The article is kinda weird. Author is most probably suffering from mouse but blames keyboard. As an argument article against modern keyboards describes physical parameters (like distance between rows of keys) of typewriters. And the schem

I'd say it's just another iteration of "headphones will kill your ears". The same stuff was around when walkmans became a thing.

Well, you see, this is about products from one brand being able to work as one ecosystem - what we had previously and what we've lost. Before I had to upgrade my work laptop, when I've got to the office I could just plug my headph

I am indeed surprised, thanks for the link. So, it's definitely doable. But still, it will require investments just to keep existing entries available.

> I assume the original poster didn't mean "subsidies" as financial assistance I, obviously, have no idea what original poster meant but forcing streaming services to buy local titles is, basically, financial assistance.

Ok, let's say that any title made in EU will suffice for every EU member. Still, for every 100 non-EU (basically, US) titles Netflix would need to get 50 EU titles. And I don't think that amount of movies/series/etc prod

Well, I've actually faced an opposite situation. I have two Gmail accounts, main one gathers mail from the secondary, and I'm pretty sure that main address is set up as "recovery e-mail" in the secondary account. I'

Well, they definitely do fail at the very core. For the non-enterprise Gmail accounts, there is basically no way for account owners to reattain control over an account if it was hijacked. Google product forums full of people blocked from th

Huh, I was under impression that there are still some regulations regarding food imports/export within EU. Apparently, I was wrong.

Yeah, you're right, as the guy from Ukraine I'm probably preconceived quite a bit. But as an IT guy, I still do not believe that everything is clear with those 4 years and 9 million euro.

Depends on the country, I guess. Come visit Ukraine - there is almost nothing hidden regarding those agendas here. One question, tho - if they are so incompetent and mismanaged, how come they're your government?

Wow, there is some really funny shit going on in your head behind that pink goggles of yours? We are trying to deal with that for several years now, still a lot of work to be done. And no - that's not just thinking. Some of those gove

Yeah, right, because in countries with high corruption level elections are always work as they supposed to.

That pretty easy. Let's say you're a government official who's in charge of a local subway. One of the stations is in need of renovation. You're opening a tender for that and got 3 participants - 2 of them are some indep
