That's sarcasm isn't it? Your TV tracks you more than anything. Assuming it is a connected one.

Ahem. That's just Facebook Analytics. Yes, it should be mentioned in the privacy policy, especially if they operate in countries under the GDPR (they do). But having a go at Zoom on this ground is unfair, given many developers do the e

> Text expand to symbols that I always forget, eg. euro symbol, hash sign etc Yes! That's a big time saver on my end to. I was also using it to insert emojis, but the new `Windows+.` shortcut is actually useful for that.

This is a very sad news for the city of Barcelona and for everyone involved in organizing or exhibiting. But that was the right choice. I'm wondering what's next to be cancelled.

.io is probably the worst choice you could go with if what you're looking for is long term stability. This tld is problematic and really, should not be used. https://gigaom.com/2014/06/30/the-dark-side-of

Do they know that this tentative move highlighted how the entire conneced device market is a bad deal for customers? Detractors of connected devices often tout how useless these are when the internet is temporarily down, but the biggest thr

I wonder what the tipping point will be? At what point Google Search revenue will have peaked, pushing Google to accelerate the pace of experiments and new solutions to make more out of fewer users. Like many around here, I have (re)started

It feels that whenever it can, Amazon will hide behind its lack of control over its 3rd party vendors when something fishy is happening. To my knowledge selling counterfeit goods in the U.S. is illegal, yet this is a widespread issue on Ama

Completely agree. What you describe, is fair. There is a law. They must comply. What I had in mind is that countries will come up with unfair actions against Amazon. By unfair I mean that with regards to the actual action, not the general s

Will happen to Amazon what has happened to the other big techs assuming U.S. laws / principles could just be applied world-wide without taking local laws / principles into account. Amazon is getting under the scrutiny it deserves,

When I read your comment, the main thing that came to my mind to explain my point about Brave was their Shield and Rewards features. That's what's top of mind for me. I checked my Firefox window and realized that they have a Shiel

This is great, but it's a bit like an endangered animal giving birth in a zoo. Has anyone seen a collision happening in the wild? What's the likelihood? Vs UUID?

OK for 'us'. But what about my mum and dad? What's the reason for them to use Firefox over Chrome? They don't care about the web being destroyed by Google and Apple. They care about... a smooth experience, I guess? They

I did that about a month ago, after more than 10 years with Chrome only. So far so good, apart from battery usage on Android. I sometimes feel it spirals when too many tabs are left open. Desktop, no problem. I have kept Chrome for my work

Before having a phone I was reading a lot of books. Now, I read HN too much. Is it better, is it worse? Certainly not bad, if, the addictive, time wasting aspects are muted / avoided. I think not using a smartphone in 2020 is actually

OK. I switched TV two months ago. I considered purchasing the biggest PC monitor and work it from there but the size threw me off. Ended up buying an LG TV because it seemed that WebOS was the best choice when it comes to performance. I use

Some non-time off tips that work for me: - Remove most, if not all notifications from your phone. Not just work-related, anything that will stimulate your brain for no good reason - Try to leave work on time to allow other activities after.

I can't agree more, but the choice in dumb TVs is limited. In the end the best option seems to be a video projector, but I really dislike the image quality v.s. a panel. Any recommendations?

A few cool things (not necessarily exclusive to Citymapper). - Saving favorite places to get directions faster - Relying on their indications to use the best tube carriage and best exit for fastest exit / interchange (can save minutes!
