I would not trust a company whose bottom line is proportional to how much personal data they collect to just honour an "anonymise" argument. Not to mention, analytics still wouldn't require a cookie unless they want to know w

I fully agree with him. In-video ads should die. I don’t really mind product placement as long as the brand matches the content of the video (a gun channel promoting gun manufacturers is fine by me) but I’m getting so tired when a totally u

Well I guess if you did a good job as the IT support person then users may like it because you spent time taking the garbage out (no candy crush, cortana, forced reboots, etc) via Group Policies and ponying up for a license that actually al

Even better, kill the cancer at the source by attacking ad network’s servers. I’m actually wondering, would the record-breaking DDoS attacks we had a year ago thanks to the Mirai botnet be enough to take down Shitbook if all the attack traf

The difference is that back in “the days” (which sadly I am too young to have experienced), the information you were giving away usually stayed with who asked for it. I personally wouldn’t mind giving some personal information away to a cor

TLDR: Not really a server room. Just an old pile of rust phone switch/PBX, and a computer that was used to configure it.

Disappointing that a website about making the web better still wants to track me with cookies for god knows what reason (also non-GDPR compliant despite them being based in Germany).

What’s the price of a license for a single machine? I bet it’s really expensive and rivals the price of a Mac, at which point I’m not sure why you’d go for the Microsoft option (even the Enterprise version has its quirks and isn’t as polish

Run my own cloud storage. Get a small server with a few storage drives and back up to there. I use iCloud for now, but there’s something comforting about actually owning my data instead of trusting a third-party.

I’m not sure where is Microsoft getting their shit together. Last time I checked, Windows 10 is still a shit-show and completely unusable as a workstation . It’s good as a toy to play Candy Crush, sure (it even comes preinstalled!) but def

You probably don’t bring your server to hazardous environments where it can get drinks spilled on it. For laptops this kind of environment is common; in fact most of Louis Rossmann’s repairs are about liquid damage.

This marketshare might be much more in terms of their userbase though. Macs are dominant in the creative industries.

I am surprised that Roland would use such an unconventional method for generating noise. Sourcing and testing those bad transistors had to be more expensive than just buying good parts, and surely they must’ve known that their supply of bad

Could you elaborate? How is my definition of bias incorrect? All I'm saying is that people with power/money can use these to skew media to push their own agenda.

Sad to see that for the new generation, "news" is equivalent to shitty Instagram pictures. It's quite funny that they consider this as more trustworthy than conventional "news". Not saying conventional news is alway

What they are doing is not legal as they do not provide a way to opt-out.

However SMS/email is not comparable to Twitter. One is push, ie you don't have to do anything to receive the unwanted messages. The other is pull, where you explicitly have to search the user's profile or follow them to see t

Not just the client's quality, but the amount of obvious spam that could be automatically deleted by simple string comparisons, should they ever think about hiring competent developers.

She’s clearly implying that the products she sells somehow improve health despite there being no scientific evidence to back that (but plenty of evidence refuting it). That fits the definition of a con artist to me.

I am really disappointed in humanity when not only a snake oil saleswoman is made successful, but is also seen as some kind of example to follow. She is a con artist. End of story. I’d have more respect for conventional criminals - at least

Depends what the cookies were used for. But even if we assume all cookies require consent, the answer seems simple: don’t set any cookies. There is no functional reason for a content-only website to require cookies.
