I've been using tinc for quite while. How does it compare to Wireguard? One Tinc advantage is that it can run on an Openwrt router.

Because the person with dementia does not have a stable level of cognition. It changes continuously. The article mentions this. At higher levels of cognition they will know whateve…

It is no worse than email is now. In fact, it's better because only allowed clients can read messages authorized for them.

Without NN won't ranking pages by "page speed" simply enhance the benefits of purchasing "fast lanes" near end points (on previously dumb pipes ;-) to those willing to do so?

I agree. EquiFax deserves complete dissolution as a corporate entity. Much like Arthur Anderson dissolved itself after being caught as the approving auditor in the Enron scam. Corp…

Z-wave and encrypted ZigBee controlled products work pretty well for in-home automation. Communication is encrypted between devices. The problem can be the Z-wave/ZigBee controller…

Roku has made all the difference for many. It has most every streaming option including Amazon who refuses to work on Chromecast. It's easy compared to most other Internet Video St…

Actually, they know their customer needs and wants. Their advertising and "in network" offers are brimming with all the appropriate wording and promises. They just don't provide go…

Cable companies keep tightening the screws on Cable TV customers who in many cases will remain cable subscribers for broadband internet only..... But only because there are no othe…

Rats! They didn't provide the old mouse pad with buttons above and below. The "click anywhere" mouse pads are a pain. And who wants to be stuck with only a iCore 7U processor?

If space utilization is the issue then use a 2.5mm jack. Like Palm (before HP) did over 10 years ago. Waterproofing a jack is not any harder than doing it for USB. Eliminating the …

My preference was UUCP for USENET via 1200 baud modem circa 1983.

That likely depends on what trade agreements exist between your country and the US. The dominoes could fall quite quickly.

Fix the courts. Arbitration is not a a fair fix. At least if a case has merit and the aggrieved can find an attorney who will take the case on contingency. Attorneys don't take con…

This is common. With Elder Care, if you did not agree to a Binding Arbitration agreement that usually also included a non-disclosure agreement that you would never disclose why you…

Correct. If you waive "due process" via binding arbitration you also lose the ability to sue for malpractice. Do not be stupid do not sign contracts that require binding arbitratio…

An area that Mandatory Binding Arbitration must be eliminated is elder care. It recently took our family a considerable amount of effort to find a good care either in home or a fac…

We've seen this story before. It's as old as cross-platform software development tools. A platform vendor buys and kills closed source code that makes it faster and easier to make …

The difference is that in this case Facebook controls the complete platform including access to the customers that your startup requires to survive and prosper. Paypal had independ…

Yes, you too can be the next startup to place your complete destiny in the hands of an organization that owns the walled garden you are sharecropping, that can watch your every mon…

This is just an expanded version of the press release for Dan Lyon's book. That being said there are plenty of startups that are like this. Thankfully, most are not.

If every DC Starbucks is serving WiFi via a single network vendor like AT&T etc. then the surveillance is already in place. Particularly, if only metadata is being collected. A spe…
