That "device that's worth as much as a used iPod" costs ~$40 including a power supply and has the potential to do far more than just allow you to play music without notifications (which was already possible on your phone). It

On the app-front I've actually noticed an opposite direction in that I'm using fewer and fewer of these by moving more and more to web-versions of the services offered by apps. What apps I'm still using are mostly free softwa

You can do all these things on a modern phone, no need to dig out the Sansa, iPod or Nokia. Assuming you have a media collection at home and a working internet connection you just get any SBC - Raspberry Pi etc - and hang it off that intern

Yes, of course, I only got one of the things when I got a girlfriend - who is now my wife - in another country. Before that time I was employed as a service developer and -architect at a big telco while at the same time (well, at night most

Well, in a way, yes, especially when using older hardware like the Thinkpad T42p I'm using right now. Go to the Wayback machine or Internet Archive, find a page from when the machine was made (2004) and compare its loading time to the

That is an odd definition of 'left', 'right' and 'liberal'. There are plenty of people on the 'right' side of the political spectrum who put far more emphasis on culture than they do on biology, I&#x2

I wonder how those who want to find the cause of their failure in other people's success eventually deal with the fact that Nigerian immigrants into the USA are far more successful compared to African Americans while they are visually

I'm confused by your confusion given the fact that I clearly stated that whatever someone says has to be within the bounds of the law. As far as I can see there is no room for confusion here, freedom of expression is bounded by certai

In the Netherlands, just like in Sweden and many other European countries you more or less need to balance the left-leaning main stream media opinion with some of the alternative channels - Geenstijl in the Netherlands and Nyheter Idag in S

Isn't that one of the biggest issues without which any other 'openness' is not worth that much? By having all software distribution going through a single channel which rather arbitrarily gets to choose what is allowed and wh

It isn't problematic, just silly. There is no need to police other people's thoughts as long as they keep within the bounds of the law. He is even free to express those thoughts, within the bounds of the law, just like people are

That isn't ad insertion but sponsorship. What I mean is for the server to present a single video stream which does not contain markers to identify advertising content, more or less the way many netcast ads are inserted into the audio s

That's because 'help' on most Linux-based systems is actually a shell builtin which explains other shell builtin commands. This, in turn, is related to the fact that Linux-based systems are flexible - you could use a totally

Ads have effectively disappeared for a number of years now for those who use a sensible approach to ad blocking (i.e. a combination of ingress blocking, DNS blacklists and browser-based blocking). This could change if content providers star

Well, yes, in the USA this is probably the case. The world is a lot bigger than the USA and encompasses a multitude of countries where protesting is best done anonymously. The 'black block' tactics by the likes of AFA/Antifa

Yes, this. I find it far more satisfying to take older devices, put the latest AOSP-derived distribution on them and make them work just as well as new ones than to just buy... buy... buy... to follow the 'trend'...

Doesn't that work the other way around as well, as in LAWs come to life or stay in place because of LAWyers? Both due to the rather large percentage of lawyers who end up in politics as well as due to lawyers using their powers of pers

It might look like that for people inside the walled garden but I suggest applying for an exit visa to have a look around the great wide world out there where you'll quickly find out that it is a whole lot more diverse than the picture

Stop releasing software for Apple products. Release for Windows, release for Android, release for Linux where applicable but ignore Apple. If enough people do this Apple will either give in and loosen their stranglehold or they'll see

For human observers it is rather easy to separate the rioters from protesters when observing video streams. On still images this is much harder unless the image happens to catch a rioter in the act of slinging a Molotov cocktail or swinging

It would be even better if the tool could make a difference between legitimate protesters and those who are there to riot, loot, pillage and burn since I see no reason to mask their faces.
