   That's a great quote. Also, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

   If you can make a Mac Mini into an HTPC, you can follow some Youtube videos to replace a Hard Disk and RAM. It's just a few screws and a single cable.

   I thought the author had an older Mac Mini that would be upgradeable, since they were looking at buying the 2014 model.

   Why would anyone buy a Mac Mini and put Linux on it?! There are a million other small PCs that are far better for that. If I was going to buy a Mac Mini, it's to have an affordable Mac that I can stick somewhere in my house to run occa

   Yeah what the hell, how can you write a tech blog complaining about a product if you don't perform even the most basic of system maintenance. Or, if you are doing maintenance, why not explain what you are doing? Also, can't a Mac

   This is disgusting. To show such blatant disregard for civil liberties and human rights and a dozen other pinnacles of developed/western/first world countries is an affront to what we've accomplished and supposedly learned fr

   Thanks to the Carter Center here in Atlanta for hosting it as well! And all the foundations that pitched in.

   There's just so many things that could go wrong when you start trusting your web browser to access a password vault.

    I used to test and submit reports to AppDB back in the day, it's quite satisfying to add to that corpus.

    LastPass provides a web frontend though, which may be a feature GP is after. I mean, I think having a Web UI for your password manager is fucking insane, but some people like it.

    I can attest to MiniKeePass's quality. I've been using it for years now. I upload my keepass and key file to Dropbox (I know, I know) and then export them to MiniKeePass from the Dropbox app. MiniKeepass auto-associates the key fi

    I wonder how often those conversations take place before someone(s) fork a project because it's "abandoned". But I love KeepassX and I'll certainly try using the fork.

    I was using hyperbole to illustrate my point. I was worried someone might believe me if I made up a number under 100.

    But Apple makes (seemingly) no effort to encourage developers to allow limited location access. Why can't iOS be in charge of when an app uses my location when the app is backgrounded? The reminder only appears once per app, as far as

    If you can define a testing regimen that would have caught this issue, I'm sure Samsung would gladly pay you in suitcases of cash.

    Hey, you have to work really hard to pull that sorta stuff out of thin air.

    So you're just going to pull numbers out of your ass and not provide a single link to back up your claims? I can make up numbers too! Western Union fraud is actually 1035% of all of their transactions. Seriously.

    I'm not trying to have anonymous email, my personal email has my full name as the domain. I just want something that is encrypted and open-source. I give away my name and credit card info to plenty of websites. That won't help som

    Meh, I can always not renew it. I'm unlikely to be better off continuing to use Gmail in the meantime.

    Well, iTunes is made by Apple. It also doesn't require the kernel-level integration of Little Snitch. Firewalls are way more about the backend than the frontend. They are not very portable at all.

    My (non-expert) understanding is that, in general, the source code is going to be much more verbose than the machine-code output of a compiler. Considering that source code is written in a human-readable language and syntax, and machine cod

    Someone stealing IP and publicly releasing it doesn't change the IP rights of the original owner. This isn't a game of capture the flag. People who leak a film before it is released haven't removed the copyright of the film f

    Their point is that the compiled version of Chrome is barely half as big as all of Opera's source code. Meaning Chrome is very big.

    Sure, this could certainly leak some information, but it's hard to argue that this is a "backdoor".

    UDP is a Transport Layer protocol. NTP is an Application Layer protocol.
