  1. So what do those log look like?

    Like "Mon Jan 14 14:39:37 CET 2019: A station associated!"?

  2. Last time I checked, the device has to talk to the AP in order to authenticate.

    At least Ford terminates all CAN busses right on the DLC instead of having a stupid ass gateway in front of it.

  9. These are root CA certs. Their very specific permission is to be able to sign other certs, including intermediate CA certs, by the way.

    Not saying the system is the bee's knees, but clearly you don't know the first thing about it.

  10. Jaywalking in Germany is only illegal if you do it in reasonable proximity (don't know if there's an exact number) of a pedestrian crossing.

    Then again, many Germans will not cross a red light even when the roads are completely empty and it's like 3am. Always makes me chuckle and cringe at the same time.

    With 50000 entries in your hosts file (why do people keep capitalizing it BTW?) your stub resolver must perform like shit. You're essentially slowing down everything that requires DNS, which these days is practically anything.

    You may want to consider dropping the fugly hack that is hosts file based "blocking" and go for a more sensible approach. Just food for thought.

    Besides, in what way does SysInternals go against the Linux way of doing things?

    You seem to have gone on autopilot there. I haven't said it's against any way of doing anything. I merely find the idea of porting that amusing (have you even considered how portable sysinternals is going to be given what it does?) and pointless.

    Similarly, I install PowerShell when I make a Linux system.

    Wow

    I don't see what the reply has to do with the quoted part, or with the whole comment for that matter.

    What's fanboyish about pointing out that there's no need to port over the highly Windows-specific ersatz-instrumentation when the target OS already has it?

    Some people may want folks to come over to linux, but that doesn't mean they want those folks to bring the windows approach to operating systems over to linux.

    If they're looking for a Linux that's a perfect (or imperfect) clone of Windows, they should probably stick with Windows, because it's not going to happen and it would be an incredibly pointless exercise too.

    strace, ltrace, hell, dtrace. if you have the source and aren't incompetent, gdb and valgrind.
    are just the first few that come to mind.

    Oh, you're looking for a tool *exactly* like file/regmon that craps out tens of thousands of lines in a piss poor performing text widget, faster than it can actually handle the input, so by default you have to add blacklisting filters (in addition to the dozen blacklisting filters that come preinstalled) to even narrow down the data to what you may be looking for? Yeah, sorry, I don't think that's happening, nor that anybody really needs/wants it. And it only makes sense for the classical Windows problem "something is wrong but nothing tells me even remotely what may be going on so I'll have to look at all processes and the kernel at the same time", anyway.

    Correct. However, no one wants to really learn how to use those tools.

    The premise here is people switching their OS, isn't it? I'd say the people who don't want to learn how to use new tools would also not want to learn how to use a new OS?

    This is actually funny and sad. Don't the MS people realize that the only reason for using "sysinternals" is that their OS doesn't come with decent instrumentation by default? This toolset doesn't even come close to what's natively available in Unix or Linux.

    smh

  23. And, as with any such system, they occasionally fail, produce false positives, false negatives, you name it. Yes, that also goes for humans. But I think it's dangerous to make that claim of yours unqualifiedly.

    I have never seen, or even heard about, a quartz crystal failing. And given that it's a solid state thing, I can't picture how they could fail in the first place.

    So how is MEMS more reliable, especially in the light of this story about them failing en masse?

    Third, I wonder if MEMS comes close to the accuracy of a quartz crystal (frequently measured in single digit ppm or even less!)
