Minor nitpick: UTP Ethernet doesn't use RJ45. It uses “8P8C Modular" connectors, which RJ45S also used but it omits the terminating resistors and has a different pinout. I'll still call them RJ45 connectors though, it's faster and everyone else does.

Yes, the speedrun is a different game. Every speedrun category is arguably its own game. So "Elden Ring" is a game. "Elden Ring Glitchless speedrun" is a somewhat different game. "Elden Ring 100% completion speedrun" is another, "Elden Ring Any% Speedrun" a fourth, etc.

MathExtremist: what you don't seem to understand is that this run is an "Any%" speedrun, not a "Glitchless" speedrun or "100%" speedrun or "Tool-Assisted" or any other category. The rules of Any% mean that you need to get the game to display the victory screen, without using any automation for...

I set my browser to only open new tabs, not new windows, so real oAuth links open a tab. That'd make this very obvious.

I'd say Ars' reporters aren't leading experts in their fields, but they're generally quite good *as journalists in their fields*. Also it was oddly business focused. I just read it for tech news, not for work. Lastly, I read via the RSS feed notifying me of articles. Everything seems to show...

As another example, ground glass is shiny, non-toxic, and definitely not edible.

That paper has several issues and doesn't seem to work in practice. The time complexity bound is incorrectly estimated. Not that I disagree with using ECC over RSA, particularly EdDSA, just that isn't a great reason not to. Pick all the other reasons to avoid RSA instead.

At my workplace we just don't use a VPN for anything but connecting to hardware test equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, RF signal analayzers, etc) on our test benches. Everything else is just done via the various internet services we use (including our own hosted ones and various cloud...

Data caps should be required to be shown as time based, at the speed paid for. IE if you pay for 1 Gb/s service, and have a 1TB cap, the service should be advertised as "1Gb/s for at most 2.3 minutes per month".

Of those, the RSA ones are ... iffy, as everything with RSA is. TLS 1.2 still used old-fashioned padding. So you're actually down to two: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, and TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256.

Slightly inaccurate. Protons are held together by the residual strong force. The strong force holds the quarks together, some of it "leaks" out and can bind the protons to one another. The electromagnetic force would overcome that quickly, but neutrons have their own residual strong force, and...

As I see it it's worth making tables of the possibilities based on independent categories. For example, whether it is accidental or deliberate as one category, and whether it is caused by the US or by foreign agents as another. US & accidental, US & deliberate Foreign & accidental, Foreign &...

If they had enough mass budget they could include a heater to bake the satellites once they reach their target locations. Then let them cool to operational temperatures, and you've got a better low-noise environment. Of course mass budget depends on launch costs. Let's hope those continue to...

Of course then the link to the point of payment can get rewritten. You can't secure an inner layer with an insecure outer layer.

Those were the employees seeing the last 5 or so years of work paying off. If you don't like it there's a mute button in the player.

I have to criticize the "topology is scary" writing. Topology isn't scary, it's often an excellent way to find some very simple and intuitive solutions to otherwise extremely difficult problems. I recommend the book "Intuitive Concepts in Elementary Topology" by B. H. Arnold for a gentle...

GPS is global. It doesn't get turned off in some areas, it's either all on or all off. Militaries will sometimes jam it for exercises or to impede an enemy, but the US doesn't tend to do that because of all the GPS-guided munitions & navigation systems they use.

The only thing they seem to hit are the various blocklist update servers. So exactly what you ask them to request: they pull down new blocklist updates periodically.

Probably not the best idea. But definitely don't watch it if you're severely depressed, the despair it causes could be quite dangerous.

It's been years since I've seen it. Just thinking about Threads puts me on the verge of tears. It truly is PTSD in 2 hours. Every film discussed above that I've seen (The Road, The Day After, When The Wind Blows, and others) are downright cheery in comparison. There is no hope, but the hope for...
