    Years ago, when Microsoft was looking into the often reported claim that Windows slows down over time until reformat and reinstall. While most slow down is from apps on startup, they found spinning hdds actually did slow down over time (latency went up). They found that windows would expect some event to happen in a certain time frame and when it didn't, things didn't go smoothly. They made assumptions and their research showed them a bunch of things they were doing to exacerbate the issue. The conclusion, move to flash storage. Too bad I can't find it now.

    You're right and wrong. Both Clear Linux OS and ClearOS are Cent OS based. However, when you said ClearOS instead of ClearLinux OS, you were confusing with the small business server ClearOS. ClearOS is not Clear Linux OS.

    You generally had same area code and exchange, so you just had to remember 4 digits of your friends number that you actually dialled, not Contacts. And it became muscle memory. I can muscle memory a number pad better than 1-9,0 in a row.

    I saw a similar title earlier today and gave 1 fuck, "what a dumb name". Fuck, why are OS names so shitty?

  16. I'm in Canada with half a dozen credit cards, and I've only noticed once where I could see a transaction within last hour from online account. So many times, shit would get buffered over the weekend and I'd have a huge Monday disappointment. Pending authorization transactions didn't appear for most of my accounts for many years. There is some sort of racket going on to get over limit fees and I've had a few overturned for having wrong default limit behaviour. They feel they are saving you embarrassment of decline on a $1 charge for a drink with a $29 fee. Then I had to remind them of all the times my pin would just stop working when they sent me replacement cards or they were compromised so spending $29 to spend $1 is fucking ludicrous.

  17. In BC, just a little north from you, there's a limit to rent increases, like 3% a year. My rent increases were $30/year.

    I'd download it, but my hosts file doesn't contain an entry for that domain. I'm sure no one else does, either. So what the fuck? Why wouldn't you post the fucking IP instead? FFS, that's your typical nonsensical magical hosts file thinking.

  22. Re: Cludge fix? on Apple Is Testing a Feature That Could Kill Police iPhone Unlockers (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Yes, and there are trivial software mitigations. Just adding random timing loops in certain places and nop's in others prevented many attacks. You're trying to glitch past various checks that prevent access. Just randomizing the boot operation will take out many attacks. In later cams, the power supply is isolated to prevent glitches and glitch detection circuitry added. But all those implementation bugs from early generations allowed attacks without glitching, just very clever attacks. Basically, the first cards had very little security which allowed them to be dumped and reversed (like finding backdoor keys). From there, other flaws could be used to dump future generations without glitchers or SEMs. You can see from the Graykey stuff, they can work across several iOS versions spanning years.

    Are you fucking serious? That's some weak give up shit attitude. Apple has access to the fucking code, cash and tons of smart people. If you don't think there's countermeasures they are leaving on the table you are fucking wrong. They have demonstrated dropping the ball on QA several times. This is another case. They were so late to fuzz testing, they don't try hard enough. The guy who heads up Apple's spy division really dropped the fucking ball here and must be under the gun for being all talk and not getting results.

    You employ them in the security department. It's pretty common to lock up the actual talent for 2-3 years when dropping off a truckload of cash to a few smart dudes.
