All the details are missing. What technology is being utilized? Those speed results are common in comparing SATA to NVMe SSDs. All the laptops I see with a M.2 are shipped with a SATA SSD. I find it hard to believe any laptop with a NVMe SSD is only getting 399.4 MB/s write speed (Dell XPS 13). For NVMe, I see 2100 MB/s on the low end and 2600 MB/s on the high end (with X4). The "BlackMagic Disk Speed test for macOS" returned a score of 2,682 MB/s, which I admit is pretty fast for a laptop, but not "insane". A better question is what are the failure rates? NVMe SSDs get hot. What cooling technology breakthrough is Apple using? Is there an empty 2.5 inch bay for more storage and backup (like my HP)? Without proper cooling, NVMe SSDs are begging to fail.
What is the quality control abilities of these automated food preparers? If a cockroach crawls onto the burger does the robot flick it off? Can it recognize foreign matter on the burger like plastic bits or a sheet metal screw? Creating burgers, like much food prep, is part art (chef) and part repetitive motion (teenager). Sure, I have to go to Chick filet to get my pickles evenly distributed, unlike the other burger joints where they stack them in the middle, but at least humans are looking at the pickles to make sure they are the right color, or even pickles! No thanks, I'll go to a real burger joint, or in-n-out, where I eat once a month (no regrets). If you complain about the tiny patties, get a 3x3. They're quite good. As previously posted, humans are underrated. You can program a human to make a burger in a couple minutes. Most of them have already been programmed to recognize a bad pickle.
Shift into neutral. If your transmission has only electronic controls, then you really do not ever have control of your car. I once had an object obstruct the carburetor throttle on my old Buick (an acorn left by a squirrel). When the car kept going 70 after hitting the brakes, I immediately shifted to neutral. I could actually keep driving by shifting between neutral and drive (bad for tranny but kept me going). Every time I use cruise control I am horrifically aware that I am putting my life in the hands of some under paid programmer. I don't want to get a new car because I like my key. My key can turn off the engine without locking the steering wheel or turning off the any electronics like my radio or Bluetooth (Acura). My step mother forgets to turn off her car because she takes her key fob when leaving but forgetting to push a button. People leaving these types of cars on in their garage have died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Many electronics in vehicles are solutions looking for a problem. If you need a damn key fob, why not just stick it in and turn it? Remember having to get your ass up to change the TV channel? Now get off my lawn!
Yeah, a better title would have been "Mosaic turns 25". It wasn't the best and it wasn't the first, but it was pioneering. I'm old, back to the BBS days, but Mosaic didn't float my boat, Netscape did. I'm sure we'll get the "Netscape turns 25" next year or so. The fun fact I remember is that Mozilla is short for "Mosaic Killer". Also, SeaMonkey rules.
They did nothing until months later. Why are there a myriad of anonymous posts claiming that WD was quick to fix this? Do we need a Western Digital Employee filter?
All situations are different. You should know best your relationship with your employer. I was laid off my last job. They gave me eight months notice. They hired me back as a consultant for 8 hours per week. That was 5 years ago and I still work there. They were the first of my many customers.
From Mozilla.org: "Pocket strips away clutter and saves the page in a clean, distraction-free view". Why can't I have a clean distraction-free view without an account?
I tried it. I thought it would be a big improvement with all the hype, but it looks like MS Edge. Unused space next to the home button, it shares data by default (that sucks), has multiple buttons to save a page as favorite (why?), the "Find" toolbar is on the bottom (why?), it still doesn't switch to new tabs by default, and NoScript doesn't seem to work yet. Why do I need an account to use Pocket? Better yet, why is there a help page instructing how to remove the Pocket icon? I would like fewer icons, not more. At least F12 works well.
Be warned that the NotPetya read-only perfc file vaccination method only skips encryption on local system, it does not stop NotPetya from searching and infecting other systems over the network using psexec/WMIC/LSAdump. Sophos claims the psexec/WMIC/LSAdump network infection method will infect fully patched Windows 10 systems.
You should not use ICMP to determine actual network latency because you don't know what the priority for ICMP is on each router. They almost always have ICMP as the lowest priority out of the box.
