From this title I expected author to engrave the lens in a clever way so the noise matters on all photos would form something like his digital signature, but alas

I have an alternative view to offer here, because this to me sounds like you are leaving out a significant part of mobile messenger evolution. Back when Smartphones weren't a thing most phones had JavaME, and the most popular networks

you can never predict how old laws would work with modern systems - for example, in Russia you also have this rule, but after the mass persecution and censorship started the judges ruled that a post on social media, even one made before the

I'm not from the US and I got "free" education where I live, and I still feel like I've lost money. If I've started working 4 years earlier I would've gotten more experience and more money, and surely wouldn&#x

And in the early days the cost of 1 Bitcoin was abysmal. The idea is that the harder it gets to mine the more expensive it becomes.

Boneworks certainly takes the cake as my absolute VR title. It beats even Alyx in terms of gameplay alone. Playtime-wise I spent most hours in Elite Dangerous - flying in an HMD adds so much to the game that its hard to put in words how imm

I was also pleasantly surprised by how well VR works on Linux and how much work had been put in to make even the Proton experience seamless. I now have over 1500 hours in VR exclusively on Linux.

Yes, and the government would not provide you an email address, meaning you are given a choice of either using a "free" email service that would sell your data or paying a premium to a private hoster. I am not even considering sel

That was a market without competition. Without anything lighting a fire under Intel they had no reason to improve the chips further and kept making tiniest of iterative improvements year after year.

You should check again - Ubuntu applications are now being distributed via Snaps that everyone hates, they are sandboxed tho. For other distributions you have Flatpak that is also sandboxed.

Yeah, but then it is supposed to - you are expected to have knowledge to fix it as a user. And unlike proprietary OSes it gives you legible errors and great logging/debugging tools and a path to downgrade. Last time I had to help my fr

Sailfish is still around, and judging by Windows 10 I can't see how having Windows Mobile could improve anything.

You can always install a newer kernel - thankfully Linux is notorious for never breaking the userspace as a general rule.

QLED coating is not bullshit, I had a PC monitor with it and it won against any other VA panel I compare it with. Now, the name is a but unfortunate, but the tech is there

Rust being relatively new and shiny language compels everyone who just learned it to use all the features as often as possible. I keep falling down this hole too.

..but then, just like some smart home devices, it would either constantly annoy you with an icon or popus about "missing internet connection" or outright refuse to work at all with a cryptic "something went wrong"

Well we aren't just consumers, we are also citizens. Forcing ads into your devices sounds like a collective action waiting to happen, especially if it's done via an update. And further down the road some sort of advocacy group&#x2

It used to be an ideal choice, but as article correctly mentions - we killed it. First some websites got way too greedy with annoying and harmful ads, then the adblockers cut all ad revenue to maybe 1/3 of what it was and then Google

There is no griping about the right to participate on my part. I don't think it's fair for you to substitute a mandated voting for a right to vote like this to misrepresent my point entirely. A right is something you have to exerc

People who has no business voting voting. Imagine how many people would vote - not from the informed voter perspective. They'll most likely vote for the candidate they remember in a positive light. Imagine how much more sway would a bi

So just add a manifest to a web app, like in KaiOS, the third largest phone OS? A permission model isn't hard to implement

A license is not a pact with a demon, known as the original developer. A license is a legal document to be enforced by many different courts across the world.

Making complicates shapes these sizes is very very hard. And the fact that it's a one-off project for now makes it so much more expensive and hard. From my understanding somewhere some factory would have to dedicate a whole production

However, there is an elephant in the room - any Xiaomi device can unlock its bootloader, and the flash an open firmware, like LOS. This instantly makes it much better than Apple phones or any phones on the market - you can even ignore googl

Yet Apple ecosystem is an insane walled garden and you don't really own your hardware, because you can't even run applications not downloaded from the app store.

This is how it works in ARMbian. It forces a password change on first login. It can be annoying if you intend on deleting the alarm user right after that, but I can easily see why. "Default" passwords are always suboptimal.
