Practically, the people indiscriminately scraping don't bother to do the work to bypass it or implement the POW test, which results in reduced CPU load for all the properties that were having trouble with scrapers before. Until scraper

Officially, neither is the US, since Trump doesn't have that power.

At least some of them, it depends on who you ask (Simferopol). But I had been using Ukraine as a shorthand for the conflict, so editing it to be clearer

Between this and the Wildberries depot strikes in the Ukraine war, I think it really highlights how much peace was required to make the centralisation we've experienced work.

Isn't the standard term for what you're referring to a "keyfile"? Google Trends also indicates nobody was caring about "passkey" before 2022.

In practice, because site owners know users are going to mess up having their passkeys on all devices, I've not seen any insist that a passkey _must_ be used, and you can always log in with your password (or worst case, email magic lin

I think BW has the collapse of the infrastructure that used to support it as a ongoing televised event to blame for that one. It’s less popular among gen z so there isn’t the up and coming replacement and no one is paying them to do it as a

Mine is a Bosch (but I guess a few generations newer?). Definitely requires an app for scheduling.

My washing machine advertises its remote start feature to try get people to use the app and it’s like… I need to physically load laundry into the machine so I’m already going to be standing there when I want to start it.

That is true, but while he is popular in his home turf, 10% is a low threshold for a figure as divisive as Farage, so seems pretty much inevitable, unless this pre-investigation-results by election kills the motivation. Now would he win the

I think Binface is going to smash his own records and get to like 20%. Farage will get enough that Farage is going to claim the result as a decisive victory while at the same time the result is actually deeply embarrassing for Farage.

I don’t have a garage, as is common in my country. Charging my car off a regular socket would thus require leaving a ground floor window open all night (undesirable from both a security and wildlife intrusion perspective) or installing a so

Eventually you are making things worse for your vast majority of users when you have to e.g. make them install a native app for a video call or use a TLS version that is broken to support those Gingerbread Android phones

Honestly, this is just the inverse of them all getting hyped on AI replacing all the jobs. Between both of these positions, RTO, crypto, VR, it's really shown just how much they're trend chasers. Only a Tech CEO speaks in absolute

People who’ve consumed some of the decades of hollywood movies and TV shows where the hero is portrayed as having to break the rules to get their guys and people enforcing rules are portrayed as officious bureaucrats.

I mean of course. If the person who sold you something is able to enforce terms on it, that's not ownership. The prospective NFT-sellers in your example are on the side of Sony, not the customers. Not to mention all the other failures

Steamworks, the integration library for games to interact with Steam features, has an optional DRM component. It's not a particularly impressive one, so it's more about stopping people copy/pasting their steamapps folder than

A marginal rate of 52%. Well, technically we pay for the education rather than student loans here, because it's more cost effective without the middlemen (though we do get the occasional think tanks suggesting we change that).

Depends on your OS. Mac is the easiest, it's just ---, Linux depends on your distro, if it uses KDE, it's <right-win>--- —. Windows is a little awkward, I think you need <right win>+the code point.

It looks aesthetically nicer. It was also a bit of a signal that someone took pride in their work and so helped that way. It's a bit like whether your tradesperson cleans up after themselves. Technically sweeping up the dust after inst

I think there's less motivation to scalp the steam machine than there was e.g. the steam deck or the PS5. With the PS5 there were all those PS5-exclusives where you can either get a PS5 or not play them. The Steam deck was the first of

Neither GDPR rules against tracking nor “cookie banners” are limited to cookies, so it’s unfortunate that “cookie banner” became a popular term since it means these discussions always waste time on “you can be tracked without cookies”

I updated from a screenless Wacom to an XP-Pen screen tablet. The tablet hardware itself is good (but also I moved up several product categories) for less money than the Wacom, but the experience getting it to work on Linux was reminiscent
