I can understand the French/European's perspective because American companies, especially the GAFAM titans, do have a lot of power and influence. I'd say these companies are among the most powerful in the entire history of ou

Absolutely satisfied with Firefox. I wanted to use FF for years, mainly for ideological reasons, but didn't because next to Chrome, the performance wasn't there. But the changes Mozilla did in recent years convinced me to come bac

I still think Firefox should compete against ChromeOS because more and more of what we do with computers can be done in a browser. This is something Mozilla should think about. There's a market for something like Chrome OS (digital sig

For email, there's Fastmail, which is great and the web UI is clean, simple and fast. If your phone is supported, you can install LineageOS on it without any Google apps.

There's a lot of hype about Netflix, but beside Stranger Things, and some "old" movies here and there, I'm not that much impressed. After I watched what interested me, I cancelled my subscription.

They survived the cold by building shelters and houses with the materials they could find, for example; native american longhouses. In warmer climate, I heard the temperature under trees, in the jungle, while being humid, is much more toler

Going forward, it's clear that humanity, in order to have a desirable future, will have to consume and waste less resources and will also have to think about the number of people on the planet. Being forced to consume less because you

Reminds me of Syd Meads paintings, which are absolutely awesome, too. When I listen to music from Tycho, I often daydream about some alternate future in which this is all reality.

There were rumors not long ago about Google working on a game console or streaming service.

You seriously think this is about making the world a better place? It's about money. Private businesses don't care about Chinese citizens. They care about cold hard cash. Now, am I saying private US businesses shouldn't wor

Many Chinese, like Americans, want to make their home and the world a better place How about respecting human rights? That would be a start. Technology can help for some things, but past a certain point, "making the world a better pl

there are things more important than profit I don't think our civilization has suffered enough to really understand that. The current state of the environment is a good example.

I think what Gates is saying is that, while the "bits and bytes" economy is getting larger, perhaps lawmakers are still thinking in the terms of the "old model" which Gates indicates is obsolete. He then says: That has

I got this pair from Uvex: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000USRG90/ref=oh_aui_detai... What I like about them is they cover my entire field of view. They're not really fashionable, but I only wear th

With the amount of data Google has and the predictability of human behaviour, I would not be surprised if there's some hiden program inside Google with the aim to predict future events before they happen.

I bought some anti blue-light glasses on Amazon and they really do make a difference. 30 minutes after I put them on, I start yawning. If I took them off the effect is jarring.

As far as I know, except for a guest account, there's no local account on Neverware, so you'll need a Google account to use it, which is unfortunate.

I guess Spotify (or Deezer) is the better option since they aren't trying to lock you in their ecosystem and they're available on every platforms, including Linux. Also, I think they nailed the UI, Spotify Connect is great (also w

The reason I often don't finish articles is because there's too much fluff and "story telling". Just go straight to the point and give me the facts with the context so I can understand the information. I don't need

I think that's just the process of getting old. I'm 32 and remember fondly the 90s-00s when I discovered the internet, bought my first iPod at like 400$ cad (lol), but these days I find that I'm losing my interest in tech, es
