Also, for tourism they aren't exactly welcoming to western culture. They don't even allow trans or non binary people (X) to transit to other places at dubai or abu dhabi. Can't have your cake and eat it.

I love old terminals and I still have a VT520 which is still very practicable, it can do up to 115200 instead of rhe VT-100's 9600. But most programs ignore termcap these days which is a huge issue. Running stuff through tmux helps but

I understand how this came to pass (I didn't know it before so thanks for the insight!) But as a customer I absolutely hate working with AWS tech. Their stuff is a mess and I feel like I shouldn't have to get my head around their

One of the things I find about AWS is that every service UI feels different. It's like every service was designed by a totally different team. For all its flaws at least Azure has consistent UI.

Somehow Apple has always been able to sell their stuff as somehow Magic. Remember the megahertz myth? Apple hertzes and apple bytes are much better than PC hertzes and bytes because they are made by virgin elves during a full moon.

I really hate it when the browser UI gets hidden. It loses me several great features like the ability to open multiple tabs. Or have a bookmark directly to a subpage. Unfortunately some other features are only available to PWA do it's

With all this AI I really wish there was one that could watch videos and podcasts for me and do a decent writeup for me (and I don't mean a transcript! But a readable article with a decent flow in it). I have ADHD and zero patience for

For an app that's supposed to help people relax it can certainly cause a lot of stress. Ps I have access to a subscription through my Revolut card but I don't find it very compelling. I much rather use plain nature sounds through

Where I lived the paytv encryption just removed the sync signals and audio and by finetuning the TV you could get a fairly clean black and white picture. It sounds similar to Discret 11 but it wasn't quite the same. Only with a major s

It had a pretty bad flaw: the spring contacts being on the device side, causing wear and tear there. USB-C moved those to the much cheaper to replace cable. The little strip in the middle makes cleaning a bit harder but does provide for mor

No they use them because they are addictive, intentionally. But they reinforce negative emotional content because it is more engaging. This is what causes all the polarisation in society, what gave us Brexit and Trump. See for example the b
