If my ISP hadn’t sent those legal threats for having an open access point someone used to downloaded music from, I’d run this kind of thing on a guest network segment. Edit: open to suggestions like running a segment through Tor

Imagine someone mutilating your junk at birth and nobody taking offense or seriously believing that’s wrong, downplaying and mocking your concerns of autonomy. …Welcome to earth little man, it’s only going to get worse from here.

I personally cringe when I hear any vocalization of the nametag I happen to have been assigned. Not a fan of this noise where some old bag gets to slap a label on a new shiny baby that is unwittingly subscribed to happily responding to that

Who could have imagined that ad tech built with principles such as confusing UIs tricking customers into ad clicks, that fingerprint us and resell our personal info, that punish creators on the web by scraping answers from their sites, that

Right? I’m curious what pro’s do “at the indy 500”. Most devs where I work use 15” macs and probably a blend of apps from jetbrains toolbox. Mostly connected to power outlets to be fair. So we’re talking local installs of spring boot app J

This is the first bench I believe might be real. i saw 11542 multi core spammed across news sites a couple days back, but it didn’t align with a 1.7x boost to performance (which this result actually does). The single core was 1749 which al

I won’t argue with you about this, as I’m tied up arguing about it already with my inner aspie.

The response in the USA was so comically bad! “Well there’s no research to support that spitting in each other’s mouths is a bad idea, so I could not advise against it” That’s not a real quote, but typifies the ludicrously moronic vein of t

I took wellbutrin for depression once, and I tolerated that for less than two weeks. Can confirm: no release valve = even worse depression.

I was overseas recently checking out the Huawei Harmony OS devices and did stop to consider that while the Chinese could be spying on me with their distribution, they’d totally lack authority over me and may be less inclined to provide acco

Because internet explorer? Mobile web was very bad until a few short years ago. LTE and Chrome have been changing the narrative. Even when webs app are fine and readily available, I prefer installed apps for some such as ms office at work,

I have anxiety about being on camera, it’s like a public speaking skill set. There’s also environmental concerns (can they see the underwear on the floor?) that can creep in to distract away from what is important (not my face!). Video of

To draw a parallel: message boards are 99% observation and 1% participation. There’s no need to goad your fellow HN readers.

On the flipside Google maps gives me all kinds of local business number to services that either do not exist or are definitely not local. Pairs nicely with street view images of destructed empty space overgrown with brush.

I know I personally advised friends and colleagues to dump hard somewhere around Feb 22nd, as the spread appeared to be unstoppable. I’ve played pandemic board game, am familiar with the infect cities phase of play. Further, if we held our

Perfectly reasonable given the office space and campus perks to stuff all the time wasting meetings into the 3 days of lowered productivity meatspace time, and crunch real work out on Wed/Fri. I’m hoping my organization does the same h

It’s not immediately clear why the update system is like this but agreed with author that it totally sucks. There’s an OS update waiting on me to install, stating it contains only a fix for the Mac mini m1, which I do not have. It would be

When the message board begins to organize an effort to occupy the Whitehouse by force, to raise the flags of Trumpistan, therefore deleting all freedom of speech and the almighty dollar in favor of trumpcoin, it might be valid to shut em do

There’s a lot going on in that complaint. This US based employee approved the app in the Chinese App Store, and it was not the first screw up they had made. I’m sympathic to a lousy job experience at any employer. While it sounds more like

Happy to see this brought up. I consider myself to be a bit security minded and was astounded by the trash heap of similarly titled packages available while configuring a new install of pycharm. There is a serious glut of packages with name

Facebook gets zero sympathy from me. I don’t care how they gag unscrupulous and invasive ad tech. Apple can trash FB dev keys too, and the world would be a better place.
