Yeah, true. I forgot that, even Steve's letter on why they wouldn't put flash on the iPhone. That was the final blow, yup. But the web was still a clunky mess of plugins, broken standards, and browser-specific hacks. Google pushed

I'm not so sure about that, I bet we'd probably still have Flash, Java Applets, Silverlight and ActiveX controls. The web was a mess before. The recent capture by big platforms is more about taking you out of the web, into their s

Chile, so I'm curious whether this is a local oddity or can be replicated elsewhere.

The closest I’ve found is a curated feed of X (Twitter) accounts: MDs, researchers, journal subaccounts in your field of interest (from Elsevier, Wiley, Springer...), plus sites like Medical News Today or MedPage Today. Sometimes good discu

Thanks for putting this so clearly. The way you laid out the argument really helps us make our case here in Chile. Our laws are already more in line with Europe (proportionality, duty to retreat, that kind of thing...) but we do have parall

When some of my banks issue a new card in case of loss, they keep either the same numbers (except for the expiry date or verification code) or do slight changes (last 4 numbers) Subscriptions linked to any of these cards fail to renew, so i

Yeah, I usually don't keep reservations for an entire trip either, just the first couple of days if it's a longer stint. And usually the border people in all the countries I've been -including the US- only care about that, th

On a general note, so far the cases I've read about are often when their story deviates even a bit from their stated purpose of stay. So if you say vacation, you better show hotel reservations from start to finish dates, return ticket

Some software packages that allow you to manage iOS devices on Windows/Mac without iTunes, make backups and the like, have this function to let them use your Apple ID credentials to download single IPAs without using the App Store. I p

Just want to chime in on indie open source: I'm seeing many projects from chinese coders on Github since ~2022, I've come across some useful tools, mostly in the LLM space like OpenManus or Cherry Studio, but also documents like S

Thanks a lot! Just wanted to say that for me, no Chromium install is complete without Little Rat there. Very handy, thanks again for that. For those who want to check it out, it's an extension to monitor/block network access of ot

Finally! No more going to the ancient account to restore some really old purchases. Now, not sure if I should keep separate accounts still for different countries. I know you can access the store from another country, but the switching is c

Finally. There are many countries with laws in place for things like these, it's just that the enforcement is so lax given the tolerance.

Yeah! I devoured the entire series of posts in one go back then, I had no idea about all the people and their ties. Plus it was a super engaging read, I could imagine being there.

In Temuco particularly, it does get worse than cities like Beijing, which is quite something. Fortunately only happens during winter, at its peak.

I hate that at times, it feels I'm postponing the same outcome. I was able to come back to 30mg Vyvanse daily, 50mg made me super impatient, fight with my gf and just be short-tempered with everyone, plus the productivity window was al

Yeah, but at one time it made me dismissing of real deals that could be found at that target price you saw at first, and I was missing out. At one point I thought the website was excluding me from some prices (and there might be some truth

Bring back the forums, flickr, good old chatrooms and the DIY web as alternatives. Reject anything that mandates your real ID. Reject any attempts by politicians in your respective countries to copy this kind of stuff, that includes laws &q

Well, the Redmi segment from Xiaomi is known to cut corners to give you the feature-packed phones at a low price, usually they are the least consistent experience compared to flagships and POCOs, their other cheap brand. Same warning goes f

Why are they attacking it so bad? They are a good thing, is this a state actor, are they looking for something or they just don't care?

Hey! Thanks a lot for Telik. I installed it a year ago to keep a local list of the channels I follow since I didn’t want to self-host a full server-based YouTube solution or download all the videos. Sadly, some channels have been closed by

Well put. I like Kaspersky and share the opinion that there's not much they can do but operate within their geopolitical constraints. It's a pity that the world has come to this, but as I'm neither Russian nor American, I hav
