No evidence, just imagination. Reading the article was my first time learning about these people, so I'm unlikely to contribute anything new to the discourse that hasn't already been debated and scrutinised ad infinitum. I did fin

I commented elsewhere in this thread theorising that Satoshi could be the work of both Finney and Back. If that has any basis in reality, then it stands to reason that perhaps the wallet is locked away in a trust or at least legally unobtai

(part or all of) Your aside suggests you might already have considered what I'm about propose, but why not Finney and Back both as Satoshi? The reporting already establishes all three parties (Satoshi being the third) were fami

It was only a few years ago that they offered all of their Stadia subscribers a full refund for every dollar they ever spent on the platform. By this point their reputation for customer service was well and truly known, but colour me surpri

https://www.cstrike.co.nz I rescued the domain after it was left to expire and did my best to honour the original design from 2000.

Anyone know if this new windowed Tailscale view is enabled on the non-App Store version? I guess I'll find out soon enough once I update, but I didn't see any specific callout in the article.

I don't know I'm sorry. I'm not involved in the project, just a curious bystander!

I started playing World of Warcraft at the same time I was studying database systems at university and had a similar curiosity. Twenty years later the AzerothCore project pretty much satisfies this curiosity, they've done an incredible

Not to sound like a broken record, but I need to echo what many other replies have already said: great article. Embarassingly, despite thinking of myself as pretty knowledgeable with SQL, I had no idea you could nest DML statements inside

Nice trick. Just a heads up that I had to whitelist your domain as NextDNS blocked it for being newly registered. Given this thread will probably attract other Unifi users... has anyone had success migrating from MongoDB to something like F

You're very conscientious, thank you (providing a separate link for UK readers). I hate that it's come to this.

I gifted a Brick Hammer[1] to my brother-in-law for Christmas. It's an amazing little device, form factor of a Gameboy Pocket and can run games from the PS1/N64 down to NES. The build quality is extremely high too (I got him the m

I'm putting a lot of weight on this part from the README: > If you're paying for 4K but using Chrome, Firefox, or a setup Netflix doesn't "approve," you're stuck at 1080p or lower. This extension fixes t

You misread the README. Although it suggests using Edge at the very bottom, the extension doesn't require it and actually spoofs Netflix into thinking it is Edge via changing the user-agent.

There would've been an RFP for this, surely? Which means PwC was chosen to deliver this ahead of n number of other tenderers. I'd be curious to see what other proposals there were and the decision-making that went into choosing th

As someone who just set up mitmproxy to do something very similar, I wish this would've been a plugin/add-on instead of a standalone thing. I know and trust mitmproxy. I'm warier and less likely to use a new, unknown tool tha

You can really feel the stress in Adam's comments. It must play absolute hell with your mental health, it's anxiogenic from the sidelines just thinking about it. Stay healthy and safe mate.

Sounds like Android's share button is exactly as ambiguous as the one on macOS/iOS... A dumping ground for all the misfit utilities and functions that couldn't find a home anywhere else on the system.

It's very hard to reply without making a snarky sarcastic comment at Apple's expense. Thanks for sharing that super intuitive interface trick, it's so obvious now I know it's there. (seriously though, thanks).

500+ comments and no one's mentioned the jack of all trades "share" button? I would really love to see the internal metrics around how many users press share because they're actually sharing something versus wanting to

Interesting. I'm currently looking to migrate from Hugo to Zola. Personally I feel like I grok the configuration and templating options for Zola better than I do for Hugo.

I'm glad I came back to this on desktop, I initially tried visiting the site on mobile and of course nothing loaded, so I dismissed it and moved on. Seeing now what the site is actually about, holy shit it's impressive. FYI I sa
