Real companies have competent adults build and test this type of thing so they don’t stiff their vendors or miss payroll. It’s not an area where you should let techbros move fast and break things.

The gaming data is all stored server side and subject to the tightest controls imaginable. You would never be able to twiddle bits and get an advantage in the game. Your PI however is sold to all and sundry, as well as being made available

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I will admit I was fulminating a bit. I'm just extremely frustrated that their solution to edge cases is to drop them on the floor and there's nothing to be done. No individual Google user actua

The thing that baffles me the most is that literally no one at Google has thought of this. They should be having meetings where they come up with scenarios like this and plan out realistic ways of dealing with them. Google isn't respon

What we need is a way to objectively quantify the reduction of quality over time so that people will have a clear idea of what they’re actually buying rather than relying on a hazy and outdated idea of the brand’s reputation. People would k

Almost anything; they won’t GPL their driver like they ought to, because they made unwise decisions surrounding the use of material covered by software patents and non-Free licenses, and thus are unable to do so.

I'm still not sure if that was written as a joke or a simplified explanation for military personnel who are not engineers (pilots).

I’m not the bad actor, those who want to add telemetry to their open source software are. To the extent that jamming telemetry systems with false or inaccurate data discourages Fedora and others from adding telemetry to their software, I am

If you don’t add telemetry to your software then you won’t have a problem.

It's open source so I'm just going modify the telemetry program to send nonsense and publish my changes on shithub so anyone else who wants to monkey wrench Fedora's telemetry can do so (even if they don't actually run F

In this event, it wasn't the actual SWAT, the team in the police department assigned and trained to carry out this type of thing. Instead it was drug detectives who evidently wanted the chance to go out and play army. The whole thing w

If that were true then the replacement driver for the HD595 would be a matched set, not a single driver labelled “HD 555 / HD 595” as shown.

I would like to know how the ME shares the NIC with the user OS on these systems. Do they have a completely separate interface that somehow uses the same physical port? Do the drivers from the two operating systems cooperate? Do they have o

A better idiom for your use case might be ‘carry water’. Saying Tim Cook carries water for the CCP would be to say he does the work of the CCP, equivalent to towing a load. However, I think this is a stronger phrase than what the original c
