The hotels I've stayed out with this functionality all had an Aruba Wireless system with a hospitality model AP on a 1-gang wall box somewhere near the floor or strapped to the bac…

Thanks for the correction on alert().

The bugzilla tickets linked from that article frustrates me. They should autoplay Yakety Sax music as they dodge around fixing the real @#$@ing bug: Just copy Chrome and confine al…

This reminds me of one of my favorite historical audio clips. A few minutes before the 1965 Blackout in NYC the power frequency dipped as low as 51Hz (US is 60Hz). Playback equipme…

Tons of places outside of F500 are doing that. At work we just disabled IMAP for almost all O365 accounts and any other method of authentication that doesn't implement our two fact…

I'll give 4500 a whirl to see if it increases the success rate. It's a good idea. However it's not inconceivable to have sites like cafes that only allow 80/tcp and 443/tcp because…

I setup Wireguard and was pleased with the setup. Unfortunately I tried to use it over the next week only to quickly realize I should have kept my OpenVPN install instead. Outbound…

Let's not pretend this is a full list. It's just a list of example apps. "Hardware companies" Does that mean bundled by carriers and crappy Android phones? Lovely.

Surveillance of 60 million devices? Do the users all know? https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-ride-ha... "The company doesn't work directly with services such as …

My response to this site as someone who has had a paid Dropbox account for years: Oh no. Oh... no. follow link to dropbox.com Ugh. What happened? I'm now under the impression Dropb…

The touch bar examples shown are a usability disaster. You're going to hide UI from the screen and make me keep looking at the keyboard to find functionality? I stopped looking at …

You can pin radio stations. Unfortunately it only grabs a handful of songs at the top of the playlist. So dumb. Edit: Radio station downloading now seems to grab at least twice the…

Play Music's Youtube integration is a pointless distraction that makes me less likely to continue to pay for the service, not more. If I want to watch music videos I'll go to the Y…

"The offline playback stuff continues to be pretty clunky to set up. If I know I am going on a road trip and will be driving out of range, actually adding that music to the device …

I use the Kindle app for Android because that is where the indie authors seem to be. I use the app in spite of itself. The Kindle app on Android has over the past few years been su…

We live in a sea of available entertainment and sources of amusement. Why be so attached to one particular form of entertainment when the cartel that controls it doesn't make it ea…

7" screen was the perfect size for reading books and comics in my opinion. I'd preferred to have gotten a new 7" with smaller bezels. Might as well skip this Nexus generation.

As someone against having any form of debt other than a mortgage or useless obligation such as a cellular contract: $649 is where I stop paying attention to the Nexus line. The hou…

That isn't a physical button, it's a speaker. Dual front facing speakers.

Rogue DHCP servers should not be a problem in any decently engineered enterprise or college campus network. Cisco switches have included DHCP snooping for years which when used onl…

I'm not using the API only the "see for yourself" link on the MMS page at https://www.twilio.com/mms . Webpage says it's sent but nothing ever arrives to the phone. I'll send an em…

Twilio's test MMS (or any Twilio SMS) messages have never worked for me on the AT&T and Tmobile MVNO Straight Talk which uses Tracfone's MMS servers. I'd be curious what other MVNO…

People need to stop buying terrible phones. Consumers keep rewarding companies who don't keep up with their promises and thus no one ends up giving a crap. In my opinion if you're …
