Twitch... I just had DiVX vs Xvid flashbacks

Do what everyone else does - synthesize the abstract relations into views and limit the self-serve BI dashboard to the views that do make sense. Users default to only seeing it fro…

I imagine some just need a stiff breeze

I liked the old Cisco where if there was a sufficiently high CVE, you could call TAC and have your long-passed (or retired but now running the home network) device get the latest s…

Anyone know of a good list of consumer routers to avoid, regarding lax software/firmware updates past the 12-month warranty (which is sometimes it's artificial EoL)? The reason I r…
