Thx for letting cops and other entities bust more people with your funny device. Sorry I got absolutely no respect for this invention of yours as I know people personally who suffer from law enforcement's false positives. You'll o

1. GPUs can be used as external devices did you know that? 2. I don't. 3. If I would, there are plenty other computers to buy that I can still repair way easier than this crap from Apple.

Exactly this is just awesome! Keeping conversations going and following threads that don't just live inside forums but also commenting sections etc. is something very difficult and annoying with a web browser. This could be a solution

Haha, me too :D Wrote a batch script that used a wildcard - it took them a while to find it and I was very lucky the only 3 persons who knew who it was wouldn't tell anyone. One was a teacher and I am thankful until today that he didn&

Go easy on him - we'll see who can laugh harder in a few years ;-)

Thank you for clarifying this. It's not an excuse for Apples policy to fight "the right to repair" etc. but it's less worse than I thought. Of course if you own new Apple products you are completely screwed when in need

There is no absolute approach. On Windows you can use @rlv-dan's strategy though not all apps will be portable. On Linux it's mostly enough to save your dotfiles incl. .bashrc and your home folder. You can also save your repo list

And you just trust Facebook to somehow really encrypt everything in this black-box? I think this is naive as Facebook has always lied to us and proved it isn't a trustworthy entity. WA used to steal your contacts by default to improve

Totally agree. When I read the title my mind ignored the "... of Publishing" because this is just one part of this "hydra". Amazon seeks to dominate & assimilate as many things as it can like the Borg. It's not

That's what I really like about the EU. At least sometimes it tries to serve it's people.

Yes, it seems a bit clickbaity to me... The Germans sold their cheat-cars as long as they weren't detected and even now when their own children protest against the political practices regarding climate change they don't really do

Clearly they shouldn't have stopped producing the iPhone SE or it's successor in the same shape. Also they messed up really hard when they introduced the new MBP keyboards which now all have to be replaced. The iPad started to be

That's the interesting thing - we know so much but so little changes (fast enough). We call ourselves civilized and think about colonizing other planets but still haven't solved the problem of poverty. Everyone who isn't igno

here you have more resources: http://news.trust.org/item/20180918134734-kqc8m https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2017/11/industry-gian... There is much more if you want to

In my experience intelligent people don't believe in gods. They take responsibility for their own actions, thoughts and speech.

I don't think they use harsher practices in production. Smartphone production is just the same: First the people are enslaved to get the resources out of some mines, then some Asian workers (inc. children etc.) have to assemble (996 wi

You sound like the typical "science guy" who thinks he is the smartest person on earth because: PhD. Of course all others are "below you" but you know what? THIS is your blind spot (let this be told to you by people who

+1 That's totally true and understandable. I feel exactly the same way.

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
Basically yes. But I would maybe like to be left alone on my beautiful farm without all the people visiting me. If I'd want to have so much company I'd have opened a store or museum I think. Where I come from we really had somethi

That's true. I think they are harming themselves by doing this because they can't really enjoy the moment and just "be" there. I rarely take pictures because I always think "there's already awesome pics of this

It's not silly. It proves you are a very creative person and I love it :-)

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
That sounds like a lame excuse - sorry. Every child knows that you don't do whatever you want on the grounds of other people, in their gardens and homes. Stop being jerks and just ask people politely if it's ok for them that you t

Thank you for the hint, looks like some good source.

Oh nice - thank you very much! :-D I thought about writing my own app for exactly that task but when I see yours I think I don't need to do that anymore. Awesome! :-)

1. How do you dare to think you'd know that he would've done that just because you read some things he wrote? 2. Just because I may have other thoughts doesn't mean that I'm wrong. 3. Of course the system matters and I&#

TLDR; This is how our system works Good analysis - it's all just about money (which means existence). Too bad many people don't want to see that and still believe in "the american dream" and other fairy tales so they can

Yes very nice theories he came up with and very sad to live in a world that's like the dirty, bloody, stained picture of this utopia. We endure the current situation because of the greed and narcissism of a few who don't want to s

I think this may be based on how you'd like the people to act. But from my experience there is situations and places where someone has to look for people and help them to stop their destructive behavior. In my opinion this problem is c

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
Exactly. The funny thing is: It's basically the same thing as the "prime day" itself. Provide stuff at a price point no one can compete - do this just good enough to hook people and keep the thought in their heads to buy at y

Yes. It's easier to blame China this way and what would the West do if their favorite nemesis was gone?
