Having worked with computers before, the explanation I am leaning to based on zero evidence is that there is a bug somewhere, possibly in the tool used to make the determination about which episodes have been 'removed'

Based on Android 12, I'd rather zero years of OS updates and more years of security updates. Sick of each Android update requiring relearning where all the stuff I've been doing for the last year (or longer) has been moved to. And

Does their crypto feud put 'web3' at risk? Or does the fact that it's a meaningless buzzword being driven by a zillion different people all trying to strike it rich(er) with no real interest in collaboration or standards or e

I feel like it depends a lot on what you're using it for. I have a personal domain attached to mine with one or two email aliases that I use for a few things - I get maybe 5-10 emails a week there, so super low volume. I feel like I wo

I have been wondering if, instead of bothering to try to scrape Facebook via DOM, it might be worth pursuing a basic image matching approach to divide a Facebook page up into regular "chunks" that are just saved as images. I'

Also worth noting the longer you wait to upgrade, the harder it can be to do so when you finally need to. If someone discovers a critical fault in the version you're running but you're several years out of date, upgrading can be a

This was exactly the comment I was looking for. I've had to move a lot of data to GDrive from Dropbox before and have been keeping an eye out for tools to help with this. Using Google Colab is the best way I've found so far - moun

Weird comparison. The equivalent with medicine is not 'reading the label', but understanding the chemistry, reading all the research, reading all the associated papers, understanding all the biology, etc. It's reduced to you

Damn, what a blast from the past. I worked in a software retail store for most of '96 and remember selling many boxes of v4. IIRC it was one of the few things that flew off the shelves alongside Windows 95.

What add-ons do you have installed? I've never had a problem like this in Firefox, in the 10+ years it has been my primary browser (on Windows though). Have you done a memory test too? Something definitely sounds broken here.

Is that true if everyone else just starts driving bigger cars? Seems like we'll just end up in a Mutually Assured Destruction scenario where everyone loses, but especially the people outside of the giant cars.
