"Unauthorized retailer" doesn't mean they shouldn't be selling the product, just that they don't adhere to the manufacturer's pricing and advertising policies.

So to flip it on its head, why should the manufacturer be allowed to constrain the warranty just because a retailer doesn't toe the line on pricing?

fail2ban is great for reducing clutter in logs. When I'm trying to debug something using auth.log I don't want to sift through 800 attempts by some IP to SSH in as root.

It gives just enough info about the origin and nature of attempted intruders without overwhelming detail.

When Lockheed left the civil aircraft market after the TriStar it was largely because the three-way competition with Boeing and McD was unviable.

Given that, the subsequent merger of McD with Boeing should not have been approved.

I recently worked on an admin project with a group of varying experience and grade, from months to decades using MS Office. It's the first time in years I've had to use 'ribbon' apps.

Not one of the staff used the ribbon directly, they just searched for everything using Word's titlebar search field and picked the option from the results. Every time, unless it was something like embolden that has a keyboard shortcut.

I tried hunting and pecking through the ribbon but it was such a guessing-game, trying to imagine where the UX designer had filed the option, that I eventually relented and started using the search field too.

So today I learned that a USB-C port with a little lightning bolt beside it doesn't mean "can charge through this" , but means Thunderbolt.

Why does Thunderbolt still exist as a discrete technology?

The little errors do compound, but the errors have been made progressively littler; a modern ring-laser gyro INS has a drift of one millidegree per hour or less.

Or you can add an external correcting factor, such the Trident's astronav system that takes star-shots to recalibrate the INS.

Terrible UX. Cycling through the modes steps you through the settings mode. A destructive / disruptive function should never be part of the normal functional flow.

Conversely, maybe it's a European thing, but I couldn't imagine having my phone in thrall to one provider. So I buy a phone and then pick whichever monthly-contract provider is offering the best package at that moment.

There are circumstances when it is appropriate or necessary, such as when indicating urgency or criticality or when emphasising authority when it is challenged in person.

But, I would argue, not in a mailing list.

Well yes, the Olympics were all-amateur until the 1980s. Tennis boycotted the games from 1924 to 1988 because of the ban on professionals competing.

Today it's primarily professional and bears little resemblance to Baron de Coubertin's vision.

That's not the point of the article, but we'll take a corollary of your statement.

Imagine a physical button for the demister that's hidden behind a temperature display LCD that hinges down.

There's no indication that the temperature display moves or reveals anything, no affordances, other than on a statement on page 3-11-A of the vehicle manual. Would it be acceptable to be confused in that instance even after many five-minute periods?

You could suspend them from trading as a form of penal equivalence.

Imagine something similar to Chapter 11 in which they are temporarily protected from their creditors, but at the same time cannot function.

On the contrary, here's a demonstration of the opposite. Subaru AWD, three wheels without grip, power goes to the wheel with grip.

I'd say yes to time with one particle, as its position within the universe, or the universe's size in relation to the particle, can change.

McDonnell St Louis ( what's now Boeing defence arm ) was a very different operating unit to Douglas Long Beach where the airliners were built.

McD remained an engineering-driven unit whereas Douglas was constantly stymied by accountancy from the early 70s onwards. Douglas lapsed from defence after Ed Heinemann stepped down as chief designer, they had nothing to offer after the A-4.

Boeing Defence is still riding on the solid engineering of the McD F-15 and -18 of that era. Plus the AH-64 from another engineering-driven company, Hughes, and the CH-47 from Vertol. Note the distinct lack of Boeing design origins.

Seems like there's functional overlap between segmentation models and the autofocus algorithms developed by Canon and Sony for their high-end cameras.

The Canon R1 for example will not only continually track a particular object even if partially occluded but will also pre-focus on where it predicts the object will be when it emerged from being totally hidden. It can also be programmed by the user to focus on a particular face to the exclusion of all else.

> what I mean it understands the code its commenting

As in the business case for the code existing? Like linking it to a specific requirement?

AD is fairly well known due to its relationship with LDAP and Kerberos.

Samba can act as an AD DC.

That's incorrect, boost-phase or inflight head-on interception is the norm. In fact it's easier and more efficient than trying a pursuit interception.

Yongnuo offered the YN450, an Android camera with enormous Canon EF mount:

If they made this available to viewers too it would be a valuable way of removing overbearing background music from otherwise interesting videos.

If it somehow did hit exactly right angles into the corner, wouldn't it then be stuck bouncing between diametrical corners?

In fact I don't see how it ever could hit a a corner exactly.

> DVD though, is just objectively terrible quality.

But I can play it on many devices, or it can be format shifted if needed.

I can't play Blu-ray on Linux even if I had a compatible reader.

They are a well-established company, but few people will have directly engaged with them outside supplier logistic chains. At least not in the past decade.

Looking at their product directory, it's all B2B

X-37 was developed by Boeing's Phantom Works, which is outside the normal commercial structure.

If you were young between 1993 and 1995 then DC-X was making landings

Why would mathematics be "completely obvious" when one is dealing with how a computer stores and represents data?

The 'clever' solution fails miserably on value zero and needs hard-coding to handle it. That looks like using the wrong tool.

"Is Betteridge's Law Always Right?"

8GB isn't really sufficient anymore, unless you're obsessive about pruning browser tabs and closing one program before open another.

On my just-retired 8GB T410, trying to use a filter in Gimp without closing Firefox would start thrashing and result in the infamous Linux lock-up until power-cycled. Ubuntu 22.

Imagine having to use command-line tools to configure your OS, how will such a system ever catch on for the desktop...
