Scammers tend to create ecosystems of fake accounts in large cities or communities, such as the expat community in Paris. These are easy to fabricate and maintain, and consist of a social network of individuals who are either loosely connec

Doctolib is a B2B model. Patients are not the customers; medical practices are the customers. Doctolib saves on the cost of a medical secretary, which is why it is so popular. What's more, this is a sensitive and regulated field, where

The United States is not the only country in the world. In France, it is almost impossible to make an appointment without using Doctolib, which is SaaS software for booking consultations (and lots of other things).

More and more of this software is moving to the cloud and only requires a web browser. A distribution that is very difficult to break and can launch a web browser would already meet many use cases for receptionists, hotels, consultation sta

I have worked on a reverse osmosis unit (to produce demineralised water for industry) and I maintain that this is not the right solution. Great Britain is not an oil rig or a desert devoid of fresh water. It does not have cheap energy such

Desalinating water requires a lot of energy and equipment. Seawater must be tapped, filtered and passed through membranes in a process called reverse osmosis. All of this requires lot of electrical power, large pumps, cleaning, corrosion-re

As a reminder, the British water treatment system was privatised in the 1960s and has been a huge joke ever since. When they were still in the European Union, common environmental and health regulations prevented the worst from happening. B

It took more than 10 years for Vorbis support to become widespread. It will take a few more years before we can hope to play Opus easily everywhere. We are at a stage where current solutions are just good enough in most case. Change is ther

The idea is rather that someone with a large FLAC library, who has already transcoded some of it to MP3 for listening on a portable player, has little interest in transcoding their FLAC files to Vorbis again. The battery life of an MP3 play

One of the major contributors to Soundblaster's decline was DirectX. Before DirectX, games and multimedia applications were designed to support a handful of cards, such as Soundblaster, Borland, Turtle Beach, and Ultrasound. There were

IRQ 7, DMA 1, Port 220H ! Now I have a vague idea of what IRQs and DMA are, but I still have no idea what port 220h was. Don't forget that the Sound Blaster card had a MIDI port to which you could connect a controller or joystick. That

I use an audio player that is almost ten years old with Rockbox, and there is no noticeable difference in performance between decoding an MP3 and an Ogg Vorbis file. Vorbis is very good, but managing the audio library, transcoding and trans

The French far right only cares about anti-Semitism, women's rights and even LGBT+ rights when it allows them to bash immigrants and Muslims. In a bizarre twist, activists from the far-right National Rally party set up a fake LGBT+ ass
