Ok, lets look in context. In 1920 records were kept about beeing a jew. It was perfectly ok, no harm done, some record no one cared about. In 1942 those records became mortal, sponsored by state. Should we talk about anti-gay laws? One day

At this price just doesnt matter what size of display is or anything else. It is like selling toothpicks for 10 dollars. Yes they are usefull, yes I would like to have them, but the price is so overblown that I would feel stupid if I would

Similar issues from my side. Cryptic documentation, bad dissorganized forum and configuration,... I love the hugo idea but to find one detail you will get into chaos of strange wording and noise. I am using it but I try to configure as smal

On the other side, you have software that doesnt have promised features, is late etc. Bussiness side should always work with engineering side (which is more than not an exception) and the engineering side should never reveal what is possibl

... and is quite a funny statement. If "our" engineers dont "complain", then someone is not listening. Or you have really bad company culture / recruiting / engineering. The DUTY of engineer is to complain to b

My answer would be: as the things are so broken, that I sometimes wonder how anything still works. Flawed cpus, memory, motherboards, operating systems, hardware, not to even go into userspace/web software full of lasigna frameworks th

Exactly. I am running android with microg without any google software installed. I cope with it, I had to reverse and patch banking software as it was using "safety net" but it works perfectly with few smali gotos added. If you ta

Well as a work machine in enterprise environment you want to have data under your own control and Google not even fails to deliver, but it is increasing security risk for your data (corporate espionage on USA government level is just one th

And those are the reasons I use phone calls, sms and email. It is more than enough to keep contacts and to arange where you will meet in-person. For distant relations I prefer email, I always loved a well formed letter where sender has actu

Sorry, but this is the device I will not buy. The tv I have bought was a mistake, it is my last smarttv, next one will be a monitor. Anyway, why would companies bother to install LTE module, when 99.999% of people will just plug the device

I really hate speeches like that. They are always told by one permile (or even less) of people that succeeded. The voice of all those that have lost are never heard. Same as blockchains, there are a few very loud people explaining how easy

I am following simple logic: either there is lifetime license (I dont mind paying more) or I am not buying. What non-lifetime license is saying to me is: "We dont have enough features to develop for the future that would convince you t

I agree and even further: you cant trust security features by the company you got phone from. It is conflict of interests. On android at least you can remove google completely and use 3rd part application firewall like netguard, that is ope

There is just one open standard. User having root access to the IOT device and scripting there whatever it wants. Any 3rd party dependence is a way of collecting and selling data (google and fitbit acquisition) and should be prohibited. Vot

Maybe just a detail for USA workers, a brief explanation how some things work in some EU states, as an alternative to union, much softer one, but it has teeth (as an extreme, it can get CEO to a jail). I am 8 years (elected, 2 mandates, aro

You can call it industry standard but it is blatant exploitation of workers and their rights. It is also breaking one of basic human rights, right to work, putting them into situation where they are slaves to the company. Someone in EU shou

What really is about here: the selling point of OS is software running there (which was proven by windows) The more it is a moving target, the more costs are on developers part to support old versions and follow the new OS releases. And the
