Interestingly enough, this is almost exactly how ISPs do it when they really want to get your attention. A couple years ago I forgot to update an expired credit card that I used to pay my spectrum cable bill. One morning every DNS request r

Safari does not block a user from visiting dating websites, this is true even if a dating website is illegal for the user to access. Repressive police states do not limit themselves to only targeting people using dating applications versus

Maybe, but lots and lots of software applications are not even close to being hardware constrained or in this specific case Rosetta constrained. If you're trying to get work done and you have the computational overhead available, this

That's a bit dismissive. I use android and iOS devices regularly and of all the options facetime is what I use the most for the following reasons: 1) The latency is very good, which is critical for a comfortable video chat experience.

>Allowing…will end up with users having less choice, not more really Yeah, also war is peace and ignorance is strength. People should be allowed to make “bad” decisions, if they can’t it’s not really freedom.

For various reasons, Germans have taken a different approach to housing vs the US and most of Europe. Home ownership is in the mid 40% range, vs 65%+ for the UK and US. Housing there is seen more as a cost than as an investment, with most p

Probably just numbers. There are ~2 million farms in the US and ~200k in the United Kingdom. As an aside, I love UK produce and when it's available to me in the US I'm generally quite happy with it. France probably makes the best

The warranty for most residential solar inverters is around 10 years, though often prorated towards the end of that timeframe. 7 years does not sound crazy, though with good cooling and and decent quality it's probably a tad low.
