I suspect he's talking about having multiple Kubernetes clusters available on the CLI, e.g. one local minikube cluster (virtualized through e.g. a headless Virtualbox or KVM), plus multiple cloud clusters (e.g. one for integration-testing, and one for production) via Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS.

Just an FYI, the A in AWS stands for Amazon.

Comment Re:slot machines make it hard to open with out set (Score 1) 101

slot machines make it hard to open with out setting off an alert so why do AMT have less of that stuff?

The story I read earlier said that they're somehow able to replace the hard drive on some NCR ATMs without opening the device. However, the system doesn't just boot back up with the new HDD after that. They actually use an industrial endoscope to find a button inside of the device that lets it reset without opening it up. So it sounds like the device will alarm if you open it, but is poorly designed and you can replace key components and reset it without having to actually open it.

porously designed

Comment Re:It isn't the BT 5 that Counts, it's the AAC (Score 2) 380

The reason why Apple (and Beats, and some other Mfgs) BT earbuds/headphones are superior is not dependent on Bluetooth 5.0; it is because they support a far-superior CODEC, namely AAC, than typical shitbox BT 'phones/'buds.

Mind you, stuff like Apple's W1/W2 chips helps; but the main improvement is due to AAC.

And no, the proprietary aptX is NOT an equivalent. And did I mention "proprietary" (owned by Qualcomm)?

By contrast, AAC is an industry-standard (not Apple-proprietary, as many believe).

Look into it.

By the time the music starts its path across Bluetooth (or a headphone jack) it's already decoded.

Comment Re:Dear AT&T.... (Score 1) 68

I would LOVE uverse... But your refuse to build out the fiber to cover the city. Instead you stopped 5 years ago just outside of town and have done nothing at all since.

If you want more Uverse subscribers, freaking build it out so that people can actually have it as a choice.

U-Verse is not necessarily fiber. I had it a couple of years ago and it was ADSL based. Got rid of it because AT&T thinks that they can do HD with 3.14 Mbps. It was horrible.

They claim to have more HD channels than their competitors. In reality, the didn't have ANY HD channels.

Instead of panicking, maybe you should actually see if this is really a problem. Here is what Linus says:

- The attacker kind of collision because somebody broke (or brute-forced) SHA1.

This one is clearly a _lot_ more likely than the inadvertent kind, but by definition it's always a "remote" repository. If the attacker had access to the local repository, he'd have much easier ways to screw you up.

So in this case, the collision is entirely a non-issue: you'll get a "bad" repository that is different from what the attacker intended, but since you'll never actually use his colliding object, it's _literally_ no different from the attacker just not having found a collision at all, but just using the object you already had (ie it's 100% equivalent to the "trivial" collision of the identical file generating the same SHA1).

Comment Re:No microSD slot, no replaceable battery? NO SAL (Score 1) 77

I have enjoyed previous Galaxy Notes, but my current will probably be my last. The upgradeable storage and removable battery were (for me and many others) key points of difference over the iPhone, but Samsung have decided that they don't want to be different.

I don't want Cloud storage. Why would I waste my phone plan's data allowance when I should just have expandable local storage? Oh, I should pay for model with the largest capacity? No, not for the price per GB that they're selling.

Sure, I may be able to charge in 90 minutes (with Samsung's charger only, of course), but what happens when my battery gets end of life? Planned obsolescence sucks.

I also liked that the previous flip covers and smart covers, that clipped on instead of the battery cover, more or less became part of the phone. That was much more useful to me than a back plate of glass that will just be a crack magnet.

Yes, this release was the standard fare of a processor/RAM bump and screen resolution bump, but for me this release is far more notable for the features that have been removed....

The screen resolution is identical to the Note 4
