Apologies, but I don't understand your comment. The original article said X.org is unmaintained. Your comment basically replied "it works for me and I like it, Wayland doesn't cut it". Sure - great opinion - but doesn&#x

It's understandable that 5$ is a lot to some people. Yet at the same time I hope you do understand the realities of what it costs to take even 15 minutes of a support person's time - how much service can you expect for free or 5$

I thought the article mentioned a 5 billion budget? Isn't it the university's decision how much of that to invest in security?

The lock-in with Photos they've slowly moved in is phenomenal. The exporting of originals is always somehow difficult due to random bugs. Lately I've had to resort to Takeout with some relatives to migrate them to Dropbox where th

I think that's incorrect. All the research discussed in-ear headphones that are not noise-cancelling , which lead people to turn up the volume to drown out background noise, which leads to hearing damage. This is relevant to regular A

China is the one example where they've been able to fill the gap. All other markets have failed miserably. And even in China the goal wasn't to create better alternatives (which based on UX or privacy the 100% are not) but for the

In Finland, the authorities reserved 6M to create a contact tracing app and all support systems. They ended up building it for 150k, with 250k more to operate it until the end of next year. Half the population downloaded it in the first da

Could it be it's just peoples values are like that? That regular consumers are ignirant and short-sighted and care more about funny games and easy apps instead of privacy or quality?

This isn't the highly visible anticompetitive behavior which might cause a backlash. Regular people, or even journalists or judges won't even understand what cookie clearing on exit means. If there's antitrust sentiments towa

I've got the A7 which is not supported by this. You can get one used for 200usd. I put on the Sony 35 or 50 F1.8. I've also got a 40usd LED panel for lighting and both camera and lights are on fixtures connected to my desk via cam

I think the post is half right. Right now the macbook webcams get zero help from any computational photography unless your video call software has something like that (e.g. Zoom's background blur). Apple could do a lot more with both t

Doesn't GDPR have some sort of clause against "algorithmic decision making"? So in situations like this you can deny Google automated decisions? Probably not - can anyone explain, who knows the topic?

I talked to a lot of people who lived in the soviet union, who watched Finnish television broadcasts that could be heard beyond our borders. Their parents told them that all the tv ads for e.g. bananas in the 1990s were in fact propaganda,
