Was the Eqifax breech because of the march strus flaw or a more recent one?

Just making sure the actual facts are known.

The one from March.

THe UAP-AC?

4 years ago I was buying the UAP there was the square AC model but I am pretty sure ( on phone now can't look) it was called something other than UAP-AC...

The square AC model is the UAP-AC. The UAP-AC v2 was the round one that followed it.

It's hard to figure out when it originally released, can't find anything on UBNT's site. But I can find online references to it going back a ways.

Ok, well in that case nevermind all is good. I haven't been able to dig into it as I'm dealing with issues in the field.

@dustinb3403 Phone I do then cheapest plan possible.

Lies, no one outright buys their phone.

I do. It's becoming more and more common.

@scottalanmiller said in Cmder - Terminal emulator:

What happened is that DOS era had the Ctrl-V and then around the NT era they moved to the Shift-Insert mode to match UNIX because everyone had conflicts in the CTRL keys. But MS left both options for people used to the old one. But lots of people still teach the old ones as the default instead of the new, which is the biggest issue, so things have not changed over time.

That explains it. Thank you! I was one of the ones that learned the old way.

@mlnews said in LXC 2.1 Containers Releases:

Not an LTS release.

But does it matter?

It does if you are a person that wants LTS (e.g. you hate keeping your systems up to date) and like run Ubuntu LTS, and want to update LXC and this would cause an LTS conflict.

This application pretty soon might work on Windows 10 too, it is a matter of time I guess someone will modify it if it is left on the Internet like this.

@scottalanmiller Yeah, I did that too, but the payback was so small compared to the cost of the books. College textbooks are such a scam.

That's just an expensive rental fee 🙂

Yep!

WTF is "The Chocolate Factory"?

Apparently a stupid nickname for Google started by The Register.

It is not a new nickname. I have no idea if The Register started it or not, but I have seen it around.

What a weird one it is, it's so obtuse even reading the article I could not figure out that they were talking about Google. I had to read the technical article that they referenced.

@coliver said in 19 PCIe Slot Board to Crunch Crypto hashes being released soon:

I wonder if this could be used in other serialized applications? Machine learning? Genomic research? Seems like this has a much broader application then just mining.

Yes, but there are bigger systems for that.

@irj said in Google Introduces Chrome Enterprise:

I shared this with my team. I think this may be a Windows killer, but everyone else is skeptical. What do you guys think?

The Windows killer is "customers with a clue" and "the capability to move to modern software". Put those together, nearly everyone can drop Windows. Not everyone, but most everyone.

Thanks, fixed now. That's what you get for letting your husband get involved, no proof reading. But most of you are used to that by now from him.

haha yep

Bother, phone didn't cooperate with those then 😐

You have to have a topic selected prior to adding tags to make them stick.

@scottalanmiller While I think the scope of the request is a bit broad and has privacy concerns for other people not related to those arrested. I do not believe that there is an issue with the government trying to see if the people that were arrested did go to that website and did plan. It changes what charges and what sentencing can be rendered so it is pertinent to the case. I believe it should be a more narrow request than what it was.

Right, a narrow, appropriate request would be for the court case. This is not what a warrant related to the court case would look like.

I also know though you always ask for the moon and then settle for what you really want.

If they get the chance to do that. And you don't ask for the moon when it makes it into a court case exposing your department for corruption and an attack on the American people and the appearance of attempting to stifle free speech in order to promote a political agenda.

@marcinozga said in Reiser4 Update for Linux:

Um, I don't know how I really feel about it. Reiser was mediocre file system to begin with, XFS was much better in every possible use case, and still is. If anything, they should rename the damn thing, having a name after murderer is never a good thing.

ReiserFS was really great at handling massive numbers of tiny files. That was its strong suit. It was good enough that Suse used it by default.
