As soon as I saw Troy's post about this in my news feed, I thought I'd buy it immediately, but $39 is a lot for this sort of thing. I've bought similar books from tech bloggers and they've been closer to $15.

That model doesn't work because it relies on you having data available to set up that interaction with the local carrier. With a physical SIM you can insert it into your device, even if there's no connectivity available to you. Th

It does have a big downside - some departments like Highways England and Land Registry had their own, more sophisticated sites. The new standardised GOV.UK sites are missing features and content. There's a sense of dumbing down to fit

This is extremely popular in the UK - all of the major supermarkets offer it. Some of them also let you use your own smartphone to do the scanning. It became more popular in the pandemic, as only interacting with your own device reduces the

I don't get the fuss. There are already thousands of YouTube channels (and many existing TV shows) where people submit videos of everyday things. I don't see why Amazon getting involved makes it bad.

The McPlant sold in the UK is fantastic: https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/product/vegan-mcplant.htm... It uses a Beyond Meat patty, and a bespoke non-dairy cheese slice. Unlike the trial in the US, this pro

That's how a lot of games work (and have done for decades). You buy the game once, then get access to online multiplayer servers. Subscription models encourage constant needless changes to the product.

Because it's impractical in a lot of cases. Most consumers don't want to (or can't) deal with managing encryption keys, and aren't going to be keen on the idea that if you lose the key, you lose the data permanently.

Ring does offer end-to-end encryption, but it breaks various features. You can see a list of what it breaks on their website: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360054941511-Unde... Many of these feat

I don't know a lot about the business, but Zapp says its delivery people are employees. If a supermarket can be profitable while it employs people to stack the shelves, man the checkouts etc., why can't you just move those people

I'm not sure what actual security risk you're talking about here. I click the magic link, expecting it to sign me in, but instead it takes me to a fake copy of the website which then asks (again) for login details?

The job roles involved (security staff, baggage handlers, cabin crew) often have poor pay and undesirable working arrangements (e.g. unsociable hours). The current high level of employment means people are able to choose to not do that kind
