I can’t believe that this is a serious article. If it is, it’s clearly written by someone who has experienced very little crime. That said, it’s not like crime is uncommon, and a b…

It’s actually older than that. I remember playing that on a VMS system in the early 80s; I believe the one I watched was on the DECUS games tape.

This article is very poorly informed, and is likely written by someone who has never had to secure a site or work in a large enterprise. The author seems to be upset that site owne…

AR will be as big as smartphones; imagine wait staff seeing people’s orders above their heads, convention attendees seeing virtual name tags, mechanics seeing the engine details ov…

You didn’t ask me, but I’ll chime in here. I run 6 monitors — four landscape in a 2x2 config and a portrait on either side. I use the bottom right landscape for most web browsing, …

https://www.foodsafety.ca/blog/what-are-bacterial-toxins gives several good examples.

And “pstree -n PID” can help a lot with this.

SMS 2 factor is terrible anyway and is on the way out, although it may still be the only choice for some services for quite a while. A hardware security key is best, and TOTP (Goog…

I haven’t seen 7 Wonders listed yet. It’s fairly easy to get started but great in that you have to alter your strategy based on what board you get dealt and what your neighbor play…

Most graphics cards implement a hardware mouse cursor where the video card reads the current pointer location from memory and overlays the cursor on the screen. So I guess if the d…

IBM just split out “we will run your servers for you,” not consulting or other services. You’re forgetting about a large security services business unit, a large research org, and …

I agree. That’s the idea behind https://www.ibm.com/cloud/blog/ibm-cloud-code-engine-enjoy-y... . (Full disclosure, I work for IBM.)

I agree completely. Look at all of the things that K8s is growing with —- service mesh, etc. The platform is doing more and more for you.

IBM Cloud has Lite accounts, which are quite limited but always free.

But Ensign Rock likes to eat it.

I know very little about this field, but I guess I’m surprised that the table of instructions can’t be found by looking at a microcode update file.

Using a separate secure element built into a smartphone is probably the best solution here. Most smartphone users will not lose them often, and will notice almost immediately.

Same here. I’m on 16/1.5 and I can run a couple of SD video streams outbound with an EdgeRouter and smart queueing. I would certainly love more upstream for uploading pictures, and…

In some ways it sort of does though? The worker nodes can be (and increasingly are) a locked down “cattle” appliances, like CoreOS. Yes, it’s running the Linux kernel so you’re abs…

I use a 7-monitor setup — four landscape in a 2x2, a portrait on either side, and a very small one at the end (just for monitoring my front door camera). It works great — I can ded…

I must fight pedantry with pedantry! Historically it has been correctly nomered as a Program Counter, such as on the 6502 ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6502#Regi…

While I agree that many mitigations can cause issues and performance degradations, as someone who has been on a lot of incident response scenarios, I think it’s often (not always!)…

Actually the way 56k worked is that the ISP would provide a digital signal to the phone switch, and not all phone switches supported this. The problem might have been distance but …

Our holler in Kentucky has fiber to the premises through a federal grant a few years back, but I’ll admit that’s unusual. :)

Thank goodness somebody else realizes that not everyone likes to be crammed in small areas with lots of other people. It’s amazing how much diversity (which is a good thing!) is pr…
