There's a general fascination with VTOLs in the tech scene for a while, especially as the Next Big Thing for on-demand ride hailing, but I also wouldn't be surprised if part of it is a legal distinction to avoid some of the rules

The phone masking looks great, too. Like Privacy.com, it's awesome with virtual alternatives for PII, except they don't tend to be available here in Europe, but I'm definitely jealous.

One of the ironies of these things is that they tend to map to a specific e-mail address, whereas the more paranoid of us who'd want to pay for a service like that tend to have different addresses, either entirely or something like Gma

Capcom have a history of doing dumb stuff with DRM. They also changed the DRM system with the Iceborne expansion for Monster Hunter World, which created all sorts of issues, partly due to lazy CRC implementation. It lead to a whole cat and

I can't think of a worse thing than having YouTube ads beamed into my eyes, but you'd imagine the ROI on that would be pretty decent as a company that's mainly built around selling ads.

Are there any wi-fi dongles - or even PCI extensions - for PCs that are worth getting? Everywhere I look, it's usually down to hoping the one that comes with your motherboard is any good, and those aren't easy to upgrade every now

Highly recommend the Consent-O-Matic extension to automatically handle cookie prompts, too: https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic . One of my favourite extensions.

The "DMCA abuse" rule feels a lot like perjury where it's technically illegal but a legal and prosecutorial mess that means it never rarely punished and makes headlines when it finally does.

I recently found ytdl-sub which is basically a metadata wrapper around yt-dlp to help you save videos in a format library software like Plex etc supports. Rather than having some horribly named videos with metadata files just taking up spac

This is very common with short or otherwise valuable usernames on social media platforms. Initials and so on. That's what 2FA is there for, but you still get the annoying e-mail notifications for attempted sign-ins. Make sure to weigh

Last I tried playing the game, it kept crashing with a DirectX error, so this might be the best way to keep the game working.

I love a lot of things in their Edge browser, but man if the first ten minutes with it aren't spent disabling and removing stuff. Seems crazy to have browsers throw MSN news feeds at you in 2023 but here we are.

The thing that's driven me crazy about Discord since its launch is how bad its read position logging is compared to the service they copied (Slack). I don't know how you catch up on any conversation regularly, especially in a work

I'm still not entirely sure. I think Reddit's had the same issue with some of its feed when subreddits went from private to public, so if even they struggle with it, then it might not be entirely straightforward. Not even sure RSS

I love RSS, but the one thing that almost makes me anxious is whether I'm going to make one of those mistakes that ends up republishing the whole RSS feed in people's readers.

Can't we at the very least be allowed to easily apply some spending limit on iOS/iPadOS apps to catch this kind of stuff? It would also help serve as a basic allowance system.

In terms of growing scope, isn't the general case usually something along the lines of: TOML > YAML > JSON > SQLite I'm lazy, so I wish I could just manage them all in Sublime Text.

One of the great things about being European is that we will constantly see some random city promoted as "the Silicon Valley of Europe", and the city seems to change once every three or five years.

I've had issues where 1Password wouldn't save my new logins properly, lasting for over a day. Maybe that's why they need the telemetry. Do 1Password do security/privacy audits the way Mullvad do? That's a pretty dec

There's Restricted Mode[1], but it's extremely aggressive to the point of hiding too much. I personally use the drop-down feature to tell YouTube I'm not interested in a particular recommended channel or video, as well as mai

I'd really like a VPN service to recommend streamers where they don't automatically show your location and IP if you happened to not be logged in for whatever reason. It's a UX that lands a lot of people in trouble when they
