The hotels I've stayed out with this functionality all had an Aruba Wireless system with a hospitality model AP on a 1-gang wall box somewhere near the floor or strapped to the back of the TV. Aruba wireless (like many enterprise wirel

The bugzilla tickets linked from that article frustrates me. They should autoplay Yakety Sax music as they dodge around fixing the real @#$@ing bug: Just copy Chrome and confine all modal dialog boxes such as HTTP basic auth and Javascript

This reminds me of one of my favorite historical audio clips. A few minutes before the 1965 Blackout in NYC the power frequency dipped as low as 51Hz (US is 60Hz). Playback equipment with motors setting speed based on the power frequency sl

I'll give 4500 a whirl to see if it increases the success rate. It's a good idea. However it's not inconceivable to have sites like cafes that only allow 80/tcp and 443/tcp because that was an option in the UI on th

I setup Wireguard and was pleased with the setup. Unfortunately I tried to use it over the next week only to quickly realize I should have kept my OpenVPN install instead. Outbound port filtering is incredibly common on public and guest wif

Let's not pretend this is a full list. It's just a list of example apps. "Hardware companies" Does that mean bundled by carriers and crappy Android phones? Lovely.

The touch bar examples shown are a usability disaster. You're going to hide UI from the screen and make me keep looking at the keyboard to find functionality? I stopped looking at the keyboard every 10 seconds when I learned how to tou

You can pin radio stations. Unfortunately it only grabs a handful of songs at the top of the playlist. So dumb. Edit: Radio station downloading now seems to grab at least twice the amount it used to. Which puts it firmly in the "meh

Play Music's Youtube integration is a pointless distraction that makes me less likely to continue to pay for the service, not more. If I want to watch music videos I'll go to the Youtube app. So damn annoying when I accidently ta

I use the Kindle app for Android because that is where the indie authors seem to be. I use the app in spite of itself. The Kindle app on Android has over the past few years been such a buggy piece of shit that I curse it's very exist

We live in a sea of available entertainment and sources of amusement. Why be so attached to one particular form of entertainment when the cartel that controls it doesn't make it easy or inexpensive to consume?

7" screen was the perfect size for reading books and comics in my opinion. I'd preferred to have gotten a new 7" with smaller bezels. Might as well skip this Nexus generation.

Rogue DHCP servers should not be a problem in any decently engineered enterprise or college campus network. Cisco switches have included DHCP snooping for years which when used only allows authorized switch ports to act as a DHCP server. An

People need to stop buying terrible phones. Consumers keep rewarding companies who don't keep up with their promises and thus no one ends up giving a crap. In my opinion if you're not going to buy a Nexus device or a Moto E/
