Was it a complaint? A buddy of mine is on Plusnet, they wrote to him about it but it wasn't a complaint, more just letting him know.

I was at Uni around ten years ago (actually it's more like 12, getting old!), I remember we had Sky Broadband (in a flat full of IT students) and seriously abused it. They never complained.

Not in the UK. I've literally never had an ISP contain about bandwidth, and I use a lot of bandwidth.

I've often wondered if you could use the process described above to create an historical event that never happened. Create the Wikipedia page(s), some journalists write about it, then add those articles as references. I wonder if peopl

I generally enjoy longform journalism but this is an exhausting read. May have been better as a series of articles.

It's a shame Torrenting gets such a bad rap. If I want to share a large file with somebody who knows what they are doing, I encrypt it, create a torrent, send them the magnet URL and then they can download it and decrypt it. No web ser

They're setting up domain names similar to ones the restaurants already own (ie the restaurant owns .com, they buy .net and drive traffic to it)

Am I correct in thinking WSL2 needs Hyper-V to be enabled? What's the advantage of it versus running Ubuntu in a VM and using putty?

Good idea(s), thanks!

I'd love to learn all about the coding/mechanics etc that goes into game development, but I have zero imagination when it comes to good game ideas. I feel like I would need to partner with somebody a lot more creative to be effect

Nice, wasn't even aware that Svelte was a thing, thanks.

The last one seems kind of bad. If you are going to spend your time developing for a niche platform, you would hope they would at least be on the ball in terms of app store reviewing.

Neat, thanks

I think that HTML5/JS/CSS is the recommended way to write apps for KaiOS. Seems kind of fun in a way, the bloated JS frameworks we are used to probably won't run very well, so you would need to work at a lower level and reall

What's a good example of this sort of language?

by jmkni 7y ago
I don't expect anybody to do anything, more suggesting that a good way to tap into this market would be to develop native apps that don't suck. A bit of Google-fu shows that a lot of these phones run something called KaiOS, and it

Or actually learn how to develop natively for the OS these feature phones use. Does the JioPhone run the same OS and use the same app store as the equivalent Nokia feature phone, for example?

The Amazon link searches for books written after the year 2000, and the copyright at the bottom is 2001-2014. Also, Outliers came out in 2008.

I feel like I'm out of the loop here, what specifically have SO done to piss people off? What are the actual features they have they added that people are annoyed about?

Very cool, thanks for sharing

Cool good to know, I just remember hearing something like that on an episode of Air Crash Investigation so it jumped out at me.

Interesting read, one note: > Dad’s luggage went to London. They wouldn’t help him get it back. He called someone in the baggage department at Heathrow, who assisted. Aamil never made it to Sarajevo. In fact, that was one of the last tim

The only reason the game came with the expansion pak was to fix that one memory bug, IIRC. They couldn't figure it out, but realised the game didn't crash when it had a bit more ram so they just gave everybody an expansion pak.

Even with uBlock Origin (59/31% of requests blocked), Tech Radar still manages to bombard you with popups, banners, cookie warnings, auto playing videos and ads. Annoying!

I remember reading that multiplayer was pretty much an afterthought for GoldenEye. It wasn't planned, they just sort of hacked it together and snuck it in.
