Are these people entrepreneurs? What risks did they take. I wager almost none, they were fine whatever happened.

Is it? Even as someone in tech, that's more than I have spent on smart phones in over 10 years.

I used a PiHole for a while but after a corrupted SD card I said screw it and started using NextDNS. I have very few subscriptions, in fact nothing else except Spotify, but this one was worth the time saved and hasn't required any main

This is likely a regional thing. I assure you this is not the attitude in the Netherlands and other central European countries. Legally speaking it is also completely incorrect here. But different regions will have different laws and publi

It is our duty to yield for more vulnerable road users, since they are naturally more at risk. If a cyclist hits a pedestrian, they have failed in that duty. If a car driver hits a cyclist, they too have failed.

In Switzerland those cameras are illegal, since there is a right to privacy for all persons. Security cameras can exist on private land or where the need is deemed to be absolutely necessary (eg, high security or high value areas where it i

None of those services had even a fraction of the market penetration that WhatsApp has (in Europe and basically most places that are not North America.) WhatsApp is used by teenagers, great-grandparents, businesses, everyone. When you give

There is no feature Twitter/X could bring to chat that would take users away from WhatsApp. It already covers 100% of it's users needs, is free, and has near complete market penetration in many regions. (If you are talking to anyo

Yep, also comms/marketing people. I once had to explain to someone that nobody outside of Twitter has ever cared about anything that has ever happened on Twitter. It is a pure bubble of unimportant drivel. The only people who would eve

What's the point of any new phone, really. You just pick a new one when the old one breaks (or the battery dies). People aren't just sitting around looking for new phones to buy.

We do see this in Switzerland, Finland, etc. But this is due to a competent Department of Education, which simply doesn't exist in the UK. Infact the UK DoE isn't even just incompetent - it is quite clearly maliciously sabotaging

You can't just take open back headphones and close them up, it will sound terrible. And conversely you can't open up a pair of closed headphones without the same problem. If you could make a headphone that can do both and sound ac

Sleep uses almost 0 power and works flawlessly. I'm never going to waste my time, however short, waiting for a machine to boot.

The biggest problem is that buying is simply the only option, because renter protections are poor and the government constantly shovels taxpayer money into the pockets of homeowners. And so house prices are artificially inflated with help t

Even with that 5 year lead, I would rather buy an EV from any other "mainstream" automaker. The build quality even on a 2023 manufactured Tesla is just insulting. If I buy a BMW I'm also being ripped off but at least the door

You can also just go online and read the recipes for free, which is quite nice. I moved to a country without HelloFresh but sometimes take a browse through their recipes and buy ingredients in person, when wanting to try something new (but

You didn't specify a speed, so I'm curious how fast are your suburban back roads? I've seen signs from the US that show 40mph speed limits on purely residential back streets which is already faster than I can drive on literal

Yeah. London is great when young and going out to do things all the time, sucks later on though. In London I definitely felt like I was living paycheck to paycheck, but moving to a European city with better services (but probably less cultu

I don't have a LinkedIn, and it doesn't let me view a profile without an account, which forces me to pass on applications that don't have a CV attached.

The new and rearchitected Steam client (currently in public beta) is an improvement over the old client for me. It feels like a pretty good evolution, bringing performance and new features. It's pretty clear they have spent a lot of ti

> Which was almost certainly on Apple's timeline anyway, though we'll never know for sure. They released USB-C macbooks in 2015, 8 years ago. Clearly they had no intention of moving to USB-C on iPhones, prior to the EU ruling.

I think the lack of success of iMessage in the rest of the world is the only reason Apple has been able to maintain iMessage as a closed one platform chat protocol. Nobody uses iMessage or SMS in the EU these days, but if usage was like in

Are you suggesting people unlock their phone with a randomly generated 24 character string they have to read from their password manager?

Hypothetically speaking, if you're not a UK resident: Surely you can keep the password on a separate device in another country, and if asked for it, say that you do have know how to get the password, but you can't physically acces
