Dutch and Danish share heritage via Frysian and Saxon (English) heritage. IIRC the Frysian lived among the whole coast of North Sea from Holland till North-West Germany, and then enclaves in Denmark, too.

I see youth do things on their touchscreens in lightning speed :) both IRL and in movies/series. Sure, I am much slower. And for me, the UI is too big / screen too small (regardless of 7" smartphone or 6" or 5" the

The point is that an iPhone is a very powerful computer. With Bluetooth. So you could attach it to your HHKB like I did with my smartphone. Screen small, true. Don't know about iPhone video output but Android recent usually work with U

Steam's Gabe Newell said it best: Piracy is an issue of service, not price. I went from full pirate (we didn't even pay for cable, it 'just worked' -- the beauty of analog) to nearly full streamer. The stuff I kept pirat

Well, an iPhone. How marvelous. I cannot even replace the battery or screen in 5 minutes. I have an Android smartphone which is easy to repair (Fairphone). It is a dealbreaker for me (although I'm glad Apple have been improving lately,

A SLA would. I would just use multiple backups. One self-hosted on-premise and two off-site. Then the two off-site can have egress costs. Wouldn't matter. The self-hosted one would be the primary one to backup from. And it is going to

This is fantastic. Too bad they redacted the names. These scumbags deserve to be known. And the saddest part of the story is you don't know if is true or a cover-up. On the other hand it appears to be MIT. Are Google Chrome extensions

Fukushima reestablished this green movement. Who benefitted from the green movement then and now? Fossil fuel. Putin and his cronies, just to name an example.

I really applaud this practice, except I have needlephobia. Let us imagine a top athlete suffers from this, too (hypothesis, irrelevant if subject is genuine). What would happen? And at which point do amateurs get tested?

I wasn't implying Pebble have e-ink. I had my Fossil HR Collider in mind. A month is impressive, but 600+ EUR for a WearOS device is too much for me (you pay with your privacy on anything Android/Google).

From the review I just read, the Fenix 7 greatly increases the solar capacity compared to the Fenix 6. It looks like a great watch but compared to my Fossil HR Collider: far more expensive, color screen instead of e-ink.

In my experience: first 2 or 3 months you can send it back np. After 2 years they say your warranty is forfeit. Which isn't true if you can reasonably expect the product to last longer (if it is an expensive one). In my case the batter

It is also the distortion field. You never heard people say the Nokia N95 (even though it was a very successful device) or the BlackBerry or the Macbook. So regardless, there is no 'the iPhone'. There was an original iPhone which
