Honestly... it depends if you have an ad-blocker. I would prefer TV to Youtube any day, if I had a TV ad-blocker, simply because the content is far more likely to be reasonable quality rather than a 20 minute clickbait video with 30 seconds

Having to take off the bumper is pretty bad. On the other hand, taking off a tire takes perhaps a minute.

Sure, $100k, plus another $100k for the latest and greatest hardware every few years (or worse yet to rent a small chunk of not-latest-or-greatest hardware for a year), plus another $100k for the software licenses...

Pretty much none of the country has billboards for "normal products" these days. They're either advertising a local establishment (i.e. "McDonalds! next exit!"), or they're advertising something that the TV net

There's also enormous pressure from the public to be able to find things, especially in the case of... you know, a McDonalds on the interstate with people driving by who are from the other side of the country. ;) I don't think m

en.m. is NOT a seperate resource from en.. It is the SAME resource because it has the SAME content and because editing the content on EITHER changes the content on the other. It is a different PRESENTATION of the content, which should be se

Hmm, well I don't think it's quite one-click, in fact I think it would take fewer clicks to do it on-Wikipedia: click a link like this and then press Publish. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&a

The best way to do it would be to not redirect at all but instead simply serve the different layout at the same URL using the same criteria they already use to redirect. (Or, of course, they could use something like CSS media queries fo

No one is asking for en.m.wikipedia.org. Someone on their phone asks for en.wikipedia.org (or more likely clicks a link to it from Google or elsewhere), gets redirected to en.m.wikipedia.org (instead of serving a mobile or responsive page

It's kinda strange that you think someone who is on a phone copying a link and sharing it with someone who is not on a phone, is the latter person "specifically ask[ing]" for the mobile page.

I don't get this. If you want it to be narrower, make your browser window narrower. And by the way, you don't need an extension for the rest of the stuff, either. Wikipedia already supports per-user custom styling. https:/&#

That's like saying that no one's going to use a new social media, or IM, or chat, or ... If it's happened for all of those things (and some of them going from a more useful platform to less useful), it can happen for email.

Hmm. I wonder how this person got notifications even though their phone was offline to avoid being wiped. I also wonder why this person got notifications. Most services don't send you notifications just because you used a device which

I haven't personally worked in one of the big contract places but have close friends who did. I think your impression of these places as being simply "phone repair places" may not match reality, to be quite honest.

Fair enough! Although personally I would (/used to, 15 years ago) just stream my VPS's screen rather than running a Docker container inside my VPS :)

If you've been subpoenaed, you're not talking to a cop, so "don't talk to cops" isn't complicated at all. The full phrase - "don't talk to cops except upon the advice of your lawyer" - isn't

I don't quite understand how this is better than just streaming your desktop? The readme says "author made this because ... his internet could not handle streaming" but this is just streaming the (in-docker) display, no?

Evil has always existed and will always exist. There is nothing we can do to get rid of all evil. We do punish the evil behavior. And yet this still allegedly occurred. So perhaps the solution is making sure the evil behavior isn't p

How is that relevant? No matter what protocol they are using to communicate, it is quite conceivable that the erase commands are not properly implemented. In fact, as the comment you're replying to pointed out, there have been many dev
