I believe invasive SW like CrowdStrike should rarely need to be installed. It can make sense to install it in an employer-provided laptop because lots of people like to click on whatever link they receive and install whatever app they see. The employee is in full control of the laptop […]
HELP! My Linux computer was working fine and today after I rebooted, it would not longer boot to a GUI, or it boots to a black screen, or it boots into the terminal, or I have no display acceleration and the best resolution I can do is 1024×768 This guide […]
So, it’s been 2 months since the release of DirectStorage Github repos and no new major updates. I deferred this post for a little while waiting for more updates, but I guess I’ll just have to post it with what has been made available so far. Myths? At least so […]
I finally found an explanation that worked on my (non-tech-savvy) friends using an analogy. How Bitcoin works, consensus, and why ‘mining’ rewards money. Why on Earth having a computer running all day earns money? My friends struggled with this concept. This explanation was very well received. So I thought I’d […]
So I saw these tweets earlier today: Horizon Zero Dawn has been fun.Tells me I have an old driver. Still runs. Takes 30 minutes to compile shaders. I watch the intro cut scene. I think. Better to update the drivers. I quit. Update drivers. Start the game again.And now we’re […]

Note: This is a rant. Ok, I’m pissed off. Google gets this wrong. Now my banks got this wrong too. IT NEEDS TO STOP. In case you didn’t know, 2FA stands for “Two Factor Authentication”. It’s an additional security measure for protecting your online accounts. A password is a […]
This is a rant. C++17 is at our doorstep and we’re no closer to iterable enums. And what annoys me is that I coded a solution in a single day as proof of concept that should be implemented at compiler level, yet I refuse to believe I’m 100 times smarter than […]
La página de AFIP siempre está llena de actualizaciones, muchas de ellas innecesarias. Y sucede que en la última actualización algunos se habrán encontrado con la sorpresa que es imposible eliminar un adherente de Obra Social del Monotributo. El caso en cuestión se trataba de un allegado cuyo familiar adherente había […]
So every now and then I hear: – We’re falling short on git. It wasn’t designed for big projects. [often in the context of game development] – Is your project as big as the Linux Kernel? No? I thought so. I find this extremely misleading. Not because the Linux Kernel isn’t […]
