The contention the moon landings were faked is ridiculous. The most obvious rebuttal is that the USSR would have asserted it if there was a modicum of truth to it.

Related question: Is there any way to view HEIC files on Windows without installing the extensions from the Microsoft Store, or dodgy proprietary software? Even Irfanview requires the former.

I generally agree, but: >99.99% of the time a DoS is someone who is bored. Talking to them tends to work. This is an overstatement. A great number are extortionists or state sponsored attackers. They're not interested in chit chat,

Take one basic feature lacking from the web client - bulk printing all of the emails in a folder. That should be enough to show the web client is not fit for purpose. Not to mention all the organisations relying on extensions. Very tacky mo

Be careful using strong language like "nonsense" unless you're very sure that's you're right. For starters, it's hostile. Also, I think you're incorrect. Who do you think determines whether or not a partic

Windows just keeps getting weirder. There's this regrettable dichotomy between (1) a rock solid OS core with great features like Hyper-V, PowerShell and exceptional back-compat, and (2) a crap, sluggish, inconsistent UI slapped on top,

Go on, start imagining. You wake up to make your toast, press the button down, and see: * Sorry, you must complete a critical system update before proceeding. * Wi-Fi unavailable, please check the network. * Your AccuToast (TM) subscription

Also Australian - agreed. I got a toaster and kettle combo from a premium appliance manufacturer for Christmas. I've since seen the exact same kit in Aldi under their own brand. It's not just similar, it's the exact same prod

I don't mean any disrespect, but I made an incredibly basic doc - the JSON export is unlikely to be helpful, and the HTML export is essentially broken for a lot of features, such as an equation. I think that getting perfect PDF exports

Gee whiz, the scope of features is super impressive at such an early stage. It's a very unusual experience to be able to integrate pretty much any object in one module into another module - a big conceptual shift. Can I suggest you inc

You're right. Regrettably, I just read that Haneda is one of the handful that have it, but the system was broken. A great example of how an aircraft accident is almost always a result of multiple things going wrong. https://

I do agree it's inappropriate when it is invoked in reference to divine intervention. But not when it is simply used to describe something extraordinary. Take "Miracle on the Hudson" - I think it's fair there, it's

It's hard to know what that is. TCAS is a great example of an obvious solution to mid-air collisions - two devices seamlessly negotiate for one plane to go up, the other to go down. One I can think of is an electronic runway "lock

Assuming (1) the replacement is a better solution, and (2) it is feasible to retrofit every aircraft in the world and switch everyone over to it. Just in relation to (2), I can't really think of anything worse than having two communica

Pilots are accustomed to the immediacy of voice communication, which any electronic system will struggle to replicate. More sophisticated radio than simplex VHF has too many variables, and agreeing on an international standard would be chal

This argument lacks substance. Are you suggesting the benefits of emissions-free operation are set-off, wholly or to a substantial degree, by the emissions produced in the manufacture of those products? The answer is clearly "no".

The same was said about Windows 11. We were told, by none other than Microsoft, that Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows. https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/7/8568473/windows-10-last-ve...

The major advantage of AA/CP is they are simple screen projection protocols capable of being supported for decades. The "brains" of the system, namely the phone, can be easily upgraded as technology changes. People will get n

The burden of proof doesn't work that way, and your initial comment offered no elaboration about why it was plagiarised. An explanation was called for.

Do you have any evidence the article was plagiarised from the source, other than the fact they write about the same thing at about the same time? It's a pretty serious allegation.
