It sounds like you're chiding others for complaining about the bill, and excusing this because the bill "only" enables mass surveillance and anti-privacy measures, rather than stipulating them. Might be I'm reading you

I really like the idea of foldable phones - smaller in my pocket or when I'm just checking a notification or whatever, but I can double the size of the display when wanted. Being able to balance on a surface for taking group shots is a

Didn't David Nutt suggest this several years back? I seem to recall hearing he was really trying to make a go of it too.

Only if it's 100% pure heroin. If it's typical street-level purity, it's more like 300 doses. Either way, these seem categorically like personal use quantities to me.

For 30g of heroin? On what planet is 30g considered "trafficking"?

Wow, that really does make it sound like a potentially world-rocking discovery! (if it turns out to actually work in reality, of course).

I see lots of comments saying this is a huge deal if true. Can I ask... well, why? What can we do/make with this?

Attestation can have value in a corporate network, ensuring only patched company laptops can connect to certain services, for example. But software already exists to do this kind of thing for private networks. I really, strongly believe t

I just wanted to second the GP's point on pricing - like them, "call me pricing" is a hard no from me. IMO it's fine for the highest tier (Enterprise or whatever), but lower tiers should have fixed and public pricing.

As a counterpoint: I've worked with both Azure cloud and Azure DevOps (or whatever the feck they call it now) for a long time (maybe 10 years?), a lot in a corporate setting, but also for my startup. Apart from the same price issues th

What would you think is the minimum age to do these kind of basic IoT tasks would be? Looking forward to doing this stuff with my son at some point, but he's only 6 :)

I used Azure TTS for a product demo voice-over recently, and nobody I showed it to knew it wasn't a human doing it! Some of Azure's voices are better than others, and the TTS web app has a few minor bugs, but overall I was really

Do you have CFS? Personally, I find that coffee doesn't do very much to help.

The point would be standardisation - you set preferences once in your browser, rather than on several sites in several different ways. FWIW, I too do not want to be tracked, and so I use an ad blocker etc. I'm thinking more along the l

Was this a long time ago, or for a totally empty niche? I ask, because I'm lucky if I can buy a single click through for $5, and it's been like that for several years now.

I actually think something like the Topics API could work - but with some pretty big changes. Firstly, it's a "hell no" from me on my browser recording what I'm doing and insinuating my interests. At the very least, I&#x

Totally with you on hiding file extensions - why they made that the default is beyond me.

Given the comment I was replying to, I thought it would be obvious that my comment was in the context of food. At least IME, some kids will only eat beige food (fries/chips, battered/breaded meat/fish etc).

I had the same feelings - I'm sure I would have bought one (at least) if they didn't have such a premium price attached.

Plus, everything would be beige.

I'd guess it was true. I've worked with engineering companies across Europe, and their documentation is always amazing, with full traceability of every component going back to the 80's. Everything from processes to weld inspe

I remember staying up late as a kid, so I could listen to Blue Jam! Such amazing sounds! I seem to recall it was annoyingly late tho, like 2am or such.

China does too, and IIRC Japan and South Korea.

I kind of feel the same - they have a huge opportunity, right now , and they need to take advantage of it, right now . I tried to sign up for a couple of months, without any luck, and then gave up - there's only so much time I want t

But wouldn't this be more appropriately termed IaaS (infrastructure as a service) than serverless?

Do you honestly believe Labour won't be pushing the same agenda once they're back in? Sure, their last term was a while ago now, but still, Starmer is exactly the kind of person that pushed the anti-privacy, pro-surveillance agend

VMware's PhotonOS is designed for use as a stripped-down container host. It's pretty good, and they're open to community contributions too.
