>you can just delete your FB account, you know? And FB will continue to spy on you and create shadow accounts for you in case you should sign on again. Big tech has become a loose cannon and needs to be reined in. Hard.

>I wonder why those events took a while to appear in the urea price? Probably because big urea producers have longer-term contracts for gas and the price hike would only occur after a set period. Chemical plants buy very little spot.

I agree but this seems bigger than finding arbitrary hash values - after all, China shut down crypto mining months ago I think and yet they had to shut down a phosphate factory in December.

I suspect the background is that the others do not want to face the death of one of their pals. Without some evidence, I doubt someone unconscious would die from a "he ain't gonna make it" - it's at least as likely his m

Usually, tar-like substances still sweat out a range of volatile aromatic compounds which aren't good for your health. Yes, heat-treating them would get rid of 99% or more, but that's not good enough for housing.

Because in a company setting at least, you will soon discover that you need more than file-based logs in the specific format some coder defined for his pet project. So, you start logging to a database which is easy enough and then you start

Really, what's the point of a quip like this? That's like saying I never saw a Lisp program that didn't have a lot of brackets. Minimal only makes sense within one language ecosystem. Java tends to be more verbose than some o

German government staff is as un-digital as you can get. They have no idea how a small modeling group would have helped. Maybe the incoming government will do better, but I am not holding my breath.

Wait, do I get this right that M1 Macs cannot work with monitor calibration tools? I am not a graphics professional but my wife is and we are thinking about buying a M1 Mac - but she needs a calibrated display.

Considering they are mostly anorganic substance, I'd guess you can make them boil - you'd get lava.

I know it makes me sound like a snob, but Ghibli has spoiled me. I don't enjoy Disney animated movies anymore, like at all.

Makes me envious, it must have been great living at a time where progress was good and megalomanic projects were seriously discussed. Now, everyone is so cynical about everything.

Country X isn't just crying wolf to smear Y here. Y invaded a neighbouring country years ago and is again concentrating troops at the border. And it still doesn't answer why the Russians chose to destroy a huge sat (more fragments

But battery is about the only thing you can replace. If your trackpad or keyboard fails, you have to swap out the whole top assembly. If your camera or display cable goes, you have to replace the lid. Part of that is unavoidable as laptops

I used to be like that and find that re-conditioning myself is really hard. Agreeing to something while acknowledging its flaws seems so bland if you can write a scathing take-down instead...

I even hesitated clicking on the comment section as it was totally clear this was going to be dominated by contrarian for contrarian's sake comments, Reddit style. It certainly helps for some deep technical articles, but when it comes

It's not like the victim is losing something if the signal is widely known. It raises the stakes for the attacker who now also has to constantly monitor for hidden signals. Yes, the attacker can strip-search the victim for smartphones

IDK, I believe a first-strike policy is inherently destabilizing. Never quite understood the idea. You don't have to abolish nukes to cancel such a policy.

Laptops command higher margins. They will want to milk the market with their Pro/Max laptops and then release Minis and larger iMacs next year. Also, even a huge company like Apple would want to stagger releases so design teams can hav

I was considering an XPS and read through the Dell subreddits. People were constantly complaining how their machine was throttled and even opened it up to apply better cooling paste, undervolted it and so on. I have a hard time believing th

I am partly with you. But considering you have to actually put wires through walls and install sockets vs. just setting up an Wifi 6 access point, I don't see Ethernet making a huge comeback.

Seems doubtful to me. Apple doesn't have to score the absolute highest in performance. For better or worse, they need a credible high-end chip that they can marry with their proprietary OS and computer designs to win customers via a co
