And the Channel between England and France is a mere 20 miles at its narrowest point, Ireland is 12 (the UK's nearest EU neighbors). You can argue it down to zero miles for Ireland if you start your journey in Northern Ireland. The sun

Sure, but its not that hard or expensive to hop a ferry/train/plane trip to France or Ireland and buy an unlocked phone, as one example. Any laws the UK passes have to account for the geographical realities of its location. Just b

Your local video store rented PC games? Where I grew up, console games for sure were available in video rental places but there was never a business in renting PC games. I wish there had been!

While these are two common standards, you can easily implement DoH almost anyway you want if you are building a service or device. Its just replying to a request for a hostname record over HTTPS fundamentally - it can be as simple as an e

There's nothing stopping you just making your own REST API and responding over HTTPS that returns hostname records for any service you build or run - it doesn't even need to use an existing DoH standard. These are exactly the sort

While these are all good practices, killing DoH conclusively on your home network is more difficult than you've made it seem, as ultimately all you can really do is use domain blacklists at your firewall. It's no longer as straigh

Serious question: how can we trust that any of these are "credible" as you put it? I'm reminded of the recent disclosure that a "private" Swiss software firm providing encryption software was owned by the CIA and ha

The idea CD-ROM wasn't ubiquitous in the PC industry and consumer desktops at large in 2001 is just laughable, I'm amazed this is still being debated. Do some people just choose not to remember the explosion in the "multimedi

It honestly wasn't during this period. in 2001, computers did not last as long as they do today, with performance doubling often every year to 18 months. Ask anyone who lived this period - by 2001, virtually everything had CD-ROM. If y

On the contrary, search ad revenue is but a relatively small part of Microsoft's overall business. If you want to place bets search is a critical battleground for AI (Microsoft/Satya clearly seem to), it makes sense to attack them

I don't feel a comparison to DSLs works here at all. If you are just using plain human language, is a comparison to DSLs apt? The point of DSLs are to provide a deliberately limited-scope language optimised for a specific problem or pr

You shouldn't need someone to fetch you a source - the performance gap is big and well documented in every single review of the 4090 or 7900XTX - hardly much of a surprise really given we are comparing a 999 dollar part to a 1600 dolla

No, its literally just a scheduled OTA software update for anyone who has it installed.

You basically can't get a "PC" into any of the cheap small wall mount solutions I've seen on Amazon or elsewhere - they are almost always around half or less the depth of a "real" server chassis. A 1U/2U r

No - the "recall" here is an OTA software update already scheduled for release. Availability remains exactly the same as far as I'm aware, and existing systems still function until updated. FWIW, NHTSA "recalls" are

Or 199 dollars + taxes a month - there is a pay as you go option. Not saying this is great, but you can try it for a month for ~200 bucks. This is how I tried FSD beta for a month - certainly wasn't prepared to pay 15k up front. The sa

I'd go further and just point out the obvious - all DBs have incredibly well supported container run options in 2023, that mean you don't have to install the DB at all. I know of no DB that cannot be easily learned or deployed thi

The MFI (Made for iPhone) program is today a significant revenue generator, allowing Apple to take a commission on every certified iPhone accessory. if Apple wish to continue licensing accessories for money in this way they will likely need

The Paris demo was part of the same announcement on the same day? Both contributed to the large drop in the stock and both are evidence of a rushed response to the MS announcement.

There was more to the Bard issues than this. The live Paris demo in which the demo phone couldn't be found live on stage (!!) is one of the worst large scale public presentations I've seen in a while, like Tesla Cybertruck window

You can add PoE (Power over Ethernet) to the Pi 4 or Pi 3B+ pretty cheaply (10-15 dollar hat), and avoid the USB power supply altogether. Not strictly necessary, but makes the wiring so much simpler/cleaner as just one single ethernet
