Yeah, there is definitely more projects now & they seem to be evolving quite rapidly. :)

Simple - they returns are not worth it. :-)

I don't think you can ever trust closed source software that also requires network for other features that it really does on-device processing for something specific. It might not even send the sensitive data immediately but bundle it

Do you really think Discord is not scrapping all the traffic that goes through its service for either their own purposes or to sell data for profit. And if its not doing it now, it will certainly happen once/if it goes bust.

Basically dumping - they made an objectively superior product that was completely free to users, funded by investor money without any plans for immediate profitability and long term sustainability. That was all nice for a few years, but it

Isn't it a good thing ? It makes clearly marks companies like Persona dangerous and toxic enough to hopefully makes an example that prevents others from working with them.

Given all then dumping, bundling, vendor lock-in and shady background deals I am not sure how voluntary this often is in practice.

MeshCore is spreading quite rapidly - it uses solar powered repeaters and that helps a lot. :)

I think it would have happened regardless - late Symbian from Nokia was pretty close and Maemo was already a thing with N900 not that far off in the future, not to mention Android. We might have been possibly better of actually, with the Ap

Yeah - not only have we seend some of the same large companies that have trampled regular people and made examples of them in name of defending copyright fully ignore it when it was time to feed their AI models. And now the hypocrisy went f

Oh no! They are stealing all the data we have stolen ourselves! This needs to be stopped and punished immediately!

I wonder how many actually beneficial projects will not be financed by investors too scared to try anything risky after the AI buble crashes and burns to the ground. :P

The iPhone was not the first mobile device or even the first smartphone. Not to mention it did not support mobile applications as we know them today.

IIRC from the Veritasium video[0] there is actually some hydrogen gas flowing at quite a high speed though the laser chamber to carry away the tin debris so that it does not accumulate on the mirrors. [0] https://www.youtube.com&

I think someone with his perspective might be actually a perfect head of the movement. Most people who play games are not programmers & games are becoming a big part of modern culture. Why should people playing (and paying !) for games

I think a lot of what looks like to much wrapping can be explained by high humidity year round. The wrapping protects products from spoiling or being damaged in such an environment.

The "Bank identity" system in Czech Republic (and likely other countries) can be used to log into to various government services. The idea is that you already authenticated to the bank when getting the account, so they can be sure

Seems like a political rather than technical problem ? Going from EU to Japan is very close the presented scenario. Like you know, threat people with dignity and things work fine ?

Yeah! I am using renshuu[0] to learn Japanese and the UI totally bombards you with information - reading, pronunciation, example sentences, additional information sources, mnemotechnical hints from the community, etc. Not to mention there b

Do not forget the Tokugawa tomb in Nikko. ;-)

How does this usually work - they just set some cars on fire to prove a point and demonstrate they are "doing something" and then just switch to the next boss that comes out of the secession fight ? Or is it more complicated or nu

Just a Linux box on a board with a bunch of SATA headers some sort of RAID ? Still don't understand why people use NAS boxes with all the limitations you describe.

You mean how Russia shipped in Wagner thugs to protect Lukashenko in Belarus ?

Maybe not to starve whole segments of the society and economy of critical inputs ? This is why we have strategy reserves - to avoid greedy companies to make a quick buck when they find out they can sell the equivalent of crack and dump all

Yeah, it might make sense for some industrial processes as natural gas or coal replacement, but not really anywhere else just because all the tricky leaks and invisible fire hazards.
