Maybe they could start a Archive@Home project for volunteers to donate unused disk space for the greater good.

This is the way to go. China cracked the pollution issues of burning trash, and built a lot of high-temperature incinerator to burn trash and generate electricity. The overcapacity leads to a shortage(!) of new trash to burn, and it has sta

If you haven't yet got any portable drives in the drawer, chances are high that you rarely need to copy large amount of files around anyway. In which case free tier of cloud sync services would be preferred for the majority of users.

At this particular point in time, yes SSD is expensive. But 5~10Gbps USB 3.0 SSD had been very affordable for a long time before 2025.

what's the latency when someone pressed the button and you hear the bell?

For the time spent finding the ethernet adapter, plugging the cable, configuring IP addresses, and testing with pings, any decent portable SSD drives should have finished copying tens of GB of data.

Unified memory is about address space. The bandwidth is still determined by bottlenecks to the processor. CPU/RAM links are still fairly narrow.

It's slightly better than the aggregate number :p

When talking about network bandwidth, it is custom to measure in bit-per-second therefore the "bps" notation. If you convert to bytes, it is highly recommended to use "b/s" notation instead, i.e 150MB/s, to avo

There's a asymmetry here that "-R" works both for reverse static and dynamic (using SOCKS protocol) forwarding, but "-D" is required for dynamic forwarding which "-L" cannot do. Why is that?

Are you sure? I thought it's just AES without any authentication.

That's exactly the issue. I'm just pointing out that it's a fantasy to hope for simple numbering of max supported speeds will simplify the current USB mess. It will not. Consumers would expect plugging a 20Gbps device into a

How do you achieve that on macOS then? With PF?

why is jack retasking a thing…

>> The macOS version uses deep packet inspection to do this more reliably. That's not an option here. I thought it would be easier to do DPI on Linux than macOS. No???

It just proved the author knows nothing about either technology.

Seamless WiFi roaming is mostly a client decision. The best you can do on AP is to: a) optimize signal strength for coverage (stronger signals aren't always better in multi-AP deployment); b) provide hints via 802.11k/v/r to

I used to think that the scenes of the TV series “Person of Interest” were exaggerated for storytelling purposes. Maybe not and it was accurate prescience.

China has several teams working on FEL and several experimenting light sources, the latest being built in Shenzhen https://www.iasf.ac.cn/

"(sftp) packetizes the data and waits for responses, effectively re-implementing the TCP window inside a TCP stream." why is it designed this way? what problems it's supposed to solve?

I hate the original Mac Pro case so much!!! The metal box is so heavy and the edges of the aluminum top handle is so sharp that you definitely need a pair of heavy-duty gloves to move it around.

OK, can we have 7GHz and 8GHz for Wi-Fi please?
29.
by riobard 10mo ago
China has already reserved the entire 6GHz for cellular and vehicles.
