You lost me there. Which version of Windows will install the monthly cumulative update without a reboot? Server 2016 (and older versions of W10) are horrendous for updates. You can have servers stuck on "configuring updates" durin

I had completely forgotten about WAP, but i remember using a WAP browser of some sort on an old Sybmian Nokia now i think about it. Before add-ons worked with Firefox mobile (and I could install ublock), browsing the web on a phone was awfu

I use the app on my Sky TV box sometimes, and it's actually a decent experience until you try to watch something. So I rarely do. If they toned down the interruptions I would probably use it more. As it is I just revert to a device wit

You need an ego the size of the sun to expect everything to revolve around you, so it makes sense at least.

The UK already knows he talks out of both ends. His name is toxic here, Facebook oviously don't care much about converting more people in the UK to the cause with him involved.

Well lets see how well that attitude works out for them. They are barely addressing the problem currently so unless some serious changes are made governments will simply force their hand and compel real moderation of the content they allow

Rogan says whatever it takes to keep his core audience on board, when he isn't just parroting the opinion of the last person he spoke to. His core audience are conspiracy theorists from his early days, which has a very big overlap with

Some corners of the internet got annoyed a women was working as a programmer for Mozilla and took things a bit too far. Turns out it gets dug up by the same haters under every post about Firefox.

I wonder about nukes being of value during "day-to-day" diplomacy. Does even NK really go into negotiations with China for access to oil or something with the argument "sell it to us or we nuke you!". I only see it as a

I wouldn't call Instagram influencers the "little guy", many are millionaires (either off the back of social media or old school Kardashian style). They milk their fans through unregulated advertising and get richer. With the

Yes, the ability to block parts of pages is handy too. I've not taken to blocking whole sites yet. But sites with "recommendations" attached to every page are a real distraction. I block them on stackoverflow, otherwise I end

It is key for desktop motherboards, at least AMD ones where they reuse the same socket over multiple CPU generations. I bought a motherboard and a new AMD Zen 3 CPU together recently. The motherboard wouldn't POST because the BIOS was

Sensible working hours and good productivity require good management. Working extended hours like "996" is just brute-forcing results. You need teams with clear objectives and project plans so employees are able focus on a task wi

The way I see it the entire Crypto space is not valued in USD but USDT. And who knows what USDT is really worth? Some lucky people will manage to cash out to USD, but current valuations will crash.

Governments currently have a critical lack of ambition, they have been captured by global corporations and made to believe only privately owned entities can solve complex problems. This is why software engineering looks like an impossibly h

I think the concern this shows for workers livelihoods is something that much of the rest of the world could learn from. The implementation seems a bit inefficient though.

On the criteria of "legal manhours" the internet was ruined by Facebook/Google et al long before the GDPR was around. Plenty of other options for their lawyers to abuse.

Yup, ISPs in countries that got a nice big block if addresses in the early days can still manage this. I have a cable connection that was originally provided by NTL (now Virgin Media). My IPv4 address changes about once a year now as they d

Hydroxychloroquine has a mountain of side effects worse than COVID for most people, and very little (if any) positive effect. Maybe UV could help in some way, but was this ever going to be a real solution? I highly doubt Aytu BioPharma was

For some media organizations the fear mongering accusation is true, others much less. I agree it's tiresome to tar them all with the same brush. Of course everyone needs to treat sources of information with a bit of healthy scepticism.

True, however HN is designed for fair civil discussion. It comes down to the goals of the site owner. Do they want to create a community and moderate accordingly. Or is it simply a way to up the time-spent metric through readers having a pe
