Every time I read an article like this, I get depressed about all the hours of my life I've spent waiting for computers. I'm 64 now, and I've been using computers since I was 14. (Batch mode, using punched cards on an IBM 3

A month ago, I ordered one from a local vendor who mostly sells parts for old electronic gaming hardware. They substituted a similar 40mm fan, but the one they gave me didn't include a heat sink, or attach to the old heat sink boat, h

I've got one sitting next to me that I'm in the process of rejuvenating. The north bridge has a small fan with integrated heatsink/boat that I'm searching for. The CPU fan is still okay. It's a pre-PCIe system, a

RAM itself is deprecated. All the new systems have about one fourth of the RAM they had two years ago. Something about some insider B2B deals for data centers, blah blah blah. I expect a flood of cheap RAM, SSDs, and GPUs to hit the scene

It's a win-win-win for Amazon if they destroy the source in the process of scanning it. They get the AI training data, and it's cheaper for them to destroy the book in the process. Destroying the book ensures that it will be mor

That's good info, but unfortunately none of it applies to me because I moved out of California eight years ago and the property is not my primary residence.

The US isn't so different. Federal capital gains taxes will eat a minimum of 10% of the appreciated portion of your home value, and more if you're in a higher tax bracket. Many states also tax proceeds on a home sale. I've

I like the way the payment processing systems give an option to leave a tip. It makes tipping really easy. I always tip generously for any service-oriented purchase (mostly restaurants).

The "valuation" is based on market capitalization, so the market "supports" it because of the mass hysteria of "perceived value." When a big IPO gets automatically added to a major stock index (such as NASDAQ

I recently upgraded my home network to 10Gbps. As it was when it was only 1Gbps, everything that could be using a wired connection is using one. The WAPs (now R770s) are used to provide Internet for mobile devices, and a few other IoT dev

There's a difference between control rods (which are used to reduce fission by absorbing neutrons) and fuel rods (which contain enriched fissile material). In this case, the control rods that fell into the core would pose no risk at a

Thanks for your explanations. I recognize that you're offering this as a product within the AWS ecosystem, but because it's an evolution of WireGuard, which has a GPLv2 license, you should probably provide some way for users to o

Okay, so you're saying that it's not a complete WireGuard implementation and not functional. Every WireGuard endpoint must have an IP address (or subnet) on the encrypted subnet. If an endpoint doesn't have one, WireGuard c

This is confusing to me, and I'm not a novice to WireGuard. WireGuard is a layer-3 protocol. Given that WireGuard does not natively support DHCP or dynamic internal IP allocation within its encrypted tunnels, and it instead relies on

I have still never taken an Uber. I have always used taxis and I like them more because of the regulations. The difference is cost is minimal now because the taxis had to adjust their rates to remain in business.
