The matte screens I've worked with are plenty bright for such situations.

HP long ago rebranded "The Machine" to be just a powerful regular computer, since they haven't been successful in making viable memristors at scale. So they will deliver it, it jus…

The + operator was removed despite being there for a long time. Also there's a whole bunch of wrong info in the article. The most blatant one is that they claim google by default p…

>AND >Search for X and Y. This will return only results related to both X and Y. Note: It doesn’t really make much difference for regular searches, as Google defaults to “AND” anyw…

More precisely, an expiration timestamp is embedded in the repository metadata. Packages in debian and derivatives are not signed. Instead, the manifest that lists all the availabl…

Onion services can have various goals. Hiding the server is a very common one, but it's not always the case. For example facebook runs an onion server for their service, they don't…

It's not so much that they can't be used 24/7, but that Li-Ion batteries really don't like staying at 100% charge (nor 0% either for that matter). If you can configure your laptop …

Probably they will be the only sellers for these items, so no counterfeit problem there. I doubt this will fix the situation for other items. Personally I've switched away from ama…

The article is actually rather vague about whether the op-ed was written by Hagar. It says: > To try to understand his viewpoint, Ars attempted to reach Hagar by phone and email in…

This specific implementation does. What's stopping firmware from patching GRUB to patch the kernel to do things it's not supposed to do? There is nothing inherent to Linux that mak…

Going a bit off-topic, I can't access this CloudFlare blog using a Tor browser (using the "standard" security level) without a CAPTCHA. Didn't we discuss just last week an article[…

Good to hear. For what it's worth, I haven't seen a CAPTCHA browsing cloudflare sites for a long time (months?), until just today I've gotten two (out of several tens of CF-backed …

Thanks to CloudFlare for working with Tor on these issues. The browsing experience for us legit Tor users is much better than it used to be. I hope that eventually, .onion services…
