I’m curious about how Duolingo fits betwern Quebec, and Metropolitan French etc; I gather it can be like a Glaswegian talking to a New Yorker - one can find the other much harder to follow than vice versa. (My wife for instance speaks metr

Not much, especially since much of this makes repair etc more difficult. Although maybe they could force iPhone in lost mode to loudly and constantly announce they miss their human, like a lost dog?

Needed a hard drop copy of data from an industrial metering device for auditing and backup. It was the handover point for the delivery of natural gas for a large field and a quarter of the country’s energy supply. The engneers wired an extr

It’s doesn’t show live data, but yes this kind of service does have privacy concerns. If you’re say, a Russian submarine commander , don’t use it, or at least see your rides private like it shows you. https://taskandpurpose.com

For a start, PDFs only /look/ simple. The PDF format is Byzantine and very few viewers implement all of it. Making a PDF editor is much, much worse and the market of people who need to modify, rather then generate or view, PDFs

From old news reports, it was at least as much about not wanting to expend the effort to move the boxes when they relocated offices at some point. Not that that is any better.

There is no absolute right of free speech in the EU (and probably most countries); foreign companies operating there are subject to local laws when doing so. (In my non-EU country that tweet could be interpreted as a hate crime too, quite u

Location access on device absolutely. The problem here is the Google has been collecting extremely detailed location data, going back years, for nearly all of its users. And while it’s mildly interesting or useful to some, it’s dangerous t

I was a juror on a trial where this was tried. The prosecution showed logs from the mobile phone companies’ towers showing where it have been seen, including overnights, and calls from it to the guys friends. Also didn’t help him that it

Not that easily! The UK felt compelled to (re)build its own, independent nuclear capability after WWII when the Americans cut off technology sharing from the Manhattan Project. This was especially annoying from an ally which had learned mu

Thread builds on the same physical layer as Zigbee, IEEE 802.15.4; the big difference is unlike Zigbee it also incorporates IPv6. The physical layer is important for low power mesh networks, like the sensors and switches here- and WiFi is
