I would say Hangul is regular, not phonetic. Sounds might change depending on their position when written, but I wouldn't call it particularly complex, certainly not compared to English orthography.

I am learning Hungarian, and I find this much truer than the usual claim that it's phonetic one-to-one. Some letters change sounds in certain instances, but there are discernable patterns, unlike much of English. I find it fairly easy

None of that describes selling data to third parties. The third parties that might receive data as described in this section are vendors or partners, not customers. Apple isn't making money off the sale of data here.

A majority is more than half, that is, more than 50%. Everything between 50% and 51% is also more than half. In a state as populus as California, that might actually matter.

I've come across a few places that accept contactless, but specifically reject Google and Apple Pay, and until recently, none of my cards had contactless built in, so Google Pay was the only way to do contactless. But, I have a Samsung

I find handles and other bolded text are objectively difficult to read. Take a look at a bolded 'e' for a prime example; there is not enough whitespace, and the horizontal line is too thin, making it all but disappear in the middl

Book Reader can reflow PDFs. It is very simple,, which I like. But it adds any PDF you open to the library when you open the app, which I find only slightly annoying for non-books.

I use a terminal pager with PDFs quite frequently. It works surprisingly well. Even something you wouldn't expect, like a pay stub, renders fine in the terminal.

I'm not sure this is true anymore. I bought a new laptop, and I could not figure out how to avoid signing in to a Microsoft account without starting over and refusing to set up Wi-Fi. I am quite savvy, but admittedly I had not used a c

Clever indeed; I only suspected this the second go-round, after I noticed the reload button flicker as I typed. I also noticed you don't have to press Enter or even type the correct phrase to get past the fake prompt. In hindsight, the

As far as I can tell, there is one option for buying the vest: pay $399.99. There are two options for some 'algorithm' service, which seems to me a lazy way to make a product like this. Where is this algorithm service located? If

Not a lawyer, but a bank employee. Steering a potential customer toward or away from a product or products on a protected basis, including in marketing materials, is a huge no-no.

I don't understand this argument. They use food and water, too. And roads. We never talk about banning those, because the benefit to society is greater than the risk.

Interesting. I just have a keyboard shortcut in i3 that uses dmenu to let you select a credential. Very handy as I have multiple accounts for some sites/apps. Plus, the browser extension has its own keyboard shortcut.

Not really. If you authorized a recurring charge, it isn't unauthorized, and you are liable. Most people want recurring charges to continue. Just because you lose your card doesn't mean you want to forget paying your phone bill or

The biggest difference here is that there are processes for evictions and foreclosures. Evictions require notices, and foreclosures require legal processes. Lenders don't attach a device to your home when you sign the dotted line to au

I see two problems with such a claim. First, a practical one: COBOL programs can call external functions[0]. Second, a theoretical one: Even if a given program does not call external functions, they often read data written by other programs
