I grabbed an iLife brand one from (I think) gearBest on special for ~$176AUD delivered (from memory as an impulse buy while shopping for quadcopter parts...)

Turns out it's a few weeks short of 2 years old now, and it's still going strong. (It's kinda slow to charge, but at least thats kind to the batteries.)

It works fine for me - and I've had friends who've got real Roombas who say theirs doesn't work as well. I _think_ you sometimes get lucky with the wheels/traction and your particular carpet - mine does it's least-good job in the most rarely used room (spare bedroom) where the carpet is fluffier. It occasionally gets "trapped" in there. But I probably wouldn't have ever pulled the trigger at a $600 pricepoint.
In infosec theory, sure.

In reality though I want a working BIOS password that stops everyone who isn't an experienced, knowledgable attacker. Setting up a BIOS password should make it really hard to access a machine. Obviously I don't have any expectation of it being impossible, but it should at least stop Jane from Accounting being able to access a laptop by Googling for a default backdoor. This would let her. That is a problem that shouldn't be downplayed.

Don't know about the knock-offs. But Ecovacs makes a line of roomba competitors that match up as well or better and cost 75% as much.
This "wash dishes during cooking and after eating" recipe sounds like just washing in two batches, interrupted by eating. The post-meal dishes will include many of the cooking pots/bowls/cutting boards, because you served the food from them. And many people like to kick back after dinner or go to work after breakfast, not jump right into dishwashing.

The extra "during cooking" dishwashing steps of intermediate pots, knives, cutting boards, grating boards, and other intermediate cooking tools & pots, blender parts etc may
satisfy a sense of order in the kitchen but it's but
that's not enough to sway most people over.

And now the dishwasher feels like a good idea again. And
you can accumulate dishes in it all day, so it also handles
the between meals glasses, coffee mugs, french presses, sandwich making dishes etc.
This assumes that there is enough hashrate left to reach the next difficulty adjustment (every 2016 blocks).

This is even worse because it would likely be corralated with a loss of market value for Bitcoin, which lessens the incentive to mine. Combined with the ease at which miners can switch to another coin (or, at least, another bitcoin fork), and it is easy to imagine a death spiral where Bitcoin simply fails to lower its difficulty because it does not have enough hashrate to do so.
I didn't mean people would buy things with votes. People could just keep a list of things they need in order of importance and the system would only use those lists to calculate the optimal allocation of resources, for example.

We'd need to test what works best. I don't have the details of such a system because it doesn't exist. All I'm trying to say is that we could come up with other ways to allocate resources than the price mechanism with our current level of technology. What I just came up with is just one way you might go about doing it, I'm sure we could figure out a working system. Of course such a system would have it's own faults, but I believe we could come up with something better than the current system, where the "needs" of a billionaire are more important than the needs of a million people in poverty.
I thought Intel ME is embedded into the CPU die itself. Unless Apple actively disables it like some niche manufacturers, it is present and enabled.

Your post is very uninformed.

Transaction speed is a function of timestamping mechanism of the consensus protocol. If that’s the only measure you decide whether the currency is shit - fair, don’t use it.

FWIW cross-bank transfers aren’t instant too, shall I give you my credentials so you could promptly dispense of all the worthless shit money you have?

Lightning network is active on mainnet, not sure what exactly batted that information from reaching you.

Revokation of debit cards had nothing to do with bitcoin and there are plenty of companies that still offer them.

That some merchants choose to drop support because low value transactions aren’t economical is unfortunate but also temporary.

> when it consumes more energy than my entire country, it is

Nope, still not a blip. So yourself a favor and spend more than 5 seconds to inform yourself on the topic.

> How about you look up the word in your dictionary, called environment?

You’re conflating energy use with energy source, nobody is burning oil to mine bitcoins - those guys are out of business.

> wake me up when

That explains everything - instead of informing yourself on the topic you just went to sleep. Bitcoin debit cards mostly cover those requirements btw.
Setting the bios password should set the AMT password as well, seems only logical

I'm reminded of my time in Berkeley. Now, in spite of what Fox News might tell you, Berkeley is one of the most ridiculously upper class places possible. But, it's right next to Oakland, a place that... isn't.

Becuase this is a very real practical exploit. Having such grossly insecire defaults is a security issue. Intel AMT should be disabled by default and enabled from the BIOS after the password is provided.

The Chromecast Audio allows me to plug it into any standard stereo. Bang for the buck I can get much better speakers for the dollar when buying just normal speakers instead of "smart" speakers. I then plug the Chromecast Audio into it and get the same ability to Cast to it, and include it into groups. The ability to add it to Cast groups is one of the key reasons I like it over just a Bluetooth connection.

So to sum up:
* Bang for the buck get better audio quality
* Still get all of the same Cast features (WiFi casting, group casting, etc.)

Hope that helps! :)

As you must be aware, population growth comes from high family size which in turn comes from the need to ensure one's support at old age.

In extremely poor societies, where there are no pensions or social security for the old, the best way to make sure you have food and shelter when you're too old to work is to have many children.

Got into the Ubiquiti gear a while ago and definitely no regrets! Not a network guy myself and so really appreciate the controller just making it easy to mange things.

Is there a reason you cannot mount it on the wall just above the bookshelf? One of the things I really like about the Unifi gear is how just small and inconspicuous it is. It really helped sell it when I suggested it to my mom and other family members. Mounted most of the APs for them on the ceilings, but a few of them are wall mounted as well. The ceiling ones look nicer than any smoke detecter I have ever seen.

So I actually really like the UniFi gear for that when compared to some crazy Linksys gamer router that just looks... so over done.

