It is still somewhat big but it is small enough that my wife has stopped complaining that the phone doesn't fit in her hands. But afaik it is the only phone out there with same specs as it's bigger brother. The phone is excellent

So my last reply on this and the nesting is not going further, as it is really very off topic. But your first example sentence is in past tense and implies that the law already has passed (at least that is my interpretation) and the second

Yes, that's not what I am arguing and I think it might be a distinction that is different from my mother tongue and English. I've seen people arguing that "the internet is doomed" as if there is nothing one can do about

But they can still have lunch with members of the general public (including lobbyists) in secret and make secret arrangement then present another argument for their motives in public. If it was impossible to contact a politician in secret t

That's actually quite nice. Looks like all the data brokers will receive emails from me today :) The last company I made erase me was cdon.com after I bought something on sale there and they demanded my SSN to pay with credit cards. I

Yes but the internet was not doomed as we now see. I could have been but it was not at the point in time (presents form vs conditional form). I have no issues with warning people what can happen.

So what I get from this is that the system works. When enough people voice their concerns the people in charge actually listen. At least there seems to be no internet disaster as of now? I usually postpone my doomsday scenarios until they a

Ah I see, I somehow only thought of the MI60 as the MI50 and no "lower" range version of it. My bad! :)

These consumer chips have 60 active CUs compared to 64 for the MI50 so this is probably just the "failed" MI50 chips that are being sold, not something they manufacture to that spec. If they didn't sell it it would have been

Once place they are long ahead on UI is the image search. You can actually "view file" and not "view site" as google had to do after that lawsuit from getty [1] But having said that, it is very annoying that they put a l

Yes, if you buy digital and download the content you can't refund, but that's about the only way you can "give up" the right i think?

How on earth did the providers of such convince the NHS? They are by large considered quacks and has been ridiculed on state TV (NRK, our BBC) numerous times.

I think this is common all over Europe. You also have the "right to regret" so within 14 days of buying stuff online you can cancel and refund it no questions asked by law. In fact, in my country there is also a requirement that t

And now all the companies will charge you 1 cent for the "free trial" so that the card can be "activated" and then refunded. I see that already from many including our country's national rail company.

I used to work in a bank where we had to specifically implement routines for when visa reused the PANs... There was a period between the old expiration and the new issue and not common, but it did happen from time to time.

Yeah I know it's supposed to be more efficient too. But thanks for the link to the openbsd port, I'll definitively look into that! For some reason I thought it was only implemented as a linux kernel module.

The only way I was able to remove ads from youtube on my devices with dedicated apps was to purchase youtube premium. I use the service so much I don't really mind paying for it.

I have basically the same implementation except it's running on my dedicated openbsd router using openvpn/unbound/pf and scripts. It doesn't support wireguard though but openvpn should be equivalent? I know the wireguard

You can siphon off much more user data from an app than a webpage, besides you can pester the user with notifications! The users love that. I bet there are plugins for firefox mobile to remove those animations and nag window. Basically the

WTF. Why are these machines on the internet? I have one ordered that will arrive in a few days, I really hope that I can turn that off. I don't want any "internet of things to be hacked" devices in my house.

The forecast increase is probably a direct result of the layoff and they needed it to "meet the quarter". I have the quarterly cycle. I find it extremely bad for both the society and companies when nobody takes the long term view.

In Norway, staying at home with kids and managing the house is counted as work and you get "pension points" for it just like a regular job. But they do not appear in the GDP figures of course.

Same in Norway. In periods of "low order" for things like shipping/mining a company may put the employees on leave that the government pay, but this is only temporary. It's a method to avoid hire/fire waves.
