It'll be quite telling to see what Apple says when this claim from Apple is proven false: "Claims that we’ve shifted this approach or policy are completely false."

Ok. Start with all new datacenters. Require them to be built with infrastructure that allows for throttling of servers to occur when the utilities want to throttle.

This isn't good. Then again, the amount of power going in to these CPUs is way too high. Take the AlphaServer DS25. It has wires going from the power supply harness to the motherboard that are thick enough to jump a car. The traces on

Microsoft is making it too easy to convince people to use anything else. I'm moving several people to BSD (Linux is too messy).

Doing anything can be life threatening. We don't need to assume that people who decide to do a thing are the same as you.

Anyone who claims that pointing out the difference between new and used is the same as telling you to ignore the used market is just an idiot.

Did you read the article? The administration's excuse / explanation is that it's not illegal to remove data because it already exists elsewhere: > said the information will be housed within NASA to comply with the law So y

You're right that you didn't say all. What you did write implied you use them for "AI protection", although you didn't say you did do that. So if I wrote, "You would put" instead of "You put", th

Serious question: You put Cloudflare between all your domains and all your visitors without looking in to how this would affect your site's reachability? If so, that's interesting, considering that many people in this community ar

That's hopelessly naive. A "misconfiguration" is the excuse they use after the fact when there's enough outrage that they have to put things back the way they were.

Is it just me, or is the site not working right now? It loads, but it doesn't show the date, and the buttons don't seem to change anything...

While this has lots of generally good advice, handwavingly dismissing IPv6 because of the lack of understanding is one glaring shortcoming. After all, systemd could be described as (leading) 'to all sorts of strange behaviors in differ

There aren't many companies I'd trust for stuff like this. Mullvad definitely stands out. I'll be looking forward to giving this a try.

The performance is incredible... Now when will AMD put some real effort in to reducing power usage?

That's nice, but who is behind this? Why should we trust them?

I wonder if anyone has made it easy to run the Pi Hole software on regular Unix-like systems without containers and without machine specific binaries. Perhaps I'll have to give that a try some time.

You're conflating a few different issues: the newness of a domain, and the quality and cost of of your VPS. Some email providers don't like brand new domains, yes, but if a domain is brand new, nobody is going to immediately start

It's absolutely amazing to compare Adventure on the Atari 2600 with a fancy, ray traced game today. What's even more amazing is that both have the ability to capture our attention for hours. It just goes to show how significant of

This doesn't feel like an oversight or an accident. It'll be interesting to see how they try to explain this away.

Simple: Don't look at the logs. Bots are a fact of life. Secure your site properly, follow good practices, set up notifications for important things, log stuff, but don't look at the logs unless you have a reason to look at the lo

There's absolutely no data to back up the suggestion that sites regularly suffer from DDoS. It's like talking about getting murdered - it happens, and there are statistics, but if you're literally expecting everyone to change

So you're saying that which browsers are supported on the Internet should be determined by a single, for-profit company? That's a very interesting and shorthsighted take. I love how so many of these apologists talk about stuff lik

I agree - we generally do the opposite of trusting marketing, but sometimes marketing is coincidentally correct. Cloudflare wants to "protect" the world from the evils of DNS services other than themselves even knowing what geogra

That comment didn't +1 what you just said. It basically said that we care about the total , usable throughput. Whether some specific components are capable of more doesn't mean anything unless / until that greather throughpu

I agree. It's often used as a way to dismiss concerns about a party's actions, as though all bad actions are equally bad, which is ridiculous.

The TMS9900 was a very nice CPU and TI had a chance to really compete back in the early '80s, but, just like many other large companies of that era, they were too afraid of competing with themselves. It makes me wonder what we'd h
