Anyone in the industry able to tell me where WD sits in the flash space? I use WD for my HDDs pretty exclusively but had assumed their SSD offerings were mostly white label drives they slapped their …

Are you sure the drive wasn't just DOA?

Oldest boxes running are RHEL5 and Win Server 2008. I was trying to explain to the IT Director that both were released when I was in elementary school so I'd have to brush up on them.

When I started my recent job the team kept referring to a box running "weird linux". After getting on-boarded and accessing the box it turned out to be running a very old version of OpenBSD…

I'm scheduled to look at three tomorrow actually :) I'm working with a realtor and the realtor's platform sends me emails immediately anything is posted within my search criteria and sh…

Just for clarification, I haven't marked off houses because I'm worried about "the ghetto". The third choice has come up in my searches a lot, it just requires quite a lot of work.…

That’s about the price range I’ve been looking but it’s been in the north hills - The third house you have listed there has come up many times. It’s not so much being affordable (I’ve gotten approved …

If you hold power and a volume key on an iPhone will disable biometrics and require your password.

I'm mid-20s and while it's not all shiny I'd hesitate to call it grim. Maybe it's naivety but my current lodging isn't at risk of being bombed.

I'm in Pittsburgh right now and struggling to buy a house. Everything on the market are estates and get bought within a week of listing. This past one I put an offer on was sold in less than 24hr…

? I have a friend who was working on "smart grid" code in Rust way back in 2018. Rust code already ships in Android and Firefox too.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame people for not understanding the subtleties of encrypted communication. Everyone only has so much attention to give.

Funny enough I have a friend at Microsoft who likes it as a secure, lightweight alternative to Docker.

It seems to me the most neutral one is AppImage. Flatpak being the favorite of “not-Ubuntu” people and Snap being only preferred by Ubuntu…but still having a huge user base due to their enormous marke…

Wow, that might be why AirPlay always gave me issues. I’ve been on channel 153 for 5GHz forever. Thanks!

I think that’ll require the crackpot team that made Calculator on iPad possible.
