You are exactly right. They were never on the motherboard

1. Why doesn't Apple open source iOS? 2. These weren't drivers. Did you read the article? 3. The larger share of the blame belongs to Apple. Why does Apple trust devices like this that are essentially independent computers? Why sh

Because it's Flash and their God Steve Jobs said that Flash was bad. It's really as simple as that.

Nonsense! Open source things like PHP, WordPress, Apache, and Linux are attacked constantly.

You completely misunderstand my point. I'm a card-carrying NRA member, but I wince when I hear someone notice that a anti-2nd-amendment zealot mixes up terms like "magazine" and "cartridge" and thinks "Aha! I&#

The early mac days when there was no hard-disk, maybe. But if you inserted another floppy when the virus was in-memory, it would spread!

Right. The Mac Zealots will say "These aren't viruses! They're unwanted programs purposefully installed by the user who thought he was updating Acrobat." But it's like a 2nd amendment advocate trying to win an argum

I'm a 50-something and my Mom with her Mac manages to get infected with browser-based malware. And she's pretty careful. But sometimes those "update" notifications look real to her.

With bi-lingual parents (Yiddish, English), I grew up bilingual. In school and some courses at Yivo, I was able to finish off full literacy in Yiddish. I grew up reading/writing Hebrew, too, but it took spending a year in Israel to los

This is simply wrong. We switched from Macs to Windows 10 because of the better monitor options available for professional color grading work. And true "Cinema" and consumer 4K resolutions are supported and supported well ONLY on

This isn't 4K or even 4x HD. There's not enough vertical resolution. Consumer 4K is 2160 vertical pixels. This is only 1600. If you write software for a living, vertical space is precious!

Why is the vertical resolution so poor?

Well, yes, but you can change your name and usually avoid having to pay up a large sum.

All due respect, it does work much better today than it did 5 years ago. Many things now "just work" and it used to be more fiddly.

I learned a lot about Bluetooth with an Ubertooth Bluetooth dongle. It also let me realize how many security issues (side channel leaks, especially) exist that can't be easily fixed.

Yes. We need to stop subsidizing and normalizing obesity.
21.
by 80211 9y ago
It's mostly obesity. If we allowed for obesity as a reason to deny health coverage, then health innsurance would be affordable. And since it costs nothing to lose weight, it seems fair.

Our company's software is very "math intensive". We never hire CS Majors. Only Math or EE majors, who have a working knowledge of the Calculus. We rarely need to use anything that you wouldn't learn in Calc 101, other th

Just do a Windows Update -> Update History and see if you have a cumulative update after 5/24. https://imgoat.com/uploads/2e74f10e03/26813.png

It may have been the first 16-bit home computer, but it certainly wasn't the first 16-bit computer. Or even the first 16-bit computer with a CPU on one chip. And there were many, many bit-sliced 16-bit computers that predated it by yea

This is a gross exaggeration. As far as I can see, what "leaked" was the "shared driver source kit" that nearly any hardware vendor (like chipset manufacturer) can get; basically anyone who puts up a few thousand bucks a

The reddit posts are odd. What value do they have? And why/how did they leak? Fortunately, they don't hold much personal data, but given that they're looking to raise $$$, the fact that they had a security breach is interesti
