    Before pasting that into a shell, you might want to add:

    Especially if you're doing it on a remote box over ssh with large buffers and a slow link :-(

    I'd guess the cost of one of those (something like a RPi) would be ~$20 each.

    And the cost of a medically certified one would be ~$2000 each.

    If I can't type/work on the train, I might as well drive, it's faster and I don't have to sit next to possible muggers.

    A coworker was running Mint on his work MBP, but I think he's running QubesOS now.

  6. Post Title wrong... on Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC Vulnerability Could Compromise IoT Security (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The post title was interesting, but wrong. The problem isn't with the SoC, but rather the implementation of Android wrt said SoC. Very different...

    Especially after my honey-pot has led them down there and locked them in.

  8. Re:I want to control my statements on Paperless Statements Not Always Best Choice, Says New Report · · Score: 1

    The signature would be to prevent malicious revision by the company after the fact. "That deposit you say you made? We never received it." Very unlikely, true, but easy to protect against for a small cost.

  9. I want to control my statements on Paperless Statements Not Always Best Choice, Says New Report · · Score: 1

    So I want a local copy, not trusting the company to provide access when (possibly years later, or after I terminate my account), but I'm not a web developer so coding up a script to log into each of my accounts and authenticate via whatever wacky scheme they've come up with this month to try to make it harder to phish their customers, and then find any new statements and download them automatically.

    Turns out there's a perfect solution to this: email. If it's good enough for a password reset, it should be good enough for a statement. Of course it should be signed electronically by the company such that I (or a court) can easily validate it, and encrypted for me based on the public key I attached to my account. The encryption of the emails (both signing and actual encryption) would be somewhat computationally expensive, but nothing like the paper and stamp.

  10. Re:Form Factor not "Format" on Google Proposes New Hard Drive Format For Data Centers (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    My first HDD was $2000, 330 MB, and full-height 5.25"

    But my college house-mate had an external 5MB, about the size of 4 shoeboxes, and sounded like a vacuum.

    Not that I was very likely to buy a Tesla, but I never would now. Between the CEO with his nickers in a twist over a blog entry and their ability to remote-control their cars, I've completely lost interest in owning one.

    I've thought about doing something similar. What were you using the analog I/O for measuring? Insolation, air & water temperature? I figure for temps the 1-wire devices from Dallas/Maxim would work. Not sure I'd even need insolation as my current system doesn't.

    I'd love it if there were an associated table which was sortable by a number of criteria; say cores, MHz, RAM, Flash, Price, etc.

  23. I still have to work hard to restrain myself from buying stuff like that. I nearly got myself a $3500 Boxzy.com CNC/3d-printer/laser-engraver, but managed to resist and instead just bought some more cheap electronics project stuff (total ~$100).

    Not sure why/what changed in me/life but I don't remember this urge to buy stuff to do projects in the past. In the past I had more time and less money I guess, so I just did the projects I could afford to do, rather than spending small amounts of time and large amounts of money buying supplies/tools for projects I don't really have time for. Well, maybe when I retire in another 20 years...

    Just yesterday I tried to buy a soda at the mall, but there was a windows dialog on the screen and it was totally non-responsive. It wasn't worth an encounter with the mall-cops to try to unplug/replug it.
