Why does the number of countries matter? You go to a foreign country for a week, and you learn a few phrases (please, thank you, where is the toilet, ...) before you enter, just in case someone there doesn't know english, because why s

Everybody has gone to war with eachother in every continent all the way through history. If you go live in a country (long-term, which 10 years is), you should learn the language and not expect the locals to try to conform to your not-knowi

The reason is probably that there are way way less devices in use now. Graphics cards are made by 2+1 companies (nvidia, amd and somewhat intel), webcams are uvc compatible, mice and keyboards are "driverless", there are less and

Same is true with some cooking/food videos... and luckily there are people actually debunking them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSBSzWmjXO0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eINllOc0hc https:/

After the joke fiasco, and since it's a government job, i'm sure there is someone employed there to thaw them first :D

I always thought that he was some kind of an engineering/anthrophology/... proessor/TA, and after showing a few examples (eg. how a brick is made), a team of students took over the work for a lab course, each of them made 20

In 3d printing circles and even 3d printer instruction manuals this has been written for years now... PLA is worse material (especially in regards for UV), but can be done inside, while ABS needs a heated surface and emits poisonous gasses

Or you live outside of USA and there is no store that has X files dvds. Also no streaming service offers that here. Also due to copyright and region locking, I cannot import them from USA. But somehow if I pirate that, i cause them 'da

Yep, browsers should have per-domain cookie jars that get wiped when the all tabs/windows using that domain are closed.. and then a button not to wipe them on those few domains that you actually need them (to stay logged in). But this

If you have access to 'dirty water' (like a puddle of muddy water from a dirty area... or seawater) and a laser pointer, you can make a DIY microscope at home and see the stuff inside yourself. https://www.youtube.com&#

Yep, i never understood this either. You finish your college, you're officially an (eg.) engineer now, you can build a bridge, millions of people will use every year, and it's ok... but if you want to try out new compositions and

BMP is really great, the whole format is described on wikipedia with enough detail to code it yourself in literally 10 minutes, and the 'hardest' part of creating (or parsing) a bmp is counting the bytes to pad the data correctly,

It's not a touchpad, it's physical keys, and texting on the phone from the video seems horrible too.... nokia+t9 is quite efficient and was never an issue back then. I agree about the driving thing... maybe nokia n95 needs a new r

Why do kids need special protections online? How about we jail parents who don't teach their kids how to behave online? Imagine way-too-young kids printing out their bathing suit pictures and sellotaping them to a tree with their phone

Not just "everything was new" but also "everything was better" (well.. except the stuff that wasn't and failed horribly soon after launch). You bought a computer, and (if you had a money) you bought a new one after

Yep... This picture says it all: https://i.imgur.com/jaXMYHr.png I also hate the minimalism of small greyish singe-color outline icons, where everything looks the same, and you don't know what it does... a grey square?

I have no idea why they even try anymore? There was an UN vote to try to stop the sanction against cuba... the result? 185 vs 2 - 185 to stop the sanctions, 2 (brazil, ukraine) abstained and 2 countries voted to continue the sanctions (isra

You have two problems: 1) a lot of wind means there's too much power... that has to be used somewhere, that's why you have negative prices, to get someone to take that power off the grid and use it for something, sometimes useless

Considering how much intentionally fake garbage got published, this doesn't surprise me at all... and this is not just random scientists, but scientists who should (atleast theoretically) know enough to be able to notice it's gibb

Even if you solved that, you'd still have problems with knives (you can't outlaw kitchen knives), homemade explosives, sticks, screwdrivers, acid, etc. Mental health, crime, and drugs (also, again crime related to those), and you&

Yep... radio, AC, all the lights etc. should always be physical buttons. Reseting TPMS settings can be done on a touchscreen too. Sadly, even stuff like radio and AC controls in some cars have moved to touchscreens, and that sucks a lot.

If everything goes to plan and everyone is satisfied, noone write an article about that. On the other hand, this is government (taxpayers) money, so why not waste some extra money, skimp on testing and pocket the difference, because everyon

Yep, especially since leeches come asking for more and more. And I understand if it's a sick kid or some other kind of an emergency... but people overstretch for luxuries.
