I set up a dedicated checking account for Privacy.com, and linked it via routing and account number. I transfer money to the account I approximately equal to what I use with their service. This way, a store gets a one-use card I can easily

Presumably it has a speaker some place? Could you cut the wire to it?

It's a reasonably nice client, and available on every platform. It has easy integrations with basically everything, and non-developers can set them up on their own. It has bouncer functionality built in - You don't miss messages.

Good point. I always learned to read it as the longest hand being the seconds, but your way works too. Thanks!

What's your objection? It has 12 evenly distributed lines, which are commonly used to represent the numbers on an analog clock. It has an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand. The only thing I can see that seems even a little of

Personally, I think this is very silly. Firefox has a stronger brand than Mozilla, so they're calling these all "Firefox XX".. But Firefox doesn't have a brand as a generic set of utilities, it has a brand as a web brows

Under that interpretation, I'm curious what you view as different than IBM vs Compaq about the original PC bios?

Right - They tried dropping legacy compatibility before, and people are still upset 10+ years later. For something as essential as strings, it makes sense to recommend the "new" way, and continue to support the "old" way

I've seen other people recommend the Social Book Post Manager extension [1] in the past. One of the nice things is you have more granularity in what you remove - You can leave things that mention certain words, or in a date range, etc.

Their Github (github.com/microg) shows activity over the last month. What gives you the impression it's dead?

I'm curious how well this went - The microG site says that some OSS apps are requiring Google libraries. Have you run into a problem here?

If Apple are considering moving to their own CPUs, I can only imagine mitigations like this are going to weigh heavily.

You realize you sound pretty far out-of-mainstream when you say things like that, right?

This doesn't say "vegan" burgers, it says meatless. It doesn't sound like this incorrect, is it?

No one is arguing about if it breaches copyright. They're arguing about if a) if it ought to be a breach of copyright, and b) if Nintendo ought to be taking this down.

Regardless of any technical merit or reasoning, one big advantage is that Javascript/WASM is not controlled by any one large company or organization. This provides substantial differentiation from .Net/Java/Flash/etc. Th

The inclusion of ray tracing hardware is interesting to me, and sounds like good news to Nvidia, who has been pushing ray tracing as part of their RTX cards. Even though this uses a custom GPU, if consoles don't support ray tracing, PC

I haven't used it, but I've considered it for reliability when traveling. I could setup two cellular devices and have my laptop swap between them when each has signal.

Agreed, but it's still better for most people than having things shared with everyone. This seems like the sort of app one might use to prevent James Gunn style problems from old content.

This looks really nice - There are browser extensions to do a lot of these things, but those don't work on iPhone, so having a native app is a nice touch. I also appreciate that they know they're selling to a privacy-conscious aud

I think they give you 500 words of free proofreading as a sort of sampler, then sell proof-reading services beyond that. For example, I have a 24k word document I'd love to get proofread. It would cost $480.

It makes some short-term sense. It seems like they're focusing on the enterprise element of their business, which is what's making more money, has fewer players to work with, etc. I'd imagine they see their future closer to H

Fair enough - I think understand their model, but I don't really agree with it :) I don't think my car needs internet access, or anyone needs the ability to check in on it. Unless there's a safety recall, I'd personally

Agreed. There's a lot to like about the cars, but they're very invasive. Luckily you can get a service manual in Massachusetts (or at least electronic access) If I were to buy one my first move would be to remove the modem and WiF
