"This guy fucks."

What "security industry"? In how many companies nowadays is sitting and thinking things through an encouraged approach? It goes against the current economical values. The problem are not IoT vendors, the problem is money-driven economics.

How great. Can't wait for "Music for tech-savvy young adults with interest in retro games" or "Music for Asian women aged 35-45".

Before these industry-disrupting services emerge though, I guess I'll just stick to music that I like.

Critical comments are fantastic when they add insight to the conversation, but all you seem to be adding is cynicism.

I appreciate that someone else made this comment. I've always just listened to music I want to listen to. Any attempt to use "focus" music or whatever is just annoying. I know people don't like the cynicism but honestly this stuff is pseudo-science at best.

These tracks work like a charm for me. Im the type to be easily distracted by actual music, so the kind of ambient soundscapes this provides are much closer to a pleasant white noise or rainfall. It's also trained my brain in a way to flip into programming mode

Does anyone know what the maximum possible (combined-)output resolution of the Radeon Pro 460 is? I'm having a hard time finding this info on AMD's website.

Why replace the wifi card if you don't mind me asking?

Apparently the wifi card comes with the laptop does not yet work with macOS.

Both are 802.11ac capable however. I think the DW1560 is a bit slower.

Probably Mac OS X doesn't support the original WiFi card.

"Why Tokyo Is the World’s Best Food City"? Because the author uses the word "fucking" at least once per paragraph. That is why. So off I go to Tokyo, visibly impressed.

Could it be that nepotism exists in the (free) free market world? Shocking.

I'd just gone through the process of moving some ~40 accounts on various websites from having a Yahoo email address to a Gmail one. By far the most unpleasant experience was with PayPal.

First I changed my email address. I received a confirmation and re-activated my account. Nice so far. Then I thought I'd generate a new, longer password. I pasted the 24-character password into the settings form. It was saved successfully.

After trying to login again though, it just wouldn't accept my login! So I went through the password recovery process. I received a link and then was asked to answer security questions. The security questions were ancient, so I facepalmed at first, but I was pretty sure I got the answers right after some thinking. It took me 10 tries to get the proper variation of the answers (it doesn't tell you which one is wrong).

Then I was presented with the new password form. I tried to paste the new 24-character password again. This form didn't allow you to paste the password in, you had to type it in manually for "added security". Then I realized the password was limited to 20 characters, and the previous form (in account settings) was just happily letting me paste a 24-character password while trimming the end silently!.

And this is 2016 on the web...

Don't get me started on their support for two-factor. Really, I have to sign up via obscure forms (at least at the time) for a Symantec VIP app that's incompatible with other such apps? And occasionally I'm asked to retype my password with the VIP digits appended to the end? https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Access-and-security/PayP...
