Yep. They'll just sell a dongle for the remaining accessories, just as they did with 30-pin.

So Europe needs to start making supply factories, too. With a fab, that's still difficult, but necessary. Without a fab, however, that would have been deemed impossible and unrealistic.

Exactly. Malaysia can still be a partner, however this is a big step that opens the door for replacing labor in distant countries with another EU neighbour. This is good for the entire EU.

Similar experience here, but when using the mobile app. My bank in my country of origin also used to use a token, but they changed to a "token app" in the phone about 10 years ago. However to authorise this app I had to use an ATM

Bullshit. The number of jobs that require OSS contributions is minimal, and I've never seen that requirement for anything close to an entry-level job. This is people doing resume padding and making it worse for everyone: OSS contributo

I also worked at a SEO company but not with a goal, although I also left there disgusted with the practice. The issue however (IMO) is that there's SEO at the article level and SEO at a strategic level. At the article level, it is inde

That's a good list. This one seems more up to date, apparently the owner is scraping from somewhere: https://github.com/dotspencer/block-admiral

For most customers, it seems they just went and bought about 2 thousand randomly-named domains and serve third-party scripts. However I've seen a couple places where Admiral was not blocked, because it was being served from a subdomain

Yeah, the industry is definitely moving to that. Admiral, probably the most known ad-blocker-blocker already successfully circumvents PiHole and other DNS blocking by being served by the same domain. I also expect Google to double down on C

I remember TomTom being a lot better than the competition, though. Most other units were terribly slow and sometimes borderline unusable. Not to mention the updates... not software updates, but the map updates. I still remember my parents,

I find that this happens mostly due to career expectations. Gotta stay up to date to get the recruiters chasing you. But when everyone else is also up to date, gotta stay ahead and be an influencer/evangelist. > Ask yourself this:

Well, going with "technology that fits your requirements" is kinda how we got the problems that led to this article being written. New unproven tech will, more often than not, still fit the requirements perfectly.

Well, Discord also has its own styles of memes and things. And 4chan is actually also made of multiple communities, like other people said. Reddit is probably a closer comparison, or maybe Facebook, with the difference that Discord requires

AFAIK the conspiracy theory memes have a far and wide reaching, even internationally, even if the people receiving, translating and forwarding them have no idea where they originated. With that said most young people I know is familiar with

I don't think so, grandparent was definitely talking about general consultation, and on your second post you clearly say you mean that all but the most generic kind of consultation is a fireable offence. But happy that we got to a comm

Not really, we can't. You can still use a framework for the frontend in an MPA website (and you can have an SPA without a framework, although that's rarer), so the distinction still makes sense. FYI: Tiktok seems to be an SPA with

Output audio transformers would only be required if it also had a tube power amplification section, but it seems it was never advertised as being 100% tube anyway. It would also need 4 output power tubes for Stereo Class-AB operation, plus

I don't disagree with you in general, but I don't think it's fair to characterise the sentiment as purely simply anti-SPA. There's a lot of people that dislike the SPA-as-default movement, where simple websites could be

That seems like the only reasonable option these days. Got a reasonable problem with a small business, or even a bank? Just go to the nearest branch and talk with a reasonable person. Got a minor issue with a tech company? Godspeed and good

From the description, it actually reminds me of Internet Explorer toolbars in terms of functionality, which were quite common bloatware. I don't disagree that there's new interesting features that can go into browsers (like Safari

Good hunch, but in my experience, availability of trained staff was never really an issue in practice. Hiring well trained university faculty was always purely an economical problem. Universities often already have a trained surplus of facu
