Depends on the access technology and environment. But usually there is not much choice to be made, by design. The cable or equivalent from the customer prem will go to exactly one …

> - Currently, the circuit where the user connects is arbitrarily decided by the demo user. In a real system with thousands of circuits, it'd be very difficult to properly assess w…

Why would it be non-standard? USB-PD is almost completely decoupled from the rest of USB, and USB-C connector doesn't imply 'super speed' lanes are available. The only thing it rea…

And when Android follows Apple's lead, then what? The consumer harm is obvious. Whether you call it a "monopoly" or something else, it is a problem that needs to be addressed.

They don't even need to know it is a thing that exists. The defaults (ie. the status quo of implied trust in the OS vendor) are fine for this type of user.

So you think it's okay for manufacturers to take advantage of users as long as they continue buying the locked-down devices? I disagree, and I think this argument is incredibly dis…

That was intended to be a generic 'device manufacturer', not calling out Google and Apple specifically. It's my device. I should control it, full stop. It should simply not be lega…

Ultimate control over devices you own should be a basic right. Apple's wanton abuse of users and developers via the control they have over their platform, and Google's nipping at t…

If they're injecting targeted ads in the stream, then the stream producer must be 'smart'. It's not much of a stretch for it to enforce playing out the segments at approximately re…

Recovery codes is an option, for one. Since we're talking about a legacy bank here, going to a branch and proving your identity is an option. Worst case, you could always call and …

There is a distinction between the variable itself and its name. Const (and Rust's immutability-by-default) ensures that the variable does not change after assignment. This holds t…

It's a bit ironic that this page doesn't include a usage of the icon or any localization at all.

Did you even watch the video? He walks directly beside it several times.

The 'fan' in this very video is pretty dangerous, even ignoring its cobbled-together nature.

It's an old anecdote, but years ago Samsung refused a warranty claim for a _failed USB port_ that would no longer charge the phone _because I had rooted it_ and the fuses were burn…

> I hadn't even imagined this constituting "brute force". Is my phone using "brute force" to find the WiFi router? At some point it's not really "Brute force" it's "There are a han…

No, the fact that all of these ships show the same false location strongly suggests that they are being spoofed from a single terrestrial source; this effect is not practical to ac…

> making everyone appear at exactly the same location would be nigh-impossible, though. I don't think this is actually the case. In a spoofing scenario, all of the rogue signals wo…

You're more or less inside a Faraday cage. I find you'll generally get a strong lock just holding your phone near the window, though TTFF can be relatively slow compared to normal …

Nobody remotely versed in this stuff would expect SMS to be end-to-end encrypted, though to be honest the more notable fact to me here is that Apple can read any plaintext in your …

Yes, this was the root of the miscommunication. The AoA indicator (ie. an instrument that gives a numeric value of AoA to the pilots) was optional. The AoA disagree alert (ie. an i…

There've been so many issues it's definitely getting confusing, but the thing blocking the MAX10 certification is a problem with the engine anti-ice system. You're correct that thi…

It shouldn't be that bad, CloudFlare's anycast should direct you to a nearby resolver, and doing your GeoDNS on that resolver IP instead of ECS is probably not that much worse than…
