Energy consumption of the microwave generator is the first thing that comes to mind - any 'cheap' sources of microwaves?

I feel it needs pointing out that the savant-stereotype surrounding autism still needs taming a little. Autism can make the lives of some sufferers extremely difficult, and also those of their carers. We all know this, yet the typical respo

Yeah good call. I have mosh running to various boxes all day, but the mail sits on 2 diff servers so I tend to bring them together on the local machine. Still, very doable. Could use tmux and mosh together on the pi even... Yep, thanks for

That's not strictly new in this version. I've had that enabled (hesitate to say been using) for a while now. Anyone know if the hanging between wifi to cable connections is resolved yet? Aside from that I'm much quicker and m

Appreciate the response. The org-mode lot can be quote passionate, as much as the proponents of 'the other' editor I mentioned... TBH the config is not as minimalist as it could be - the autocomplete isn't necessary, nor the

To clarify for the downvoters, freediving has many techniques for slowing heartrate and conserving oxygen. It's one of the best ways to learn to 'control' your body.

I used to do something similar, with positive effects. My wife just tried this with her regular/non-allergy headache and thinks it has cleared it instantly.

That's why I followed this link tonight, as that incident hasn't yet been explained. It caused widespread panic in a matter of hours. Perhaps simple to flush the system once, but that would be unsustainable in the long run. It&#x2

How do you get on with the CPU - is the Core M series much different in practice?

This is partly why I'm interested in fanless models now, such as the Asus Zenbook (CA/FA line afaik). Do we need moving parts in laptops any more?

Just to chime in with uMatrix by the same dev as uBO - it has always been the 'power-user' version to rival noscript etc. A much more 'open' solution.

That + uMatrix (using the u, not the mu, because I'm a human and actually want this tech to proliferate...) are made by gorhill - see the 'Related' tab on the Chrome store link you gave, 'Same developer' and you&#x2

Not to spread FUD, and it's probably nothing, but some blockers, such as Disconnect, have founding teams that formerly worked at DoubleClick, Google and NSA. None of this appears on their website post-2013, the summer of surveillance.

My mother-in-law very much appreciated not having ads in her free apps recently, as well as browsing her favourite news sites quicker, ad-free, due to the pihole set up and used by the router. I didn't put her up to appreciating it eit

Appreciate the further consideration of those points. As for your project; do it! If it'll help people, write it all and release it under a creative commons licence. Spread it far and wide. It could be your legacy, long after you'

I'm using them literally. Immoral as in 'not a moral activity' and hostile as in 'attacking my freedom'. I think we probably agree that advertising can be improved, it's just likely that I'm more offended

> I'm ethically opposed to adblockers as they deny content creators a means of making money for their work. Quick rebuttal: - People who use adblockers aren't likely to click ads anyway (maybe improving CTR for advertisers?). -

The Kickstarter page with specs: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pine64/pine-a64-first-1... The gigabit networking sounds good, as does the GPU. Although it has no onboard wifi/BT, as the Pi 3 does.

No, not stupid, just often the result of manipulative half-truths. See above comment thread for a more comprehensive reply.

If one study is enough to convince you, without being skeptical of its methods, fair enough, but consider this: -- a) despite controlling for socio-economic status, non-breastfeeding in the 1970s (when this study first got underway), in a p

The funny thing about breastfeeding is that advice varies between countries, despite WHO advice. Which is very short on data, IMO. China, France say bottle up, UK has a strange and emotional culture around bonding with your baby, as if men
