Those petitions aren't really worth anything - governments have ignored ones with over six million signatures before. And they also ignored this one a few years back that had just under 700,000 signatures to "make verified ID a re

And also an exception for reporting security-related issues. Because if you try and charge people money to responsibly report security vulnerabilities, then they'll just end up taking the full disclosure approach, which is probably not

A lot of companies seem to have based their business model on the assumption that Google and Microsoft would continue to send them traffic for free indefinitely. So now they're having to scramble to rethink their approach, and obviousl

Plus the fact that you only have to give your credit card details to one large company that (hopefully) has some security professionals working for it, rather than dozens of smaller ones and hoping that none of them lose it/get comprom

The BuyItForLife subreddit is a good source for products that are high quality, repairable, and built to last. It's not exclusively aimed at non-smart stuff, but there tends to be a pretty strong overlap between the two - so it might b

Sounds a bit like the old Problem Steps Recorder (PSR) tool in Windows. It was a little known tool that recorded keystrokes/clicks/screenshots, which was great for troubleshooting. Sadly, the screenshots were all lossy jpegs, and

Well yeah, that's what a NAS is. What you're talking about is just self-hosting a all-in-one server, like people used do with Windows Small Business Server, and all the problems and limitations that comes with. And plenty of small

That just encourages bad behaviour in the other direction though. A massive multi-level nested ternary on one line is usually going to be worse than a longer but clearer set of conditions. Trying to make code brief can be good, but it can

I always found it interesting that the older crates (or at least, some of them) sold for so much. I'm sure it's not unique, but the idea of selling the lootboxes themselves to other players doesn't seem like such a common thi

TF2 had lootboxes ("crates") back in 2010, a couple of years before CS:GO was released - I think this was Valve's first major foray into them. And it was really easy to trade the items, or buy/sell them on the Steam mark

The main issue was explaining to the layman that TLSv1.0 was in fact newer and better than SSLv2 and SSLv3. I remember having quite a few discussions about this with people who assumed that the bigger number must be better..

Are you continuing to pay for them, or has this increase in adverts prompted you to walk away?

Absolutely, I have a e-ink reader and I love it. But if you stick it next to a tablet half its price, it looks outdated and overpriced by comparison, because things like the benefits of e-ink and the build quality meaning it lasts years are

That's just from a quick look at Amazon - I'm sure you could find something cheaper and with better specs with a bit of effort. And yeah, it's probably a bit crap. And there's good odds that it'll be dead or broken

I had the same issue with my Kobo, which I've had for about 8 years. I was looking at the replacements, but they're quite a lot of money for...what? Slightly faster page turns? A screen that might look a little bit better? So I ju

I think it's mostly down to how cheap tablets and phones are. The cheapest Kindle on Amazon's site seems to be $130, which doesn't sound that expensive on its own. There's also a version full of adverts for about $20 les

A surprising number of sites still support RSS even though they don't have an icon or a link to the feed in the UI - so it's worth checking the page source to see if there's a feed URL. It's one of the big things I'

Why do they have to follow Chrome and Edge in hiding parts of the URL? I want the URL bar to show me the exact URL of the page I'm on, not a redaxcted version or the history of how I got to this page, which seems like the opposite of

I'm sure you can find plenty of example of both. But TBH, I don't think it really matters which side you try and point the finger at after decades of decline - the point is that the employee/employer relationship has fundamen

This used to be addressed by the fact that people were loyal to companies - so it was in the company's interest to spend years training them up investing in them, with the knowledge that they might get decades of productive work out of

Even if you are thinking long term though, it's a big risk investing in training up a junior, because the culture of have a "job for life" that previous generations had is pretty much gone. People nowadys are much more likely

The key thing that I feel often gets overlooked in these discussions is that those offshore people are using AI tools as well. It's not "AI or offshoring", it's "offshoring to AI". Because those offshore worker

So you think that active investors would shift much more towards trying to make money from dividends, rather than from speculation on the future share price?
