We have a big dumb LG 60PB560V 60" plasma TV connected to a dedicated x86 Arch Linux box with an AMD GPU. It's just awesome experience. Kodi, TVHeadend, MumuDVB. If I were to buy a new TV again, I would definitely want an OLED one

It's nice but then the other side will wait for you to return to the call. I actually though that Google Assistant would talk with me during the hold time and attempt to resolve my request by caller-defined Frequently TalkedAbout Topic

Not long ago, CF has been blocking access from Tor. And they are blocking access from my web crawler sometimes. I don't like CF as they act as a police or gatekeeper to the origin website, deciding who to penalize and who do not, while

There is also a more broad article about ad fraud I found interesting https://clearcode.cc/blog/rtb-online-advertising-fraud/ I can imagine that ad fraud prevention must be a hard task, probably requiring AI/

I don't agree with color selections in the article. In majority of examples, I like "non ideal" better. Their "ideal" ones lack saturation, sometimes there is no enough color difference between the segments and thei

Thankfully both Arch Linux and Gentoo have native Chromium and don't require Snap. I can recommend them to everyone. Arch is more practical for everyday use though as compilations take time.

And what about deaths and respiratory problems caused by burning fossil fuels? What about CO2 used to produce solar/wind powerplants? How to recycle retired or failed wind/solar powerplants? It is pretty ignorant to just look at c

Shifting time for everyone and everything was a bad idea. For example you wouldn't like being in a train during time shift, wasting one hour just because of this...

I have read that vitamin D deficiency can play a role in starting multiple sclerosis. I was years working mostly indoors, not seeing sun much and then one day my eyeballs started flickering and I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Maybe

It is pretty bad that they started Degoogle page with largely Google-unrelated privacy-focused extensions which break websites and sometimes do more harm than good. For example ClearURLs by default disables ETag header which is very importa

I have heard Russia decided to build more dangerous reactor types like the one in Chernobyl because they are cheaper + they could use the same radioactive material for nuclear weapons.

The choice is important. About 20% of apps on my Android phone come from F-Droid marketplace distributing free software and some of them are not distributed via Play store at all. And then there are Amazon App Store, Galaxy Store etc. (devi

Developers then asks users 30% more so in the end users pay it. It's the same with increasing government taxes - at the end of the day, the end user ends up paying those. :)

Interesting project, thanks! But it is also important to mention AdsbExchange as the data source. They have quite a big expenses on AWS to keep it running and unlike FlightRadar24 or similar they doesn't censor any aircraft or take blo

The problem is the Apple, who owns the whole platform is deciding here on behalf of users. Taking 30% is like paying taxes to IRS. At the same time look at Apple's marketcap and tax evading practices in Ireland. Why is there still gove

That's why in different industries there are third-party independent, trusted entities. Apple controls it all completely itself.

Anti-phishing and malware mechanisms should just be "recommendations" to users and not straight blocking and banning. It's sad people don't see that difference. Browsers warn you about potentially harmful websites but st

And what about giving people choice? Androids often come with locked bootloader and users can unlock it. Unlocking permanently deletes all user data. Apple is not giving any such choice!

That's the price you pay for being lazy and using closed, proprietary technologies and acting on their marketing. Like GCP and AWS were the only clouds there. Like you had to have everything hosted by them under "planet-scale&quot

People should be able to install alternatives. Microsoft was forced some time ago to give people alternatives to built-in apps so why Apple shouldn't. I would also like to see VP9 supported on iOS and alternative web engines in additio
