    I would assume the launch of the Switch successor is why they are clamping down. It's likely very similar architecturally to the Switch. Nobody knows how long it would take to hack…

    Consider a scenario where you have a log file and in the log file is an IP address (172.217.5.14). You are not sure whose IP address it is. So you run the following commands: # dig…

    Visual changes are an easy feather-in-the-cap for both front-end developers and for management. A design overhaul is immediately obvious to everyone. It's something you can show of…

    There are already a plethora of fly-by-night Javascript frameworks. Outside of hobby projects, I'd wager that most people prefer not to use frameworks that lack an established trac…

    Not a whole lot. The fastest CPUs will net you less than 100 MH/s [0]. The fastest single-card GPU configurations will net you around 1,000 MH/s [0]. The current total hash rate is…

    You could try an all-in-one solution like iRedMail[0] or Mail-in-a-Box[1]. Those supposedly do most of the leg work for you and set up a commonly used stack (Postfix, Dovecot, Spam…

    To be honest, if he was that disoriented it sounds like your dad should have been calling 911 and not Uber. I have no idea how you could expect anything short of an ambulance with …

    Until you convince those CAs to start signing for code, they still cost $400+. And remember, that's per year. The driver will continue to function after that year, but they will ei…

    Actually, my complaint is that if you go through the effort of manually disabling driver verification checks at boot time, Microsoft should respect your decision and allow you to p…

    I disagree. I think Microsoft's current driver policies are unreasonable. Most end-users don't want to run their PC in testing mode, and will look for an easier way around it. This…

    Windows 7 has extended support through January 14, 2020[1], so even if he was forced to do so for some reason, it likely wont be years. And with the rate things are changing, who i…

    Bitcoin mining is done with clusters of specially designed ASICs these days. GPU mining, let alone CPU mining, isn't viable by a long shot. I'd be shocked if you got any payout at …

    Look for cables made by Volutz. I had never heard of the company before I tried them, but their cables are incredibly durable. They're also 24/20 AWG and I've never seen USB cables…

    Another cheap rPi alternative that doesn't solve any new problems. What I'd like to see is one of these with a few SATA ports and ECC memory. Then you'd have a viable low-cost, low…
