    The solution is to educate people, period. Send them to this thread and start educating them. Whining didn't pay off before and I don't see when it is going to.

    They are basically all the same, with some worse than others but still in the same range.

    Seriously, would you go to Office Depot to get your computer "fixed" ?

    I still buy from such stores if the price is good and I know the product I am buying.

    -never buy extended warranty
    -don't go there if you experience problems except catastrophic failure which luckily never occurred to me yet.

    Basically, I consider myself more or less on my own.

  17. Hmm... last time I looked, it was the other way around at least for their news channel. They block the streams for Canadian IPs due to pressure from the cable companies. You need cable to access the news channel. The streams are available overseas although.

    Anyway, it tells you a little about the way they think I guess so I am not surprised by TFS.

  18. Re:This is interesting on Leaked NASA Paper Suggests The 'Impossible' EM Drive Really Does Work (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    Very funny ;-)

    I never said I was ignoring units! On the contrary, I said I would simplify them in a fashion similar you would use to simplify fractions and not worry about the more complex units until I reached the result. For example, if the result is expected to be a force, your result has to be in kg * m/s^2 otherwise you made a mistake along the way.

    This is actually best practice.

    Hey, hey! Good one!

    meters, seconds, kilograms. distance, time, mass. I guess you can define all other units from them in Kinetics and even easily upgrade formulas with c. Add A for I (electric current), and I wonder if there is any other...

    In conventional physics exams back then, I use to simplify the units and not worry about the name of the unit per say and get very good grades. This kind of thinking allows you to realize that the mass of a satellite in orbit is irrelevant with regards to its distance to the Earth. The demonstration is left to the reader ;-)

  20. Linux driver as well? on Nvidia Adds Telemetry To Latest Drivers (ghacks.net) · · Score: 1

    I can't seem to find any comments telling if it is implemented in the Linux drivers as well?

    Anyway, as another poster as mentioned, I guess somebody will have to run tcpdump and see where it connects, then block those IPs, unless the driver stops working without it but I would doubt it since video would stop working on non-connected machines.

  24. Re:Where exactly was the bug... on Google's 'Project Zero' Hid A Major Vulnerability in Apple's OS and iOS Cores (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I get your point.

    It all boils down to the right time to go full disclosure.

    Too early; systems don't get time to be patched. Too late; information eventually leaks and prices on the black market go down to "buy" the exploit so it becomes easier and more common to see it used.

    That's what I meant about ethical solution. Lately, we see more and more people publicly disclosing holes without even warning the developers. So yes, at least Project Zero seems to have made an effort regarding full disclosure time.

    As for:

    In most of the EU, some US states, and most of the Commonwealth countries, a manufacture is required to repair defects indefinitely that are likely to cause harm to others.

    It seems just like a matter of who is going to pay the bill for securing their systems. It's sounds political and I'd rather not get involved.

    Note that an interesting turn pushing your point although is the recent large scale DDOS that have occurred. Those non-repaired machines could turn into IOTs! Nevertheless, unpatched systems have been around for ever with some people still running Windows 97, etc. so it will be interesting to see.

    My crystal ball says chances are slims those unpacthed systems will turn into DDOS devices but who knows?
