If you used an optical connection track breaks would make it into the copy. At least that’s what mine did, but it was still slow (real time).

It's possible that it might be easier to tamper with these than other ballots, but there must already be countermeasures in place to deal with these types of issues in a large scale election. In Australia, each candidate is able to sen

In their example voting form there is a list of candidate names with a bubble next to each. How can someone “fill in more bubbles for (their) candidate”?

I learnt Dvorak well after school years. The hardest part was sticking to it during the first couple of weeks of horrible typing speeds. I mainly use QWERTY now because it’s convenient, but can easily switch back and forth.

Does anyone know whether they got unlucky with 3 simultaneous failures, didn’t notice earlier failures, or had some other issue that killed all the drives?

I like seeing underdogs create something better, but a failure like this just holds everything back. Prices will be higher, and the need to compete on quality/performance will be lower.

I prefer using other devices for videos/gaming/etc. For something to listen to music, order a car, view maps, communicate or browse a web page it’s really perfect. Fits in a pocket and can be used with one hand.

I think it's a delay loading the images - it's scored by poo emojis. It took a few seconds for that to be visible when I visited the page, initially only showing as large dots.

Yeah, I agree. The older versions would pop up a warning and force you to acknowledge it, but it felt like something that would have driven away casual users who maybe didn't understand or care about the implications. In saying that, t

Signal does this. It’s explained in detail at https://www.signal.org/blog/safety-number-updates/ . The last section of that post specifically talks about the notification shown after a reinstall (i.e., safety numbe

The number is yours at that point, think of it as creating a new account with that old number. You don’t get to know who the previous person was messaging, see their contact list or have access to any of their messages. But if they message

The lock expires after 7 days of inactivity. If the existing user is still logged in to the Signal account with the old number, you're effectively locked out. Otherwise, you'll be able to claim the number after a week.

Signal does at least allow you to require a pin which must be known in order to re-register your phone number. Does this mitigate your concern about phone numbers being stolen? https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/a

I would also spend a similar amount on an upgraded SE. Current phone lineup (not just Apple) sucks IMO. An untouched SE with latest radio and faster CPU would be worth the upgrade for me.

Visit an audiologist for a test. I recently had a hearing test for the reason you described and was told there were no problems. I started to ask people if they could actually hear or understand while with them at a loud place and many told

The major downer is the lack of a quality small screen phone that supports current-day phone networks. If the SE was updated with the latest modem, it would be wonderful. A CPU/RAM bump would be welcome but not strictly necessary. Leav

Are you sure about that price? It looks like it’s $50 per year allowing for custom domain, $30 without.

I’m not sure, though not allowing “crypto mining” specifically is also pretty unusual. In this way, they can protect their power industry and still remain attractive to other businesses who might bring other benefits to the area without hav

It sounds good to people who don’t understand how mining works. Since this argument has been made however, they could make local prices contingent on number of jobs. If you consume x power employing less than y local employees, pay the expo
