    When you say “made to order” - you’re talking about desktops, ya? Not laptops? If there are made to order laptops, I need to see that. I’m planning on using Central for a PC build …

    I don't think they're criticizing - I think it's observation. It makes a lot of sense, and we're early-ish to the tech cycle. Reading the Manual/Google/ChatGPT are all just tools i…

    It kept war out of central Europe from 1945 until 2022 (I'm not 100% sure we shouldn't count Georgia/Bosnia/Chechnia/Kosovo, so I'll say "central Europe"). I don't think two nuclea…

    Ping ID is "SAML" - they actually don't comply with the spec. If you remove the Bearer element from the SAMLRequest, you should be on your way. Ask me how I know.

    I'm curious - what is the issue with XMLDSig? I think XML is kind of a mess with the whole "billion laughs" attack, but other than that, are there problems with DSig that I don't k…

    My point is that there is more to "VR Headset Market" than just "low end" - low end is one part of the market, but (right now) Facebook has that part locked up. It may be that ther…
