Low-Code tools like Retool allow you to do this. They have the same limitations though (like inflexible layouts that don't adapt to different screen sizes), which hurts especially on mobile.

... even better, if you can work with a single monitor, buy a USB-C monitor with built-in dock. They give you USB-A ports and sometimes also Ethernet. Dell has them in every size.

It always amazes me that what is getting downvoted depends on the time of day. I have seen comments that got downvoted in the morning (presumably by Europeans), only to get upvoted later in the day (by Americans). And other comments are pop

I'd try to find ways to make Mozilla a better browser, instead of trying to convince people with ideological arguments, which is obviously not sufficient for a mainstream browser. Things that could convince me: - automated clicking for

No, but you need an identity card (which looks pretty much like a drivers license). Unlike passports, every citizen has one.

For younger kids, the Amazon Fire 10 kids edition tablets are nice (nearly indestructible, cheap, parent controls and a lot of content if you subscribe to Kids+). If you have several kids, you can get 3 Amazon Fires for the price of an iPad

I also don't think that they would completely abandon it, but if non-targeted advertisements are not generating enough value, they could switch to a paid subscription model. They would certainly lose many users, but as all competitors

In the end, you need to decide between features and stability. You can certainly write a very stable, simple app without all the extras that make it complex, stuff like Google Cast. But unless users demand it by paying more for a simple but

If Tesla has no dealerships that offer HU+AU inspections, almost 100% of all Teslas will go to the TÜV without prior inspection by a dealership. But even owners of brand new Dacias will typically let the dealership take care of it. That&#

Certainly true, but when German brands have similar issues, it will never show in the statistics. A 10% fail-rate would bother me if I bought a Tesla, but I know that there were German cars with extreme reliability issues that never showed

The 10% is not as bad as it sounds, because the author fails to mention that these statistics are heavily in favour of expensive cars with a good dealership network. And Tesla has no dealerships at all, as far as I know. When you own someth

If websites block ALL European users because they don't want to deal with GDPR, users don't have a choice either.

by tjansen 5y ago
No, as a site is not allowed to block users who do not agree to tracking cookies. The result is that many sites will rather geoblock all users than implement GDPR.

Yes, but why can't I decide for myself whether I have something to hide or not? I don't have a problem with people who want privacy. I can also imagine situations in which I would want privacy. But what if I don't?
