It doesn't take a genius to see that if you build a product in which people can artificially boost their rank, you're gonna get a whole lot of shit. From the get-go SEO's concept has been to inflate the value of the content w

American media as a whole is exempt from truth, quite literally. In Canada, you cannot knowingly lie on air. It's illegal. Why do you think we don't have FOX

Smartphone cameras are the new diapers/tampons. Every year more megapixels, more zoom, more cameras, more absorption. Does nobody think to focus innovation elsewhere? Am I really the only one that makes sporadic - at best - use of my p

If I may, you mention one of your duties is to help people find your content. In that spirit, I'd choose a better filename as PDFs generate no preview from meta tags and the link alone is not explanatory when shared.

I think you're missing the connecting lines here: with the Steam Deck, Valve made significant investments into WINE emulation and Proton development and all of those dependencies needed for its product that are also applicable to deskt

I don't know that cars have SIM cards that are constantly exchanging information... most of what I have been exposed with what a data dump obtained during (official) service that is then sync'd with the vendor. SIM card would be a

For sure, it's an expensive gamble. For me, I took my car from the dealer to the tuner on day 1. We actually found some factory issues like turbo hoses disconnected. Then I replaced a few parts for compatibility and performance and tun

Solution: tune it right out of the shop and never bring it to your dealer for scheduled maintenance. Would love to finally see the hacking community pay some attention to infotainment systems. Cars are becoming like PCs or phones, pre-bundl

Yeah. "I know it's not right, but it's not totally wrong and probably better than not doing anything" actions as maddening as the behaviour he describes. A world where that's the standard would be chaos. When you wo

These "how it's pronounced" thing are funny. It's pronounced how it's written, because 99.999% of people won't bother to figure out what the correct, non-written pronunciation is. If you can't pronounce it

Yes, but we're doing the same thing with industrialization. The US is past the stage of factories so we'll deny everyone else factories because we deem them too pollutant now.

Hah! My bank did this too before I went on a trip - it blocks Interac transfer requests from Wise, and will hold your outgoing transfers until you call to validate, calling it fraud. Gotta love using your own anti-abuse processes to stifle

Yeah but I don't see that put forward nearly as much as all the camera tech they keep updating and promoting. I was just in Italy and they have building-sized promotional posters zoomed in on all the cameras at the back of the phone. A
