"Boeing has announced flight restrictions on all airlines operating the Boeing 777 aircraft, and we have cancelled or changed the aircraft for some flights to/from the US based on the announcement by Boeing," an ANA spokesman told the Mail. We have asked Boeing for comment.
More beancounter inteference? Or just state of their engineering these days.
(yeah I know cheap shot but I couldn't resist)
The idea strikes me as interesting for interim analytical use - I can't see this survive long as part of a fixed installation because I fear heat will reduce the life of this quite substantially.
I agree. The fairly low power ARM has limited grunt for anything serious, but I could see some use as something like a temporary ntp server or ERSPAN (or netflow) collector.
You're not wrong about the heat, i seem to recall that the article I read elsewhere said it got rather hot after a while.
I read an article by someone who played with that and using it inline might not be so great since throughput was about 125mbit/s, so big hit if you're expecting gigabit link. Far short from "wirespeed" as the company advertises. Perhaps it could tap in to traffic rather than be "in-line" and the chap writing the article missed that.
A difficult job due to a combination of the fact that every mains cable was black cable with an IEC plug on one end, and a standard 3 pin mains plug on the other, and the fact that there was almost no light in the back of the cabinet.
That's where having a tiny zip tie or somethingequivalent is really useful. Wrap it around the cord at known end and slide it down to the other end. Of course if there are any tight bundles that its unlikely to work very well.
They also had the funky Trident.
Looks like electric versions of P50 and Trident are available...
Random app from some company that can access, modify, delete, scramble or sell anything on my computer, that they can change or break at will with the mandatory auto-updates. In case the opportunity for them to screw my computer up wasn't enough, they want to open me up to supply chain attacks. (I refer to cloud OS integration apps generally).
Surprised they don't just do it. Ah maybe that's why they want to force MS account login on Win11....
No reason why it couldn't be. For example A64FX from Fujitsu (that they're replacing SPARC64 with in HPC) is a good example that performance is not an issue. GPU is where the heavy lifting to great extent happens in a console, so the CPU architecture is less important as long as you got enough PCIe lanes.
Would make it bit more cumbersome for the PC-ports of the games tho compared to fairly effortless port.
How much is the average salary at TCS, Infosys, and Wipro?
Median might be better measure, there will be the managment (and probably some TUPE'd employees) that will skew the average.
Given not that there have been number of articles on the three and attrition and alleged "pay hikes", we can probably deduce something.
Halo CE is/was the definitive game in the franchise. I didn't even bother with ODST and more or less gave up on the franchise at that point. I did, in a weak moment, get Guardians and played that through.
I wasn't even going to bother with Infinite, but after the review and comments like yours perhaps the franchise deserves another chance.
The problem is, we've taken commodity white goods that we expect to last at least a decade and stuck a cheap 10€ PCB in it with no support that will turn the item into a dangerous insider in your network within months, that is ready to betray you to the next passing hacking crew.
Within months? I'd say out of the box...
With manufacturers having to carry spare parts now for a decade, at least, that puts the white goods back into the realm of where they should be... Except that they should NEVER be put on your home network, especially, they should not be left on your home network if they are not getting their monthly security updates!
Any so called "smart" things (take TV for example) in my house will be either without any network access or on sewer VLAN with no access to outside world so updates don't matter so much.
It's annoying that its getting more and more difficult to avoid "smart" thingys due to what is available to purchase.
The article brings up memories from dfecades ago when I was designing system based on 68HC11. One chap in the team was not too impressed with BUFFALO and rewrote his own spiffy monitor. Loved working with it tho, must dig through boxes, must still have some cards left somewhere.
The cycle of UV-erasing was fun especially if you didn't pay attention to slight variations of how long was needed for erasure or what the programming voltage of that specific EPROM needed to be.
If that happened, then \<sarcasm mode\>civilisation as we know it would end. All those who got rid of their terrestrial telly dish would be without telly - and for those of use still using terrestrial, some material might be slower arriving on our channels. Hordes of zombies would be unable to drive anywhere through lack of directions from the electronic back seat driver.
That sounds like an improvement.
