It's mind boggling how bad Microsoft have made this. I just want to install a few apps and manage their settings. But the combination of Windows, Intune, modern Store apps, multipl…

There are some SFF PCs that can take USB-C power. Lenovo have some,but sometimes require adapter cards. And a few of the Chinese N150 units will take PD power It's great for hot sw…

I'll take that bait ;-) IP filtering is a valuable factor for security. I know which IPs belong to my organisation and these can be a useful factor in allowing access. I've written…

Thanks. That wasn't clear from the Mail article above. But the Times article also says: > A spokeswoman for Leicestershire police said crimes under Section 127 and Section 1 includ…

This is based on statistics for the Malicious Communications Act. That includes people sending, for example, threatening messages to an ex partner. Not all of them are online posts…

And Microsoft own the client, so they are the one company who don't need to do this! If you really want to check every time someone clicks on a link then you can do this in the cli…

Many years ago we used a hot P4 to heat mulled wine. https://imgur.com/a/mulled-wine-pc-WW1pW It could get to 60°C which is a bit low for coffee but was great for mulled wine

One use case might be if you have limited bandwidth, perhaps only a voice call, and want to join a video conference. I could imagine dialling in to a conference with a virtual face…

Spying how? If you embed a URL in emails then a lot of corporate email gateways will blindly follow the link, trying to check it for malware. This may or may not be a useful securi…

Good point. But what's the threat model here? I didn't think of 2FA as being protection against password reuse. People should still avoid reusing passwords and change them if they …

The article conflates two issues that have different security implications. The "1-click login" links are a concern and just having access to the SMS would be enough to take over t…

I agree that it would be fine to not have phones - we'd all cope. But when my daughter hasn't got home on time if I can check her GPS and see that she's in the park then I can rela…

There is a potential clash here between control and privacy. A few years ago Apple blocked[1] some parental control apps because "they put users’ privacy and security at risk" This…

This debate seems to conflate two or three different issues. 1. Use of phones in classrooms 2. Having phones present in schools, but unused 3. The impact of social media on schoolc…

Also it would be very possible to misread the confirmation. If I've just entered "0.21" then when the confirmation screen reads "21" it's not immediately obvious that it's wrong.

Yes. A typical pump will contain enough for several days. My pump right now has 100 units and is only half full.

I've got this Tandem pump and we discussed this exact bug when I received the pump. To my understanding this isn't the same type of bug. Tandem are just saying "it can be confusing…

A clearer description of the bug is here: https://twitter.com/Tims_Pants/status/1730515134731182490 It's wild that this sort of bug got through testing. As a diabetic it feels like…

As a slightly more frivolous use of this website - we're approaching conker season! Last year my kids wanted to go collecting conkers and I used a similar website ( https://www.tre…

I have the Awair Element and I'm reasonably happy with it. The primary interface is through their app and I think you might need to use this to get it up and running initially. But…

Even in this dual-homed setup, there is still the potential for the cameras to infect, or otherwise compromise the recording server I agree that this is a potential risk. But if th…

I love the form factor of this and the ambient data. TFL do have some quite good APIs so you could use those rather than scraping the HTML. https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/open-data-us…

[ Disclaimer - I am responsible for a Citrix environment, but I'm reasonably proud of how well it works for our company ] The technology behind remote desktops is fundamentally lim…

There is something odd about the battery life on the Ikea motion sensor. I use it in our bathroom and it's activated multiple times per day. The first battery lasted about 3 months…
