If you want to do that sort of thing in a cheap way, then you can. I'm told a box with two optical NICs in it with only one fibre in it, TX->RX, works quite well, plus a bit of sof…

The ubiquity is the problem I suspect. If customers buy the product regardless of the quality, then the manufacturer has no incentive to improve the quality.

It does clearly state that the price is variable depending on what it costs them to source the memory modules. And other pages give the costs for repairs & diagnostics, which are p…

Those kinds of designs have been proposed before iirc, mostly with a large section of the fuselage that drops in/out. There's Airbus's US patent US9193460B2 if you fancy a comedy r…

Regarding capacity, iirc, one of the advantages of this style of body is greater internal volume. And another company working in the same space, Natilus, is planning to fit 150-250…

I think the more commonly used term is Blended Wing Body. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blended_wing_body ) (And actually, now I've just noticed they do use the term further down…

For me personally, while I like the history element, if I'm gathering/storing/searching everything, I'd love to also see the command output with the entered command, giving much be…

> This had a second benefit: no attacker data, and none of the credentials it referenced, left our environment. Well, that may be correct for the second, local, analysis attempt...…

My jellyfin setup is not that different. Jellyfin container instance running on a mini pc, reading media from an NFS share on a NAS, organised in a very similar fashion. The advant…

What is the point of them taking the fingerprints at all, if they don't verify them on entry?

Not sure about "David Harris" and "Sarah L. Harris" being exactly the same...?

There were some telephone engineers I used to know who worked in telephone exchanges in the electromechanical era, and they could tell when they walked in if things were not workin…

This reminds me of the time when I removed en-US from windows, leaving just en-GB, and it blue screened. It's both surprising and irritating how many US-centric things are just ass…

I tend to find ebay less shady than Amazon these days, which is a bit disapointing really.

More like a replacement for something like CyberArk than for Citrix. It's not so much about the remote access as it is about control and auditing. i.e. ability to permit/deny certa…

The lack of security is one thing, but why have they retained the information at all ! iirc, one of the elements of GDPR is "storage limitation", i.e. you must not keep personal da…

With "AWP" (Amusement with Prize, as opposed to SWP: Skill with Prize, i.e. quiz machines), they're often set to payout 80-85% of money taken in. (SWP's are usually around 30%). An…

Quite possibly. But the way that they dealt with the whole thing smelt very "we don't know what we're talking about", enough to put us off. And shifting all the IP space about woul…

The blurb in game suggests the multiplayer side of things will be open, the 'premium' thing on steam gives the one closed bit, which is the single player campaign. (In theory!)

Fairly freedom-y by the looks of things: https://github.com/beyond-all-reason

I once asked them if we could enable IPv6 on a 1Gb DIA circuit, and the response I got back was that "we can convert the circuit to IPv6, but you'll need to give up your IPv4." I d…

I can't really see this ending well for the end user, however well it does/doesn't end for the stakeholders. I thought Roku took off due to their focus on the streaming platform it…

Quote from my partner's manager before a vacation: "If I see you log on, I'll disable your account."

I'd not seen that one, and it does look like it has some nice points - although needing its own special app is rather frustrating (vs leveraging apps that people are already using)…