I had a HP laptop once that had temperamental capacitive touch panel for volume control (may even had wifi switch but can't recall for sure). Fix for when it acted up was to unplug PSU, remove battery and press power on for few seconds. At least with removable batteries you can do a proper reset, unlike the modern laptops with built-in batteries.
When you've been in the industry as long as me, you have an allergy to anything made of paper.
Speak for yourself. I've been doing this for few decades and I prefer good old paper. It is always available whether you have connectivity or not and is not subject to vendor's whims of what is made accessible.
Of course today nothing ships with any actual paper manuals. You get some leaflets of safety or legal blurbs in umpteen languages and any actual manual needs to be downloaded from manufacturer's site which sometimes is an adventure in itself.
I needed to replace a 22" monitor and ideally wanted something bit larger, and likewise ended up getting a 27" curved TV (the desk it went on didn't really accomodate anything larger) at probably less than half the price of equivalent monitor. Picture via HDMI is perfectly fine. The only annoyance is the energy saving "press a button or the tv will turn off" every so often.
Ack.
My toolkit usually also contains C-Kermit. Available for many quite obscure systems as well so often common denominator. Scripting is quite flexible as well. Self-presevation mode in my brain is preventing me from getting into details of some solutions crafted with that.
I've seen quite a few variations of it. I believe the original goes like this:
Achtung! Alles turisten und nonteknischen lookenpeepers! Das komputermaschine ist nicht für der gefingerpoken und mittengraben! Oderwise ist easy to schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparksen. Ist nicht für gewerken bei dummkopfen. Der rubbernecken sightseeren keepen das cottonpicken händer in das pockets muss. Zo relaxen und watschen der blinkenlichten.
So yes, POSIX *is* Unix; it is the core of what makes Unix programs portable between distributions and vendors.
No its not UNIX. But you are getting closer.. key is in the name
MPE/iX is definitely not UNIX, however because it was POSIX compliant you could port lot of things from UNIX to it relatively easily.
Along with dBASE.
To think I used to run dBase II on CP/M machine, on floppies. And now we have clustered instaces hooked up to massive SANs with SSDs and tons of cache (or running on ExaData or something).
Ashton-Tate (or was it bought out by Borland then already, can't recall) did cock it up with dBase IV and hence dBase III was the last "usable" version.
Ironic that so many critical flaws in the PSP. You would that is one bit where they would be extra vigilant.
Perhaps, that is a blessing in disguise and the flaws can be used to improve our security by offering a way to disable or at least effectively neutralize the abomination that it is.
Personally I think the concept of DST is a great one and I wish we went double during June. It's ridiculous how much gorgeous daylight is being wasted between 5am and 7am when it's little use to anyone. Shift it to the evening where we can all enjoy it :) (*)
Who is stopping you from getting up at 5am to enjoy daylight if that is what you want to do?
You have software from a vendor that only supports commercial databases? SQL Server is lot cheaper than Oracle, and if you need one I would rather run it on Linux than windows. You might also have some Sybase databases that you can't get rid of in which case SQL Server license is likely to be again lot cheaper than new ASE license.
If "something else" is supported, then hell yeah it probably is better option.
And FF XIV also has "jobs" where your "class" is based on the weapon you wield. So you can do everything with one character if you really want.
It is also possibly the most bug free MMO I have ever played (I am referring to the relaunched version after they pulled the oirignal and rewrote it)
[Interestingly, the support for the Signal Technology Foundation is apparently in the form of an interest-free loan (see page 31 of non-textual PDF), rather than a donation (thanks to Signal Technology Foundation article on Wikipedia for the link).]
I wonder if being a creditor, help shield the foundation from potentially hostile actions.
I like SCSI. Mostly. As long as you don't accidentally mix LVD and HVD. Use of proper active terminators is a must. Internal termination (if offered) on most devices might work if if you only have couple of targets, but I'd avoid it and use decent terminator instead.
It can also get messy when it comes to the time to perform the obligatory sacrifices.
Service Manuals are available. other sources for the manual exist too.
LaserJet 4M is almost infinitely repairable.
