A more cynical take than the rest of the replies here, but the truth is my bosses all love graphs and charts, doesn't really matter what they are for. I pepper them into tools I make just to ensure they're happy. If you've ev

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't really want to be just sitting in my car tapping my knees while the car drives for me. I'd rather these guys just focus on building a Euro spec model of the R3 and getting it over here.

No, it arrests several thousands of people every year for breaches of the communications act(s) - this could be for online harassment, stalking or trying to defraud people over Facebook messenger. It's the equivalent of 'wire frau

It's funny because there's a comment about the cabinetry being expensive despite it just being a 'bunch of wood' but actually if they opted for the right wood panels instead of the standard veneered chipboard used in a l

We've got a few Withings Steel HR watches in the house, would be interested in doing exactly the same with those. Perhaps I'll spend a bit of time digging around.

In my personal opinion, you're normalising technology that has overwhelmingly more benefit to creeps than to non creeps. So even if you're not a creep yourself, you are helping them.

I used to think it was pretty great but now it just means you can't plan your usage across the week. It's a slightly entitled complaint but when you 'waste' 80% of your remaining usage because you get a reset you weren&#

People are posting on this very website and commenting on Reddit using AI. I can't get myself into the headspace that would enable this behaviour. What exactly is the point of not engaging in conversation yourself and getting a bot to

I've been using a Withings Steel HR for 10 years now, the battery still easily last a month, activity tracking is good and has some basic notification support. I can't imagine having another thing to charge daily.

This person is free to think this, but I don't think I agree. Personally I'd prefer something to be done about cut/copy-jacking where you try to copy a highlighted item and your site or application decides to copy something e

Incredible stuff, absolutely love it. The only thing I don't like is that I've got absolutely no reason to use it.

What type of crime though, the US has substantially higher rates of violent crimes and those are the ones personally I would rather not be the victim of.

To be entirely fair though, this is a policy set by the organisation and not Microsoft themselves.

As an aside, I'm always surprised how US Gov websites look like they've been made in Dreamweaver in about 2006. Not even seemingly with a emphasis on usability either.

Broadly speaking any organisation facilitating piracy is implicitly a criminal one. Piracy is a pretty large field though and the economics of say a streaming site are going to be very different from running a torrent tracker. The fact you

Depends, Tesco (the UKs largest supermarket chain - one of the largest in the world) on average net about 2.5-3% profit on a given year and they have to do a lot more than pump out a game or two every few years.

I'd assume most of the big supermarkets have a 4-5 host cluster with the small local stores having a 2-3 host cluster. You've got the software to run the tills sure, but also the loyalty card system (which seems to have a local ca

It just goes to show that people have very different views. I think when I hear people thinking out loud (ums and ahs) it's a marker that they are actually engaging with the question, thinking through an answer and not bullshitting wit
