Recommended practice is to timestamp windows drivers (and software) when they are signed. Without a timestamp, the driver is not trusted after the signing cert expires, which I guess is what happened here. With a timestamp, as long as the s

A physical memtransistor will be a lot faster than emulating it in software, but you'll also be limited by the original connections and design of the chip. Not as easy to reconfigure as writing new code.

This does suck, but you can actually use From: aliases if you set them up first in the Gmail interface. You also have to enable two factor auth. Hard to be too mad about spam fighting measures.

Yes they do. A Faraday cage is equally good at blocking radio waves going out as coming in. They don't protect against conducted emissions though - along a power cable for example - so they're not a complete solution.

I think the popular perception of a learning curve is difficulty vs time.

The PWM backlight driver frequency should be much higher. This kind of effect is only perceptible at sub-kilohertz LED switching. The LEDs themselves are happy to be cycled into the megahertz, so the only reason for this on the Macbook is

The article abstract ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29176609 ) says that the old "nyquist density" sensor arrays were designed to capture the theoretical maximum amount of data present. But it turns out

Yes, a user-mode driver is something you would write instead of a kernel mode driver, if you can. Kernel-mode code is the most powerful, but also poses the greatest security and stability threat to the computer, so Microsoft locks it down t

A big problem with Youtube's three-strikes approach is that it's the same for all channels, big or small. It doesn't matter how much good content you've produced or how long you've been making it, if you get 3 strik

I think kernel mode drivers have more stringent signing requirements than user mode drivers. A user-installed CA definitely cannot be used to silently install a kernel mode driver.

This article says that it's easier and better for companies to keep their unfair compensation schemes private than risk employee unhappiness by making them transparent. Sure, it's easier and better for companies to keep their di

This was posted earlier and flagged. The discussion probably needs a more neutral article.

There's really no practical alternative but to ship binaries with baked in API keys. Maybe you dynamically provision API keys, but the binary needs a baked in permission to access that API to start with...

The 18 core i9-7980XE is widely thought[1] to be a direct response to the 16 core Threadripper announcement. It was announced late, with much less info. It has a expected release date months later than the rest of the i9 lineup, and is usin

This is huge, Symantec owns about 15% of the SSL certificate market[1], and as stated in the article, has issued 30% of in-use certificates. No certificate authority of this size has ever been raked over the coals like this. [1] https:&#x2

You're right, my mistake.

This is misleading. Helium has a higher conductivity and heat capacity than nitrogen per unit mass , but since helium has such low density, the heat capacity and conductivity per unit volume at atmospheric pressure is less than nitrogen.

Yes, it seems you're right. Canada has the higher tax rate, so the USA gives a credit and you are not charged extra on employment income. But the US has higher capital gains and estate taxes than Canada, and you may be charged there:
