I've only been given 1 free meal (by the manager). I just gave the entire difference as my tip. I was already going to spend the money, so why not make a random waiter happy.
For devices where connectivity is more important, switch them from 2.4Ghz to 5Ghz to avoid microwave interference.

I'm just guessing, but I would say Intel CNVi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNVi
No thank you, I can protect myself.
There's surely some ways you're unprepared to protect yourself. Since you're unaware, you wouldn't be able to thank them. Ignorance is bliss.
With enough of a "vibration pattern", it becomes a fingerprint.
I paid $1000 cash for my Samsung Galaxy S10+ and the 5½+ years with it have been flawless.
I was very hesitant to spend $1000 on my first smartphone but if it can easily last 5 years, I'm impressed.
Even now, I can't think of a reason to upgrade aside from wanting a new, shiny gadget.
Have you played with "ionice"? Did it help?
You seem angry while the person you're replying to seems calm.
What's wrong with an Adolf Hitler AI? I wouldn't consider it weird to want to interact with said AI.
Mein Kampf exists. Should it be banned?
The telephone companies seem to actively push for you to get rid of your land line. My monthly bill recently dropped $75 ($50 for local-only phone service + fees like 911), when I canceled my land line.
My 100mbit VDSL2 bonded internet line is $75, so it was a very noticeable monthly decrease. My ISP/Telco is Windstream in the eastern USA.
Which specific pages are you referring to?
As someone who has carried a pocket knife for most of my life, I very rarely think of the knife as a weapon. When I was younger, me and my friends would throw knives at trees. Sometimes we would throw hatchets at trees. It's fun and very satisfying to finally stick the knife/hatchet.
Violence was never in my thoughts.
You don't need to lure anything.
Right. For example, in 2016, Shodan had sneakily infiltrated the NTP.org pool to harvest IPv6 IPs. The methods have obviously gotten more sophisticated and more prevalent since then.

The scenerio I commonly see is a dual-stack (IPv4 & IPv6) router blocking all unsolicited incoming IPv4 packets (because of NAT), while all IPv6 LAN hosts will unintentionally be globally accessible through the internet.
This is why I worry about more IPv6 deployment. Too many people are ignorantly relying on IPv4 NAT as a layer of protection.
And by the way, nobody, noone forbade you from having explicit firewall rules denying anything from anywhere, not explicitly allowed. Just like it is done in a proper IPv4 configuration.
Sure, in a perfect world, migrating to IPv6 should be safe, but the default configuration on many ISP-supplied routers has no firewalling beyond what NAT offers.
I worry about the loss of the implicit firewall that NAT offers.
Network security audits of dual-stack networks far too often show practically no open ports on IPv4, because of NAT, while IPv6 exposes everything. The security through obscurity of the practically unscannable IPv6 address space is not a firewall.

Try to adhere to the Hacker News Guidelines. I apologize for being annoying but we all benefit from trying to make better posts.

"Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting."
Why is the article focusing on Mullvad in particular? All the complaints seem to be problems that any/all VPN providers suffer from.
Take a close look at how that question isn't answered.
I think that's the joke. I prefer this non-answer over a long-winded bullshit answer that ultimately means nothing.
what would be accomplished by geoblocking a states's tourism site?
Avoiding GDPR compliance problems?
In case you're unaware, "goatse" doesn't have anything to do with goats or animals or anything good.
Don't Google it.
I think they mean lots of people are copying the mentioned author.
Because of colons. Colons separate the different sections of an ipv6 address but HTTP URLs also use colons for the port, so the ipv6 IP must be encompassed in brackets to differentiate between IP and port.
I think @dhzhzjsbevs meant that 8TB and higher is CMR. A quick google search seems to support that.
I was much more confused by your post than I should've been because I overlooked that ">" is how HackerNews prefixes quoted text.
You've got a dangerous level of confidence.
All I can find in my bookmarks right now. Good stuff though.
I vastly prefer blogs and githubs that aren't mainstream. Like BIOS/UEFI security blogs or the very useful kefctl github with 40 stars (CLI control of my Kef LS50W).
I left Facebook over a decade ago because doing things "to be talked about" felt awful. Focusing on sharing information to help others, rather than to stroke my ego, is much more rewarding.
