LIV2

One of our politicians has been caught taking money from a wealthy Chinese business man and another is tied to the propaganda arm of the Chinese government so you can guarantee there's a bunch more of our politicians owned by them that we will never hear about

It will be interesting to see how chaotic it will be for orgs that have split horizon DNS or rely on search domains to resolve things.

I wonder how they're going to have to work with things like the Australian/NZ censorship which I believe is based on DNS?

When I started with the 6502 it took a while to get a working, stable system due to a couple of weird circuit issues (like forgetting to qualify R/W by PHI2) which wouldn't have been the case if I was using a Z80

Do you know if there is a forum for Z80 homebrew systems?

The problem is that the 6502 can only address 64K which includes ROM and IO Space so for any acceptable resolution you need tricks like bank switching and/or a seperate memory bus.

Even on the NES the PPU RAM is on a separate bus

Nice!

6502's are fun to play with and relatively easy to put together a system with one.

There's still quite a community of us building new systems with the 6502 on the 6502.org forums if anyone is looking for more info re: programming/hardware, hints and tips etc

Haven't heard of Pulumi before your comment but will be sure to check it out now :)

Terraform is great but if you want to change to a different cloud provider you pretty much have to rewrite everything

"Power toys" predates Powershell and was a thing back when we were all using Windows 95

Looks like currently they're using Maestro and switching to MasterCard Debit which uses the credit card network

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maestro_(debit_card)

I'm assuming that their bank cards and debit cards are two different things

Presumably their "bank cards" only use some local payment scheme rather than visa or MasterCard (explaining why it can't be used online)

The newer "debit card" uses Visa or MasterCard which means it is accepted anywhere Visa/MasterCard is

Interested to hear this too though I doubt we will, they should probaby invest in some HSMs

Most used the 6845 CRTC or compatible but the Apple 1 used discrete logic & shift registers instead of CRTC & RAM from my understanding

I don't think the particular shift registers etc are still available but it is still possible to do it with discrete logic these days

I guess different projects have different focus and some probably don't care too much how they get video as long as it works. I've built discrete and CPLD based video circuits for my own 6502 project which is fun but took months to get working perfectly

From what I'm currently experiencing here (Sweden) three phases also allows for interesting issues like partial power outages that take down only some of your house... Never saw anything like this in Australia where it's probably the US style

Is there a source or is that a guess at what happened? That sounds immensely incompetent to the point that I find it hard to believe

Depends on whether you consider breakfast & fika to be work hours ;)

What is the proof? That the domain owner signed it with a certain key? Is that key shared out-of-band? If so why do we even need the blockchain?

It can also be configured to require a touch for every signing action or even one for multiple signing actions within a 15 second window I think it is

If you’re not using both slots you can move the credential to slot 2 so that it requires a long press before it activates

I’m a bit rusty and could be wrong but doesn’t MSCHAPv2/CHAP require knowledge of the plaintext password on the server side? I think that makes it required to be stored plaintext for any PPP connection and thus most if not all ISPs would be storing plaintext passwords

Everything I hear about them screams immaturity, from deleting their prod db to smack talking competitors.

Aussie with a kiwi wife here. She says they only ever called it a Dairy

At least in semi-rural NSW I've only ever used "corner shop" or these days it's generally a "servo" but never a "milk bar"

Must be a Melbourne or Adelaide thing those guys are weird

Security requires availability which is far from guaranteed when using counterfeit hardware

The government is bad, so is a trillion dollar American company choosing to collaborate with the government by enabling spying on their users just so they can make even more money. They're enabling a government to track down & torture/murder dissidents

While the ref clock is only 100MHz the data rate of PCI Express is much higher, it's a serial bus pushing multiple gigabits a second https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/259002

Indeed the whole point of smartcards are that they're portable HSM's, you can't simply clone a smartcard. You'd even need the pincode if you stole one and would have to use it before it was noticed/revoked.

Presumably there are some organisations that use smart cards for EFS encryption in windows but not sure if BitLocker supports it

The linked article shows how it's due to a design flaw and explains why shitty cheap chargers/cables work but ok

> Why?

Because two resistors in parallel (i.e when RD is shorted to RA) lowers the resistance and pulls the voltage down to a range that identifies the device as an audio device to the charger

Top is as the RPI is effectively configured, Bottom is how it should be.

I had read that they aren't doing IPv6 on NBN connections though?

It seems that there has been a bit more adoption of it since I last checked which must have been a while ago, I'm surprised to see Telstra on the list!

Aussie Broadband seem to be the only ISP that puts any effort in and cares about their customers, I hope they don't get bought and become another part of TPG

It would be nice if the Aussie broadband market would start enabling IPv6 but the pessimist in me thinks they'll just turn on CG-NAT and call it a day.

Since most consumers don't care, and CG-NAT bandaids the problem I don't see how the market will be motivated to spend the time/money to bring us IPv6. We're probably going to be stuck with shitty bandaid solutions for a while
