I quite liked the idea behind one of zerodns's services, it wouldn't resolve any domain that hadn't existed for at least 30 days. It felt like a simple (rather brute force) filter that cut out a lot of potential noise/ma

tbh - my first thought, especially with that figure and marketing, is "Bob the Builder"... [Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_the_Builder_(character) ]

You're absolutely right, when it's Nominet's actions that actually inspire a lack of trust in .co.uk, given they've been a bit of a hot mess since the early 2010's-ish. ;) (Edit: although I should add that I'm

Or there's also those 'gigabit crossover' cables, where they flipped pairs 3+4 as well as 1+2, which I only remember seeing for a short period of time. They always seemed a bit pointless, and died out with crossovers I suspec

Most optical cabling setups I encounter these days tend to be made so that you just use a straight through (A-B) cable, and it generally just works. Although it is super easy to just pop the individual fibres out of the clip holding them to

"The 10 dropped the physical SIM slot" I'm assuming that's a country specific/dependent thing? (My pixel 10 does have a physical sim slot).

There was a time when the community was the attraction, although I wouldn't say "the insanely large community", given that at the (for me anyway) best/peak WoW times, your specific community was the server, which was may

Wow... What have they done to that webpage to make it that unreadable? And why? Ouch.

There are USB headsets, that usually provides a few extra handy features, like volume/mute and call answer/hangup buttons. Does it have to be wired via headphones jack?

If you want to do that sort of thing in a cheap way, then you can. I'm told a box with two optical NICs in it with only one fibre in it, TX->RX, works quite well, plus a bit of software to wrap around it. But these sorts of organisa

The ubiquity is the problem I suspect. If customers buy the product regardless of the quality, then the manufacturer has no incentive to improve the quality.

It does clearly state that the price is variable depending on what it costs them to source the memory modules. And other pages give the costs for repairs & diagnostics, which are probably in line (it's effectively a type of 'r

Those kinds of designs have been proposed before iirc, mostly with a large section of the fuselage that drops in/out. There's Airbus's US patent US9193460B2 if you fancy a comedy read!

Regarding capacity, iirc, one of the advantages of this style of body is greater internal volume. And another company working in the same space, Natilus, is planning to fit 150-250 passengers on theirs, somewhat comparable capacity-wise to

I think the more commonly used term is Blended Wing Body. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blended_wing_body ) (And actually, now I've just noticed they do use the term further down in the body of the text).

For me personally, while I like the history element, if I'm gathering/storing/searching everything, I'd love to also see the command output with the entered command, giving much better context. Currently I tend to log al

My jellyfin setup is not that different. Jellyfin container instance running on a mini pc, reading media from an NFS share on a NAS, organised in a very similar fashion. The advantage is there is a "native" app on the TV, so every

This reminds me of the time when I removed en-US from windows, leaving just en-GB, and it blue screened. It's both surprising and irritating how many US-centric things are just assumed. (Don't even get me started on paper sizes...

I tend to find ebay less shady than Amazon these days, which is a bit disapointing really.

More like a replacement for something like CyberArk than for Citrix. It's not so much about the remote access as it is about control and auditing. i.e. ability to permit/deny certain commands/behaviours, and a complete audit

With "AWP" (Amusement with Prize, as opposed to SWP: Skill with Prize, i.e. quiz machines), they're often set to payout 80-85% of money taken in. (SWP's are usually around 30%). And at that level they're still pocke

Quite possibly. But the way that they dealt with the whole thing smelt very "we don't know what we're talking about", enough to put us off. And shifting all the IP space about would have had costs with very little return

The blurb in game suggests the multiplayer side of things will be open, the 'premium' thing on steam gives the one closed bit, which is the single player campaign. (In theory!)
