The people who say faxes are easier than email are like the old mechanics who complain about how EFI is complicated and carbs were so much simpler. It's not actually any better, just a lot of people learned how to use it 20 years ago a

As the other response notes, any kind of flashing screen issues relate to the 10NES lockout chip not communicating properly with the cartridge. Disabling the 10NES would solve the flashing part, but if you're getting it with a solid c

PFS doesn't prevent inspection of traffic, it just makes passive capture more complicated since you now need to log the ephemeral keys for each connection rather than just using the private key to decode the whole package. Not necessar

It is very safe as long as people have lane discipline. Which is to say slow drivers keep the fuck to the right. See Germany for examples. Unfortunately here in America a lot of slow shitheads have an entitlement complex and think that any

AFAIK the resale of software regardless of EULA restrictions has been declared legal in some European countries. They're not necessarily legit in the US, but we're not everywhere. Also even in the US, if you're a home user t

Back in college I did exactly this. It was 2004, I couldn't afford a data plan, but my school had a dialup service for resnet and I had free nights+weekends on my cell phone. I spent a lot of family RV trips in the passenger seat wit

Ugh, same problem as all the other "open phone" designs, absolute garbage tier hardware. At least they're pricing it somewhat reasonably, but come on, give us some actual performance. 2.4GHz-only WiFi shouldn't even be a

Yeah, but the Mini has half the sample rate AND half the channels. That's a quarter of the capability for half the price. I'm also kind of salty that they dropped the MicroUSB variant of the full-size model. The Mini makes sen

Call in a couple of ham radio operators who like to foxhunt and they should be able to point you in the general direction of the problem within minutes. If the effects are as localized as they say it should be able to be pinpointed within

Requires a SD card containing an updated bootrom on Pi 2. Pi 3 has the update bootrom but needs a bit flipped in OTP to enable the feature. Pi 3B+ has network and USB booting enabled out of the box.

Pi 2 requires a permanent SD card as its built-in bootloader does not support network booting. It does not support USB booting. Pi 3 B has support for both USB and network booting in its bootloader, but they are disabled by default. They

Those things are not mutually exclusive. PSC2s are optional on a lot of high performance vehicles and in many cases standard with the top performance package. They are also pretty much as close to a slick tire as you can get without comprom

I'm 100% behind banning WSJ and all other paywalled links, or at least having a highly visible (and preferablly filterable) flag, but it's a real stretch to call an archive.is link "copyright infringement" and make a mor

Exactly. DNS-based blocking is basically using an oversize hammer to drive nails. It works in some cases, but eventually you're going to run in to either false positives or false negatives depending on how it's configured. It&#x

You are definitely wrong. No daemons have to be running, ping operates using standard ICMP echo messages that are a part of any complete IP stack. Any meaningful OS will respond to pings unless prevented from receiving them by a firewall.
