It seems like they are doing a port based block similar to how residential lines often have their SMTP ports shut off. That said in this day and age, servers on the public network really ought to use SSH.
A lot of earlier digital timepieces come with arbitrary date range limits and I have always wondered what is the reason behind such limitations. For example, a lot of camera date backs (used to physically embed time and…
This paper you linked does not even involve aspartame. The only sweetener they experimented with is saccharin. You can check out the main figures from the link below:…
Scenario C is more likely the culprit. I have seen multiple examples of prebuilt PCs and laptops defaulting to software RAID mode for reasons unknown, and they did not always have a toggle just like in OP’s case. The…

The other parties you mentioned would probably have less motivation to preserve it, let alone restore it to a fully functional state. I find it rather bizarre that many posters here seem to think that it’s morally…
Hi, OP here. I did not respond since another poster had beaten me to it but here we go. The reply above yours is mostly correct though I have to admit that “data center IP” could be a bit of a misnomer when it comes to…
Cyber- is pretty much a code prefix for anything targeted at the public sector. I too see it as a kind of dirty word TBH.
> P67 chipset was trivially electrically compatible with LGA1156 CPUs Well it’s possible to shoehorn in support for the determined but iGPU support is definitely out of reach and I am not sure what segment of the market…
I am not too worried about anything pre-2000 as emulation has got really good over the last few years, just in time as the surviving legacy hardware became prohibitively expensive to acquire. The internet archive has…
Bruce Schneier wrote a similar post back in 2016, and he was ridiculed pretty badly by everybody. Interesting to see how the opinion has shifted to the other extreme in less than 10 years.…
Support for PCI-E bifurcation on consumer motherboards was really good for a while when PCI-E 4.0 first came out, however it has since regressed again. Not many motherboards in the latest gen can do a proper x8+x4+x4…
It might be worth pointing out that reviewers are only on board to offer their opinion with the material given at face value. After all they are probably not in a position to experimentally verify whether the results…
Nikon started off as a defense contractor making rifle scopes and artillery sights for the military. Camera lens was a side business that took over after the war. While no longer on the cutting edge, they still have a…
Technical issues aside, the current crop of crypto people took the half baked Austrian school economics to their hearts, where scarcity begets value and hyper-deflation makes a desirable outcome. Satoshi invented…
Yes, sequoia are lucky to be able to rely on each other for support. There are many species of trees are technically capable of growing to hundreds of feet tall but they are invariably lost to strong wind and lightning…
I would take whatever information they show with a grain of salt as it seems to simply relay superficial information the system BIOS/UEFI reports without verification. For example, a stick or channel of system RAM may…
Arbitrary search and seizure at the border has been a steady feature in western countries for, like, the solid part of the past two decade. I have travelled to the USA three times during this period and during every…
Recipes are usually not copyrightable as they are just a list of ingredients and instructions with no room for expression. I wonder if the same argument could be applied to prompts.
Windows 95 did have some limited support for Unicode. However the vast majority of code were written with a particular code page in mind. https://unicodebook.readthedocs.io/operating_systems.html Resident programs that…
I have not played StarCraft in a long time so can't speak for that, but ranked AoE2 games are still being played with players of all skill levels.
Before modern bankruptcy laws, it was common for people who owe a lot of money to go to debtor's prison (and this still happens in some parts of the world with more archaic legal systems). At a glance it may seem…
Free flowing table salt was first invented in the UK by adding up to 3% phosphate salts with sodium chloride. Legend has it that a Scottish pharmacist tried to fortify the condiment for his daughter by blending calcium…
I had to do a double take when reading your comment before realizing that you were probably referring to the Mac version of Portal 2. If that is the case then it's not unexpected, for OSX routinely break compatibility…
