The day apple, microsoft or google would manage updates of a whole system as well as some linux distribution would actually be the end of many user nightmares. Unless you don't install any app, you still trust all the developers of the

I have a Sony Android TV from the 2015 generation. It always had a row to advertise random app I don't use (Netflix, Playstation Video, Disney something etc...) It also always advertise content from those platform, you have to disable

Totally agree. I'm not sure I would use ebooks if Calibre wasn't there. Sure, some things could be improved like any app, but it does the job really well. Maintaining such a big app is no small feat.

The answer is clearly yes. Being able to convert apartments to short term rentals for tourists while bypassing the whole legislation in place does reduce housing availability. For example, you are supposed to build an apartment equivalent t

I definitely dislike what computers have become. The explosion of home computers followed by the Internet was based on standards and compatibility. If companies would have needed the approval of IBM to distribute an app on an IBM PC or even

Road safety statistics goes totally against your statement. There's a clear corelation between speed and accidents. You can claim that the person who are dangerous are the one driving slowly to stay in control, but the reality is that

The truth is that 50km/h is already way to fast in a city. A good driver who actually takes into account everything that can happen in a city would never drive at 50 km/h as it is already way to fast to keep pedestrian safe, at le

There was an experimental network in France before the Transpaq network of the minitel that was designed for inter-connectivity. It strongly inspired TCP/IP which is, in my opinion, what actually created the Internet of today (having a

I do think that in term of accessibility and ease of use for some remote services the minitel was quite better than the web is. I worked for a company that ran a service until the very end of the network. This service was used to track mand

I can't disagree more with the author of the post for the bad part. I manage quite a few things with letsencrypt, some having been set years ago. Each time I needed to take action I received an email from letsencrypt. I think they actu

I don't think that's what the author says. There's been some changes in the past to the acme protocol requiring to update whatever client you use.

No a lot of the current mess is due to US imperialism and bullying, the same way it had been messed up by British, French and Spanish imperialism before. And this based on USD being at the core of finance. US protection is not needed other

We really think differently then :D I definitely don't think about fractions but adapt the unit to my needs. I use fractions to get to what i need, but the same way i would add, multiply and substract. I don't relate at all to th

I'm even further from getting it now. 240cm being a multiple of 12, it can be divided by 2,3,4,6 without precision loss. Also this logic around inches only works if you happen to need to divide 1 inch. It doesn't work anymore if y

I never had issues with cm/mm honestly. And half a milimeter is always a precision hard to reach with home hand tools, so the need to have 0.33 milimeters on a ruler is not there. Tools that reach that precision are in micrometers.

But then everything has to be based on those fractions, instead of just using the lower unit directly. I guess it's just a different approach.

Sorry but i fail to see how it's handy. To stay with thr egg pack unit, it's much easier to say i want 7 eggs rather than a 0.58 of pack (not even sure it's right in egg/inches). Even this i find it much more convenient

Without the time to properly test the vaccine, you're as much in the unknown as with COVID-19. Maybe even more. This is really high risk that can backfire a lot. If the vaccine is ineffective, or worse, cause health issues, how would y

I'm a metric system person too, leaving with an us imperial system person. I think that the mental model is different. Metric is made to switch units easily, you need precision, just move the comma to get it. The imperial system is use

I've seen this example of egg dozens everywhere but i don't get it, egg dozens aren't related to inches. It's just a random number of eggs that happens to be common in packing. Let's say there's any practical r
