My problem is more with the ecosystem than reliability; granted, I don’t need too much from it, just some screens, networking and USB. But that’s just a giant pain to figure out in general. Adapters and cables that require painstaking resea

I’ve seen disclaimers in YouTube videos by just about every channel with a larger audience for years now. I don’t really browse through publications on the daily enough to tell you about those (I get linked to articles directly most often

Maybe I’m old or have the mentality of an older person, I don’t know… but this seems very deeply unappealing to me, even though I have looked at bluetooth-enabled sunglasses before with potential interest. My subjective take-away is that Fa

I don’t know what to say to that, other than to talk about my experience living in Eastern Eruope: about two of my friends are the ones who remained in the country, everyone else has gone to the west, whether Austria, Germany or the UK, the

I don't trust anyone even though I have nothing to hide. If Apple was serious about privacy maybe they'd put some of their lobbying / peer pressure efforts towards that instead of trendy social fads at least this once.

I fully expect them to eventually go ahead with it, I just wonder if they'll turn this on via a flip of a switch when the device phones home or it will be a software update. So basically: will upgrading to iOS 15 be safe for now?

Scientific progress seems to turn everything into an arms race that becomes more and more tempting, dangerous and risky as things advance. We seem to lack the self restraint necessary to stop ourselves from playing the game, the primary vic

With the previous macOS versions I had similar difficulties trying to get rid of the notification popup offering a “quick tour” of the OS after an update. In Big Sur the only persistently annoying popup is the one that appears for not grace

I'm no better. I use it to keep in contact with friends, most of whom have moved to other countries but I try to maintain a backup. I also own an Oculus and have given credit for the Quest in the past as the closest thing to mainstream

Any user of any Facebook property needs to understand well in advance that the company engages in active psychological manipulation and experimentation on its users and then decide if this clashes with their personal autonomy. Remember them

What would happen if in a new paradigm shift multi-nationals decided to use their enormous lobbying power to push back on the government in favor of their users for once instead of only lobbying to screw them over?

I stopped watching purely due to the Spotify deal. I was willing to give it a try until I saw that they were memoryholing episodes. I might be in the minority here but it felt like a betrayal. If he wanted more money he could’ve invested in

I find it fascinating that people get into fights over this, just as they did when payment processors forced the deplatforming of conservative political commentators as if it wasn’t the different sides of the same coin. Not only that but pe

I found wsl and wsl2 to be way too limited in many aspects. By the time I accomplished what I wanted in a very hacky manner I spent like 5-6 hours messing around that would have taken me at most 30 minutes in a normal VM. All I wanted to do

You could call your phone provider and ask them if they offer a signal booster or something like that. I’m in Eastern Europe and if you nag Orange enough about the signal issues at your house they will actually send you a little device you

This is what I'm worried about, to be honest. Not necessarily getting hacked but just getting flagged, banned and burned with no recourse. This is why I commented on an article here some weeks ago that if they ever offered any paid use

This made me smile, it sounds like a digital fairytale. A mathematical optimisation causing foxes to lead people to treasure, it sounds so surreal but insanely cool!

Just a heads up, if you are looking into using this in your project: The popup onclick triggers are currently broken in the latest version under Safari, using an older version solves it. Other than that this is an awesome library with tons

My general go-to for PC hardware is ASUS with none of their weird extra drivers installed but I’d be willing to try a Lenovo next. My experiences with Dell have been nothing but bad, we’ve had a bunch of XPS 15s at the office and they all d

I wonder if anyone would've really cared (or at least cared this much) if they just nixed the possible plans to do end to end on the entire iCloud and just did the scanning server-side. I probably wouldn't have started looking at

Honestly, I genuinely regret having anything to do with that platform. It’s such a pain; we’ve integrated OAuth into a client’s platform at her request and every two months we get threatened to either provide them with stuff or just misc. B

This is so cool! The Raspberry Pi comes alive when you put an SSD boot drive in, it becomes such a joy to use (for me it also offered a bit of a feeling of safety as I had multiple SD cards die on me in my networking Pi). If you compare run

That's very unfortunate. Sounds like it'll affect the Epic lawsuit, too, in all sorts of unexpected ways. I'm really curious to see what happens to this bill since this is such a strange time in history that it has a chance o

If I were to speculate, I’ve seen lots of references as to how Apple reports way less of this to the appropriate authority than the rest of their competition. It does kinda sound to me like this is the consequence of external pressure. I ca

It’d be kinda nice to see this pass, though I don’t know what effect this would even have on Google? Aren’t you free to install FDroid or anything else?

It'll probably be a bit awkward to use for anything other than gaming, maybe if anyone really wants media playback they can just duct tape Kodi to it, which you can do if you add it to Steam as an external app and have it appear in you

I don't understand your point, despite your italics. Apple circulated a memo inside their company, even if it's written by someone else. Why would you say they did that? Because they don't agree with it, at least a bit? Gener
