I've used DDG full-time for over two years now. I honestly don't miss Google. Every time I use !g I'm reminded just how bad it's gotten. Between the SEO spam and ads I find myself scrolling at least halfway down the page

The provider I use is https://voip.ms The UI takes some getting used to but the service is cheap and works great. Similar to how I did it, you'd need an ATA box to provide analog service to the phone, and it would talk to

It's not a question of property damage, this is the great foretold National Security Emergency. We've spent twenty years giving up our privacy for this. If you want to bring up costs, it's only fair to call into question the

No, because they are not equal threats. A dangerous terror cell, which has already invaded the US Capitol, is now threatening to bomb critical infrastructure. If this was the Taliban you wouldn't be asking this question.

I used a RB750Gr3/hEX router for nearly a year, and I wasn't terribly impressed by the software. The hardware seemed neat, but even as somebody very familiar with routing & switching I found the UI to be rather obtuse. The oth

I resisted for a long time, but after finding that there is no good home router that doesn't have major security drawbacks I decided to just build my own [1]. It's a bit of a chore to set up but works better than any off-the-shelf

Another commenter mentioned DMA, so I'll expand on that. If the device has only USB, network, and display outputs, not a lot. Modern systems are pretty hardened with this config. However, if it has Thunderbolt, ExpressCard, PCMCIA, or

Once untrusted, never trusted. Everthing in that building that plugs into the wall should be discarded and with a known good device. That includes network infrastructure and even cabling. Between this and the recent SUNBURST fiasco, there a

I started switching people over 3-4 years ago. My strategy was to wait for people to need help with their phone, then casually install it there (with their permission) after I had fixed whatever was wrong with it. I've found that peopl

Maxing out 'politeness', 'acceleration', and 'inflow' I could achieve nearly 7000veh/hr. Probably impossible, since it would cause heaps of rear ending accidents. Maybe if driver assist features both preve

What I want is a social network you have to pay for. Make it $2.50/month, and make everything order by 'created date' (ie no magic sorting algorithm). Then, every quarter after the hosting bills are paid put whatever's l

I've used Jmeter quite a bit over the last year, and what seems to be the largest issue is that it doesn't "break" apps because it works at the protocol level and isn't a full "browser". As you increase lo

I don't see any _new information_ here, it's all stuff we've known for months. To me, this is just a conspiracy theory wrapped up with 'probability charts'. Unless I'm missing something, is there any non-circum

Time to air one of my most controversial opinions: I think transporting LNG by train is good. Hear me out. When you build a pipeline, it's good for exactly one thing. An LNG pipeline won't do for anything else, not even other type

Yes, it is a very old story and that's specifically why I chose to highlight it. Consumer electronics are rarely about 'the best' chips, just the ones that work. Intel may not be the leader technology wise, but they have the

That's absolutely true, at least historically, but unfortunately it's not the full picture. Take for example the 'Ultrabook' branding. It's an Intel trademark, and for a few years that word was _everywhere_. However

Somebody who doesn't wear a seat belt can't cough on you in public and make you die in a car accident. You can't catch overdoses by breathing too much near a heroin addict. This isn't a time for using whataboutisms.
