I remember during COVID, trying to reduce my bills. Called my mobile operator. For £200 fee I could buy out early, and pay £15 per month. Or I could continue paying something ridiculous like £60 per month.
Absolute no-brainer, and I would never get a contract phone again.
The cheap Chinese stuff often uses knock-off ICs tho.
They can be fairly difficult to detect, and will work for a short time or under very light loads. But they will be nowhere near the spec of the data sheets.
They might massively overheat, not provide the correct currents or voltages, run at lower speeds. All sorts of corners being cut to turn a $2 IC into a 50¢ IC. Or a 50¢ ic into a 5¢ one
So yeh, might be the same PCB layout inside, it might visually look the same (or very very close) but the parts are likely to be counterfeit.
Of course, it’s also probable that name brands might be hit with counterfeit parts inside as well. Hopefully their QA picks that up
Any good RPG has a solid fishing mini game tbh
When metrics become targets they fail to be metrics any more
Larger sites cater towards scriptless web for accessibility requirements.
Smaller sites don’t need SPA, so will most likely work to some degree.
The better (not necessarily bigger) blog systems will use scripting for fancy things, but will have fallbacks and will still work.
It’s the middle tier web-app (and sites that want to be a web app but have no reason to be) that will run SPA without any fallback. You know, the ones that want to send notifications and know your location and all that fun stuff.
Yikes, that’s rough!
Obviously, you need the hat-bag to carry spare hats.
Too advanced for me. Hannah Montana OS for me
Are you 100% sure it was a form from a bank?
Everything stinks of a scammers phishing form, leading to scammer calls.
I expect the only time a bank is going to want your phone number is when you initially sign up with them. After that, they should know who you are and your contact details.
I almost got caught out by a “sorry we missed you” delivery message, until it was asking for my date of birth.
Some of these random emails and SMS can catch you off-guard and seem legit
VMix popularity exploded during the pandemic. A lot of conferences became a blend of teams/zoom/Google and VMix.
Might be hardware based like a multi-m/e video mixer (blackmagic make cheap ones), or maybe more of a screen manager (like barco e2, analog way livecore). But, unless there are production requirements, vmix is much more likely. It’s (now) proven, and much cheaper!
OBS can absolutely do it. There are other open source softwares that can do it.
I’ve seen people bastardise Resolume into something that looks decent.
There are some online studio systems so everything you do is virtualized. Streamyard used to be like this, till it was bought by hopin (I think it was hopin)
You can do reverse proxy on the VPS and use SNI routing (because the requested domain is in clear text over HTTPS), then use Proxy Protocol to attach the real source IP to the TCP packets.
This way, you don’t have to terminate HTTPS on the VPS, and you can load balance between a couple wireguard peers so you have redundancy (or direct them to different reverse proxies or whatever).
On your home servers, you will need an additional frontend(s) that accepts Proxy Protocol from the VPS (as Proxy Protocol packets aren’t standard HTTP/S packets, so standard HTTPS reverse proxies will drop them as unknown/broken/etc).
This way, your home reverse proxy knows the original IP and can attach it to the decrypted http requests as x-forward-for. Or you can do ACLs based on original client IP. Or whatever.
I haven’t found a way to get a firewall that pays attention to Proxy Protocol TCP headers, but I haven’t found that to really be an issue. I don’t really have a use case
USB-C is also ridiculously future proof and flexible, because it’s just a connector.
We are already doing 200w power and 40gbps data transfer rates, using various standards.
Now, standardising on a standard would be neat. But that isn’t going to happen
The satisfaction of solving an issue, making a note in comments where the fix/solution/documentation came from, then closing the 20 odd browser tabs and being able to move on is great.
Oh, it’s out! Amazing.
I can’t wait to play this again and feel like an idiot in a good way
Even spacex had delays for return on their first crew dragon. I’m pretty sure shuttles have had delays as well.
Granted, Boeing seems to have had more trouble overall.
Anyway, seems like these things happen.
People complain about the web build tool chain, bundlers, rollups etc.
And it has been and probably still is pretty stupid.
But at least you can pin and deploy all your dependencies before deploying.
This highlights why pulling in scripts at runtime from sources you don’t control is a worse idea
Ignorance ≠ Climate Denier.
That’s a very dangerous and devicive rhetoric.
Tests is the industry name for the automated paging when production breaks
I always figured the role of president was more of a figure head.
I get the buck stops with them, they can do their veto and special powers thing, and I’m sure there are other “ultimately this is your decision” type things.
But it’s the administration you are voting on.
I’m sure it feels amazing to have “that one guy” steering your country. But, I’m sure they mostly do what their advisors tell them to
