If an average person were laid off today and couldn't find a job for 1-2 months, would they go bankrupt? I think most people would be able to survive on their savings for a month or two. Companies should also be held to the same standard. They should have enough savings to survive this sort of disruption, just like a person would.

So yeah, if your company can't survive a month without revenue, it is a crappier than average business.

With eBPF, hot-patching servers will take a very short time to start the extensive downtime, plus the consequent reboot of 20,000 servers.

How do I use it on my phone then?

SFTP where? The "cloud"?

> Why do people try so hard to use "cloud" based clearly unsecure solutions?

Because it is the easiest and most convenient and most useful.

I don't like wfh because I don't like being all alone at home all day. But my preference for office hinges upon the presence of other people in office too! That's why I encourage everyone to come to office and work.

> the commission should make rulings that require that providers of Internet service (ISPs) shall not intentionally or unintentionally interfere with any legitimate use of the network bandwidth between the end user and the service provider communicating with that end user.

You forgot the most important part of the comment that the FCC really wants to hear from the public : why?

Even if hydrogen is the future, Toyota must realize that the present is battery electric. They can continue research on future tech while they rise to the market demands in the present.

I must say security researchers have certainly risen to the challenge of naming vulnerabilities in a way that conveys information and sounds cool too.

Apple can only stand up to the US government when it comes to privacy and security. They will refuse to unlock a terrorist's iphone when FBI requests it. They can do this because of the fundamental liberty everybody is granted in the US to everybody. The real test of character is how a company reacts to an authoritarian regime like China. That's what reveals the true nature.

And Apple has completely shit the bed in this regard. Google has handled it so much more beautifully.

I used this one for my BE in electronics. Casio 991es. If you look at the button just below the ON button, that is the logx function.

dingo_bat — Sun, 08 Sep 2019 17:09:34 +0000

In my experience windows utilizes ram much better. It will cache programs and data at times it anticipates you will use them. For example it will cache outlook at 9 am in the morning because that's the time I check my email.

At all times only a very small fraction of my ram is free.

Any proper scientific calculator also has a dedicated logx button.

If you have a Microsoft or Logitech mouse you can map a button to a macro that types your password. It works well with rdp password fields.

I think you've used only bad devices so you've had a bad experience. Use a good pair of Bluetooth headphones like Sony WH1000 or Bose Qc35 along with a good phone like Galaxy S10. It's perfect. No cut outs, amazing quality, insane range.
