This has been common knowledge since Apple started selling Macbooks with SSDs. They simply refuse to do anything about it unless you can prove that it's not working. I'd shortcut the SSD if that didn't mean being without my l

You have no idea what kind of performance you'll get with an Apple SSD. My almost brand new Macbook Pro has the worst SSD I've ever used, we're talking sequential speeds comparable to a hard drive. But it still works, so they

I can't believe I didn't think of the Chromebox when researching for a good device. They look perfect for the job, and a lot cheaper too since you don't have to get DDR3L memory.

I can warmly recommend the Gigabyte Brix GB-BXBT-2807 to anyone looking for a completely fanless, quick, and fully supported device. As of OpenELEC 5.0 wireless and bluetooth has been working out of the box. They're on the expensive si

You're not allowed to bring any electronic devices into a secure area. Period. That means, watches, phones, laptops, pedometer and just about anything that has circuits.

They are regular consumer drives. They are even markedet and priced as that. They don't even have super capacitors, which more and more consumer drives are coming equipped with standard these days.

The problem is that we're mixing encryption and authentication in one bag. Somehow we've managed to teach every non tech-savvy users to be more scared of a self-signed certificate than browsing the very same page unencrypted.

I was just using MySQL as a hypothetical example, as they listen on all interfaces by default with packages supplied by Oracle. Next time you're on a tech conference, do a scan on the local network. My point was that by his standard he

I don't really think they get better connectivity. If you can establish a connection from the inside things works as intended for basically everything. Peer-to-peer is a little different. Personally I find it a little scary that we all

While having an unique address per application can be cool, I don't like the premise that this is used as some sort of security layer. We have firewalls. We know how they work and how to implement them well. For all intents and purpose

People who take their lives do it because they feel like that is the only thing they still have control over. You can't even put yourself in that mindset even if you truly wanted, which makes it a little strange to make such a statemen

What you are describing exists: XMPP [0]. Good luck getting it to integrate with video calling for, say, Skype or Google Hangout. They don't want that, they want users to be in their domain. All that said, XMPP is not perfect. [0] htt

There seems to have been a cultural shift in the United States as of lately. Just a few years back most companies was afraid of "choosing" side, and kept things pretty neutral. But look at recent Disney movies and Coca-Cola commer

There has actually been problems with that, there was a bug with Citrix XenServer [0] where the CPU would, if left on idle for a long time, step down and turn off more or less all cores, which resulted in a locked up and unresponsive host.

Don't backup or copy your private key. Should you lose your private key or it gets compromised you generate a new one and issue new certificates. And naturally also revoke your previous certificates. And before you start pushing out SS

The carriers should be required to tell the customer the total price, including the contract. Perhaps then the consumers would know what they are signing up to. And the contract length should be limited, given how volatile and fast moving t

I'd love to see what laws you're breaking, as that would be at the level of "thought police". How do you know he's helping criminals, is Tor and hidden services just used by criminals in your mind? Yes - he broke th

A listing shouldn't take you out of Ebay. It's that simple. Ebay needs to fix this issue, yesterday. Non-tech savvy users don't always know what to look for, especially not when they're following what should be legitimat

Yeah - or almost F2P. You can get AAA titles for $10-15, so they're almost there already. I think they've realised that releasing often is much more profitable. People are more inclined to pay a little fee many times, than one big

Knowing EA there is always a catch. I'm pretty sure that they just want to push more downloadable content on to you, and start releasing less and less complete games. Just look at the Battlefield-series, you have to buy four individual

Good that it's pretty easy to change elastic search provider with little downtime. I'd recommend checking out found.no. We've been pleased with performance and stability. Heck - I can't recall any downtime at all.

I think this deserves a reply. First of all, the child welfare system is not allowed to disclose why they take the children, so naturally you get a very one sided view of all stories. Scandinavian countries are culturally /very/ d

We have a love/hate-relationship, but speaking as a Norwegian, being honest and not just wanting to stick it to those damn swedes, I think there is some truth to it. I've always looked at both Stockholm and Copenhagen as more cult

You can change contrast, brightness and such in most modern OSes, but I'd rather have people take it into account and choose colours wisely. The problem for most colour-blind people is contrast, not the colours them self. I can't

It's pretty common to do MRI-scanning when you're being diagnosed for any kind of mental disorders, just to rule out the possibility of brain damage.
