This is a dishonest analogy. In your example, there is only a limited amount of cookies available. While there is no practical limit on the amount of time a certain digital media can be viewed. You are allowed to take one cookie. But you ar

This is related to Firefox unwilling to add support for WebUSB because, I suppose, they believe that a browser is not a general purpose application launcher and the scope of what it can do should be limited. As such, it should not be allowe

I am not surprised. Considering only the main segment, i.e. Model 3 and Model Y, there has not been any major innovation by Tesla for years. No significantly better battery technology. No significantly more powerful or efficient motors. No

The only ad blocker I have used for the past couple of years has been uBlock Origin, more recently combined with SponsorBlock. There has been two or three instances that I can remember when it did not block YouTube ads correctly for a coupl

The below remark is unrelated to the main topic of this thread. Why would you even watch a YouTube video with ads? There are ad blockers, sponsor segment blockers, etc. If you use them, it will block almost every kind of YouTube ad.

I think that the most fundamental issue with ads and more generally with provider-curated content is that they represent what the advertiser or the provider wants. Not what you want. Even if the ads are heavily personalized, the adver

Those numbers are meaningless unless you specify what you get in return. It is like saying that you pay $30,000 for a car. But the most important question is: For which car? Also, if the installation services are so expensive, you can alway

I would imagine that communicating within urban areas might be possible via some kind of a mesh network where e.g. every phone would act as a node that can forward the packets further. Something like that should be possible over WiFi I assu

Those APIs have already existed. So it is probable that they already had a documentation. Sanitizing an existing documentation for public release might take notable time and effort if there are 100s of endpoints. But I would assume that is

If you would like to talk about piracy, please define it first. In my opinion it is unclear what you are referring to because many people have different views on what the term piracy actually means.
