The metadata service is a big issue. When you pair EC2 with common, off-the-shelf software, you can end up inadvertently allowing requests to EC2's metadata service. That allows an attacker to gain the same privileges as the EC2 inst

People want GitHub to fix their system. Epic also has annoying process whereby you have to join their GitHub organization to access certain free tools, which is why they have a GitHub group with 400k people in the first place. Edit: What gr

All of those 400k people were notified because the author tagged a group containing 400k people. For every comment, 400k emails went out. I never commented, but I received an email for every comment in that issue. The email queue was so bac

I just want to point out this gem from their agreement that covers the use of purchased—not rented—tools. Purchased. You paid the full price, you own the tools, and you agree not to use them on anything other than an Apple product. You’re

At least some of these tools are name brand. For example, the torque screwdrivers are Wera Kraftform Micro ESD pre-set torque screwdrivers. Apple sells them cheaper than anyone else, as far as I can tell—which is quite curious. Surely if yo

Something can be both expected and frustrating. Of course customers are going to be frustrated when prices go up, especially if there’s a lack of transparency surrounding the process. Companies don’t care about customers’ feelings, and cust

A transmission repair is not a normal repair you should expect to experience unless your car is quite old, though. I've never owned a new car, and I've never had a transmission die on me. By the time it's getting close to t

CD-ROMs typically don’t degrade. CD-Rs and such do. CD-ROMs have physical pits etched into the plastic, as do mass-produced DVDs and BDs. These advantages don’t apply to discs you produce yourself, however. It can happen, but it’s rare—not

I’ve considered it, but part of what’s nice about CD-ROMs is the convenience. I can click a button and have a fantastic archive in my mailbox the next day. For other people, it’s a method that doesn’t require any technical knowledge. Want

Archival. CD-ROMs last a long time, unlike magnetic media, SSDs, and CD-Rs. If I buy a CD-ROM, I know it’s going to outlive me. I often listen to artists who disappear—along with their libraries. Some produce actual CD-ROMs before disappear
