I assume you mean "validated" and not "compliant" -- the distinction is important. Yes, it will be 140-2 validated. It's being submitted for testing before end of month to make the 140-2 cutoff. (September is the

I miss the days when punctuation marks were significant to google searches. And the days when you could use logic operands in searches like +&! I’m glad I learned POSIX and especially Linux when searches were evaluated more literally.

Really, slippery slope fallacy over employers providing food to workers? The free food does a good job of keeping me in the building. I honestly can’t understand why anyone would be opposed to office perks.

PlantUML is an excellent tool for creating visual representations of system behaviors. Because diagrams are generated from plaintext, they’re easy to maintain and version control. I use it often when designing new features and systems. You

It’s a fair inference given the size and rate of known Bitcoin black market busts. In one search, I found a paper that estimates $76B worth of Bitcoin is used in illegal trade per year. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/pap

FYI, RF paints are poor signal attenuators, even when applied in multiple coats. There’s no RF paint product that can stop commercial cell communication across usable spectrum.

Yes. Credit card companies do the same thing. They run ads stating you won’t be held liable for fraud. The implication is that the credit card company does this because it cares about you as a customer. The truth is federal law dictates car

Are MikroTik access points still a royal pain to configure and maintain? I use their switches, but not their APs. Decades ago, I was a network engineer working in production data centers. I’m used to setting up switches manually. But I have

Does the cult of personality — its leader, followers, and traditional media amplifiers — bear no responsibility? In the context of this article, “big tech” seems only to be a convenient scape goat, given that this is hardly the first time m

Why bother providing an anecdote like this when we have mountains of empirical evidence about the content on Parler? And that evidence directly counters your assertion.

Facebook and Twitter don’t make the determinations alone. They contract internationally recognized fact checking organizations. Is it perfect? No. Do we need to curtail online disinformation at a platform-level? Yes, clearly we can’t rely o

Having a manufacturer-curated channel of apps is great. That channel should not come at the cost of consumer choice or competition.

FireEye has provided their own evidence[1]. BBC has strong editorial guidelines for dealing with evidence from third-parties[2]. You, however, have provided nothing but conjecture and redirection. Can you substantiate your claim? If not, it

Do you have any evidence that FireEye’s report is inaccurate or misleading? You are making an outlandish claim, that the BBC is lying in conjunction with FireEye. Back it up with evidence, or abstain from gaslighting please.

Interesting, but no iOS client or WebDAV support. That would prevent me from using it. Most developer/engineer types have a private server and that’s a great place to install Nextcloud. Nextcloud has cross platform clients, supports st

5G has nothing to do with the problem you’ve described — a symptom of insufficient tower backhaul. It’s typical for 4G LTE operators to deploy a minuscule 100Mbit fiber connection per tower. We should be investing in 1Gbit backhaul of LTE.A
