What you get is not what you cost. 40% overhead is quite typical, so you'd be looking at $120k/year. In the USA I'd consider that a competitive salary for an admin capable or keepi…

No, 27-7 for the rest of the world. The separator is often the only way to distinguish American notation from ISO, so please use a dash for dd-mm-yy and a forward slash for mm/dd/y…

> in Switzerland there is a thing, that if a product or service has the name "Swiss" in its name, then it can be sold for any price regardless of quality That's just basic marketin…

The title makes it sound like they just did a seed round, but the seed round was announced in August of last year [0]. Their website landing page is now also showing the software i…

I was wondering the same thing. I had never heard of Portal before seeing this post. Actually had to pause the video to search what a Meta Portal even is... Too bad because it look…

For on-the-go compute I am using a 2017 12-inch Macbook (AS1534). This is a lesser known model, it was simply called "12 inch MacBook" (not air or pro) [0]. It has the aluminium bo…

Glitching attacks are typically performed by switching the supply voltage at quite high frequencies, a typical low-voltage detection won't trigger a reset under such conditions. An…

Similar story, I had a customer who wanted me to change the entire UI of a legacy application, because some information would not fit on the ancient 1024*786 15" desktop monitor of…

I don't think that it would take that much. It is my understanding that the A18 CPU is pretty well understood already. AFAIK it doesn't have the new architecture that is keeping th…

I'm not sure what Hector's personal choices have to do with not "trusting" a piece of software? It's open source, so if you don't trust the quality of the software, then just inspe…

I'd take that claim by Mecha with a huge grain of salt. How are they going to fund 7 years of support for a device that sells maybe a few thousand units? How are they going to guar…

I do the same. I can SSH into my router at home (which is on 24/7), then issue a WOL request to my dev machine to turn it on. You don't even have to fully shut down you dev machine…

I used to work as a freelancer back in the days. I worked a lot for a customer became a good friend. At first I'd work on his projects, but this ultimately shifted to a model where…

I bought the top of the line TV from Samsung in 2011. The 'smart' functionality services went offline after a year or two, which means all 'smart' functions no longer work and I am…

Story time! I've had a very similar problem with my cable internet circa 2010. It must have been DOCSIS 3.0. Multiple times a day my connection would stop working completely. The m…

Alyssa works for Intel now, so I doubt she'll be doing much contract work for Valve anymore...

For what I remember, most of the DNS root servers used to run Bind9 exclusively. I'm glad to see that this is now more diverse with NSD and Knot also being used (see table 4 in the…

I don't understand your sentiment against Cloudflare here. Cloudflare also delivers a rather large portion of said public infrastructure free of charge. They also released a few of…

Yeah, please let this guy tackle Lenovo next. My Lenovo X1E regularly burns 20% of its CPU cycles on some high frequency recurring interrupt. I did get pretty far with debugging it…

My best guess is that this attack was purely social engineering, and that no email spoofing actually happened. I think that the email message in question is actually a legit email …

What you're saying makes little sense. Yes, SPF (the original design) is horribly broken and trivially bypassed. The most prominent design flaw is that the inbound SMTP service use…

From my experience, most businesses (or at least the developers working for them) actually would like to donate or pay for support on the OSS projects they rely on. The problem, at…

I volunteer for a historical museum about transportation (mainly steam engines/trains) I was recently approached if I could create an 'interactive video game' to use in the educati…
