I put my start menu up the centre of my two side-by-side monitors. If I were using this, I'd use the dual 16x9 mode and do the same. It has a couple of advantages, despite probably looking a little odd on a single monitor: 1) It is cen

I completely understand the need for the Mozilla org to diversify its funding sources. If that’s the case, they should be honest and upfront with it. Come out and say that you want to try ad revenue, rather than this “giving back” nonsense.

How is an accusation of it being an ad at all a stretch? It’s a placement offering a deal for a company, whether or not it was paid for. That seems to fit the definition of an ad to me. Furthermore, I’m not sure where you got the idea that

Apparently, setting both “ask-permission” and “enabled.user-gestures-needed” to true then enables a setting in the privacy area of settings to have a dropdown box with these options. I’m guessing it maps to the 0/1/2 setting I men

Then the statement "It was not a paid placement or advertisement." is blatantly false. they simply say whether it was paid, not whether it was paid to a specific entity.

I was hoping to see this pushed out by default because I agree that it's the best 'new' feature I've found in the browser in some time. You can change it in about:config, searching for 'media.autoplay'. I'

In addition to this: Even though the link claims that it is not a paid placement, it's still an advertisement. If Mozilla really wants to provide more value to me, they'll tell me how to permanently disable it. Its presence provid

I'm so glad I have never encountered anything this bad in my life. This is truly awful.

There's several well-known ones that work, and additional projects like Streisand[1] which exist to allow a roll-your-own solution. In all cases, VPNs that work are ones that obfuscate that they're VPNs via varying methods. Otherw

It's worth noting that he also rode into power on the back of a reputation of being a 'progressive conservative', partly due to his business ties wherein he invested in an ISP in the 90s and early 2000s and made a large sum o

They're legally forbidden on roads and even in the bike lanes [1]. I can understand the road lanes, but I think it's a bit insane to keep them from bike lanes. Either way, both the police and Lime (via the app) specifically direct

Like the sibling comment said, there is no specific location, which is what makes these different to our CityCycle programme. That increased flexibility has a place, and I think that education is the better solution. There are some areas wh

The ads weren't only displaying in the app , they were appearing over other apps. This is something that simply can't happen in iOS. How does a standard user know whether a small app to e.g. manipulate photos (as in this instance

A few days ago my friend complained that her phone had randomly started popping up ads on its screen as she was just using it. She had to dig through the play store and find the 'recently used apps' to identify the culprit, which

It's billed on Streisand's Github page [1] as working there. I'll be giving it a spin in February as an alternative to Shadowsocks and Anyconnect. Just need Wireguard on Windows now! [1]: https://github.com/St

As others have said, we have them in Brisbane. Amusingly, they're forbidden from using all roadways including the green bicycle paths on the sides of roads. They must be ridden on the footpath, or on dedicated bikeways that aren't

I haven't had too much issue with them as a pedestrian, though I'm baffled as to why they're forbidden from using bike lanes on roads and are therefore forced to use the footpaths. They travel with the same sort of speed as a

Why are you not convinced? That's precisely the logic used by a sugar tax, and is the same logic used in tobacco taxes. In countries where there's public healthcare, the burden of it on the public purse is a very real consideratio

bing.com redirects to a Chinese version of Bing, which prioritises Chinese sites. I have no basis for saying this beyond not knowing how they could do this otherwise, but I would assume that they must censor results to exist there. I don&#x

No, they mean that ethically it's black in the same way that we describe blackhat vs whitehat hackers.

Yup, my long history of playing Ultima and in particular UO was what made me go 'oh, so THAT'S where they got the name!'. It's nice to see how these fantasy worlds tie back to our own in inspiration.

Sorry, I should've been much clearer, that was really badly worded as I was distracted also doing my day job :) As a sibling comment pointed out, I wasn't using any specific terminology as I was trying to talk at a layman level. T

Expanding on this, this 10KeV temperature is the average of all particles, and there's a distribution around this average. Some will be higher, and thus more capable of colliding with high energy. In addition to that, whether two nucle

It is incredibly high. We hold it in not by any material, but by magnetic fields. Plasma has the handy feature of being magnetic. The Tokamak[1] design used in ITER and this example uses a whole heap of magnets to hold this plasma in a doug

Sustainable high-temperature plasma is what we need to create fusion as an energy source. Current fusion processes rely on pulsing a very short instant of high temperature. This creates a brief instance of fusion, but takes heaps more energ

As I understand, this represents sufficient energy to overcome the Coulomb Barrier [1] which naturally repels atoms apart. To cause fusion, you need to push particles together either hard enough or fast enough that they push through this re
