The counter argument is obvious (but hated by marketing department). If people loves their adds so much, just let them opt-in. It should almost bring the server down from people pressing the "give me adds" button if you are to bel

In Europe, many of the VWs execs are prosecuted over this. In the US the exec got 7 years in jail if I remember correctly. The company itself was fined €1 billion (not enough imho) in Germany. So this actually happens, and I agree that exec

It's very dangerous. I've been "dry" for about three years now but I still have to fight the urge from time to time!

Azure DocumentDb (now called CosmosDb) also has "MongoDB compatibility" i think so it's not unusual to advertise it as such.

I'm intrigued. I'm not in the market for a new phone right now as the one I have does not mess too much with android either. But for the first time in 15 years I think I might consider a Nokia next time I go shopping...

Isn't this just the same as disabling them from the apps interface or does it physically remove it from the system partition? There is however one I can't disable in my sony phone (what's new) and even if I've managed to

Here in Norway we have two mobile networks (Telenor and Netcom). Telenor is the old state company like BT, that used to be called Televerket. They also own most of the physical lines like in the UK. Netcom is the only privately started comp

Maybe they miss the sound MCs make after a couple of hot summers in the glove compartment :) Personally I have many vinyls but the only MCs I have (2 boxes full) contain ZX spectrum games. I wonder how many of them still work, I haven'

I also use kdenlive quite extensively and while I get a crash here and there, KDE asks me to restart the app and it then loads the file with the last edits. I don't think I've ever lost edits. I've done about 25 hours of 4k s

NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation like the BBC) and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute has made yr.no (webside [1], apps and open api [2]). It's government owned so no data collection. I'm not sure how useful it is outsi

Maybe not $300 but I can get a sony xperia xz2 compact for 3000 NOK ($345ish). Sony makes the cameras in many other phones including iphone. I have the larger version, but my wife has this and it takes excellent photos.

Since a marriage is a legal binding there are procedures for a divorce. You need to live separated for one year to have it approved for one thing. And if you have children under guardianship you are required to attend family counseling or s

This sounds ridiculous to me. So if someone snaps a photo of him or he is on TV the tattooist is going to get royalties? That goes for anyone else that is tattooed as well.

While probably not for the average user, my father is using a mac pro and mbp quite heavily for photo and video, and he's using a synology nas with time machine enabled. It's been working for a few years now without problems.

But will those billions bring my children a happy and stress free life? It might. Or they will fight over it, get pestered by the media, have people beg for investments etc.

That sounds ridiculous. I also don't live in the US, but in my country we are encouraged to not vote or "vote blank" if we don't agree with any of the parties. It's a way of expressing your displeasure with all of t

Yes, for now. I know I'm rather pessimistic, but I don't think it will stop there. The credit card part is probably a dream scenario for banks though, to only let people into shops that have an active credit line and not accept ca

I wonder how long it will take before they employ regression algorithms to screen those entering the shop and deny those deemed "not safe". They would probably be like the police crime prevention algorithms in that they would inhe
