This also solves nothing. It's up to the ethics of the company how they chose to group "none" "essential" and "all" and what kind of server-side tracking they do anyway.. It's no harder to do the wron

Honestly, the Internet as a decentralized global network of computers suggests otherwise. There really shouldn't be any, or very few, datacenters, people should host their own stuff from their own machines, from their own homes. Unfort

The cookie policy is a stupid value-signalling stunt with only negative real-life effects. The correct way of handling the problem would have been through request headers and browser settings, or simply, use the existing option of either al

Cool! :) I opened an issue on github about it, I'd do a pull request, but I didn't manage to make it build yet :) Super cool project, looking forward got playing with it :)

Honestly, that time where I had HBO, Netflix and Disney+ at the same time, it still didn't feel like I had even 1000s available, getting them listed and sorted by something relevant (like year of release) was a pain, and it seemed like

We're working with gitlab and not a day goes by where I don't miss gerrit with it's fast and functional ui, good and practical diff viewer, patch-sets, topics, review workflow, and manifests... The thing that gitlab does real

This is pretty damn amazing.. Throw on a headset and find a nice walking simulator. It'd be really cool for a lot of people in different situations.

There exists only one correct design of microwave ovens. It has zero ICs. It has exactly two direct user-inputs and one indirect. The two dials select on-time and duty-cycle (cooking time and "power"). The third input is the safet

I thought about that earlier today, I'm pretty sure it does. Worst-case DVD experience: Step 1. Unbox TV and DVD Player Step 2. Plug scart cable from DVD player into TV. Step 3. Connect TV and DVD player to power, insert batteries in r

I feel like I type fast, I don't touch type correctly, but I've had blank keyboards since around 2001 when my teenaged self decided to imitate that scene in Hackers (1994) where he spray paints his keyboard.. I decided on a cool c

I do enjoy reading on dead wood as well, but for my bedtime routine, an ebook reader with an extremely weak backlight or frontlight really is the way for me, because it's slightly more convenient for me not to have to deal with room li

It's fine that it CAN be used online. It's a deal breaker for me if it it (even once) HAVE to be. It's a deal breaker if it artificially limits functionality, for example, by only providing dictionary functionality via an onl

This is my concern as well, it becomes a weapons race towards the most idiot-sized vehicle possible, since a reasonably sized vehicle will put you at a survival disadvantage. I live in Denmark, where this problem is yet very much in its inf

Thank you, I'll have a look at those, they seem better priced than the kobos too.

What a great question! Many interesting movies to check out in these comments! My own list, I re-watch movies the same way I re-listen to music, often to get in a particular mode of thinking, as they become familiar, I mostly daydream while

Wow, that's... Terrible. Sure, they started killing it after Windows XP, but it's kinda still the only place where you can actually access all the settings, and all that weird stuff on top they added in 7 and 10 just makes it impo

play store is a joke, I've had my app "in review" since 2022, it's still in review.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! The worst thing about modern TVs are all their smart shit. I just want a monitor, no speakers, no nothing, just HDMI input and a large, good image, it's what it should do. Sound should come from the stereo s

Funny thing with codine is that it's metabolized into morphine, and this happens at vastly different rates, from "not effective as a treatment" to "somewhat high risk of abuse due to euphoria"

I kind of agree, it's an interesting observation that BASIC is actually pretty close to a simple machine if you think of the line numbers as addresses, goto as jumps and the keywords as instructions. I dipped my toes in BASIC on the C6

"Problem: It is extremely hard to stylize native Win32 controls." No. Don't style them. Let the users settings dictate how your app looks. This is the correct way.

For that to have any actual positive effect, they need to also dictate some specification to be followed, so that you can actually re-use the batteries when they outlast the phones.. (broken phone, new phone and so on)

Well, it either ain't APS-C or it ain't 35mm.. "35mm equiv F2 lens" is by it's very definition, not 35mm. That said, I see they stuffed some AI and gimmick filters in there. It seems like a very uninteresting camera

" also having the overall product present as a “single pane of glass” to end-users" this is unacceptable bullshit language unless you're in the buissness of selling actual glassware.
