How exactly is any of what you mentioned going to help me when I'm being sent an OOXML file (because I work in a business where sharing documents among companies is common)? It won't or it will be partially broken. Yes, I have tri

>What about them? What's your question? :) Well, do they intend to do something like Huawei, i.e. bug the devices? My trust for some countries (US included) has been suffering a bit as of late. Otherwise thanks for the answers. (for

I'm sorry, but I've just noticed that "If you don't like [Microsoft product], don't use it" is an awfully frequent argument of pro-MS people. An awfully weak argument, too. (Edit: because, you know, sometimes t

Ah, the great question of modern times: Should I more hate Microsoft or Google? Personally I'll go with Microsoft, because contrary to what the blog says, I feel that Google is far more open, though that still won't make me buy an

I lost track of Sailfish several months ago... are they any better than Android when it comes to privacy and security? Is it feature-rich (some call that "bloated")? What about those Chinese investors?

Every time something new comes out from Google or Microsoft, I just wait to see where is the catch. There is always the catch .

I use either DDG or https://startpage.com/ . I still have to go to Google about once or twice month though...

The pistols I've seen were airsoft pistols and the rifles seemed like BB guns or also airsoft guns. Can't verify, of course.

And again this is extremely one-sided. Propagandistic even. And it makes it to the top of HN. Again. "THE POLICE IS READY TO SHOOT". But she won't say that it's with rubber slugs or that the protesters are throwing molo

Touch screen in cars? I'd prefer to keep my eyes on the road, thank you. The screens have a bit more things to control than I can remember. I guess my muscles have terrible memory. I can't imagine how so many features can be con

I tried a straight upwards cursor once. It felt terrible. The tilt gives the cursor "extended hand" feel.

I don't know, I've used Ghostery and ABP for a while and despite claims of lack of trust, I've had no issues with them. They both allow blocking everything, the options aren't exactly hidden in a locked closet guarded by

See prices of most marketed smartphones' variations that differ only in memory size.

I learned it when I tried to get rid of that annoying lockscreen you get in 8 before entering password. The one you're supposed to swipe up. It can (or could) be removed only through group policies. Thanks for confirming it's sti

I'm (somewhat) sure that this works only in 8 Pro.

Mouse gestures in Chropera work only partially. In fact, all I managed to get working is back, new tab and close tab. And yeah, "caching" (or whatever they call it) visited sites (even closed tabs) is a very handy thing.

I'm sorry, what? I'd say it's the opposite, Opera is not nice anymore. Mouse gestures, mail and IRC client, huge options, its own engine, Dragonfly, tab stacking, Linux client... things why I still use Opera 12. That blog

But I would lose my status of a social outcast if I used service as popular as Reddit :)

Not having a Reddit account, this makes me want to create one and ask Gates if he's going to protect us from the power of the cloud . By "us" I mean "people who don't really trust the cloud".

That's funny, I switched from WP8 to Symbian a few weeks ago. An OS that doesn't have an accessible file system isn't very useful to me. Might as well use an S40 phone.

Killing XBox brand and not killing Windows Phone? I don't understand. WP8 is getting numbers hugely thanks to very cheap Lumia 520, which, to my understanding, is barely generating any profit or is even generating loss. And even then I

Privacy policy / TOS is something you can base legal cases on in some countries and something certain organizations try to check. And I just have difficulties to trust companies that simply don't say anything on the matter. It doe

I can't seem to find their privacy policy and ToS document is in French. I think I'll pass. In fact, the only mention of privacy I found is "respect for privacy" in data security.

I'm torn on the subject of car tracking. Firstly it's not like it doesn't happen already, it's just that the authorities don't have access to the data. Secondly, drivers in a lot of countries are simply morons (read
