You season 2, just like its first season, is a binge-worthy roller-coaster ride. Joe once again is the star, which is how it should be since he is a very well written character. The show does a great job in how his narrative blatantly twists awful actions into acts of love in his mind. He is a monster, but a monster that has convinced himself that he is a prince....

A DDoS attack works by using multiple exploited machines as a source to attack network traffic. Each of these compromised computers is known as a bot or zombie that collectively establish a Botnet — a malicious network controlled by bot herders or botmasters. The DDoS attack prevents regular traffic from arriving at its desired destination by flooding it with unwanted traffic, like a traffic jam clogging up the highway. Incident response (IR) teams working in a Security Operation Centers (SOCs) perform network traffic analysis to analyze, detect and eliminate DDoS attacks....

Staff are also said to aim to keep him too busy to spend much time watching cable TV and tweeting… Stock apps can be hidden with a configuration profile.

Some recently released posters served to highlight the extent of the team’s devastating loss.

Your Nest smart thermostat should get a little smarter at some point over the next week as the company rolls out version 4.3 of the software, providing improved auto-scheduling and faster access to info at-a-glance.

This weekend, Netflix is – surprisingly – not adding much content for Valentine’s Day, though it is bringing a highly anticipated rom-com sequel, along with an animated movie and the second season of a crime series. Netflix tends to add content to its catalogue according to the biggest holidays and celebrations that approach: for example, it dropped a lot of Christmas content since November. Weirdly enough, that’s not the case for Valentine’s Day, with only one original romance movie arriving this week....

Network addressing works at a couple of different layers of the OSI model. At Layer 2, computers have a hardware or MAC address. At Layer 3, they have an IP address. Most high-level addressing uses IP addresses; however, network hardware needs the MAC address to send a packet to the appropriate machine within a subnet. ARP is designed to bridge the gap between the two address layers. It is a simple call-and-response protocol....

We’re learning more about the iPad Pro after the 2020 refresh debuted today, like its new Magic Keyboard with trackpad being backward compatible. Another neat tidbit is that the 2020 iPad Pro includes Wi-Fi 6 support. Wi-Fi 6 routers are becoming more common and coming down in price a bit. But up until now, the only Apple devices with Wi-Fi 6 chips that could take advantage of the latest routers were the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro....

The leaked image also suggests the OnePlus 6T won’t have any design alterations and will feature the same all-glass exterior found on the OnePlus 6. In addition, the Mirror Black color option will be retained as well, although we don’t know about any other gradients yet.

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM3BPixFVq0] Drones are a lot of fun, but making them to exactly what you want them to isn’t always easy, and a fair number of them are damaged or destroyed in crashes. Skydio, a startup formed by ex-MIT and Google X engineers, is hoping to change that by turning your iPhone into a ‘magic wand’ controller, reports TechCrunch. Today’s drones use cameras to allow you to shoot photos and video, and feed the video back to your phone or controller....

You can say that the Nest Learning Thermostat is the parent and the Nest Thermostat is the child.
