Aesthetically, absolutely love it. In reality I would never want this type of hardware... It reminds me of the old boat anchor bladecenter rigs we used to use. They were great, up until you had to replace one of the blades after the support

It's fun sticking a Geiger counter inside a uranium glass bowl and watching the CPM tick up... Really unnerves people. We fear radiation way more than we should, going outside and being exposed to the sun is way more dangerous than lic

Thinkpad X280, i7 quad w/ 16G memory and 500G SSD. It was on clearance since the model is a couple years old, but holy crap this thing is fast. And so much lighter than the last system I owned with a fast quad core (4-5 KG). My last co

The Amish/Mennonites have an interesting take... Some of them are 'allowed' to drive cars, as long as they're black base models and are "modest" and largely utilitarian. There are also rules about which types o

When I was younger, I inherited a lot of old PC hardware from my father. One particular motherboard had a massive gouge through the heatsink for the southbridge, and I could never figure out why. One day, I was trying to get Mac OSX to run

I think something was borked in the config/sqlite db a few updates ago when the 'native' auth parts were added. I was bitten with the same bug. Nuking the `.config/1Password` directory and re-adding my account seemed to

There are also surveillance blimps, which I believe would be closest to a real-time feed. Some can apparently stay up for 30 days at a time. These have been tested for domestic intelligence, and radar (rather than optical) systems have been

I was unable to find any useful information on the web about this vulnerability. The question on many minds is whether using a reverse proxy or layer 7 loadbalancer is sufficient protection for IIS servers exposed to the internet. Most of t

As somebody who's not that familiar with how financial institutions handle fraud/money laundering detection, is it possible for ransomware to have become so prevalent without cryptocurrencies? I know HSBC was in the news a few yea

The exact same thing happening to the grid is almost inevitable at this point. A complete grid collapse would take months to recover from. Not to say fuel infra shutdowns are bad, but a complete grid failure is far, far worse.

The government absolutely has the authority to mandate safety measures. Corporations don't have the right to violate users' privacy and security, I see this as completely fair.

Doesn't this encourage reddit-like power users that have multiple people operating the account? Look at any of the 1M+ karma accounts and you'll see what I mean. As soon as there's money involved I expect this to get even wor

Canada has a long and shameful history of our innovations being screwed up or screwed over. In the 50s our fighter/interceptor was leagues better than the US's jets, but crooked politicians killed the project. In the 70s our CANDU

There is no such thing as a lock. There are only timers accelerated by skilled attackers. Same goes for encryption. Your AES-256 is great today, fine tomorrow, and probably broken in 10 years.

Defence in depth. It's not a buzzword anymore, but the principals hold up. Basically, each component in your threat model should have no less than two controls to protect it. Assume that 'active' systems (antivirus etc) can a

Indeed. We're now over 12 hours without service. I'm sure this is having a severe impact on essential 'gig' industries that are heavily reliant on cell data such as Uber or Instacart.
