This has been going on for years, but growth in low-income countries has compensated for the midle-class shrinking in higher-income countries. Until now, that is. As for seriousness, this is bad. Many peoples are seeing their dreams crushed

It was a slippery slope. I'd like to claim that if parents spent less time staring at a screen in front of their children, there would also be less children staring at mind-numbing content online. The fact is, however, that many simply

Politicians in Europe expects the market to take care of it. Businesses won't hurt their profit margins unless they have to (because IPv6 does mean additional costs). We need something that increases consumer demand for IPv6 if we want

While there's always demand for more bandwidth, IPv6 isn't really something that people care about in the larger scheme of things. Many ISP's and carriers solved the IPv4 congestion issue with CGNAT and that'll keep thin

You? You should. Random consumers on the other hand, are usually not capable enough to set up port forwarding, or manage a network. UPnP might not be the right solution, but there is a clear and definite usability issue when it comes to net

Alas, many ISP's don't offer it yet. Give it a few decades more and we might get that.

Calmira was amazing! It, along with Win32s and the 16-bit version of Internet Explorer, brought a lot of second-hand 386's with 4 Mb RAM into the modern world, by providing working Internet access and32-bit app support and a modern UI.

Undoubtedly a better deal for many, but that doesn't mean the actual costs for a patch for a popular app can't amount to $40k or more.

Fair enough. Not trying to make this a debate about CP2077 - I'm just pointing out that game bugs can have massive consequences for the platform owner and not just the game developer/publisher and that handling such consequences c

That just means it wasn't properly tested and that CDPR just said it was. :) My point is that such debacles are going to be costly, not just for the developer, but for the platform owner as well.

Was that ever in doubt? The median age of those who die from actual old age has been fairly constant for a very long time. It's just that we're less likely to get eaten by predators or to die from wounds or disease when compared t

Some learn. Others remain assholes. A few have really serious issues and try to deal with them. With time, most people simply move on, with the bullied party often being the notable exception.

I didn't even know you could still get ADSL here to be honest. Telia simply removed the landline cables out here (rural Satakunta) and there's nothing available but 4G and fiber. Countryside 4G has improved much the last few years

Well, on the field behind it anyway. And it's more of a yard than a backyard. Language differences and all that.

Oh, definitely. As a blogging engine it's quite usable and very easy to get used to even for people who are IT-illiterate. I'm not convinced it's the best for building e-commerce sites and whatever people are piggy-backing on

That's ridiculously bad! I'm deep in the Finnish country-side and I get 48 down/19 up with a crappy USB 4G modem shared over an access point running on a Rpi4's built-in WiFi chip, in the other side or the house. And we

I'd be surprised if he doesn't have enough money converted to cash already. But sure, if he touches those wallets now, he will possibly leave a paper trail. Let's hope, for the victims' sake, that he does.

No it's like planning fallout shelters just in case the balance of terror doesn't hold, and we end up with world leaders pushing buttons that are best left untouched. It's just that actually building them could cause irrevers

This is intended as a plan B in case we fail to reduce emissions, and we set off the Clathrate Gun or one of the other nightmare scenarios. But yes, It sure does sound like dystopian sci-fi, doesn't it?

I suspect they won't catch him. Building a new identity isn't really that hard, especially since the guy has had some time to do it, and (I assume) money to pay for it.

According to the FAO, no: http://www.fao.org/faostat/ I'm sure grape production would work in southern Sweden, but I assume it'd be restricted to the summer months. :D

Ditto in Finland. Just like in Denmark, the social security number is being used for authentication by some actors, even though it's inherently insecure to do so. The Swedish way of handling those numbers seems more reasonable; they&#x

"1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed" is an excellent book on the subject, and yes - there are definitely uncanny similarities between the Bronze Age world and the one we live in.

In general, call centres are doing it wrong. I'm sure there are some exceptions, but I've never seen a call centre that isn't toxic and hostile towards their employees.

I was dumb enough to check, and there's plenty of conspiracy theories around this, the more common ones apparently being about this leading to "The Great Reset". None seem to deny the fact that the ship is stuck though; they

Because you still need to use the canal afterwards. And you need to convince the crews of the ships that the radiation won't be a problem. And the authorities of the ports they go to. And so on.
