Milo's stratospheric rise in popularity hasn't helped. But for coverage of say Gamergate, it was the only news organization I'd seen to actually investigate and show the other side, rather than just utterly misunderstanding i

Now, mostly, maybe. At launch it was a clusterf k. I use Win 10 on pretty much every device except my phone and my disposable 7" Fire tablet. But Microsoft still find ways to screw things up. I don't know if ICS was working pre-A

I can do it, but holding the middle finger down while the surrounding fingers are up is not comfortable.

It means you aren't missing any actual calls by keeping your PSTN line engaged, the call is recorded for hilarity, and you can take the call when you aren't at home. You can make an otherwise boring car journey far more entertaini

2 hours? Amateur! A combination of VirtualBox, Twilio, a VPN and an old i5 laptop allows for far longer scammer frustration. Simply give them remote access (after hiding the VirtualBox tools) then turn down the core count, memory allocation

When I last saw it reported, 1080p is the max unless you use a Kaby Lake CPU and Edge (and the premium higher-price 4-stream Netflix subscription). The Windows Store app does not go above 1080p. It's such utterly ridiculous bullshit.

It's like a GOOD vending machine so it doesn't cost you anything if you don't get the goods. You only pay if you get a response!

I think the lax incompetence is the thing causing most alarm.

Ironically I discovered it yesterday when using it to trigger outbound Twilio voice calls from a Windows desktop (for testing the local Lync client). The Windows binary has the logo. (Off-topic, gotta change from ' to " for the

Indeed, the IMEI is on the SIM800 board, which is hooked up to the Pi's UART.

The project lead is in Latvia. Is anyone in Europe sunsetting 2g? Any network that does 2g GSM will work, and if it's pin and AT command set compatible with the SIM800 then any other GSM module will work. If not, it's a straightfo

No VoIP (yet at least), the audio is handled entirely by the SIM800 at present. The SIM800 is hooked up via the Pi's UART for commands. Not sure about the SMS software, someone on Reddit asked about that too.

Depending on the cellular modem, you can. Some the USB Huwawai modem dongles have a "call" mode, a YouTube search will give you a run down.

I wouldn't have said dishonest. The only access the baseband running on the SIM800 has to the main processor (Pi) is via the Pi's UART. It's completely different from the "read and write directly to shared memory" a

The combination of mbasic for Messenger, and m for normal Facebook browsing, is fine on Android. I don't install the awful FB apps on my phone any more, and I'm a fairly heavy Facebook user.

I think goven the origin story of the Pi, "political" implies something that wasn't there. The Pi was want expected to be the huge success it has been. They weren't sure they'd sell 1000 initially, and 10,000 was cr

While you're probably right, it could be something very different. It could be running a custom GUI on NetBSD or something. How it competes is unknown. Phone, sms, camera, email and web browsing are the essentials. Everything else, FB,

Is there a web-based version too? Or is it Android and iOS app only?

Yeah. It's an important story and message, but it's not something you want on the homepage. That should be at least one more click deep. That should be its own page, maybe linked in the FAQ or something. I wouldn't have said

I love how completely alien they are compared to us. The sort of decentralized nature of their nervous system compared to our path of evolution. (I'm no marine/evolutionary biologist so I'm probably butchering the terminology

No, but potentially significantly more valuable, depending on how much the product cost.

Yeah, seems like a poor choice for a name given the similarity too. If it were a cat tracking app, it'd be forgivable, but this is ridiculous.

I would imagine you can, but nothing gaming-grade because you're doing it over USB 2.0 which is even worse on the Pi than it is on the PC.

Wales has relatively recently moved to "opt-out". It appears to have already made a huge positive difference. I was disgusted at how many people opted out though. The Welsh aren't generally thought of as selfish. I had opted
