Yeah, fuck everybody else's privacy. /s Why are you like this?

This is it. This isn't the EU's fault and the post isn't quantifying the benefit of requiring explicit consent in these banners. It's all about efficiency and productivity as if it's all that matters in the world. I

More than by increasing the scale of everything? Either I'm misunderstanding something or that doesn't make any sense to me.

The negative effects of being sedentary are known, and it requires extra effort in exercise to just offset the health risks of being sedentary during a full workday. It seems obvious and logical to me that if we can be less sedentary while

I wonder if he (and others) realizes that you can set 100% scale factor, but still increase font size in the applications you use. So you still have way more space available, but you don't necessarily need a magnifying glass and you

Even those are only 2560x1600. At this point, I'd rather take any 16:9 4k monitor, unfortunately. I'd pay out the nose for a good 5k 16:10 monitor though.

We see similar factors in Germany, which I find interesting. To the point where Volkswagen is investing billions into Rivian to save their software side. I've never heard anything good from developers I know who worked at VW or any oth

Is this a joke? I don't see it being any less prevalent than at any time in the past. There are plenty of trustworthy sites and plenty of people know about them. It's all over Reddit for anybody who's interested and it doesn&

People need to learn consent for people who've been dead for hundreds or thousands of years? Why? In the end, everything we leave behind belongs to our species' history and culture. There's no moral obligation for privacy und

Maintenance for infrastructure and buildings on solid ground is already expensive and difficult. I can't imagine how bad it would be for a sea-based town or city.

As a German who has been horrified by Germany's reluctance to oppose Russia for over a decade now, good riddance to NS2.

These exist. I have tons of straight and remuxed Blu-ray rips from certain sites that contain extra content and/or commentary or other tracks. If you know the right sites that specifically cater to people who want this stuff, it's

There are games I own on Steam where I'll prefer the cracked version because of asinine publisher decisions like forcing a third party launcher that often gets an update which breaks it on the Steam Deck.

The important part is that backwards compatibility became a focus after the Gamecube and it has been ever since. Like, this is just a fact. The Wii supported Gamecube games and controllers. Even the WiiU had the internal capability to run G

I have a T420 with a Core i5 2500 in great condition which still runs great on Windows 11. Core 2 Duo just didn't have the performance to have longevity. Sandy Bridge and later really do. Windows devices last for ages and it's rea

This is my favourite hack for the Steam Deck. By switching my SD cards and the internal SSD to btrfs, the space savings are unreal (easily halving used space). Every game gets its own prefix which means a crazy amount of file duplication.

"Fixing" the food industry isn't possible for as long as they have billions to sink into influencing politics. Trying to find a market or political solution has failed. Full stop. The fact that you're still trying to fin

You mean the best mobile phone OS that we ever had? Unfortunately disastrously managed and then squandered, but still. Also, Vista was a mess, but it was ambitious and it laid the foundation for 7 and it was only around for a few years befo

Ballmer's tenure started with XP and eventually gave us Windows 7. Nadella gave us 10 and 11. Though 10 was largely developed under Ballmer before its initial launch, it's been under Nadella's stewardship ever since. I'l

Rent for 4€, buy digital for 7€ or buy a hard copy for 8-10€. The decision is obvious.

Erm, the US, EU, China and others do this exact same thing. I guess it can be construed as a shakedown, but it's pretty normal globally. The context you conveniently left out: > Earlier this month, the minister had already indicated

Nobody said anything about people looking or talking different. The defining features of the Chinese government, such as its authoritarian nature and its values that are completely opposed to most Western values, have nothing to do with the

As a user who does have need for kernel access, because it's my god damn system and not yours, Microsoft's or anybody else's, I don't want it locked down. It's called security in depth. That means you don't nee

I've noticed that a surprising number of people here on HN are in favour of locking down Windows and preventing any kernel access at all to Windows users. It reeks of the "think of the children" arguments.

Only if you're unwilling to understand why. I'm neutral so far and the BBC article conveniently doesn't give any details on why the offer was rejected. It's perfect for painting the people on strike in a bad light.

I feel like that's too over-confident. They'll just do what corporations have been doing for decades. Invest in PR that paints this as protecting the American way and American values, and all the other nonsense corporations will u
