the bulkhead was invisibly rotten in various places. That got very expensive very quickly. A friend has a mo
