Spain's blackout was exactly 1 year ago, no other blackouts since. And the mix of nuclear stayed almost the same. That was not a stabilization problem per-se, but the companies that had to do the stabilization just didn't although

After the huge impact on the PC gaming community, it's logical to despise AI and ban it from any awards. First cryptocurrencies pumped huge price raises on GPUs, then prices won't return to normal due to AI and now it's impac

Also the DigitalOcean deoplet includes 500GB per month, which for me is absolutely limited. Last month I consumed about 10TB.

The article doesn't mention it, but there is an increasing worry that the USA could remotely disable some jet functionalities at will, or that any basic operation should be monitored and approved by them. So, this is not a reliable wea

Wow, initially I thought this was the typical libertarian thing to pay less taxes. But thanks to your explanation, I see that the scheme is absolutely crazy. Software devs salaries, as any other employee, should be considered an expense. Bu

I would love that Firefox focuses on the browser. I think I wouldn't oppose some monetizing strategy like DDG based on affiliate sales, or even a realistic affordable subscription model (10€/year?). They should put the efforts on

I remember when doing web development in 2001 in a company with massive traffic we had a total size limit imposed in each landing page or site, kind of what it's still required for ad networks. It wasn't unusual to reject some des

I only have configured a task in Shortcuts that I find useful. I'm a freelance, and sometimes I have to use my personal car to do some work. So, I did a task that I voice activate on CarPlay in order to record the current mileage into

Spanish here. IMO all those services should be state owned. Set them with a tariff-free base monthly consumption and start charging beyond that threshold. I'm ok with private companies providing the service to the state, if they think

I've been trying to go IPv6 in my network for several years, but it is really impossible. My ISP (Movistar, one of the big ones in Spain) does not enable it on its fiber network, although there is a beta program that does not allow new

This is what I don't understand. In Spain you can only vote in your assigned precinct. Otherwise, you have to vote by mail. Every mail vote collected by the Postal Service gets delivered on the election day to the assigned precinct. At

The cookies popup at least made aware to a lot of people that over 800 companies want to access your data if you visit a site.

Firefox Focus works great. I have it set as the default browser in iOS and use it for browsing sites and opening pages from Feedly or other applications. As soon as I close it, say goodbye to cookies and all tracking info. It's like a

Because, as it happens with a lot of apps, the developer teams, product managers or whoever with decision powers are not users of their own applications.

Spanish here. You're overtly exaggerating, Spain is not becoming a dictatorship. This is the right and far-right having a tantrum because they've not been able to secure a government. Go spread your propaganda elsewhere.

Some of us use subtitles because we don't want to listen to the audio in situations where that would be disrespectful, like in the gym. In Spain there is a big dubbing industry with very good professionals that are able to transmit the

Not talking about politics, here, but a flag usually denotes a country or region, not a language. You should use a flag when you're referring to a country or region, for example when you have an e-commerce website and are just distribu

What study supports your claim that a nationalised pharma industry could lower prices at most 25%? Do you know the cost of insulin in the USA and its cost in the EU, although being both private companies?

I think you just need a bigger monitor. There are a lot of situations where multiple windows are the way to go. A designer needs to have the style guide PDF open while working with Photoshop, or an accountant needs to have its banking websi

You can also try to use your domain registrar SMTP as relay, in case they offer you a mail service, and setting their SPF records to the domain. I have set it up with Gandi and works pretty good.
