Supporting OEMs is definitely the right choice. I even shifted a project away from the pi for now because of the shortage, and there are alternatives, but if I had already invested in product that depended on them and couldn’t order them, i

Interoperability would go a long way, but if they're still expected to hold moderation privileges on their platform, they could just as easily block communications from a user who is using a non-Facebook federated system. If Facebook b

No matter how good your security is, a rogue employee with high-level access will always be a threat. Since they now have experience with this situation, I trust that Ubiquiti has dedicated more resources to preventing both employee sabotag

It’s true that most people will likely stick to the most popular websites, but how likely are they to use Tor, especially self-configured outside the Tor browser? I’d bet the people who would do that are much more likely to spend more time

If I told you I don’t listen to the Billboard top 100 songs, would you say “nonsense, you don’t listen to music?” I also prefer w3m and find most of the web much better as text only, switching over to another browser when I want video or so

I think the most important point is that addressing inequality in this way feeds into the lie that exploitation is zero sum and those who benefited from it must now sacrifice to balance the scales. In truth, inequality makes everyone poorer

I think blockchains still have a lot of value, not as currencies or assets, but as decentralized databases for supply chain tracking. We clearly have a lot of issues with our existing global supply chain, especially tracking the origin of e

Contemplation is one use of our brains. It usually means focusing on an idea. Meditation can mean many different things, but in the mindfulness sense, it usually means engaging in awareness and observing metacognition instead of cognition.

I have noticed a cultural difference between different generations of social networks. With Facebook, people usually sought out people and groups that they wanted to connect with and complained about being algorithmically profiled for ads b

You might be on to something there! Think of all the heat generated by executing all that inefficient code! I’ll rephrase as well. Problems like inequality or robbery have a tendency to adapt to whatever circumstances we create for them.

Has it though? If piracy is the act of invading someone’s private space where they can be isolated them from help and taking from them, is ransomware just modern piracy with less violence? Of course the sea pirates are still very active on

I think this can actually be a good tactic. If someone thinks of something like games as entirely good or bad, they will never understand the argument. Many people love alcohol but know it’s bad for them. Many people love games but know tha

This seems pretty simple to correct, so I'm skeptical that nobody has done so yet in these experiments. If true, it's an equally interesting oversight as the Monty Hall problem. The basic premise is that the structure of an experi

There's an order of importance to teachings, and this one falls somewhere below letting go of attachments to rules. Buddhism teaches the importance of avoiding getting caught up with either opinions or rituals for their own sake. Any p

I'm referring to a series of cultural criticisms that began around the 16th century and have continued into the present day. Some were by people who only encountered Europeans in America. Others traveled to Europe to debate and discuss

Both in this article and other comments here, people mention Safari being a factor. It sounds like this is likely related to the browser. I noticed that you're using Chrome. I use a variety of browsers but rarely Safari, and I don&#x27

I wonder if that 13% of units might actually account for 75% of mobile computing power. Apple’s budget iPhone SE has over 41% higher single core performance than Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S21. And the vast majority of Android sales worldwid

For a great low-commitment experiment with minimalistic Linix, I'd recommend setting up PRoot with Termux on Android and then adding Arch repositories. You can treat it like a replacement for a mobile game and slowly build up your perf

I'm curious about your concerns about a Nest/Ring doorbell. Since it would presumably face a public space, if there was a privacy concern, it would seem easier for a third party to set up their own camera for surveillance. If I wa
