RAM over “USB” seems dangerously close to an SSD. In any case DDR3 isn’t nearly as bad price-wise and would have much better energy efficiency than stacking 1–2 gig sticks.

I never understood the point if having the unfathomable churn of thousands of new questions per day. The value of SO to me was always a knowledge base with reputation mechanics, an…

Got me confused for a sec, as the exploit in the top comment implies JavaScript→root, but it actually relies on two separate exploits.

If you’d like to take a look at how one of the older Victorian mechanical signal boxes on this map (still) work, I can wholeheartedly recommend Tom Scott’s recent video on signalli…

I love coffee on ice in summer, but I think that’s a different category, like ice cream. I would rather have room temperature coffee than a cold brew usually though. I just did not…

I don’t understand, you say it’s a myth and then said it’s better when warm? Regardless, I would say it’s an objective fact that good coffee is ruined at room temperature. It still…

Yes, but the test was at 22°C, which I wouldn’t consider warm. And it’s too cold for the differences to be even perceptible well, making the test flawed. Disregarding the fact that…

> Both espresso samples were served at 22 °C to ensure a fair like-for-like comparison […] > It is noted that espresso is normally consumed hot and has transient sensory attributes…

I mean what is that, three bananas?

I always assumed it was because of SSO redirects

I think it’s more about layers of defense being always better than relying on a single point of failure. IIRC those bugs could only steal data, not do remote execution. If you did …

I wonder if this show is the ”Connections” in “Technology Connections” [1]. I can’t find a reference on it but I wouldn’t be surprised. [1] https://youtube.com/c/TechnologyConnecti…

Yeah because Meltdown and Spectre [0] weren't a thing. [0] https://spectreattack.com/

That seems like it would be hard to see, even for the person sitting right in front of it.

My university also taught best practices alongside that, everytime. I am very grateful for that.

I get a choice, at least in the EU. Admittedly you need to scroll down a bit on mobile, which is not clear at first.

Finally. It was the reason I was always reluctant to buy something from GOG.

This at the same time super cool and really disappointing, as I've been carrying around this idea in my head for maybe ten years as a cool side project and never got around to impl…
