NRK, the national broadcaster in Norway, let you watch geo-licensed content anywhere in Europe if you are logged in and authenticated with BankId [1][2]. Which is very handy, as before I had to go via VPN which was ok but more of a faff. *

I don't see the point of the F-keys returning. If no touchbar then just use layers on top of the numerals, like other laptops and programmable keyboards.

If in Gnome, fractional scaling is possible but not enabled by default. I use 125% and it has been fine. I did it via Gnome-tweak, or you can manually enable it [1]. [1] https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/04/how-to

You still have access to your phone number? So not been sim-swapped hacked? I guess we will find out (I hope) how it happened. But surely there should be some automatic red flags with Twitter if an account changes name, email and starts spa

In one of my first jobs I deleted the last 30 days of our production data. Shit happens. You learn and try to never repeat it. And share with others so hopefully they learn. Ps. Don't do knee-jerk late at night quick patches. For examp

Yes, but at least for macOS f.lux has more features so for me it is still the clear preferred option.

This is where Brave had a good idea with their micropayments to content providers [1], based on the sites you visited. You may not agree with their execution, and I don't think it will ever work, but I wish it did. * [1] https:/&

How does this compare to a blue light adjuster like the built in macOS one or f.lux [1]? I think they would complement each other. Anyone tried both? (Lunar and f.lux) * [1] https://justgetflux.com/

I also blogged a fortnight ago about the same degoogling process. https://blog.flurdy.com/2020/08/degoogling.html My problem as I mention is that I am at the same time regoogling...

Some time there was a similar tool that locked the computer via bluetooth if you walked away from the desk with your phone. It didn't unlock it which is fine, but it seems a better way to lock a computer if you forget rather than a tim

Good monitor mounts to maximise desk space. I use Ergotron LX HD which can handle heavier screens. Mine is the taller sit-stand version, with the additional handle that sits between the VESA mounts so that I don't pull on the actual sc

Most countries/cities I have seen where free single-use plastic bags are banned people bring their own bags, as the "reusable" are too costly over time to use only once all the time.

Just making something public is not enough though. The UK made their app public https://github.com/nhsx/COVID-19-app-iOS-BETA But app only, none of the server-side projects. Germany and Italy https://github.
