I really do not know why you (and other commenters later) place such great faith in the add on devices, Roku in particular. Just from a couple months ago: "And that’s where streaming TV company Roku comes in. Today, the company is intr

Likewise, I will not go further with firefox until there is a working session manager. The one supposed alternative that is compatible has poor reviews and appears unreliable. I might add that I was a nightly user for over 30 prior version

Solar is not going to work in many states the way it can in say CA, AZ or NV. Beyond that though, I really wonder how they are going to find enough resources to build a robust enough system of backup/peak use storage not just in CA bu

Only a matter of time before we read about the FBI paid tech putting files on the device in order to get his bounty.

25 bucks is pretty rich for just kicking around in a museum for a little while. Understand they need more funding but think they would do better with a lower price that doesn't result in turn aways (or never shows). And certainly tak

If you crop the margins on US based journals, you can read a full page. The type is slightly smaller than what it would be if printed on paper, but is more than legible with good eyes or those who wear glasses (me). A4 is close to letter s

Same group as you. I primarily use it for reading. Just want to group together a few response to you and others about my experience: -battery life has been fine, especially when used mostly as a reader. -no web browser/apps is actuall

I got a reMarkable as part of the original lot of buyers. Haven't had quite as much time to use it as I'd like but can summarize: -would like a little better contrast on the screen, though it does seem roughly on par with kindles

Yubikey is a step in the right direction, but afaik it is still vulnerable at the pin entry level unlike a dedicated smartcard wtih pinpad reader. Likewise, gpg-agent, if I understand/remember it correctly, is also subject to attacks

The one advantage of the 80s is you could open the windows (though there was no ac) and you could ride in the vestible between cars. Still having some risk adversion, I would generally get on/off from inside a car but had no problem r

Not to be flip, but those who live in the nyc (ny) burbs subsidize your mass transit, as do businesses in the burbs. Though dated, a 2011 Rockefeller Institute study claimed nyc paid out 5% more than it got back to the rest of the state whi

That pdf does not address the case of (hidden) recording devices placed in the home by the homeowner. As a hypothetical - if two robbers are caught in conversation while in my home, do I first need their consent to record them (as even in

Does this also mean the FCC will attempt to invalidate those state laws bought by ISPs to block municipal network competition?

Like you, I care not how much of a speed improvement may be had as without certain add-ons, my end value is 0. I have been with Mozilla since, IIRC, netscape 0.96. I only use Chrome if absolutely necessary for site functionality. NoScript,

Though if NoScript is any indication, they will not work as well and the user interfaces will be inferior.

This really sounds like another case of whats old is new again. In a way, I think it speaks a bit to the obsolecence of what used to be 'systems professionals' that things have swung so far into the end user domain. If the finance

I agree it would be nice to have a 5" height smartphone with 85 to 90% screen coverage. Doesn't look to happen. And iphone X is really no different size wise to its current/recent competition. The S8 is slightly taller (5mm)

Ah yes..my fond memories of 300 baud and being able to read my program listing as it printed on the teletype or when lucky, video terminal. Thankfully I missed 110 baud.

I suspect I'll be on 56 for a very long time as well. I ran on nightlies for many, many years but that ended at 57. At a bare minimum, noScript must be shown to be fully and consistently functional. But I have quite a few other exte

Having owned a border collie I can say they are (in general) not the best dogs to have around young kids. They tend to want to heard the little ones and may sometimes nip at ankles if order is not maintained. To an extent this behavior can

I am mostly moving on from an LG G2 to the new Essential Phone. For the past year I have been running AICP, currently at Android 7.1.x Prior to that I had about a year of Cyanogenmod. Granted, third party roms are not for the average use
