The wharf? Suddenly that name made sense when linking about the heritage and the dock. TIL I guess.

Autism is the reason for the symptoms. The symptoms can also be reduced by masking.

What is your definition of safe? You are now tainting your domain with whatever they end up serving on that sub-domain.

I often think about this article[1] from the Register that claim that the Paion MX5 was the last computer built by one team hardware and software. [1]: https://www.theregister.com/2007/06/26/psion_special/

You are wrong and right. Wrong because continuous improvement is not about making a vehicle only survive a 3-5 year warranty period. Right because the master of continuous improvement have a 10 year warranty (20000 km, 12500 miles) where I live if you do service at a dealership or authorised service centre and I think this extended warranty influence the decisions about what minimum level of quality the manufacturer will accept.

No VoLTE uses a dedicated bearer (network interface) in the LTE stack. Not the one used for data. Different bearers can have different priorities/QCI (like QoS). In a congested LTE network VoLTE should provide a better experience than VOIP on a lower priority bearer.

I thought DVD only supported 4:3 anamorphic video with non square pixels for the correct playback aspect ratio.

No, the point of enabling TRIM is to not induce further write amplification. The zeroing is deferred until the block that is trimmed is over written. It is released from the indefinite garbage collection that exists in a pure SSD implementation that does not know what blocks are important. Some firmwares answers with nothing when requesting a TRIMed block. Others answer with the content of the block as it is on NAND. Either way, the bits are most likely still on NAND.

With the aforementioned Taildrop you do not have to trust Tailscale with your data.

My bet is that they used native code and an emulator for a lot of the effects.

Isn’t the server still centralized but at the side of the browser vendor instead?

The main issue is not having a normal watch that is not a bunch of pixels. I love my G-shock and Seiko mechanical watch and as a bonus they are far better at telling the time.

Somehow, this really resonates with me. I have used an Apple Watch off and on the last three years. While I have no problem keeping it charged, doing so is still a chore. When I wake up, I remove my iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch from the charger. Some mornings it feels like my sole purpose in life is to dress myself in technology and while keeping the various integrated batteries topped off. I got the watch for the fitness functions and because I love technology. And the fitness functions are really good, closing rings have had me exercise more than I would otherwise. The problem I have with the Apple Watch is that it makes it really awkward to wear a real watch, one of the few pieces of jewellery that I as a feel confident wearing. Double wristing is not for me. It is a marvellous piece of technology can be really useful, but it limits me more than it enables me.

In the late 90s sometimes the mp3 files I got sounded awful and there was a little utility for windows named “uncook.exe” that would restore the original sound. It must have been because of some encoding error or mime error in the transfer to or from server. I was too young to know what it was but Uncook often worked to fix this.

No, the 12V battery, the hybrid battery and the combustion engine all need to work for the vehicle to function.

Until you wear out your TLC / QLC NAND chips. Then the whole computer is e-waste.

No

The single-threaded nature of WPA2 AES-CCMP-128 is the reason (in addition to not wanting to embed known weak security protocols). The higher speeds and later standardization of Wi-Fi 6E (as compared to Wi-Fi 6) made this, in my opinion, a reasonable trade-off.

For Wi-Fi to survive, it must bring improvements in security protocols /and/ user experience (speed, coverage, and ease of setup). While I agree that security configuration should ideally not be tied to the physical characteristics of the link, security tends to lag, and the driver is user experience. So, if we want to have a high baseline of security, we have to tie it to the driver, the craving for a better user experience (higher speed and better spectrum utilization).

Good standards make trade-offs in the right places (both in time and space). Dumb standards miss the goal. I cannot say that this is a dumb standard when it is evident that trade-offs have to be made. Using WPA2 would have impacted cost of equipment, performance and security negatively.

It also makes it harder to roam between 6/5/2.4 networks.

Dumb spec? There are fundamental limits in this world. Some things are simply mutually exclusive. A dump spec IMO would be a spec that does not acknowledge this.

I always loved the Solaris Nimbus GTK theme. It was one of the most polished GTK2 themes around. https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1080244

It seems that in this case the performance per watt is essentially the same. There is no point in rushing to sleep if perf per watt is constant, you will only end up giving the chip a higher amperage and loosing even more to heat in the power delivery (internal battery resistance, traces and power supply). The slower cooler phone will perform as well and also deliver better sustained performance over time as the peak burst current of the battery decreases.

I agree that the same could be said about a US owned entity. IMO the problem is not that there are Russians behind the company, there are countless of talented Russian engineers achieving more with less (Wozniak style). The problem as I see it is the a real possibility of the revenue and data Flipper generate ending up fuelling the war against Ukraine. That should be noted and then each potential customer or user of the device can make their own assessment of wether that possibility affect their decision regarding the device or not.

The Flipper Zero may be a more problematic product than we first anticipated. Yesterday, on the Sec-T security conference in Stockholm Mikael Simovits presented [1] his research “FLIPPER ZERO – ZERO TRUST or Beware of Geek Bearing Gifts” [2] into the companies and persons behind the Flipper Zero. Connections to GRU cannot be rules out.

Toyota is one of the top innovators in the world when it comes to manufacturing. The reason Tesla is able to produce millions of Model 3 is partly because they are applying the lessons learned from the Toyota production system (TPS). Toyota have a lot of experience of electrification, they just have not produced a lot of vehicles with a charging plug. Toyota will deliver EVs that good enough to compete with all other manufacturers and their EVs will come with the hallmark Toyota reliability. The reason that their current EVs have so low range is pure conservatism from their side. The batteries are over provisioned and the current iterations of EVs are more of a Prime without the gas engine than a pure EV platform. They are the tortoise. Be wary of betting against them.

The M1 closely mirrored the A14 Bionic from the iPhone 12 (Pro), M2 the A15 Bionic from the iPhone 13 (Pro) and this the M3 “should” mirror the A16 Bionic from the iPhone 14 Pro / iPhone 15. If this continues we won’t have the new ray tracing GPU until M4.

There are companies in Europe that are older than the US. I do sincerely think that “long term” is a viable time frame when talking about European companies. When companies grow too large the often fold. So size is not a good measure of long term sustainability.

It’s not movement but light hitting the solar cell that activates it.

Then you will not be able to access some of the features that is advertised for the hardware you bought (like shadowplay).

Most physical bearers (smart card or similar) of a Qualified Certificate are issued in person or based on a known identity. Here there is no need for remote identification before the issuance of the certificate.

What you are talking about is a “remote signature service”. Such a service will often onboard a user remotely using a physical ID, video and liveliness checks and give them the credentials to produce advanced or qualified electronic signatures with the service in question. These credentials have to meet LoA Substantial or High for a QTSP to be able to issue a QC to a user. Most remote signature services use very short lived certificates (10-15 minutes) that are created for every signature the user produces. (As opposed to the long lived certificates of several years for a physical card).

Germany have to follow the eIDAS-regulation as a member state of the EU/EAA. But what level of signature is needed for what transactions is not regulated in the eIDAS.