The scan to folder functions on some copiers haven't upgraded their SMB yet, so they cannot save scans to folders without SMBv1. Your choices are get a new copier (or copier with different vendor), enable SMBv1 on the server (bad idea), or use FTP (bad but not as bad idea). I've come across servers that had SMBv1 enabled just for this. One copier vendor wanted major cash to get the latest firmware. WTF? I've had good luck with Toshiba and Xerox. Sharp and Ricoh can kiss my ass. Forums are filled with "techs" advising to enable SMBv1 on the server. Yikes!
I don't watch CSI, but I do know quite a few cops. I vent here because if I criticized them to their faces they would put me in jail for resisting arrest. No joke.
It took 15 months to figure this out and now the guy is out on bail? His gun matches, he had major insurance, and the husband is always the prime suspect. This investigation should have taken weeks. Ellington seems to have had 4 murders in the past 12 years, including this one. Must have been a high priority case. I'll bet the crime scene had over a dozen cops onsite eating donuts. The next day they went back to their speed traps.
Field input limitations make using phrases as passwords a limited option. Did you really crack "MGai4meO..." in less than 3 seconds? I suspect hyperbole. This is a frequently discussed topic. In my experience, when cracking, I must introduce character sets, depending upon language spoken / keyboard layout. "Horse battery yeah whatever" is already loaded as the ASCII character set (128 characters). Add in a few î‘€ symbols from the full ISO 8859-1 character set (try Japanese) and the software requires a bit more time because the full character set is larger than the ASCII character set (63 characters more?). Even hashes and ampersands required a tick box in Lopht to add as a character set. Alas, now we are back to Field Input limitations. If we could use Japanese characters with a 64 bit field length, well, that would make for some interesting passwords, if they were stored correctly.
Yeah, that's great. I'm in IT and my Keepass shows over one thousand entries. I use the mnemonic device method for most passwords, like (examples only) rfhpwtycg (really fucking hard password that you can't guess), or MvEmJsUn (mercury, venus, earth, etc...), oTtFfSsEnT (one, two, three, four, etc...). Using mnemonic devices helps me remember what the password is, but not where it was used. I have at least 10 gmail accounts, 20 other email accounts, and multiple accounts with Cisco, SonicWALL, Office 365, Barracuda, Hostgator, CloudFalare, AT&T, Verizon, 8x8, Register.com, etc, etc, etc... I would never even think about trying to memorize any password except the one that opens Keepass.
I saw this last week so I doubt they have fixed it. It took over the screen and the only thing I could do was kill chrome via ctrl+alt+del. No defense. I had to tell the user to never go to that site (or their history), or use a browser with noscript, like SeaMonkey or Firefox. SeaMonkey with noscript and adblock has saved me a few headaches for users with chrome bloat issues due to too many tabs.
Windows phone 8 user here. Nokia Lumia 928. I've been using it since July 2013. As a warning to all you posers, I support well over 100 phones for users including iPhones and whatever candy named crap Android flavor is out this month. I love this fucking phone. Okay, the apps are a major shortfall, like a good VoIP app, but it does everything I need and it does it well. Great battery life, remote desktop, six email accounts (Exchange, Outlook, 2 Gmail, and 2 IMAP4), iVMS, bandwidth testers, DNS resolvers, keepass, awesome camera, Local Scout, file browser, Office Lens, City Lens, Here Maps, Here Drive, SharePoint integration. The phone is always working and always responsive. I rebooted it in 2014. When I work on a customers phone, I feel sad that it doesn't "just work". iPhone 6? I support many, including my wife's. Where the fuck is the advanced settings menu? Why do the contacts sync for one but not the other account? I checked the fricken box? You can say what you like, but my 3 year old and busted is better than the new hotness I work on every week. I'm holding out for the surface, but I may have to eat shit and get a pixel. That will kill me. If you can suggest a REAL replacement for my wonderful phone, I am all ears. Please don't troll. I may need a new phone in six months.

In other news, my car doors have not opened since I welded them shut.

You mean there are old Asus routers that did not have their capacitors burst? I'm skeptical.

They should definitely ban those tiny rock hammers.

You weren't backing up your wife's data and you have a RAID storage server at home?

Yeah, I'll stick to Seamonkey v2.40 with AdBlock Plus and NoScript. Version 50.0 of anything is either 50 years old, or a shit-storm of code.
