The big problem isn't friendliness, it's that you don't buy a laptop with it installed. Most people are not realistically going to install a different operating system, they're going to use the one the laptop comes with.

If transport costs to a library are the limiting factor here, that's a person who's also unlikely to be able to responsibly buy other forms of entertainment though. Say it costs $10 transport to the library (probably an overestima

Then how is it some websites (I think the one I'm thinking of is The Sun or The Mirror) paywall the decline option? Presumably this is just illegal?

Yes but the only thing better than being compliant is being compliant twice over so there's absolutely no debate about compliance.

I always wonder why sites like Anna's Archive (and a lot of torrent tracker sites) don't provide .onion addresses. I imagine a significant proportion of their traffic comes from the Tor network, and onion addresses don't have

Using Tor browser and running a Tor node are different things, by using the browser you are not contributing to the network, you're just accessing it. If you're worried about someone using your network connection for cybercrime yo

I would love it is my phone and laptop had hardware switches that were on the power or data lines for the camera and microphone, it's all well and good the software telling me the things aren't on but unless it's open source

Honestly I found it the other way around, learning to drive made me a significantly better and safer cyclist as I realised what drivers are expecting to happen, and actually had to learn the rules of the road. Before I learned to drive I di

If you want the "it just works" experience, you can still buy the Apple products though, that's not changing. You just also have the option to not do so.

But this isn't sacrificing your experience, you're free to keep using your Apple AirPods with the quality and reliability you'd expect from Apple. This just means other brands can create products with similar features to AirP

CSMA/CD only requires that you back off if there actually is a collision. CSMA/CA additionally requires that for every frame sent, after sensing the medium as clear, that you wait for a random amount of time before sending it to a

Is avoiding a collision always preferable? CSMA/CA has significant overhead (backoff period) for every single frame sent, on a less congested line CSMA/CD has less overhead.

Where I'm from (a relatively rural country) they just get treated like give way signs you'd have on a country road, the larger road generlly has priority but as it's not clear they'd be more cautious too.

This is a shining example of why I will never upload my ID to something I do not want publicly associated with me.

I do really wish they still provided port forwarding, I understand why they don't but that was really useful and the only competitors that seem to don't exactly seem trustworthy to me.

Not sure where you are but no one has ever done that to me. I usually would go through self checkouts so someone just comes over, takes a quick look at my drivers licence, and puts in their employee id into the machine to authorise it.

Would you not also say that the US government violated a trust given to them at the time? The government has such an imbalance of power compared to one person that it's only fair to hold them to a higher and much more stringent standar

In real life the situation is different. When I buy alcohol, someone looks at my drivers licence, does not make a copy of it, forgets it quickly, and cannot tie it to other information about me. As soon as it's online and it's cop

Google only allows email changes if you didn't create it with a gmail address. When I found this out years ago I immediately scrapped that account and created a new one with a non gmail address before there was too much on the original

Ireland doesn't have 0 military capabilities, they have enough of a military to conduct peacekeeping missions elsewhere, which they don't need to do. They just don't have the ability to defend an invasion, but they do certain

Santander at least used to not work, I haven't tried it with the new app they launched. The old app certainly wouldn't work and I was told by customer service there was no way to access it on a phone with an unlocked bootloader.

That position's not uncommon, but generally people who hold it prefer the rust style trait/interfaces system. To me it makes more sense, I don't care what this object is so long as it guarantees to provide me with certain fun

I mean the solution really is a comprehensive permissions system, for an accessibility system that needs to read notifications you should be able to deny it network permissions and whitelist which app's notifications it's allowed

Rust's solution to this is quite good, that's 0..9 and if you want to include 9 it's 0..=9, it looks a bit funny but knowing one with an = sign in it exists removes any doubt

It's not unheard of near me in a rural area to have a diesel generator in your garage as the electricity's unreliable just enough of the time, and especially given working from home is common nowadays losing electricity for 6h now

Just vision is a very reductive way of describing how we drive. We use sound to hear if something else is coming and where from, or if we're losing traction on the road, or if the road surface has changed. We can judge acceleration and
