I'd be curious about this as well, I have one of these Logitech dongles and if I plug a USB3 device in the port next to it (say a SD card reader or external drive) the logitech device, my mouse in this case, becomes basically unusable

How are they even going to know if there is an airtag in someone's luggage? Are they particularly obvious on an x-ray or is there some kind of specialised detector?

Yep, like this person who used that method to steal £25,000 worth of goods from airlines: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manches...

As someone from the UK I'm a bit confused why he can't seem to get the college to pay him? If a court has ruled that the college has to pay how can they avoid this? In the UK if a company failed to pay a debt then ultimately you c

Personally with DP cables, especially if you're looking for a longer length cable or wanting to push a higher bit rate through it, then you're better off just spending a bit extra and getting a proper VESA certified cable.

Yeah, on the list on the article the only "modern major payment service" I actually recognised was PayPal and Alipay. I noticed that Rubles are mentioned multiple times in the article, perhaps the author is Russian. Is Stripe even

I mean you can get pretty comparable counter top dishwashers for a similar price or even less that just use regular dishwasher detergent with no DRM features.

If you're looking for a KVM over IP for a hobby project with a Intel CPU you might want to first check to see if your CPU supports Intel AMT/vPro. If you enable this then you get a built in KVM over IP without any additional hardw

Not really sure the comparison is valid. TrueNAS uses Samba to provide SMB network shares.

The technical quality of Netflix originals is really high. One thing that annoys me though is for some reason despite having rigorous standards for the camera it seems a common trend through numerous Netflix Originals to use the Vantage Haw

From what I understand after briefly looking into this earlier this month the issue seems to be basically NVIDIA want to push their own buffer API (EGLStreams) rather than use the buffer API developers are actually using (GBM). If you use o

8k seems... optimistic. The PPI of such a display would be off the charts. Not to mention the kind of hardware required to run such a device. The NVIDIA RTX 3090 can barely run a 3D 8k game at 30fps, let alone in 3D for VR. What would you e

If it's any conciliation personally I think you have the nicer car mechanically. The m240i is a rwd straight 6 with the legendary zf 8hp gearbox whilst the newer m235i is an awd 4 cylinder with some inferior aisin gearbox.

At $549 they better be rather impressive. The same amount of money can buy you some fairly high end conventional headphones.

Seems extremely expensive, especially the data transfer part. Just a quick calculation at $0.50/GB we would end up spending $10,000s in just data transfer costs vs $0 with AWS ECR (transfer within region is free). Guess this would work

Despite having all of those requirements I still can't get 4k streams on my PC. All I've managed to find are rumours from unofficial sources that there's some issue with HDCP 2.2 when using displayport with certain monitors.

I'm pretty sure you can't do it via the UI but if you use the API you can delegate access to any account in your organisation without confirmation. Once you've delegated access to that account you can then login as that user

One thing I immediately noticed is that apparently it supports exporting full backups of the device? Surely this is a terrible idea? I'm far from a security expert but I'd have thought you'd want to make it so that it is extr

Looks cool. Maybe I'm missing something though, but it's not really clear how you'd set this up? Is there a quick start or some examples of configs for different situations?

What's worse is the documentation straight up lies. It states you can perform a major version upgrade by resorting a snapshot and selecting a higher version. I mean it's still not ideal except if you do try this you'll find t

Totally wish we could upgrade but for some reason AWS have still not implemented any upgrade path for Aurora PostgreSQL other than dump and reimport despite apparently working on it for a year...

From their post it seems like their SSL/TLS certificate is expiring? Seems rather overkill to discontinue an entire product in the first place just because of that.

This is something similar, except they run test centers rather than just renting out office space for that use: https://home.pearsonvue.com/

The reason I have it built-in is it integrates with the head-up display meaning I don't have to take my eye off the road to see directions.

You do realise CloudFront ( https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/ ) and CloudFlare ( https://www.cloudflare.com/ ) are not the same?

We've looked into using Elastic hosted Elasticsearch ourselves but what really put us off is that even if your whole cluster fails the only support method you get is a forum. You have to purchase a support package for the whole of Elas

Looks great. One thing that does not appear to be clear though is if you build multiple docker images from the same project. Our deployment workflow at the moment builds two docker images, one for the web app and another for the background
