As a non-hardware backer myself, I'm not hugely bothered. But many of us did a non-hardware-tier backing to receive the cool technical updates, which will now be scaled back or discontinued. Personally, I'm hoping we get a discoun

The awesome little cheap Windows 8.1 (or 10) tablets with the quad core Atom processors and 1GB RAM are great, and Chrome/Opera runs just fine on them. Firefox though, is like trying to run through molasses. I run Firefox on my laptop,

I switched to Opera to escape some of Google's tentacles, and that was a smooth transition. If you want a compromise, it's worth a shot. I then went the whole hog to Firefox. uBlock Origin, Self Destructing Cookies, and a VPN (Pri

That depends, because you can actually recover it for free over a long enough time period. It's easy if you plan your file sizes in advance based on your allowance, and don't need it in a hurry. Your bill is based on your peak ret

The signal app, the one that shows me how strong my mobile signal is? Yes. (Annoyingly only for one SIM though.) "The app called Signal" would be the only sensible way to do it that I can immediately see, but it's still clums

It used to be SkyDrive, which was stupid, because "Sky" is a massive broadcaster and ISP in the UK and Ireland.

As was mentioned on another HN thread, why the ridiculous name? "Signal" is an already widely used term when talking about mobile communications. With cell phones in particular. "I'm trying to get signal on my phone&quot

Frankly it is a stupid choice. "Have you got signal?", "Get signal so I can message you!" It is already a widely used word relating to cell phones. Even with context, it's not obvious which "Signal" one is

Not in the Stable or Beta channels of Chrome. (There may be a way of re-enabling it, but frankly, Opera or something Chromium based.) https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2811969?hl=en-GB

In the immediate term, no, it shouldn't. The update was rejected, but the already published version remains up. There's nothing catastrophic in the earlier version. In the medium term, yes, because if this issues can't be res

I think OP's actions were proportional to the offense. You slag someone (or someone's work) off in public, and/or rip someone off publicly, you should expect to be publicly flogged.

If you just went to that thread 15 hours ago, you did not read the original answers. It was vastly different before it was edited. It was unreadable for me. 68 words in the opening sentence for one of the replies.

Depends. The main point the author in the OP doesn't seem to understand: Know your audience. "Dumb down" your writing, but only if it will help you communicate with the person (or people) you're targeting. Else there&#x2

But YouTube is usable on WinPho using IE though, isn't it? Sure it's not a first class experience, but talking as someone with a fair bit of WinPho experience... What on WinPho is a first class experience? (Admittedly I've

I think I'll hold off upgrading to 10 until it's closer to being finished. Right now, it shouldn't have left beta. Still, on the plus side, it'll probably be lucrative for IT techs when non-contract clients brick their m

It's always worked for me, on all the big five. I've just tested it now (having disconnected from my PIA VPN) and it worked fine. The VPN works too (obviously). I do sometimes find that switching to TCP (which should make it slowe

But would it fuck him on the VATMOSS? Would he lose the ability to verify the address via the cardholder billing address? A question I don't know the answer to.

It was £6, which is closer to $10 USD. But good question. Could you require the first payment to be for say three months upfront, and rolling monthly after that? Or discount quarterly billing and hike the rolling monthly above the threshold

If you reach out to the author, I'd imagine he'll get back to you as soon as he's able. He's answered a few questions over on Reddit, and his email address is on the page linked in the HN OP. The author seems to be respo

As a loyal SwiftKey on Android user, the prediction engine for SwiftKey is unnervingly good. Glad to see it's put to a better use than helping me write Facebook and HN posts. It begs the question though, why isn't there a proper S
