Re: Rubbish "solution" looking for a problem
Seconded. I did just that and got one of those cheapie chinese 1920x1080 IPS portable jobbies. Power from laptop USB, signal from HDMI. Works a treat. And its not an annoying touchscreen either.

The article says
According to Trend Micro's Cyclops Blink technical analysis, once the modular malware, written in C, has been injected into the gateway and is running, it sets itself up and renames its process to "[ktest]" presumably to appear as a Linux kernel thread.
So i suppose one way is to ssh into the router, run ps and see if there is [ktest] listed or not.
Just tested on a RT-AC86U running AsusWRT-Merlin 384.19 and saw no such process.
Seconded. I've found the provided data incredibly interesting over the years.
Just a shame manufacturers don't use the attributes in a uniform way especially with SSDs and many attributes are not directly comparable.
I wonder if 249 could be used to (across vendors) compare amounts written (and calculate how many TDW if adds up to) and then factor that into the failure calculations. I couldn't find the raw SSD data downloadable, but perhaps it is not yet there or I looked in the wrong place.
Yes. Solaris is stable. It also has very functional working SMF unlike LInux's systemd cancer.
LDOM/containers and virtualisation works very well and you can live migrate VMs with no impact to what is running.
IMHO running Solaris (in corporate environment) on Sun^WOracle hardware is a no brainer while Solaris is being supported.
Disclaimer: Yes I am slightly biased with house full of old Sun kit, but in my defense nothing new enough to have been done under Oracle's label.
As a matter of interest, I did a quick web search and found a page that says "Alexa is always listening but not continually recording. It doesn’t send anything to cloud servers until it hears you say the wake word (Alexa, Echo, or Computer)"
I have this bridge here for sale...
Ever popped the name of a particularly annoying user into the source, only to come a bit unstuck at code review time?
Yes. Repeatedly. And I wasn't the only one. Some comments in some code caused a bit of grumbling as it was rather critical of management (decisions) and that was plainly explained in the code/comments as for reason why something was done in the way it was done.
i don't do Windows (apart from having to use it on company laptops) and probably self inflicted but after using OneDrive for backing up files it seemed to default Office to saving everything to OneDrive instead of locally.
Its the thing that I really hate about Windose is when it or parts of it think they know better and make arbitrary decisions without asking if that is what I want. Alternatively it may of course ask repeatedly about pointless things...
Did I say you wouldnt pay more for such a feature? And you are of course welcome to do so anyway. As a result this should not be an issue for you. What you do say is dont send data to the US which sounds like a blanket ban that would affect other people not just you and your preferences.
You make a fair point there. My preferences should not impact/limit others' as I would expect nothing less in return. What I would like is a meaningful choice (not just whether to purchase a product or not) of where my data (yes yes, there is a whole another argument of whose data is it) goes.
Thats one way to make the European product more expensive or non-existent.
Did I say anywhere I was not willing to pay fair price for a product where my data was not snaffled up?
If the product can't exist without data being shipped to US then it probably shouoldn't exist either.
But they are. If you want to get something untracked then go spend the cash for an offline product etc (like most products are).
Where did I say I wasn't willing to do that? Bear in mind that some products insist on some "cloudiness" (say Logitech's Harmony remotes... no, i wasn't willing to support that model and voted with my wallet to stay away from them).
Some SOHO routers/gateways seem to also exhibit similar tendencies (Linksys for example) and again thankfully there are better products without that and I have been and am happy to pay fairly for a decent product.
(and no I didn't downvote you, as I am happy to engage in discussion/debate and stand by my views while accepting others view things differently)
We need to find a way of working with the Americans that is in accordance with this in order not to get a negative Schrems III judgment. It is a priority for us in order to enable the business community to make the most of data under safe and transparent conditions."
How about just not effing send it to US.
"Mandating organizations in the EU to share the data they own — or, equally, restricting them from sharing or transferring data to third countries — will not only prevent EU businesses from reaping the full benefits of the digital transition but will render them less able to innovate and compete effectively in global markets."
My heart bleeds. Re-evaluate the business then. Accept that your customers are not the product.
Also how about mandating publication of protocols used for any "cloud enabled" (in many cases which there is no choice) tat so that once the vendor is dead or abandoned the product it will at least be possible to recreate the backend (or build one to avoid the vendor one in the first place...).
