Do famous paintings/artworks count as securities? Some people like to invest in them, and there are lots of “fintech”s offering fine art investment as a service

Raivo was bought by a shady developer last year and is no longer open source. If that wasn’t enough, a few weeks ago they released an update which deleted all your codes - failing at literally the one job a 2FA app has!

It does, and it really annoys me! I use English 99% of the time, but it decides I’m using another language about 50% of the time I start a new sentence! There doesn’t seem to be a way to turn it off, either.

I haven’t seen any coverage of technical details of how the buggy software might have made fraud look possible. Does anyone have a link about that? A priori it seems a little implausible to me that any software could make such a mistake in

The government student loan system in England effectively uses an income sharing agreement: with the most recent version, you pay 9% of your income over £25,000/year and if you haven’t finished paying it back within 40 years, it gets f

Not a website, but the iOS default weather app is very well thought out. It makes me wonder why other weather apps don’t present it like that. It’s a shame the actual forecast data aren’t the best (at least here in the UK), and I do also wi

I personally can’t stand Debian/Ubuntu because of how opinionated and out-of-date they are. It’s great for stability but if you’re continuously using the OS and want to keep it up-to-date I find there’s less overall breakage with a rol
