That doesn't equate. Something can have no value as news but incredible value as security. Your passwords, for example. The big question is whether Snowden's original thesis - that these newsagencies would find the right balance -

Can confirm that I am not Shaq, but the 4S was the last phone I could use entirely one-handed (i.e. my thumb had full reach of the screen whilst my pinkie finger sat under the bottom of the phone, cradling it), and the 13 mini was the last

All this so people can watch The Odyssey as Nolan intended whilst on the go. More seriously though, now do just the front screen on a non-folding device. It can even remain as thick as this thing when it's folded.

Text messages in iMessage or SMS are a fairly US-centric relic. That's not to say overseas is better - Europe depends on Whatsapp - but outside the US the whole 'blue box' thing isn't even a thing.

It's not the same, as it only works on the receiving end, but I use the ClearURLs addon for stripping that out. At least it somewhat helps, and ensures that any URL I copy from my browser doesn't have tracking IDs. https:/

I really enjoyed the writing, cheers. And yes, you may have done it the hard way, but you probably learnt 10x more by doing that. As for what to do next, I used to spend way too much of my late-2000s time on puzzle hunts (particularly the M

My sympathies; I did the same elsewhere once (during sporadic rain, so the ash stuck!) and had an absolute ball. The novelty was fantastic but I am however under no illusions that I'd ever want to live during a period where that was th

I do not keep ID on me at all times. I dont even own a wallet any more. Moving to GrapheneOS and not having virtual cards for contactless payment has been struggle, not going go lie.

I run JF not plex, but the #1 missing feature I'd like is per-user granular sharing of content within specific libraries. So far as I can tell, the only way around this is to symlink the subset of media into separate folders, make each

If you don't care for any of the modcons of a media streaming system similar to Netflix, etc. then more power to you, stick with a SMB share. It's undeniably less that can go wrong and god knows these systems can become a janitori

I have spent some time on this too. I really wanted your approach to work and went down that pathway with this [1], but its one weakness if you have multiple destinations with multiple socket types. It's not uncommon that I have to go

The point is that list isn't first-in-first-out. Public waiting lists are constantly reviewed by domain medical expert committees in the public system to triage priority patients. If you're truly urgent, you will get bumped up. If

It did fail safe though? Interference led to the network stopping, not trains just racing towards each other due to bogus line authorities. That is, by definition, fail-safe

My first "gaming" PC was a secondhand thing with a RIVA TNT2 M64. It had cooked memory from presumably prior abuse, in such a way that if I ran Counter-Strike with 3d accel on, some of the wall textures were transparent. But it al

You know, I've had this exact bug for some time on a Fire Stick 4K Max Gen 1 (similarly anaemic). I figured it was storage or RAM pressure causing the problem as I could see both were close to the limit, but didn't realise it wa

I work in mining and mining-adjacent. Safety is taken seriously and process is rigorous. lock-out-tag-out, etc. is all huge in it. These metrics are reported on both internally and externally and make up major components of incentive paymen
