Disclaimer: I'm from Germany and work in the automotive industry I think he is partially right, at least when you define innovation as being mainly of digital nature. There have been lots of improvements on the mechanical side, cars ha

If you'd build a genuinely smart city completely from scratch, the most elegant way would be to completely remove the need for own cars. But that's obviously not going to happen when its a project designed and financed by an autom

Because in many large companies, it's IE or Edge. If the company has upgraded to Win10, you're probably required to support Edge.

To be fair. The claim that it makes you more secure by masking your IP is wrong. But securing you connection in public Wi-Fi networks is probably the main VPN use-case for the average user.

> VPNs do not make you anonymous. A shared VPN might give you some plausible deniability but it's hard to trust that your specific traffic isn't being logged. That's true. But unfortunately, a lot of product placements on

I don't think this is a reliable indicator. When you take a look at the target market of discord, it becomes pretty clear why no one really cares about the data being decrypted. The main audiences for discord are gamers and massive op

The majority of users leverage these technologies for a reason. If you use cross-platform technology you can simply reach a broader audience and in the case of a commercial product, generate more revenue with only minimal additional effort.

From reading the PDF, bringing your university id with you is sufficient. You do not need an official passport/etc. A student id has a lot less security measures, they're basically just rfid cards with your data printed on. Assumi

Are you sure this applies to open source contributions? I always thought this would only apply to commercial side projects or inventions. Open source contributions don't seem to fit in either of those categories.

Its not like this is the solution for everything. It's not even about ease of use, its mainly about the availability of software. About 80% of the software my colleagues use on a daily basis is not available on Linux (not including MS

That absolutely makes sense, thank you! However, I was wondering: How good is the LTE coverage across the U.S? Germany has really bad coverage, even along the Autobahn and train tracks with high traffic. And Germany is pretty small when com

I think I'll try that. I guess that'll work for LinkedIn/Office as well? However, not sure if the BYOD policy will like that.

Yeah I see why prices differ from country to country, but 10$/GB seems ridiculus.

Wow, and I thoughtmobile data in Germany was expensive. I pay 8€/m for 4GB. Although the LTE coverage is pretty bad with my provider.

It absolutely depends on which "Pros" your targeting. A software developer obviously has different needs in terms of software than a video editor or UI designer. I use Windows at work and at university. My private desktop has a d

Thats what bothers me the most about my Samsung phone. Facebook came preinstalled and I cannot uninstall it. I can only deactivate (whatever that means). I don't use facebook, I actually never did. Its not the fact that I'm loosin

Honestly, I never thought that I'd be defending facebook, but I honestly think its a bug. It always takes some time until the camera is initialized and the first frame rendered on the canvas. I bet the Instagram app, Snapchat, Twitter

Especially considering the OEMs advantage when it comes to vehicle pricing, maintenance cost etc. Uber seems like an odd investment. Waymo seems to have the advantage when it comes to self-driving tech, although its currently only tested un

That reminds me of the so called "Niedertarif-Speicherheizung" (storage heater) that were installed until the 80s here in Germany. They used the comparatively cheaper energy during the nighttime to heat up and then emit the heat d

If you ever stood close to such a huge windmill, you might have realized that they are actually pretty loud. Even if you're inside a house, there is a constant noise from these windmills, day and night. I understand that they are neces
