It only makes sense because of how fragmented the streaming libraries are. With Netflix DVD you can order any movie, regardless of the studio who published it. No need to go to "Disney DVD" to rent a Star Wars movie.

Countries have agreements between them, and Protonmail only complied to French requests when the French government did the right process in a Swiss court. In other words Protonmail had to comply to respect the Swiss law. Not sure what happe

I always park like this because it's much easier. Not just to get out, but to get in. Because your front wheels rotate, not the back wheels, it's much easier to get into proper position when parking backwards especially when you&#

I have already stopped using Amazon for specialized products. I buy board games on sites that only sell board games. I buy electronics/computer parts on sites that only sell that.

The Pespi vs Coke advertisements are not about getting marketshare from each others. It's about establishing a duopoly, tell to consumers "here is your choice" and overshadow all the other alternatives.

Atom is slightly better than RSS, but didn't brought enough improvements to kill RSS.

RSS and Atom are 2 different formats. Your confusion probably comes from the fact that RSS is older, so it's sometimes used as the name of the functionality but it's improper. They're 2 different formats.

I feel like it's a shadow of what it was 20 years ago. So many electronics stores replaced with creepy otaku stores. The electronics market was kind of an alibaba cavern. Well I guess it was bound to happen since now with Internet it&#

Yes, but this title is much more clickbait than just "Google stops developping 2 open source apps".

Yes, we need some in-person contact. But we don't need to do that every week, a few times a year of "get together" for a few days is enough.

Considering how easily you can run Windows games on Linux, it makes the platform even more open.

Because that's how it is in the Silicon Valley, respectable product managers buy iPhones and nerdy developers buy Android.

The junk problem on the Play Store is not that it exists, it's that search sucks. Heck, even the "recommended" or "editor pick" are all junk apps and games. I don't understand how the 90's Google could fal

My understanding is the chip makers, not just Apple but for Android that's Qualcomm, Samsung, etc. Apparently only the chip makers have the necessary info to release the drivers for the latest Linux kernel, unlike your laptop where new

The Internet was first available to the public in 1993. 10 years later, in 2003, it was so ingrained in everyone's life that we could no longer imagine living without it. VR is available to the public since the 90's, it's as
