An early experiment suggests that an injection of klotho improves working memory.

I have a bit of data that has to be encrypted and stored into a file so that it can be moved across file systems and possibly OSes. Disk encryption like dm-crypt and a loop device isn't appropriate as it may not exist on another OS.

It's been a very long time since I needed this sort of software. More than a decade ago I used TrueCrypt. I know that VeraCrypt is the current re-incarnationn of the project. Is that still the go-to software for this sort of application? Is there something else that's popular these days?

TekSavvy is the last remaining large internet wholesale provider, as others have been snapped up by bigger rivals in what independent ISPs describe as a challenging regulatory environment.

Roughly half a dozen independent ISPs have been sold since February of 2022. According to BMO Capital Markets analyst Tim Casey, BCE Inc. paid roughly $139-million for Ebox, an internet, telephone and television service provider based in Longueuil, Que., and approximately $335-million for Ottawa-based Distributel last year.

Telus, meanwhile, acquired Altima Telecom and Start.ca for undisclosed amounts, while Quebecor Inc. snapped up VMedia, an independent internet and television provider serving customers primarily in Toronto, in July of 2022. The price of the VMedia acquisition was also not disclosed.

Montreal-based Cogeco Inc., meanwhile, paid $100-million for Oxio, a Montreal-based provider with 48,000 internet subscribers, Mr. Casey wrote in a research note..

🤦🤦‍♀️🤦🏼‍♂️

Sent an email to my MP. This is a competition issue similar to the Shaw sale to Rogers and the feds should get involved. You should do the same.

So far I'm liking this Quebecor acquisition. 🥲

This occurred today when trying to cast from YouTube to my Chromecast w/ Google TV (CCwGTV). The CCwGTV doesn't have any updates available and neither do the YouTube apps on the phone or the CCwGTV.

Has anyone seen it? Any solution?

Solution

Using an open drain buffer like the 74LVC1G07 did the trick. Note that this part only works for inputs with a pull-up resistor. There are other parts from the same lineup that can work with any input.

Problem

I have an ebike computer that has two inputs that accept square wave signals. The range is 0-5V. One of the inputs has no pull-up/down resistors on it. When I hook up a device producing signal, the signal is detected correctly. Both highs and lows are detected correctly. The other input has a built-in pull-up resistor. When I hook the same signal to it, only the high side is detected. Measuring the voltage of the low side, it's a bit higher than when hooked to the other input and I'm guessing it isn't crossing the low threshold the computer expects in order to register the low.

Am I right in thinking that the pull-up resistor is increasing the lows?

Is it possible to counteract the internal pull-up resistor by hooking a pull-down resistor to the input?

I'm a software guy with decent soldering skills and minimal knowledge in electronics so please answer like I'm not the brightest electronic bulb on the tree.

Thank you in advance!

Knowledge silos and expertise are two sides of the same coin. From full stack engineering to DevOps practitioner, our industry loves to pretend everyone can do everything. We’re an industry of hobbyists. We love to tinker. I don’t know if we are fooling ourselves or if the industry has been exploiting our hobby-driven nature, but it’s time for DevOps to get thrown out of an airlock.
