Since I was a teenager I never asked to pee or drink in school. I just got up and told them: „I’m going to pee now.“ I see these things as my basic human rights. And nobody should accept having them restricted. In the country where I live t

On iOS there is an app called "Local" developed by Facebook. I only have Facebook for the events part and I only use it through this app. It kind of sucks that they have a monopoly on events except maybe Resident Advisor which is

In Switzerland we had quasi slaves till the 1980s (Verdingkinder). This is horrible and the skin color of the victims was most of the time white. And many of them are now old white dudes. There are probably more old white dudes in Europe th

Why does the app need Bluetooth or WiFi scanning permissions? Can't you handle the pairing in the OS and allow the app to use an already established connection?

And it does‘t have any distractions on it. When I‘m reading on my phone I always get distracted by messages or googling something. Most of my books are still physical books. It‘s weird but I often buy books based on their cover.

What a surprise. Why would anyone think that a billionaire would act against the interest of billionaires. Politics are basically a reality show for people that want to look educated. Sadly I‘m too young to know if it always was like that.

Is a person that operates a fully automatic coffee machine a barista? I love a good espresso but you can‘t even get that at most places. A lot of people seem to like Starbucks I don‘t think they serve a good espresso. It seems to me that th

If I'm talking to colleagues or making notes I just use the English words. I mean all my notes about computer related topics are in English. When I write a documentation or an e-mail for or to customers I translate everything to German

I mean in the seventies and eighties there was a lot of racism against Spaniards and Italians. Nowadays this is gone. They are allowed to be proud of their heritage. We also had a lot of highly educated migrants from Yugoslavia back in the

I agree with you but it makes sense to include Office 365. Amazon offers mail hosting and office software in AWS as well. Edit: Okay they only offer document storage you still need to edit your documents with MS Office.

Every bookstore I know and regularly go too has a online shop too. I can order there and go pick up my order in the store and pay in cash. The problem with the large catalog on sites like Amazon is that it's impossible (at least for me

The title is missleading. The report is about Office 365 and for the Dutch Government. Since they are a government they probably have stronger legal requirements than your standard small business owner around the corner. So they probably ca

You can Firewall Windows services. There is a inbuilt firewall and there may be default rules but you can customize it the way you want. It would be a pretty big security flaw if they let their services bypass the firewall. They may be prof

The way you describe it would not be feasible for a novice either. Almost every piece of software you use today needs internet access. That‘s why Microsoft delivers Windows with sane Firewall rules and just asks if you‘re in a trusted netwo

You don‘t need any third-party tools for that. Since Windows Vista and Windows XP SP3 the inbuilt Windows Firewall can take care of all that. Just create a rule that denies internet access for the telemetry service. It can be configured by

Could there be economic reasons for the price jump? The Surface Pro was in a similar price region. I'm interested to see if Microsoft raises the prices of the new Surface Generation too. It looks like new computers are getting more exp

I agree. In Europe universitys expect you to be an adult capable of managing your life and don‘t involve themselves in it. American colleges seem more like closed communitys with their own rules. Maybe that‘s because most of the time only e
