In these women’s world dating is like Top Trumps but they bring along an unofficial card set for themselves where their attributes are far higher than reality and the cards the other player (the man) gets are all scored lower than the offic

Haha this brings back memories. It was an absolute mess 3 years ago when I did it - an hour on hold only to find out you’d been given the wrong information, “you have to sign the downloaded form and fax the form, no email” that kind of thin

Anyone got any idea about how they might bridge airgapped computers like they mention in the article? I’ve heard theories before about out of human hearing range audio signals acting as initiation/connection signals to laptops and that

Just wait... if scientists figure out how to live much longer lives (but at a great financial cost) you can guarantee boomers will spend the money and live as long as they can rather than passing on any kind of inheritance. I've explic

I think this article is a medium at best quality article about this important subject. If this article seems biased and it probably is a bit, that shouldn’t take away from the reality of how these attention seeking narcissistic people on bo

I wonder if just the existence of this is evidence of an offence under the Computer Misuse Act? Sure it failed but the attempt was still made.

Wired has completely gone down the toilet compared to its glory days. This article is just another example of how their thinking is political points scoring first, journalistic quality second and technology detail last. Sadly politics is in

I'd not touch Netflix shares with a barge pole. They're a great tech company but their original content, on the whole, doesn't do it for me to keep the subscription any more. I think I'll be subscribing again in the wint

Unfortunately, people like him and consultants who will be interested in doing business with Google will be the ones that politicians listen to. I'd personally do this to solve the problem: 1. Separate Google from Alphabet and separate

If this helps fund the little guys over the big guys and steers well clear of political sites I'd pay this amount without concern.

I had to use Windows Phone for work whilst at the same time as having both an iPhone and Android phone. The Good: The OS was absolutely rock solid Battery life was amazing Office 365 worked great The camera hardware was excellent The Bad:

Fair play for the dog fooding on Teams. Simple solution on Grammarly - MS should buy the company. It’s a definite example of a tool to make SME’s more effective and I’d love to see it rolled into Office 365 rather than the current cost.

I'd happily pay as long as: 1. It also funds Thunderbird. 2. Their focus is on privacy/no telemetry, security and overall experience. NOT more rebrands! 3. It helps pay for continuously updated blocklists, miner blocking lists, an

Maybe it's time for the really interesting referendum - the one that asks if we want the UK to exist as it does now going forward? Pick your future from: - As-Is - All on their own (complete dissolution) - England, Wales and Scotland r

Agreed - I’m ready to completely move away from Windows and it’s insane telemetry and patches to Apple but the only thing stopping me is the MacBook keyboard. I’m confident I’m not the only one.

This sums up the situation perfectly.

I’m a longtime Windows laptop user that will buy a £2k MacBook Pro as soon as they fix the keyboard problem. Until they fix the keyboard there’s not a chance I’d buy any of them. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Even if they have to put the p

This was the ultimate point of the EU’s approach- to make it so unpalatable that countries with weaker economies would not dare to try.

Apparently, socialism for all is the answer when he... 1. Chooses to study to be a doctor in one of the most expensive places in the UK rather than staying at home and studying locally or moving up north where rents are significantly cheape

Here's a sample of what the UK could do to help (but not definitely) save itself in the event of a no-deal brexit: 1. Set corporation tax lower than any EU country. 2. Create generous startup investment vehicles that are open to EU sta

Until about 2 years ago I'd been a subscriber to Wired since about 2000 and for some reason I realised that I hadn't read any for about 3 years and they were gathering dust in a pile. I decided to start reading the oldest ones wit

I'd read previously that Lineage's DNS is hardwired into Google's DNS due to Google tying their DNS into pretty much everything. Check out the comments here: https://www.xda-developers.com/e-google-free-lineag
