The app gives you control over things like the color space, codecs, lens correction, LUT, etc., as well as better monitoring and manual adjustments. For that reason I think it’s not really useful to show a straight out of camera comparison,

For as far as I know, Chrome on Android has no support for plugins at all, whereas Safari on iOS does support plugins, including adblockers. I don’t see why Chromium would support plugins on iOS, since they obviously benefit from the fact t

In the Netherlands selling magic mushrooms is illegal since 2008 (after some incidents), but magic truffles can still be legally bought online and in shops. Buying spores and growing magic mushrooms yourself is still possible and completely

With WSL 1 there is no Linux involved, it’s a Windows subsystem to handle Linux system calls with the NT kernel. I sort of get the name in that regard. WSL 2 is just a tightly integrated VM running a real Linux kernel, and the name makes no

In Dutch we have the word “boswachter”, which means something like forest keeper. In old Dutch it was probably spelled “boschwachter” or something similar.

That might have been the original reason, but right now most plans come with unlimited text messages in my country and that didn’t entice anyone to switch back. iMessage is great when all your contacts own an Apple device, but if not, your

It can be toggled on and off in the pull down menu, wherever you are. It also detects when something else is playing and can lower the volume to a configurable level (or turn off completely). Other than that I can’t think of any, but I lik

They’re actually complaining about the fact that it still keeps some wireless services turned on when the device is off, for example to find your phone or to use nfc for public transportation. I don’t think anyone complains that it keeps tr

Can’t you just use airplane mode and toggle wifi off, both in the control panel? Together with airplane mode, the wifi toggle does actually turn WiFi completely off. I believe that airplane mode even remembers that preference. Or do you hav

You mean that it's cumbersome to have it hidden behind a key combo instead of it being its own physical key, correct? I get that, because it would slow you down tremendously. At the same time, if those letters would be physical keys, i

I've become a paid Kagi subscriber because DDG (UI for Bing search, as you would call it) didn't cut it for me. One of the most annoying things was that it often ignored a crucial part of my search query and only delivered very ge

It actually works very well with private browsing. You just need to have the extension enabled for private browsing (in iOS 17 that's a separate switch) and tap on "get your session link" once in the extension menu in Safari.

I've used DDG for years before switching over to Kagi and I was accustomed to having to use the !s bang daily (and !g before I found out about !s). On Kagi I literally never use it, since it already incorporates Google search results a

At a given shutter speed, the sensor gain is exactly as high as you would expect it to be at f/1.5. It’s just that with the much smaller surface area of the sensor, the signal-to-noise ratio is way worse.

Same experience here from another European user. I've only accepted the bare minimum to be able to use and update the TV and its apps. I haven't seen any ads ever, or not that I can remember anyway. Not even recommendations for TV

In The Netherlands you have to report the total value (in euros) on the reference date because we have capital tax instead of capital gains tax. I don’t believe that you have to specify your wallet address(es).

I believe that the comparison was between blocking the tracking script with and without a stand-in.

It’s different, as Decentraleyes hosts a local copy of libraries like jQuery, while the new Firefox feature is about emulating tracking scripts with a minimal set of features to trick the site into thinking it is present.

I think the question was which of those trackers have a stand-in script (could be a subset of all blocked trackers) and what the stand-in script looks like.
