That's very cool - does it support corporate proxy stuff like PAC files, HTTPS, NTLM, Kerberos, authenticating with current user, etc? For example would I be able to write a rule to capture traffic going to certain proxies and redirect

Do they though? I see the WFH movement as a threat to the existence of my job. If the entire IT department works from home, what's stopping the company from moving it to India, Bangladesh or Pakistan? If you live in North America or Eu

Why? Shipping, VAT and all the customs fees will easily double the price of the product by the time it reaches your door.

Electronics prices in the EU are simply crazy. Recently i wanted to get a small mini-PC that would be energy efficient and I could run some AI experiments on. Reading online forums, everyone's like "just get a mac mini, couple hun

Its also one of the most sketchy and dangerous. If you hop on an escooter, you're not going to find a homeless dude there jerking off, there's no vomit anywhere, noone will assault your wife and you're not getting stabbed nor

That's exactly what the fine was for - apparently I should have displayed a prompt and asked the user if he allows to see a google maps widget. It's definitely my fault but to my defence I've never seen anything like this on

Obviously not but there are some similar stories in local media, in this case it was a google font, but you'd get a similar fine for adobe typekit or whatever else that's located on a US server or cdn. https://www.bds-

If they're in violation of EU privacy laws then how are they not fined for it or outright banned? I got a fine from the local court in Germany because I put a google maps widget on my company's "about us" page, the court

What kind of a bubble do the Ubuntu devs live in if they dont see a reason to show even a single screenshot of their product? What goes through the head of the product manager writing a whole essay and a full extensive changelog but not bot

How do we know it was even him in the picture? It's literally just a jpeg. My conspiracy theory is that the MSS posts a pic of some random dude who looks alike every year or so while the real Jack Ma is currently on the bottom of the Y

I used a HDD connected via USB as a boot drive and after a few days of working fine it suddenly wasn't able to mount it any more, it was something to do with not enough power current in the USB ports. Lost all data and had to reformat

I wanted to check this point and asked Bing to suggest some good business laptops below $800. It suggested me a $2k dell xps, a $1.5k LG gram and some piece of shit chromebook. I guess we'll never have objective product comparisons fre

I'd want an uncensored GPT-3 too and I don't want an AI girlfriend - I just find that chatgpt has too much moral censorship to be fun to use. Want to ask about a health condition? Nope, forbidden. Have a question related to IT sec

It's so true. When I'm in Germany with my wife, I like to take her to restaurants and ask for a real bill at the end (not hand-scribbled on a piece of paper) because I want to pay by card. My wife gets annoyed because this pretty

I'm just shocked at the reaction from the HN crowd in this post. The guy lives in the west but returns to Russia, then blames Ukraine for being invaded, actually kills a teen girl and writes shit about her in the very same post added t

Ukraine. I can't leave, another country invaded mine unprovoked and they are killing my people so I kinda have to stay. I am looking forward to your argument why this makes me a bad person.

Right, but it was after the invasion of Georgia, green men in Donetsk, and the annexation of Crimea? So 3 wars started in the span of 10 years and the guy returns because things are cheaper than in the west. Well, I hope he enjoys his belov

1. Return to Russia because things are cheaper so you will have more money, nevermind the whole war crimes and genocide thing 2. Russia puts you in prison, you dont get a fair trial and you don't have freedom of speech 3. No profit