This is risking a flame war, but I'd suggest anyplace with so little sun has "uncontroversially" terrible weather. It literally causes health issues.

Also, a city doesn't need good weather all year to have better weather than Seattle.

All that said, I personally doubt weather (and execs' preferences about it) will factor directly into the decision.

The implication of this comment is that the poor quality of Netflix's Android app is due to Netflix having been unable to access sufficient engineering talent to produce a better quality app. As an outsider that has experience developing software, I'm extremely doubtful that this is the case and am apt to blame it on executive-level prioritization almost out of hand.

This tcpdump should show mDNS packets -- if you're getting hundreds per second (in some seconds), like I was, that's probably a good indication that something is misbehaving (or that you have a _really_ big network). If googlecast shows up in the name, it's probably Google Cast misbehaving.

"HOW DO THEY SLIP THROUGH? - The problem: The city has yet to rule on about 1,300 applications that are missing a unit number or specific address. Until the new ordinance required that Airbnb collect that information, most hosts would list their home without an address or specific location, one way to avoid detection if the unit was in a building that prohibited vacation rentals. It's possible that some hosts deliberately filed an application without an address, hoping it would allow them to stay one step ahead of city regulators."

Interesting you brought this up. Unless the listing is unbelievably attractive, a listing without a number or address just seems sketchy to me. Makes me think its the analog of a hourly rented motel.
My Chromecast works quite well, at least the connection is quite stable casting from my mobile. 10s wait is kinda acceptable for me.

I love these quotes from the "BeOS Heads for the Mainstream" article of April, 1999:

I should have asked this question on HN b/c I just got married 2 weeks ago! We hired a wedding planner but my wife and I used the following "tech":

- https://www.greenvelope.com - we wanted to get the word out fast so we used electronic save the dates and wedding invitations

- PayPal - different vendors accepted different payment methods so we used PayPal to manage most of it

- Google Spreadsheets - we listed out table seating, meal options, gifts and more and shared with our wedding planner and other family members

- https://soundwaveprosdj.com - this is our DJ's site which allowed us to find and select specific songs. For example, I selected a string quartet version of Guns and Roses Sweet Child of Mine when walking down the isle

- Yelp - that's how we found our wedding planner and my tuxedo shop

- YouTube - we live-streamed our wedding ceremony:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6p9OA33E8M

- Marriott - we did a wedding room block at the Marriott but in order for guests to book a room online, they sent us a link where the dates and pricing were exposed in plain-text as query string parameters. Sure enough if you changed one of these param values, the web page would show it!

Well the article does suggest a mechanism to apply.

As for the problem with SSH and login: You might well find that it is not the fork that is the problem. You might well be surprised at how much chaff is run by a login shell, or even by non-login shells.

A case in point: I recently reduced the load on a server system that involved lots of SCP activity by noticing that, thanks to RedHat bug #810161, every SCP session even though it was a non-login non-interactive shell was first running a program to enumerate the PCI bus, to fix a problem with a Cirrus graphics adapter card that the machine did not have on a desktop environment that the machine did not have. This driven by /etc/bashrc sourcing /etc/profile.d/* .

What makes you think Android isn't audited besides insufficient knowledge on the subject? Wouldn't you think that the most popular OS in the world that has the top security researchers and companies combing through its source code trying to find vulnerabilities for over a decade would classify as being somewhat audited? I find it odd that you would not "touch Android with a 10ft pole" yet have no problem touching an OS that you, or a security researcher, can't audit the source code of. Security through obscurity doesn't work and your pole can't really help you when it bites you and it will.
In the summer it's pretty nice. I don't remember but I'm not a fan of super cold water and I found it enjoyable. In the winter the harbour freezes, though it remains navigable (i.e. not thick ice; more of a skin, but it gives you an idea of the winter temperature).
ME and AMT aren't the same thing. AMT uses the ME, but the presence of ME does not imply the presence of AMT.

Apple doesn't sell any products with vPro as far as I know, and certainly doesn't offer any way of configuring it pre-boot.
Great job! This is what I am looking for a long time.
What's mid boggling is that Intel will very likely get away scot free from all of this. If anything, it will provide a nice boost for newer Intel CPUs.

It's marvelous.
Intel AMT has to be enabled not disabled, this is what people not seem to get.

If UEFI portion is missing, if the drivers and the OS AMT software is missing it won’t work.

Yes in theory you still might be able to use the CPU portion of it via the Intel ME MSRs but those don’t do much on thier on.

> Wash my dishes, dry them and put them away completely automatically.

Here's the solution:

1. Get a 2nd dishwasher.

2. Get two placards, one that says "clean" and the other that says "dirty". Affix one to each washer.

3. When you need a dish, take it from the washer with the "clean" placard. When you're done with it, put it in the washer marked "dirty".

4. When the dirty washer is full and the clean washer is empty, run the dirty washer and swap the placards.

Voila! Now you never have to waste any time putting away your dishes.

Yeah 241 is not commonly or ever used for weapons, it just could be. it's always easier and more practical to use u235 or pu239. Other fissile nuclides no one makes bombs out of include Americium-242m and Curium-244. Technically, sophisticated weaponeers can work with non-fissile but still fissionable nuclides like Pu240 but it's harder. But that's why the IAEA defines significant quantities of plutonium without specifying the isotopics.

People actually fell for this? First of all, it's doubtful North Korea could launch an ICBM that is capable of hitting it's target. Second, even if it could, I doubt the US doesn't have an anti-missile system capable of interception. And finally, if it was Russia that launched it, you'd be fucked anyway.

All this shows is how susceptible Americans are to fake news.
