Well the method by which this Chromecast extension works is using the API for communicating with a desktop application. It should be possible to do a similar thing for airplay. Someone needs to find a library that can act as a Airplay Clien

I often see latency being touted as the game changer for 5G. With compute being pushed out closer to customers "Mobile Edge Compute" Could anyone enlighten me to what the use cases are? Because it's still dubious.

GP appointments are 10 to 15 minutes long. Are missed appointments such a issue for GPs? If someone doesn't show they move onto the next person. Usually GPs have an issue in that appointments take longer than planned, so there's o

Because when you start charging, the price will only go up. University used to be free in the UK. Then tuition fees at University started at £1000ish a year, went up to about £3000, and is now £9000. All in about 10 years. Also small fees l

The NHS is fine to criticise. But if someone says the solution to its issues are to sell the profitable parts to the friends and family of conservative politicians. Then that's not going to make you popular.

Took 9 years for it to get chucked out of the PC space. The annoying thing is that with the rise of the open web, fingerprinting has become significantly easier. Private browsing or a VPN doesn't make you anonymous because your web bro

The user experience is more important than a app developer's need. Users want better battery life. They don't want a app using it up. Feel free to block the installation of your app on devices that you feel unfairly target backgro

Unfortunately it's a free product. So whatever they decide you have no choice to go along with it, if you want to continue using that feature. WhatsApp has the same feature, if you want to give your data to Facebook instead. I presume

Imagine you're trying to find someone in a city you're both unfamiliar with. You can see where both of you are and walk towards each other. Or let's say you're fearful of your safety. You can send your live location to

I remember listening to a podcast (can't remember the name) but the adverts were tailored to my location. I think the MP3 gets generated based on location.

Needlessly complicated? Download the app, sign in and it works. Piracy has significantly reduced because it's more convenient than torrents. Don't know what you're talking about.

Why is this dumb comment on every Mozilla post? It's starting to sound like FUD. Especially when the alternative is a browser engine whose development is dictated by an advertising company.

MATE is not a GNOME project. When GTK3 was made and the decision to build Gnome Shell was made, the MATE project was started to fork GTK2 and the old shell.

There's barely any development on the GitHub. And also it seems like there are few contributers. Whilst KDE is a much bigger project that is actively developed.

You seem to fundamentally misunderstand what the EU does. Each country funds the EU, it creates laws and also has programmes across the member countries. Each country elects Members of the European Parliament. No country in the EU is a dire
