Presumably you must disclose that "doing that" would wipe the device... and you better hope this is caught on some neutral party's camera so there is a record of you saying that.

Nobody _wants_ it, but in practice if all cars/TVs/smartphones break every two weeks, what choice do people have? In tech, the era of competing based on quality is long gone. The w…

Nobody is wasting nation-state exploits to launder stolen phones.

> Are these outages caused by introduced bugs, though, or by load issues? Probably both. But it still throws a thorn into the theory that LLMs are about to replace software enginee…

Hard disagree. Self-hosting a service like GitHub that operates at GitHub scale is difficult. Self-hosting a service like GitHub that operates at the typical small/medium company's…

I am talking more about the knowledge of the code rather than an objective/subjective measure of code "quality". Code might be bad by some objective/subjective measure, but if you …

But for their target market, corporate office drones writing crap that nobody will ever read more than once (if even that), this is actually perfect and makes AI usage numbers go u…

Companies that have something worth protecting already don't use it and/or pay for the on-prem version. The rest don't have anything worth stealing anyway.

I'm not talking about code quality (though indeed that could be a problem too), I'm talking about understanding the code - having written the code by hand means you don't need to r…

This is also missing step 6: when your solution breaks in production or needs to be extended. Having done step 2 & 3 by hand is the difference between being able to fix/extend it q…

Some people are just looking to be offended. You don’t have to read or agree with his drivel to use his software. (Do you also check out the blogs/social media of every dev involve…

Wouldn’t that be the job of the software TCB to ensure only the appropriate user is given access (and prevent the user from accessing the TPM directly obviously)? The TPM validates…

Is there anything they're doing that can't be replicated by hypervisor/management software on commodity x86 servers? Seems like their "secret sauce" is a software stack that "just …

I wonder what's the selling point at that scale. If your ~monthly~ cloud spend ends in "M", you can easily justify hiring the talent needed to wrangle conventional bare-metal (in f…

If you somehow manage to get on top of the elevator cab (indeed as the sibling comment points out, there is no escape hatch at the top), you will generally see a small control pane…

Dealing with SaaS doesn't just mean accounting for the subscription cost of the software. There's also the fact that said software can change its terms, pricing or functionality at…

MySQL has a lot of broken "features" that sadly some existing legacy code might be relying upon and there just isn't engineering capacity required to move to a saner DB, so they ha…

Considering a lot (all?) of AI is currently being sold at a loss, I wonder if all that outpouring of interest is exactly the reason why they're changing course, as it would've othe…

He is probably referring to Beta 1.6.x. I remember running 1.7.3 in 2011-2012 on a potentially 1 or 2GB RAM machine and some Nvidia 7xxx series card (7600?). It worked fine on Linu…

I suspect most of the "corruption" RPi users experience is likely bad power (shitty undersized USB power bricks) glitching the CPU and causing the filesystem to corrupt. The SD car…

Downvoted - this is false, sorry. The whole point of security keys (whether exposed via PKCS#11, or FIDO) is that the private key material never leaves the security key and instead…

The idea with HSM-backed keys is that even in case of compromise, you can clean up without having to rotate the keys. It also makes auditing easier as you can ensure that if your m…

> not pull a sidearm and shoot the corrupt commander Wouldn't you just get "zeroed" by the upstream commander or court-martialed and sentenced to a gulag?

I don't mind the increase per-se, but the "improvements" they advertise to justify it are laughable. Not to mention that 1Password 8 has been a major downgrade across the board.
