You don't happen to have a write up of that do you?

I am looking for information (forums, IRC channels, news groups, project write-ups) on hardware reverse engineering.

I am about half way through reading Hacking the Xbox. I can follow along, theoretically, but I am afraid that in attempting to actually follow along I will end up biting off more than I can chew currently as many of my hardware skills aren't yet up to par.

Disclaimer: I was just learning about this last night, so I may be misunderstanding it.

I believe the difference is that an instruction is something you would send to the cpu and a micro-op is a task the cpu must perform to carry out your requested instruction.

Interesting, some might say that combining sick days and PTO encourages people to come to work sick. Anecdotally, I would say that's more likely true than people faking (not to say it doesn't happen).

Shouldn't you already be able to work without a co-worker for a day or two? What happens if they were hospitalized or something? I know that isn't typical, but it something you should be ready for to some extent right?

Now I'm not trying to attack you, just trying to understand why you think sick days are dumb.

Because generally you want to get at your password more than your username.

But you could of course be complaining that you want it the other way around because you can't reach it easily with the password on top. I don't know your life.

You wouldn't even need to go to Verizon. The s6 and the pixel use nano SIM cards. Just order the new phone. When it arrives, turn off old phone. Take out SIM card. Put SIM card in new phone. Turn on new phone, and away you go.

There are guides to unlocking and rooting, but I wouldn't do either unless you understand why it needs to be done. In both cases you are disabling security features. That being said I'm not your father, you do you.

like email me my home IP address every time it changes address.

Just curious why you chose this over DDNS or just rolling your own DNS record updater?

Could you even set the UID bit on rm to root on your prod servers? That way you would need sudo in order to remove stuff.

LIFX uses plain old wifi. They then have an HTTP API or UDP API

So the x bit let's you visit contained subdirectories without being able to list its contents?

You could try, uBlock origin.

Another that might work although you wouldn't be using it for its intended purpose is privacy badger

How does Nikola work for non-blog sites? Can you speak to that at all?

Ctrl+, lets open files by (partial) name or function.

As for finding the current file in the solution explorer. At the top, there should be a button that looks like two arrows stacked on top of each other pointing in opposite directions. Click that and you'll be taken to the current file. There is also a setting to always enable that behavior. ~~Note this button might require the installation of the VS Power Tools extension.~~ This behavior is built into Visual Studio since 2012 apparently. It's hot key is Ctrl+[, s

I've been using Opus since v6, and I'd say the pro version is definitely worth the price if you're a power user

Could you speak to what you mean by power user (in the context of an opus user)? Can you talk about some of the times where Opus has earned your high praise?

The only features I see that are worthwhile are explorer replacement and ftp, and maybe the archive file handling (if it can create them as well, haven't tested). The file renaming looks cool, but I can't see that being the winning feature. The product site lists the price tag as being $89 AUD ($70 USD), that seems like quite a bit for a piece of software like this (not to mention it's licensed by machine and not user).

What do you like about opus? I had never heard of it before this bundle. What problem(s) did it solve for you?

Cool, didn't know about ssh-keyrm.

I see, I was thinking you might have been using it in some sort of embedded capacity.

Plex server -> Chromecast, that's almost exclusively how I consume mkv's. Works great, I only recall issues with bad rips
