Aaron Quigley’s Everything Open lecture about Intelligent Interfaces is one of the most interesting research reports I’ve seen in a long time [1]. This one can be understood and appreciated by people who don’t have a strong background in computer science. Statites (satellites that don’t orbit the sun but use solar sails to hover in […] A feature of systemd is the ability to reduce the access that daemons have to the system. The restrictions include access to certain directories, system calls, capabilities, and more. The systemd.exec(5) man page describes them all [1]. To see an overview of the security of daemons run “systemd-analyze security” and to get details of one […] Interesting video about the hack of Andrew Tate’s The Real World site [1]. Informative video about Nick Fuentes covering the racism, anti-semitism, misogyny, and how he is clearly in denial about being gay [2]. It ends with his arrest. Hopefully the first of many arrests. This is what conservatives support. Insightful article covering the history […] The Aim I just bought a Hisense 65U80G 65″ Inch 8K ULED Android TV (2021 model) for $1,568 including delivery. I got that deal by googling refurbished 8K TVs and finding the cheapest one I could buy. Amazon and eBay didn’t have any good prices on second hand 8K TVs and new ones start at […] I recently got a OnePlus 6 for the purpose of running Debian, here’s the Debian wiki page about it [1]. It runs Debian nicely and the basic functions all work, but the problem I’m having now is that AldiMobile (Telstra) and KoganMobile (Vodafone) don’t enable VoLTE for that and all the Australian telcos have turned […] Interesting news about NVidia using RISC-V CPUs in all their GPUs [1]. Hopefully they will develop some fast RISC-V cores. Interesting blog post about using an 8K TV as a monitor, I’m very tempted to do this [2]. Interesting post about how the Windows kernel development work can’t compete with Linux kernel development [3]. Paul […] Centralisation and Corporations An advantage of a medium to large company is that it permits specialisation. For example I’m currently working in the IT department of a medium sized company and because we have standardised hardware (Dell Latitude and Precision laptops, Dell Precision Tower workstations, and Dell PowerEdge servers) and I am involved in fixing […] Julius wrote an insightful blog post about the “modern sleep” issue with Windows [1]. Basically Microsoft decided that the right way to run laptops is to never entirely sleep, which uses more battery but gives better options for waking up and doing things. I agree with Microsoft in concept and this is something that is […] Two months ago I bought a Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen3 [1]. I’m still very happy with it, the screen is a great improvement over the FullHD screen on my previous Thinkpad. I have yet to discover what’s the best resolution to have on a laptop if price isn’t an issue, but it’s at least 1440p […] I previously wrote about the possibility of transferring work between devices as an alternative to “convergence” (using a phone or tablet as a desktop) [1]. This idea has been implemented in some commercial products already. MrWhosTheBoss made a good YouTube video reviewing recent Huawei products [2]. At 2:50 in that video he shows how you […] |
