Exactly this. As someone on the hiring side, most Resumes that come my way are identical layout for every candidate a recruiter sends. As soon as I'm talking to a candidate 1-on-1 (without the recruiter proxying) I ask them to provided

You can use the Firefox Focus browser in iOS, which has ad blocking built in, but can't use it as an adblocker for the main Firefox browser. I suspect that's due to the app sandboxing - there's no way for Focus (as a standalo

And just to clarify for the non-Germans: this is a nationwide number which connects you to your local service, much like 112/911 does. In big cities it generally goes to a call centre staffed by nurses or EMTs, who will do basic triage

Here in Berlin we have a service for exactly this called the Wärmebus (warm bus) run by Red Cross and the city. Social workers come out in a van, talk to the person, help them however possible. If they're willing to go to a shelter, th

The changes differ based on your location. In the EU (and UK), it's some fairly minor changes to do with business messaging. Outside of the EU, it is much more significant, merging your WhatsApp data with your Facebook data (including

Yes, lack of local knowledge in Google Maps is often problematic, and Google aren't receptive to local governments requesting changes. I lived near a gorge where there was a nice modern road alongside an old horse track that was only i

If you go to a site that advertises (via HTTP header) that it has a Tor version, you'll get an "Open in Tor" button at the end of the address bar. Examples are nytimes.com and dw.com

The long press (which also works on macOS) is really handy when you need to enter a character that you don't already know the key combo for. As far as I can tell there's nothing like it in Windows - if you don't know how to i

I can't even use the Prime Video apps, because they all ignore all language settings (both those of my devices and my Amazon account) and pick which language to use based on IP Geolocation. There's a setting for language on the we

In NZ, which generally copy-pastes VIC's traffic laws, the tolerance is only applied to automated systems like speed cameras. A cop can ticket you in-person when you're 1km/h over.

ReCaptcha actually does this too. Everything on my system is configured for English, but it asks me to find the "Fußgangerweg" or whatever. Have to use Google Translate just to know what I'm supposed to be looking for. It sti

I'm using Brave plus NextDNS, and am on a CG-NAT IPv4 address, so reCaptcha absolutely hates me. I always need to do at least 5 rounds of matching before it'll let me past. My record has been 12 rounds. hCaptcha seems to pretty co

For me at least, the images on recaptcha have been getting much much worse, to the point of often being almost indistinguishable. So although they are still typically asking for the same things (cars, buses, stop signs, traffic lights) they

As someone outside of the US, luckily it seems most US companies think that US law applies globally. I've got quite a few DMCA notices from rights holders, but never anything actually relevant to the country of my citizenship, where I

If it's based on YouTube's algorithms, I'm not surprised. No matter what topic of video I start watching, after letting it autoplay for a while it ends up on conspiracy theory junk, which I have never intentionally watched. S

>may qualify >certain There's a lot of exceptions. It's not a blanket "if you earn less than X you don't pay US taxes".

Yep, significantly cheaper to become a citizen in most (if not all) EU countries than to renounce US citizenship.

This doesn't apply to all forms of income though. You can get double-taxed on some incomes.

Have worked in a couple of jobs where the CEO or CTO still raised PRs, and they were really treated no differently. There was definitely a lot of code style changes requested, because as you say that knowledge might be out-of-date. I suspec

Yes, and TeamViewer do in fact allow you to cancel online via a portal if you live in a jurisdiction that requires it. For everyone else, they use this dark pattern. Makes it very clear that they're just trying to scam anyone they can

Keep is part of GSuite/Workspaces but didn't get a new logo in the redesign, so it's probably next on the chopping block.

Interesting. I guess a big factor would be how widely used OpenStreetMap and TomTom (Apple's two primary data sources) are in a country. OSM is widely used in EU for website map embeds (due to GDPR implications of Google Maps), and Tom

I don't know about the US, but outside of it Apple Maps seems to be far more accurate than Google Maps. A few examples from my own personal experience: - A small beach town in New Zealand shows about 10 streets which have never existed
