The Constitution pertains to limiting the power of the state, limiting abuses by the people and systems entrusted with enforcing the law, not limiting your neighbors.

Technically it's an IPv4 router once you enable net.ipv4.ip_forward in step 1, the rest is enabling a whole lot of supplementary services and operations not intrinsic to the definition of a router.

> * dotted zero vs slashed zero (i prefer the slashed zero, but dotted is fine as well)

The most shocking revelation that I took from this game is how many coding fonts think it's acceptable to neither slash nor dot their zeroes.

I can't imagine using one of those fonts that leaves 0 and O nearly indistinguishable.

Might be a good idea in general to throw out a few preventative iterations of "Your code is broken, can you find the mistake?" before you even bother reading its initial output

Windows NTP client uses UDP port 123 as both the destination and source port, rather than letting the OS assign an ephemeral source port.

Many ISPs (e.g. AT&T Fiber) block UDP traffic with source port 123 to mitigate NTP amplification attacks.

Most people won't notice that problem since low-end consumer routers tend to mangle the source port when they perform outbound NAT. The ISP-provided router will generally do this itself until you enable "DMZ+" or "IP Passthrough" or some similarly-named mode, as home networking experts will typically do so they can manage NAT and firewalling on their own devices.

If a Windows laptop can sync and the wired Windows desktops can't, your wi-fi AP might be doing the necessary source port mangling.

If you add a NAT rule to your router to change the source port for NTP traffic, you should get time sync working.

Yep, humans have had a remedy for the problem of ambiguity in language for tens of thousands of years, or there never could have been an agricultural revolution giving birth to civilization in the first place.

Effective collaboration relies on iterating over clarifications until ambiguity is acceptably resolved.

Rather than spending orders of magnitude more effort moving forward with bad assumptions from insufficient communication and starting over from scratch every time you encounter the results of each misunderstanding.

Most AI models still seem deep into the wrong end of that spectrum.

There was a Lenovo and an ASUS and an Acer in between but those all went in the graveyard pile before their second year was up and I had to keep resorting to the 2011 Macbook.

And that's counting the extra ~year I got out of the Lenovo after having to replace the fans.

Having user serviceable parts is nice but having parts that last 14 years is better. If there was a brand that did both, that's what I'd buy.

Isn't the real prize the library of personally-identified samples preserved in their "biobank" and not the methodologies or analysis they've applied to it so far...

I thought the touch bar was even worse than the butterfly keys...

I put off upgrading my personal MacBook for years after work issued me a MacBook with the touch bar. Such a usability nightmare for the sake of eye candy. That was a long seven years.

You're somewhat exaggerating the effect, the headline uses past tense and your comparisons don't.

They are only misleading if you allow yourself to be misled by them. It's an extremely informative measurement if you are aware of how it works and don't misinterpret the results.

Traceroute doesn't use ping requests except with the old Windows binary. Usually it uses "Time-to-live (TTL) exceeded in transit" messages.

Beyond that technicality, your guess is often right... Routers will frequently prioritize forwarding packets over sending the TTL exceeded packets tools like MTR use to measure response times.

Steam Deck succeeded where Steam Machines flopped because of nearly a decade of advancement on the Proton compatibility layer, so the catalog of eligible games is orders of magnitude larger than it was in 2015.

When Steam Machines re-launch with the current generation of Proton compatibility it will be an entirely different story.
