I, too, love Backblaze's reports. But they provide no information regarding drive endurance. While I became aware of this with SSDs, HDD manufacturers are reporting this too, usually as a warranty item, and with…
And they've done it before[1], about a year ago. This used to be a great source for free (not illegal) content, though it was clear that some links were bad. [1] Now disabled: https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv
Linux Mint comes with Hypnotix that contains free feeds for 974 TV channels world-wide, and 171 US-En Movie channels. Of these are nearly all of Pluto TV's channels, many of the free movie channels available on Roku,…
Back in the early 2000's, I was involved with bringing up, diagnostics, and bench-marking large-scale supercomputers. Would occasionally tell management, with a day or two of notice, when would be a good time to…
I'd love to A-B these to my trusty old FiiO X5 with Sennheiser HD-650's (at home) or IE8i's (when exercising). Hearing the sound-stage and subtle do-dads buried by lesser set-ups is a pet-peeve of mine. A very…
I fired IBM from my life "for cause" a few years ago after 32 years at Research. This comment is overall correct, though there were some isolated pockets of truly amazing/wonderful (some classified) things to enjoy…
But, when did Sloths lose their energy? I have seen videos[1] of Sloths crawling/slithering slowly across a road, and cannot imagine they were ever a formidable or challenging target for (pre-)humans. [1]…
I use an Asus RT-68P. The EULA did scare me off from running all of the services listed in the article, with the exception of "Web History", where I do not recall having seen any indication that my history would be…
My favorite teacher in grade school, and echoed by my favorite teachers later in life, told me that the most important thing they are trying to teach us is how to learn because we'd all be learning for the rest of our…
Adding my experience to the chorus, my 'fridge is a GE TA-12S that I have owned for 34 years. It was 'old' when I bought the place, so my guess is that it is approaching 40 years of age. Not a single problem in all that…
Earlier this year, I retired (voluntarily) from a large company after 32 years. Now that I have time to breath/think/sleep, I actually 'audit' many of the on-line courses I find mentioned here. Great fun. Thanks!
Perhaps it time someone built a web site where the opinions, comments, and especially actions/votes, of every politician running for office, from City Council on up, were tracked. Scoring the politicians based on their…
"Hacker's Delight" by Henry J. (Hank) Warren. Despite the unfortunate title[0], it teaches (with code) numerous tricks, algorithms, ideas, that really improve performance and function of programs. [0] not "hackers" as…
Back in the time-frame of the Leopard to Snow Leopard transition, I visited an Apple Store (for the last time), where upon I informed a 'genius' that on Windows, I had code that I needed to (or was required to) run…
By far, the worst month for me has always been March. Now that we've made it to April, I'm planning to sit tight till after the Santa Claus rally.
Thanks for the reminder to recheck my certs. I manually wiped CNNIC (among others) when the news first broke, and with today's Firefox update, I'll check again.
No one has mentioned that recently IBM has become an app developer for Apple.
