Monumental and amazing work. Thank you!

Nothing prevents them from having another meeting unless there's an act of Congress to do so.

Right... So how far are we from creating SIBYL? Watch that show (Psycho-Pass) to see what happens when AI starts judging humanity at scale and who is behind that "AI". More to the …

I've been using this feature (POP3 fetch from external accounts, send as external accounts) for over 10 years. It's unfortunate that it will break soon. :(

I can't pass phishing training on my first try because it often has bad advice as answers they are convinced are correct. Reading headers is one of such gems.

There is at least one use case where I would want AR. I was doing some cable runs last night 30' in the air, and AR would have been very beneficial to highlight the exact path inst…

As an electronics tech, I can reverse engineer just about any fault code being thrown at me by a computer. Logic analyzers and oscilloscopes don't lie and my equipment has more tha…

I like Canon ImageCLASS series printers. They are not expensive, reliable, and some of them are software supported through Windows 9x.

Accessibility. I was in NYC yesterday. I had a somewhat heavy carryon and had to deal with a few too many staircases. I could not determine where the elevators and escalators were …
