Why not demand that there are no children working in the mines before buying the cobalt? Better throw good ecological standards and worker protections in there, too. A supply chain is not a black box nobody can look into, even if quite a lo

22 at average western height is a perfectly healthy weight. A typical male weighing 70kg at a height of 1.80m has basically no excessive fat and a BMI of 21.6. What BMI needs is a more refined scale for different kinds of humans.

> Now it's in a very awkward phase again. Only because we allowed a single browser engine to become a quasi-monopoly again . Google doesn't need to adhere to addon standards, Google sets them.

GP made a joke ;) Millennials and GenZ have been getting told this "once in a lifetime" story for years now. It's the same with all these natural disasters that apparently only happen once in a century every few years.

This doesn't help. You still need people to configure the group policies and firewalls. You will also need a local installation on various PCs running on-prem to connect a lot of hardware. You might get away with Azure AD instead of a

Are there even Android phones out there with USB 3.0 or higher over USB-C? My current gen phone also only support USB 2.0 and it's ridiculously slow to get data off of it. I usually put in an SD card, copy all data over and put the SD

You can download the official .NET debugger but its license only permits you to use it with VS and VSCode. Luckily, there are various third-party debuggers available. E.g. from Samsung (MIT licensed) and Jetbrains (proprietary for their IDE

The desktop app is crap. I dare you to scroll up in a chat with links, images, or gifs. It's so yanky, it's impossible to find anything. Or search for a message you know is in a specific context. You will not be able to open the m

It does not stop at arguing. Any online chat will also be pointless. It is already bad on the likes of Tinder if reports from forums around the web are correct. Chats bots are trying to bait men into sending money or subscribing to social m

It doesn't need to be explicitly funded, different licencing costs can be enough. It could be cheaper for Netflix to show their own productions than pay for a stream of licensed content. You can disable autoplay previews for all device

Stop wasting time with VSCode when doing professional development on .NET and use Rider on Linux and Mac. The C# addon for VSCode is lacking so many features compared to VS and Rider that it's mostly a toy. The Rider licensing cost is

You can still auto-scale. Use dedicated servers for your base load and when sudden demand arises, switch to a cloud provider juggling VMs.

In Germany this is known as "Kurzarbeit" (literal translation: short work). The company reduces the work hours of employees and the pay gets cut proportionally. The cut hours will be paid by the state at a rate of 60% (67% for wor
