    Profit at all costs is a political agenda.

    It was clear and understandable to me, but follows a format I've seen many times. Headlines in English tend to have a style that's widely used, but would not be considered good usa…

    In 90’s New Brunswick it was practically legal tender. Accepted at basically every mom and pop store, and even many chains. Not so much since the turn of the century.

    Similar to v4 DHCP guard, configure RA guard on your switches.

    If you care about this enough to abandon old software, they built that and called it Windows S and few wanted it.

    2. Achron from 2011 is an RTS fully and completely built around time travel as it's core mechanic, perhaps to the detriment of general playability. Available on steam or direct.

    That's ancient and perhaps best forgotten. More important in this day and age is since Firefox 91 there is a checkbox in privacy and security to automagically SSO using the account…

    Trace output was easier to read in the days when everybody trusted and there was no security. Try reading this, with just the tool output, A and NS records, like the old days: dig …

    I agree with this. Much of the square footage is devoted to entertainment pursuits that don't have a roof and close for the winter elsewhere in Canada.

    Going so far as to actually smoke it is a hair too far. Get a quality vaporizer and enjoy the full bouquet without the harmful combustion byproducts.

    Several reasons, but the biggest I see is Passwordless. Windows 10 can act as a FIDO2 authenticator like a Yubikey, but needs a TPM to do so. They want this to be something that ac…

    Not offering IPv6 is intentional misconfiguration in this day and age, and deserves shame.

    BellAliant in eastern Canada, the only provider of residential layer 1 fiber in my area, still isn't even assigning a /128 or /64, let alone proper delegation.

    What about a hex numpad? IPv6Buddy is a real shipping product, according to their longstanding website.

    My recollection is BitTorrent encryption has mostly nothing to do with real security, and almost everything to do with the cat-and-mouse against ISP middleboxes. Plaintext BitTorre…

    This looks like part of their push to passwordless. Decent camera plus TPM means that FaceID style unphishable FIDO2 credentials can become default moving forward.

    In my TrackIR config, I move my head left an inch, the projected head moves 6 inches. This is more useful than a even mapping in practice, but solidly breaks the 'looking through a…

    As a TrackIR user, it feels to me like it should be possible to do something like this with the 6dof headtracking data from TrackIR, but basically nobody uses a 1-1 mapping that wo…

    Maybe someone else finds something more recent, but it looks like 20 years ago, unions got options at about half the rate of non union (table 1). https://smlr.rutgers.edu/sites/def…

    My understanding is shrinkage typically refers to the sum total of all product received but unsellable, whether from theft, spoilage, or or breakage.

    CCTLD policies vary, but Canada should be one of the TLDs that this is a reasonable thing to expect: https://www.cira.ca/policy/rules-and-procedures/canadian-pre...
