Will this finally allow me to switch WiFi and Bluetooth off (instead of just disconnect for 24h) from the control centre?

Yes, but Swiss ISPs are not allowed to share their client's data as far as I know. So there is no way to prosecute. As I said in my other comment, I know people that received the copyright claim letters from foreign institutions &quo

Hmm. Maybe I am overlooking something here, but my understanding was that an important loophole in the (now) past legislation was the fact that ISPs were not allowed to pass on the identity of their customers even when they were uploading &

For people travelling in Europe: The German railway company Deutsche Bahn has the most complete set of international train schedules in their system. This makes it a great resource to search for international connections. Once I even saw Hu

Unfortunately not. But I remember there was some really weird stuff in there. Anything from minerals to insect skins. It is customised to whatever the diagnosis is.

I recommend you try Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I had to drink the ugliest medicinal tea imaginable for a while, but after that my skin problems had miraculously disappeared.

In my opinion we have a long way to go before we actually understand many many of the skin diseases. Dermatologists appear to me as the most clueless doctors out there. Their only weapons seem to be cortisol and biopsies. Maybe I was also j

Exactly. My point is about the double standard we face in our society. In public places we sometimes see over the top health & safety regulations but other potential dangers are being quietly accepted. I am not arguing for more regulati

Recently I visited a historical hydro power plant, which is still operational. The operators were in the process of adding huge shields and fences around the flywheels due to safety regulations to protect visitors. Apparently they had been

Yes – did not find a decent (up-to-date) adblocker yet.

I’d assume so, because activating the secondary GPU means a lot more power consumption and is therefore avoided anyway.

I am not a huge fan of Safari, but it seems so much more optimised for macOS that it has become my default regardless. I mean an hour extra battery life is really nice.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they want to win back market-shares for a few years before choosing less competitive pricing.

These fancy supercars come with "launch control". A mechanism that will rev in a high range (charging the turbos) and then release the clutch with full torque. I wonder if that helps... https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Great link. Thank you. I fully agree with rule 5, which puts this article in a different perspective.

I was wondering too. The librarian that told me about it, is a copyright expert and was outraged. However, it seems like there was not much they could do. I am guessing the fact that this is happening at an Ivy league university means that

Another fun fact about Elsevier: In their contract with university libraries they exclude the right of fair use as described in the US copyright law. That means one can download papers, but technically mustn't use the data found in the
