- Comment on T-Mobile In Trouble After It Decides To Build Cell Tower That Is 'Not Safe' For Residents 15 hours ago:
Tell them how much power the TV and radio broadcast towers put out and watch them freak out. The analog TV stations ran even higher power than the digital ones do now.
- Comment on Japan achieves staggering 402 Tb/s data rate with commercial optical fiber — record-breaking performance tapped into unused wavelength bands 1 day ago:
You would use a large cluster of servers all stuffed full of enterprise grade SSDs if you need that kind of write speed.
- Comment on FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days 2 days ago:
OK, now ban bootloader locking next.
- Comment on Mac users served info-stealer malware through Google ads | Full-service Poseidon info stealer pushed by "advertiser identity verified by Google." 3 days ago:
Don’t use more than one ad blocker extension on the same browser, it can cause conflicts.
- Comment on Patent document showcases the cloud-only streaming Xbox console that never was 4 days ago:
I imagine the latency would be unacceptable for any sort of FPS game unless you were on fiber and very close to the data center.
- Comment on CISA: Most critical open source projects not using memory safe code 4 days ago:
Rewriting something in rust could create more vulnerabilities. You would be throwing away your well tested code and starting over from scratch in a language you may be less familiar with. A memory safe language doesn’t protect against everything.
- Comment on Best easy to use e-commerce front end with no javascript? 5 days ago:
It sounds like he wants everything done server side like they did in the mid 90’s. It’s certainly possible, but it won’t result in a very good user experience. The whole page would have to reload to change anything on it.
- Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. 5 days ago:
Just make sure the VPS will shut down if the bandwidth is exceeded rather than giving you a big overage charge.
- Comment on California says AT&T can't shut down copper DSL network 6 days ago:
If they don’t want to maintain the copper lines, they can always replace them with fiber.
- Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough 6 days ago:
8GB would be fine for basic use if it was upgradable. With soldered RAM the laptop becomes e-waste when 8GB is no longer enough.
- Comment on Meta is tagging real photos as 'Made with AI,' say photographers 6 days ago:
That’s not surprising when a lot of phone cameras use AI filters. They should probably have separate labels for photos generated by AI and photos edited with AI.
- Comment on Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them 6 days ago:
All of the mirrors listed on their website are safe. Just pick one close to you. If it downloads too slow, you can try a different mirror. If you know how to use bittorrent, you can use their torrent link. It will typically be the fastest.
- Comment on domains on internal network 1 week ago:
If your ISP provides IPv6, set that up. Everything will have a globally routed address, so your domains will work from your LAN and the internet. If you don’t have IPv6 available, get a free tunnel from Hurricane Electric.
- Comment on $200-ish laptop with a 386 and 8MB of RAM is a modern take on the Windows 3.1 era 1 week ago:
That will add extra latency from USB. Old programs are not likely to be very tolerant of that.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Always get a router that you can install OpenWRT or OPNsense on.
- Comment on will i damage my car electrical system with a 24v solar panel 1 week ago:
The solar panel needs to be used with a charge controller. Connecting it directly to a battery will overcharge and damage the battery. Charge controllers typically don’t like the battery being disconnected while the solar panel is still connected, so don’t connect it to a switched outlet.
- Comment on Adobe overhauls terms of service to say it won’t train AI on customers’ work 2 weeks ago:
Libreoffice Draw also works well for PDFs.
- Comment on People want 'dumbphones'. Will companies make them? 5 weeks ago:
If you use Firefox, you can transfer tabs between your phone and computer.
- Comment on I found a way to keep my chamber temps up for long/big ASA prints 5 weeks ago:
I made a sleeve of aluminum foil bubble insulation for mine. I taped it together with aluminum HVAC tape. It makes the enclosure heat up quicker, but I have to run the enclosure fan on longer prints to keep it from getting too hot.
- Comment on The Mac vs. PC war is back on? 1 month ago:
Apple hardware is overpriced and they go out of their way to make it unrepairable.
- Comment on Idle Windows XP and 2000 machines get infected with viruses within minutes of being exposed online — legacy OSes compromised by just connecting to the Internet 1 month ago:
I doubt many people would do that. You would have to intentionally set it up that way. Residential ISPs almost always supply a modem with a built in router which will have a firewall. You would have to set it to bridge mode, enable the DMZ, or use your own modem.
I haven’t connected a computer directly to the internet since I used dial-up.
- Comment on Here's How to Declutter Your Google Search Results (And Make It Your Default) 1 month ago:
The quality of Google search results has been rapidly declining over the last few years. It’s not really even worth using anymore.
- Comment on Comcast to Launch Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV+ Bundle at a ‘Vastly Reduced Price’ 1 month ago:
They can reduce the price as much as they want, but I still won’t pay for it until they get rid of the DRM.
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 1 month ago:
This is worse than a streaming service dropping a show. They are removing the ability to play digital files that people purchased.
- Comment on Microsoft is testing Game Pass ads on the Windows 11 Settings homepage 1 month ago:
You can install any Linux distro other than Ubuntu if you don’t want ads in your operating system.
- Comment on I made a 3D printed mechanical digital clock 1 month ago:
They could be made fairly small. The Curta calculator was hand held. Unfortunately, they are very expensive now, but there is a simulator online if you want to play with one.
- Comment on New Laptop Memory Is Here! LPCAMM2 Changes Everything! - iFixit Video 1 month ago:
When the memory is shared with the GPU, bandwidth becomes much more important. A desktop will just use a dedicated GPU if it needs the performance.
- Comment on Walmart shopper data will soon feed targeted ads on Disney Plus and Hulu 1 month ago:
If you have to use sites like these, be sure to use an ad blocker as well as containers to keep cookies completely separated between sites.
- Comment on Gen Z mostly doesn't care if influencers are actual humans, new study shows 1 month ago:
I don’t care if it’s a human or a bot trying to sell me something because my ad blocker will make sure I don’t even see it.
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 1 month ago:
Batteries degrade with age too. It would probably have to be cycled 10 times a day to get that many cycles.
