Same thing for example for public tv broadcast streams. Often they want you to create an account with an email to watch streams, for totally zéro use for you but they hope to be able to target you with ad and co. Same thing, I create a rand

I think that we can easily say that it is a huge "epic fail" for the whole ecosystem of people that pushed for "Passkey" with the argument that "this was more safe than password that need to be deprecated"...

I flagged this entry because it looks like a marketing stunt. The description of the book was looking appealing, and I was amazed at the good spirit to have a free downloadable version. So I opened a new tab for the free and paid versions,

I'm a huge fan of Kagi, despite the price. I switched one day when I realized that I couldn't bear anymore Google results that were full of advertisements. But, I just noticed something crazy: - I did try the same search as the on

I also think that a lot of people have no clue about what is free software/open source at its root. Nothing was said to make money, be rich or avoid someone else (being big companies) becoming rich. At the origin, the greatness of the

Do I understand correctly that this means that browser will have to do yet another useless request to domains or website to know the GPC status in addition with the request required to retrieve the ressources ? In addition with OPTION reque

And I say that it is stupid because from my point of view, you bring a very complex and time costly solution to something that could be solved a lot more simply and efficiently. Very sadly it is a pattern that we see very commonly in curren

If you don't have a closet, it's even easier, everything will be outside in plain sight. So the office manager just need a minute passing by the kitchen to see what would have to be ordered. In a ideal world where items could be o

I don't understand how you consider all this complexity to be better than to just have an inventory of what have to be ordered once in a while. In a batch, at the secretary or office manager own time. Instead of all the things to be ma

more efficient and convenient for both in the end. Imagine the burden to have to put a postit on all products, to manage them on your desk, to stack them and remember to count them to reorder. Also because you will not pass your order item

The milk example looks very stupid in my opinion. Something more efficient would be something like this: - there is a closet in the kitchen with extra supplies: milk, sugar, ... - Kasia goes in the kitchen once per week to do the inventory

You point could be valid if it was not only a propaganda/marketing speech to cover terrible self interested crimes. If his policy was so effective, why drug and criminality was still that high during all of his long time administration

I think that titles are confusing, but your links for example are not the same thing as the innovation in the article. For nexperia, if you read the datasheet in fact it is a module that will harvest energy from a photovoltaic cells. For th

I was too thinking that based on the title, but it looks like that the goal is a little bit different and indeed quite interesting: The idea here is to harvest the energy from the "RF" ambiant noise, not from a pre-provided relati
