It's certainly not free to run and maybe it doesn't really make sense for Microsoft to run Outlook.com anymore, except that it's an easy way to motivate people to having a Microsoft account. Outlook.com certainly has to show

To be fair, Outlook.com has always been a bit shitty, if you're trying to deliver email to them. Last time it was reasonably good the service was still called Hotmail. The problem is that we've allowed email to be centralized arou

Probably not worth it, given that the EU caps the credit card fees at 0.3%, 0.2% for debit cards.

Technically I run a tracking blocker, it just happens to block 90+% of all ads because they want to track me. I don't understand why ads aren't targeted towards the content of the page, rather than me as a person, that seems to be

Maybe it's just me, but there's something extra dystopian about surveillance and privacy invasion, when presented with the London skyline in the background.

Honestly I think it's a flaw in the algorithms of the various tube sites. There is no way in hell that having your step-sister stuck in a washing machine is the number one kink/fantasy on the planet. Somehow the sites a providing

OpenBSD famously keeps a lot of esoteric platforms around, because running the same code on multiple architectures reveal a lot of bugs. At least that was one of the arguments previously.

Last time I complained about the pricing of the iPhone, people pointed out that inflation included the prices wasn't to far of from the original iPhone. Still, I don't care that the phones are faster, have larger screens, better c

They probably do that to keep out the dumbest scrapers and bots. They often present themselves as out of date Chrome browsers.

Danes are, according to the internet, in the "don't talk to me ever" group, but I don't think that true. Mostly I believe that's because the areas of the internet where people talk about the glory of self-checkout a

The notch is a bit silly, given that you have the bezel at the bottom, but I guess it could be ergonomics. I believe the phone is designed around feedback for customers/potential customers. Which tells me that other people have very di

To some extend it feels like Google just gave up on search. I don't really share the notion that Google is still better than e.g. DuckDuckGo or Ecosia. In my experience if Ecosia can't find something, neither can Google. However,

In every house I've owned, I've replace the ceil fixtures with those you see in pictures 24 and 25. They aren't special or hard to get, but everyone who notices seems surprised that it's a thing. I'm not sure why mo

Last year, I think, I saw someone talk about trust in Danish society and how it works. As a Dane it's not something I really think about, but I their conclusions where at least interesting. In Denmark you're given implicit trust,

One of the flaws of that system was exactly that you didn't know which domains where allowed to issue the requests for a one-time key. Each service would serve the authenticator snippet from their own domain, with their own certificate

I would recommend getting the hardware dongle. I don't have the app, never did, and I've had none of the issues others have been complaining. The dongle is, generally, a much better experience from what I can tell, except if you n

My in-laws have probably discarded at least five or six Apple devices on that account. Typically they get used devices, with a good number of years of updates remaining, but the updates are pointless when iOS grabs 50% for it self and the a

In line with "the web was a mistake" I think the idea that you can create cross platform software is an equally big mistake. You can do the core functionality of your product as cross platform, to some extend, but once you hit the

$100 per month is a lot of money, in that case "wow is that all?" must refer back to how little you got from it.

You don't want a drop-in replacement for each service, you want one for the entire system. Microsofts advantage is ActiveDirectory integration. Centrally managed users and machines, every user, every application, every service authenti

That can be read in two ways: 1) It's only $100, well worth the money. 2) Surprisingly little value was provide for all that money.

It probably doesn't matter that subscriptions are profitable, when some estimates put the number of users in the free tier at 96%. I sort of agree with you, not that it's the most subscriptions necessarily that will be the decidin

On paper yes. The problem is that they clutter the UI, they trigger at weird times and they turn out to be less useful that they may appear. Then there's also people, like me, who just want the browser to browse the web. I don't w

For some reason it seems really important to these AI companies to get the very latest version of your pages as well, so they'll do anything in their power to avoid hitting any caching you may try to set up.

Honestly I haven't look into it much, I just thought it was funny that this one app would boot the PlayStation... and then crash. None of the other apps does this. To me it's just a funny interaction that should even be possible i
