I bought a second hand Meebook M6 on ebay. At least, it was listed as second hand but seemed to be fresh out of the box when it arrived. I completely love it. For actually reading ebooks, I'm using Koreader instead of the built-in read

I have been asking around but people in the know are keeping quiet. I'd love to know and will reply to this comment if I find anything out.

I can understand your concern. Thankfully we have no way of accessing any PII from within an embedded context - all the agent knows is its own MAC/IP addresses etc.

Likely it isn't within your firewall anyway. Our integrations are typically on the router supplied by your ISP.

That is only for people who volunteer to receive our custom hardware and we need the name and address to ship them the unit. For most units we have no name, address or any PII whatsoever.

Most likely deployment scenario is that the ISP has installed it in their home router, it's not running in their own device.

SamKnows is not surveillance, we generate synthetic traffic for our tests from our test agents. We do monitor byte counters for the WAN interface to tell if someone else is using the connection before we run our tests, but otherwise we can&

I had no idea this was a new feature but used this today. It was extremely convenient!

I have negotiated a four day week twice. I would recommend a four day week to anyone who can afford it. Don't forget that because of tax bands the effective pay cut is less than 20%. The first time I just straight up asked my boss in a

Fascinating insight into the past! It makes me appreciate the convenience of emails and messaging today.

It certainly is poetic. I don't know how much of that comes from the translation which will have been done by someone who already "knows" that these letters are important classical texts. If I knew Ancient Greek then maybe I

I'm reminded of a quote from Seneca's letters to Lucilius, also circa 1st century CE: > Thank you for writing so often. By doing so you give me a glimpse of yourself in the only way you can. I never get a letter from you witho

In a small team, I have found that a simple spreadsheet of tests can go a long way. Give it a fancy name like "Subcomponent X Functional Test Specification" and have one row per requirement. Give them IDs (e.g. FNTEST0001). What s

This sounds great, I will try and read it. I recently read a science-fiction novel with similarly strongly-consistent timelines which was very enjoyable (if a bit slow to start). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Psycho

When I had Covid in December, I briefly lost my sense of smell and taste (only for a few days, thankfully). I decided I would see if the Switch cartridges tasted as bad as I remembered - purely in the interests of science, of course. I coul

Not necessarily comparable for purposes of global heating effect (not sure if that's what you're doing or not). The CO2 that a human exhales is from the carbon in the food they consume. That carbon ultimately comes (whether indire

The article seems pretty clear that the story is about how productivity is worse _than it would have been_ without the global heating that industrialisation has incurred.

I'm desperate to know whether it is or not. Mind sharing how you reached that conclusion?

If you realise how it relates to "placement new" then it does kinda make sense. But yeah, not exactly beginner friendly!

A nice bit of fun. I kept missing the platforms and restarting as I felt bad for the passengers that I'd left behind...

In certain contexts (such as linear algebra), linear refers to the fact that the mapping must cross the origin. This follows from the constraint that for a linear map f, f(a + b) = f(a) + f(b), which is not true for the farenheit-celsius ex

There's actually a big scene of vegan cheese alternative making, it's just pretty localised right now. For example there are many companies in London making excellent vegan alternatives (e.g. I AM NUT OKAY, Honestly Tasty, Kinda C

The opposite. ; is the same as a newline. Prepending the newline with a backslash \ is like saying "pretend this newline isn't here". So all of the -H arguments get applied to the same command in the example, rather than bein

Not quite, this is the "core network" which handles things like handset authz/authn, billing, base station attachement etc. A 5G basestation is called a gNB, and a handset is called a UE. This project doesn't involve the

I think they mean that they do use bash, but the reason that they use it is not ideological. Tricky sentence to work out.

Just because that's one thing that the campaign talked about, doesn't make it the reason that people chose to vote leave.

I realise that it can be tempting to try and wave this around as proof that leavers are silly and us remainers are so much cleverer than them. However, if you haven't realised by now that people who want to leave the EU want it for rea
