Why should I know such weird tricks to be able to use my laptop to give a damn presentation? Anyway, it's about two years too late to give me any recommendations about Windows. I couldn't be happier without it. But when people say

Yes, it's especially good when it kicks you out of the Internet connection, decides to restart your laptop while you're rendering a video, or you're in the middle of a livestream, or you're giving a presentation, and let

Isn't this more of a public statement about the report than the link to the actual report that's hidden behind a link at the bottom of all this? The only thing I've learned is that they're a part of some coalition about

Yes. For a while, I've actually tried uploading stuff to small TrueCrypt containers. Everything above 50 MB per container is absolutely unusable for cloud storage. Now I'm simply on ownCloud (well, Nextcloud to be precise) with th

The writer does make some good points! Too bad this got nowhere as near as popular here as those "I'm quitting PGP" posts (for now).

Google already changed that in Android 6. You can install an app and only allow it certain permissions. Of course, thanks to the Android ecosystem, it will take another year or two until a significant portion of people actually switches to

From the rest of the text and the video, I have absolutely zero idea how they are using deep learning here. And let me not even mention that they've used the AI word in the video. So, I highly doubt that attracting the tech crowd will

It is very odd-looking. And it's really slow. It took me 55 seconds to load the page (42 of which went into downloading a 6 MB large GIF). 40+ requests. And it doesn't seem like a slow Internet problem at all.

Pocket also has that feature implemented on Android. EDIT: It is robot-like and nowhere near the quality of the samples that Amazon provided, but it gets the job done.

Kind of. I have a Google account created with a non-Gmail email address. I only use it for YouTube subscriptions (and I'm in the process of moving that to a basically RSS reader) and Google Play. I have absolutely nothing work-related

Well, luckily, my contract does have a clause stating that any party needs to let the other party know in advance that they are leaving the position / getting fired, so I will not have a problem with that.

Again, thousands of users out of 313 million active users is an exception, not a rule. And I'm in the majority here, not a minority. I have never said it is not a problem. In fact, I indicated that it is. But it is a problem that affec
