I find Kagi pretty good - I'm UK based. I upgraded my phone a few days back and when search defaulted back to Google I realised how worthwhile my subscription is. It's not all perfect, for instance I would love to figure out how t

This is the sort of idea that gets momentum just because people don't find it easy to recall counter examples on the basis the idea puts the problem: most people aren't mentally indexing tech on a weaponized or not basis. Therefor

Without power they could use backup sources but without telecoms isn't payment going to be difficult to impossible? (except those who had sufficient cash before the emergency)

Yes, annoying. The article feels like it's building to a point and then they end with effectively: lots of people tried them, they're not so popular now. The End.

Assuming you have the requisite CPU and motherboard with this card, does the memory just appear as normal under Linux/Windows/whatever OS is installed? Or do you need to get special drivers or other particular software to make use

Ah the Silver Jubilee Mugs, we had a grey one with that weird bumpy ceramic effect. Anyway, on the cameras you're spot on. I do wonder how much UK cameras are used though - like a microcosm of our national potential, the cameras have p

Prices vary around the world but this seems pricey: they say it's at cost but it feels like a premium/markup on London prices, not a city known for being cheap! Surely most people dropping work to focus on blogging would be lookin

The tool capability is really impressive. The model is good too, although unforgiving of typos! (hardly surprising given the small size) When I had typos it would suddenly become rather literal

The colour corrections are also annoying when you're trying to take photos of things like cuts and bruises as you want an accurate record (eg to show a doctor) but instead it effectively says "let me clean that up for you" an

Interesting because this empowers the user rather than making us the product - we need more of these use cases. The one thing that seems unfortunate is the choice of name: Piper is already in use in a fairly related area, as a text to speec

I wonder what people do in that one area they are so often reticent to discuss: porn. The (non-scientific) impression I have is that people don't tend to use porn apps, they stick with porn websites. Therefore, do people basically know

I think you may be missing the point: preventative treatment is typically much less expensive, for instance behaviour and dietary changes do not require drugs at all and avoiding some conditions can be helped by drugs which have long since

HSBC had famously terrible systems when I dealt with them for a mortgage years ago - they were so bad that the staff I spoke with pre-briefed me on the range of issues their website could suffer from. The best was that certain sections were

It's going to present interesting challenges. The scope to overlook/ not address certain things could easily make this a mess. For instance the difficulty distinguishing apps to install on your Android phone and a Google Watch is
