I have a Pixel 4a and everything opens instantly, or at least the delay is imperceptible. I'm sensitive to latency (and have a 360hz monitor for games), but phones have been fast enough for a long time - for at least everything I perso

Cool idea. Since you asked for feedback, I found it really hard to discern the different piece colours, especially when there are white pieces on dark squares and dark pieces on white squares. The contrast ratio for these looks to be around

Chrome can supposedly support 32779 characters in the address bar[0], and a legal chess game should not exceed more than ~5900 moves, due to the 50 move rule. That will be enough to encode any valid game if you don't need to support IE

Yeah standard E-Bikes (without a registration/license plate) are limited to 25km/h here, even with the electronic assist the car is going faster.

Maybe I bought some wine I didn't like at the supermarket, but I don't believe there is any advertising for any of these wines. When buying something, I wouldn't use some source or community that I'm not previously aware

People keep all phones for a really long time. I've never had a phone that I didn't use for 5 years, nor one that ever cost more than $350.

You don't necessarily need competition either. Switzerland's state owned telecoms provider provides 25gbit symmetrical fibre to practically all homes in all cities and it is very affordable.

Phone thieves will watch over peoples shoulders for them to input a passcode, which isn't that dissimilar to a lot of the replay/signal extension attacks. A lot of damage can be done and things successfully owned without needing t

WebAuthn is an open standard and is available on all platforms and devices. There's not much reason to mention iOS, Apple's implementation of the standard is nothing unique.

Don't many phone providers sell locked/branded phones that can only be used with their physical sims? This locking down has always existed, long before smartphones, and it's the reason I only buy phones direct from manufactur

Right. The same company that said "You're holding it wrong" when there was a design defect causing calls to drop out. The same company that shipped a broken keyboard and refused to repair units until losing the ensuing court

Eh, Cherry switches are great. I had lubed Holy Pandas and sold them to switch back to MX browns. Genuinely a much better switch for mixed usage scenarios. I can't help but be suspicious when people are against Cherry switches, becaus

Even if I watch the ad nobody is making any money from it. I'm just saving their bandwidth. But even with the latest 'crackdown', I haven't seen a single advert or nag screen so I guess the crackdown isn't very effe

I live in a 30kmph zone in Switzerland and it works fine. I'm not sure what the problem is. It's a really common speed limit in Europe/UK and is suitable for residential city streets. On Geoguesser I have seen similar US stre

Well if they copy Twitch I suspect it will be circumvented very quickly. My adblock works just fine for Twitch, I do not see any adverts (unless I open using incognito).
