Same. I haven't tried that many different vendors, but Linux on Lenovo's is by far the most supported of all the Asus, HP, Sony, and random others I've tried. At least with onsite support the technical person understand and k

Hardly. The company still has not owned up to their major fuck up in my book. They are willing to save themselves on the account of their customers. Dead company in the world of security, but might drag on in the scam world.

Stick by their supposed principles, or at least spend money to defend the dude they exposed. Basically they fucked up majorly regarding this specific person and they should spend however much to fight the chaos they have caused.

While what you say is correct, it’s not the main point here. I’m sick of seeing blind Proton defenders on HN, has the company bought some shills to defend them by diluting and misdirecting the community’s attention? I wonder! The issue is t

No it’s not, caved in is the exact perfect word that should be used. Specifically considering the language they used in their promotional material. It is exactly because they’re a company and they must know that they will have to comply wit

At least not defending it. You can find a million and one ways to justify being evil.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. The joke here is that Jack, Mark (and others) already live in an unreal metaverse. These people are so far out of touch with reality that they're thinking about creating an e

Seriously, Mozilla has been sliding steadily downhill for the last 5 to 10 years. Mostly because of people (like Baker) who think that they're 1 level below being holy (if not actually holy). Get off your fucking high horse and smell t

And timing. Sometimes good opportunities are at times when you're not ready for them. We all get some sort of a "shot" but it's very difficult to see sometimes, or to make the risky move of accepting it.

I have a theory that the more people use words like “toxic” or “cesspool” the more likely they are the ones causing and creating it.

I feel the same way about the 90s. If it makes you feel any better, it's not exactly just about the internet or what we modern folk consider contemporary technology. The question of societal transformation to a place where technical kn

Wth is going on with Australian and NZ governments I don't know, what I do know is that people need to vote those suckers out... Don't listen your politicians and do say hi to your neighbors.

As bad as this is for people who use iOS, I think it's good in the long run. People here are getting boggled down in details about how is it possible for this to happen and what sort of policies apple has internally for it to be possib

That's the point. GDPR without good enforcement is useless and meaningless. I'd even argue that all this time since GDPR and until something is done about enforcement if ever (that is not just a random fine, which is considered co

I understand the difficulty in explaining the technical stuff. Partly i think it's also on people to learn a little. Not in a few months and not to become tech savvy, but ust the basics about what the heck internet is and what's

Not defending Google or dude above, but at this point I really can't blame neither Google nor people working there. Almost everyone in a position to affect change is well aware of this and everything morally reprehensible either Google

Why the heck do people still store their important documents (that they absolutely can’t do without) somewhere where they have no control over and where they could be kicked out at any moment is beyond me. Obviously it’s always sad to see s

I get that, but in this case it seems like the opposite. If you have the law then you have a lot of money.

Aside from the trading/financial aspect of the story, why is it specifically about TikTok? I don't see anything specific about what's going there than to what's going on on Telegram trading groups, subreddits, or some Tw
