Then they would need to deal with drivers.

What about the internal resistance of the battery? Doesn't that increase with higher current?

As in 1A for 2 seconds uses less actual battery power than 2A for 1 second due to internal loss in the battery?

I may be remembering this wrong, It has been a long time since I studied this stuff.

I still have a Cobalt CacheRaQ (caching proxy server) and a Cobalt VelociRaptor (Firewall) (the blue Cobalt branded one from before they became Symantec products).

Same here in Denmark. Maybe it is easier due to a flat company structure, and micro-managment being less common. It is not expected or even tolerated by workers, who will just jump ship if it happens.

There is no need to call cat to read from a file.

> temp=$(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp)

temp=$(</sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp)

Doesn't work on all phones, like my Pixel 4. That was a big surprise. There is no way to connect anything else but BT.

Anything not based on libvte, it is like a CVE magnet.

In my "Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools" (the dragon book).

A few National security Agency Post-Its with notes.

Only if they are being told the truth. A functional free market requires symmetrical information (ie. both seller and buyer has the same information about the product). It is just a theoretical thing. But you can get closer to that ideal with regulation and strong buyer protections.

It sounds like a free market working as expected. Maybe something important like this needs regulation to prevent optimization based on only one parameter ($).

The recent issues did not have renewable energy as the main cause. Fox News is entertainment, not news (by their own claim).

> Why is the root password hash even in memory in the first place?

Maybe /etc/shadow is in the filesystem cache.

I have lost a few save-games, so I can relate. In my case it was because I forgot about them or the fact that, I did care if they were lost (I rarely game at all).

I have an "offline" Windows 7 gaming PC (only connected to a dedicated file-server, that holds the game installers, drivers, etc). I only use this PC to play Witcher 3, Fallout 3/NV, and a few others. I found this PC (i5-2500K) at the side of the curb, and invested ~$21 in 16GB of RAM, and ~$230 in a GTX 1660 Ti (6GB). It runs my games at Ultra settings in 1080p, so I am pretty happy with it.

It has happened that I have lost save-games because I did a reinstall and forgot some save-games because "There is nothing important on this PC!" ...doh... I then switched to using Duplicati for backing up save games, screenshots and game configs to the dedicated file-server.

I don't bother with that anymore though, because the gaming PC now runs off a FibreChannel SAN backed by ZFS Volumes. So I have snapshot, rollback and clones. Which is also quite useful for testing drivers, and rolling back to "a clean install" or "a clean install + windows updates via WSUS-offline" without waiting for the installer or updates.

So it only needed a "turn-table" base?