Which is where the mobile apps come in. Fipps claimed they'll literally track progress against corporate performance indicators in real time, and that ready access to those metrics will be welcomed by users.
If they tracked how slow the platform (could be down to implementation/configuration) is and how much time is wasted on using it perhaps, however we all know that will be yet another "Are we there yet?" as we don't have enough already with phone and various IM solutions.
So might be welcomed by manglement, but unlikely to be welcomed by any actual users.
Perhaps. Not how I interpreted it tho.
So that's exactly what Frank did. After one year his app would stop working. To be absolutely sure of staying compliant, he also ensured his app would delete itself and remove all its source code.
I took that to mean his application deleted itself (not just the shareware library) and all its source code as well.
A lot of the graphs are useful, but not essential to be part of process listing/killing tool.
Task Manager should remain simple and to the point. Pretty graphs etc could be booted off to a different application that could then happily run at lower priority.
When the system has started sucking mud, you just want to find out what is eating all resources and if applicable, kill it.
Well I'm not a fan of the Failbox, and S0NYs Managment is set to make the PSV as succsessful as the PS Vita, at this point. At this point my trust on / in S0NY is that they will continue to fisk this up. Why they don't mortgage the Farm to aquire, and in turn make all future Take2 / Rockstar Games PS Exclusive, is frankly lost on me. Perhaps S0NY are holding out some hope that Brandons DoJ will block this deal? I'd gladly place my money on exactly that NOT happining.
Nor am I. However Sony pushed me to it with the PS3 debacle back in the day. Constant delays, and then in the end sold a crippled console in Europe. Not long after they then started stripping features off too (other OS). The new Series X is actually a decent console.
Exclusives are so last decade. If Sony did that they'd be even more dead to me than they already are. There is no game (as much as I enjoy GTA) that would make me go spend 500 quid on a console just for that game (or possibly couple more depending on the studio in question).
it's not just the console debacle either, they have have had other bugles and the few times I've tried their hardware it has been substandard quality and had to be sent back.
Quite sad really. You used to have to pay premium for Sony (Trinitron etc) but it was worth it. They've lost their way (like to be fair pretty much everyone these days).
I did fair bit of travelling with a Kaypro 2X (didn't trust 10's disk to take the beating of knocked about on travels) so two floippy drives had to do. Got to say the edges were digging quite unconmfotably into your legs (nothing rounded about that beast).
Have an upvote for having been a Coherent user. I purchased it back in the day to run on old 286 (IIRC) when the other alternative (for x86) was considerably more expensive Interactive UNIX. Probably the only example I can think of from top of my head, where something rather cheap was very very good. Thanks MWC! It was few years later when Tanenbaum's MINIX started to emerge.
Umm...it may have been intended as a joke. i don't know. However I have written quite a few sendmail.cf by hand. Admittedly not so much in last few years, but back "then" that was the only way.
I suspect a few people would be surprised what can be achieved with sendmail.cf if you have half a clue of what you are doing.
fixed software is yet to arrive for some models
I'm suprised fixes for any exist. Historically cisco seems to have had zero interest in fixing any issues with the crappy RV series. I suppose 10/10 CVE makes an exception.
Tried few RV series kit and they were atrocious. no stability. Random freezes/crashes, etc (and I wasn't even trying to push them hard). Cisco's forums revealed all the issues were common and cisco showed no interest in fixing issues.
Generally share options have a vesting date on or after which they can be exercised at the price they were issued at. There is no (that I can see) benefit for the share price to fall. The higher the share price, the bigger the difference (and thus the money you receive) between current market price and your vesting price.
Given the vesting price (arbitrary and not necessarily anything to do with current, at the time, market price) is set when options are issued so the only way I could see lower market price possibly being beneficial if there was options about to be issued which might be loosely tied to current market price, in which case driving price down would make those options vesting price lower, and thus increase your profit (assuming market price recovers).
That reminds me of some software (can't recall which, but some where building management type ones IIRC) insisted it needed sa access to Sybase (or in some cases MS SQL Server). I said "Not going to happen." In most cases you could work out what privileges they actually needed, but again crap developers developed stuff as sa instead of normal database account.
It would be a lot simpler if we were binary, but we're not, we're ambulatory bags of electrochemical soup.
Far my my field of expertise, but that statement summarises perfectly what my understanding is.
I watched a documentary on Hugh Herr from MIT recently and modern prosthetics are (or can be if you can afford them) quite impressive.
