    B Relativity & Gravity: Resolving the Discrepancy

    I find relativity to be a tricky one to understand even for other non relativity physics tutors. I have seen various youtube physics channel's which are generally reputable reporting on the twins paradox and claiming the "time difference" all occurs during the deceleration / acceleration phase...

    B Can Matter Enter a Black Hole Intact? Debate & Advice

    Thank you for the responses. He seemed to be obsessing over the escape velocity at the event horizon being the speed of light to which I was responding that just because the escape velocity is the speed of light that does not mean you need to travel at the speed of light to fall into a black...

    B Can Matter Enter a Black Hole Intact? Debate & Advice

    I am having a debate with someone who appears knowledgeable about black holes from the language he is using but we have a disagreement about if matter can enter a black hole. He is trying to tell me the gravitational gradient near the event horizon is such that spaghetification occurs as you...

    The best and most secure password manager

    That come's down to how security conscious you are and how much you can trust online sources. I had a similar debate about password manager previously on this forum and introduced the concept of zero knowledge policies and was assured that LastPass employed this policy and that a local solution...

    The best and most secure password manager

    As an IT pro I use KeyPass, it's a downloadable program which creates a password vault as a local file which is encrypted with a master password. It's an offline program, no synchronising with the web, all your data stays local to that file which you can backup and copy to another computer just...

    Collection of Science Jokes P2

    They say quantum tunneling only works on atomic particles, I would like to dispute this claim as I have personally experienced macro scale quantum tunneling many times this past year. I have even created a "device" which seems to be able to produce this effect at will, usually at the most...

    How to Read this Output from 'Net Share' (Win Command Line)

    Share names do not need to have a $ sign on them. The $ at the end of the share indicates a hidden share so if you browse the machine remotely you will not see it come up but can still access it if you know it exists. You can create shares using the $ at the end if you want them to be hidden also.

    Find Free Software to Log Disk Usage & Monitor Processes

    Windows performs scans in the background for malware daily. If your laptop is an older model it could be that the disk is just too slow to keep up with the modern operating system, I see this fairly frequently with older laptops. The problem is worse for "occasional" users as these processes...

    New cross-platform password-less authentication system in the works

    I will do, need more lower level info about how it works :)

    New cross-platform password-less authentication system in the works

    From the linked white paper... "Just like password managers do with passwords, the underlying OS platform will “sync” the cryptographic keys that belong to a FIDO credential from device to device. This means that the security and availability of a user’s synced credential depends on the...

    New cross-platform password-less authentication system in the works

    So...just need to compromise 1 device, steal the private key, BANG access to all your other devices and online accounts. The security services will be rubbing their hands at this one, they probably had a hand in designing it. Simplification usually comes at the expense of security, not seeing...

    How do streaming services stream? (troubleshooting)

    A trick I sometime is to simply pause the program for a few minutes. As your watching the next bit is downloading ready to be shown, sometimes if you just pause it and wait a few minutes the next part will download already and it will be smooth after that. This works for me when using youtube on...

    Dashcam is leaving file artifacts on SD card

    Would suggest you try a different SD Card, if the issue persists then you know it's something to do with the dash cam itself. Perhaps the actual CCD sensor which collects the light is playing up intermitently. Sometimes the only option is to swap components to troubleshoot each one.

    Dashcam is leaving file artifacts on SD card

    SD Cards have a limited number of write cycles before they start to fail. SD cards are not great when you need to write a lot of data all the time which cause them to fail prematurely. Could it simply be that you have had a lot of usage out of them already? I see this in the IT industry fairly...
