> So how can we fix the system? The best way to fix the system is to prioritize websites that are there to share knowledge, not websites with their primary priority to make ad revenue. Which makes it a shame that Google is in the busines

There's not caring about making £50/month from some AdSense code Vs not caring about a £xM payoff. I'll allow them this one.

When they say 'power for all your devices' it's more about hobby projects right rather than retrofitting usb-c to anything? Quite cool option though and I love the flash to program option.

Being pedantic I'd say by volume of HTTP requests it's still true (i.e a single dynamic page load will still bring in multiple static assets)

Absolutely, in 20 odd years my muscle memory still opens notepad and the only thing I would love is some kind of autosave/persistence across devices as I always have a dread when occasionally I lose stuff on a crash or something. Howev

That linked website seems to be overloaded at the moment but I found a good summary here - https://www.rawstory.com/banned-books-in-tennessee/ It's such a shocking and ironic story that I almost wonder if someone

I believe google maps now automatically factors in carbon footprint when suggesting routes now [0] Time will always be a nice easy to quantify way of comparing routes but as someone who generally doesn't have to get places quickly I&#x

Out of interest where do you put your hands if not on the wheel? There's always going to be latency if you need to take evasive action and your body isn't immediately ready to react.

Something to do with where he'd travelled I would guess. I lost an account a few years ago at the same time I was geospoofing on my phone for something totally unrelated. I guess it flagged on Tinder's side and that was that accou

I can barely read your comment as it's been down voted but two theoretical risks come to mind. One being some ML decision maker that scrapes the web to build a profile of someone and decides this person is a criminal. The second being

Absolutely, I occasionally have to buy stock photos and am shocked at how overpriced and cheesy they are. On the flip side you've got hordes of quite talented wannabe influencers putting our content for nothing. There's surely a m

My 90 year old grandma had an outbreak in her care home in Ireland a couple of weeks back. All survived and with relatively minor symptoms - not pleasant but a stark contrast to the reports of care home outbreaks last year. It's maybe

I can't think of anything in my office usage that wasn't available in 2000. Admittedly I've not used Outlook for a fair few years. I still pay £30 or so a year for the annual licence when it comes on sale just to be able to o

I loved that prog, I used to use it all the time - I was often on site as the IT person in non-IT companies and would have downtime etc but didn't want to look like I was lazing around and seeing as I just wanted to read forum threads

Airbnb was amazing to start with, I stayed with some many interesting people and in interesting places. It's a shame that it's now so commoditised.

We have planning, zoning and safety laws for a reason. The owners of a flat can decide to do what they like within those parameters.

What's that supposed to mean? Dutch people can still be self-employed - this ruling applies to one particular employer that has been pretending it's staff are self-employed.

It's a shame how much great technology will go to waste because businesses work against our best interests and pull shit like this.

I guess it wouldn't work with the lab setup, but it'd be interesting to see how various laptop keyboards factor in. My one here has very short travel (similar to a apple magic keyboard) and is the ribbon cable to motherboard conne

I'm surprised it's not made more clear in the article, but it's important to note that as well as being an ISP, Sky are a more traditional subscription TV provider. They have the exclusive rights for most of the Premier Leagu

Out of interest what happens if an image gets flagged client side? If it's a CSAM scanner online that can presumably have a human do a sanity check before informing the authorities. But will Apple have the ability to pull the file from

I don't get that impression at all. The author is annoyed at being strong armed into using Apple ID, on Apple's terms. They speculate about why Apple are so keen on people to adopt Apple ID - not say they actually want to do those

There is a huge market in romance scams and people lose huge amounts to it, most people are clever enough to spot them but many aren't. Now if you're able to intercept a genuine conversation it'd give you a good advantage. Ev
