There's encode and decode latency as well, but I've been able to get the total latency to a data center about 200km from me to around 30ms or so with some solutions. Was good enough for some non-competitive gaming for me.

The worst are the sites that don't have a fallback. If the new CAPTCHA decides you are a bot because, for example, you are running a VPN or something there's absolutely nothing you can do. Has happened to me two or three times.

I'm not a big fan of hCAPTCHA at it's current form. The challenges seems so much harder than reCAPTCHA ones and I keep failing them. The images are just extremely low quality. Maybe I'm a bot.

Blind and colorblind people still know what color the sky is. It's impossible to live long enough to register on a website and have never heard that.

GoToMeeting claims end to end encryption[1] and in the same sentence say it's just SSL just like Zoom. Never the less they offer call-in as well so end to end becomes impossible right there. I have serious doubts about any conference s

I'm usually not the one for conspiracy theories and this is most likely just media outlets fixating on one topic for clicks, but sometimes this just feels like a smear campaign against Zoom. I'm sure a lot of these issues could be

You can find the links to their App on DWD Website German version[1] seems like they've already implemented the ban. The warnings are free, but you have to do an in-app purchase of 1.99 to see the forecasts, etc. 1. https://

Seems like the number is about 7MB[1] per font, looking at a real world example. 1. https://imgur.com/a/iMHYtjB

How is it Russian in any way? The app has been banned in Russia for more than a year now and the creator/CEO Pavel Durov is in exile from Russia.

I'd say the redesign actually makes Reddit usable on a 21:9 screen not the other way around. I mostly browse text based subreddits so entire paragraphs becoming one long line which to read you have to move your head is more annoying. T

I really wanted to like Evolution, but I could never get it working on arch linux with i3 with gmail. Worked great back when I was using Gnome though. Thunderbird didn't have this problem for me.

I've always thought of these glorified mopeds as suicide boxes. There's no way you could survive a crash against a real car in this thing.

Not necessary. I think what allows "winner" apps to exist in modern world is that you can really use only one app at the time. Especially true for Smartphones. The way I hope AR to develop is that all of the small components (the

I personally don't see this becoming a problem. At least the way I have imagined AR being. The way I hope to see it is that all the different features are apps that you can either enable or disable and then the AR platform (e.g. the OS

If I understand correctly the "people around you" is decided purely by distance. In that case is there anything done to avoid seemingly nonsensical conversations for a random observer? With this I mean if two people are in distanc

The steam store is basically a monopoly by now. And that removes their right to be overly picky, in my opinion. They have full power to act as a censor and limit the right to free speech. If they weren't as big I'd agree with you
