I think I'd preferred if they offered a USB-C and USB-A combo.

A lot of what you describe is only true/relevant to the US. In other countries access to the Internet is a right [1]. Of course it depends on how one defines what is a "right". It's not a right in the same way that eve

In a twisted way I welcome these news. If they had released a model without touchbar and with improved keyboard I would be really tempted to buy it to replace my XPS. Given their insistence on the touchbar is good way for me to accept that:

It's kind of disheartening to read things like this on one hand and on the other hand read news that Austria "increased the flexibility" of the working pattern by bumping up the limit of what is considered legal to 12 hours:

I don't think they are losing any kind of customer trust. Unless something is really fucked (like both GCP and AWS being down for us-east) incidents like these are not going to impact them at all. The cost of either migrating to the ot

Is it possible to use keyboard shortcuts with the basic view? Or, does anyone know of any addons/extensions to bring them in?

I like the idea behind it in principle, since it will simplify 2FA for the masses and may lead more people to adopt it. But, apart from that: 1. It's only on Chrome (for now(?)) 2. It's only for Google products (for now (?)) 3. It

I think the idea of UBI as it is, makes it an easy target for comments that characterize people as "freeloaders" or trading "something" for "nothing". The problem is that the UBI seems to be coming from the tax

Because both basic income and robocars and going to Mars are either directly or indirectly targeting to increase the profits of tech company X. This combined with the lobbying power that the said company X has, takes away any incentive some

The problem is not with the pop-ups, but with how many dark patterns are involved in getting your consent. They could have made a simple pop-up, in simple language with two clear options and an optional dropdown showing all the "provid

Yes, this is why Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 supports DNS over HTTPS (DoH), to avoid exactly this. You can read more about it here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/dns-over-https/

You are right about the synced folder, and that's pretty much the approach that I was using. But I was keeping my DB in one provider and my keyfile in another, which means that I had to remember (or have otherwise access to) a total of

I only found out about Bitwarden a few weeks ago and it got me to change from KeepassXC and I'm overall very happy with the change. The main selling points for me were that it's open source and they allow you to host it yourself.

At which point should we stop treating these things as bugs and start treating them like features instead? Not this particular thing per se but, you know, it's Facebook. As the recent history has proven these things kind of come with t

I think many people, myself included. For better or worse, Mozilla managed to brand itself as the equivalent of the open internet and an organisation that would put the users first. This is quite important in today's world that's

Maybe I have my nostalgia lenses on, but I think I'd rather have the internet of kazaa era in terms of how things were working. There were viruses? Yes. 37 IE toolbars? Of course! But consider for a moment what we have today instead:
