Apple adds a lot of value via the App Store for initial app purchase/download. I agree they add very minimal value for recurring subscriptions, and their fee should be dialled back…

Maybe context should be taken into account? I have no problems with people calling themselves doctors (whether fake or real) unless they are doing so in order to gain a certain adv…

1) London, United Kingdom 2) A lot (pretty much unlimited, considering anyone can resell DSL service from OpenReach, the company that manages phone lines nationwide). In London we …

Job hopping every few months as a contractor doesn't seem to be an issue. At least it isn't for me - recruiters and clients reach out to me despite that and nobody ever questioned …

TLDR: this site converts your 24 words into an URL encrypted with a questionable key derived from a pattern and a color (from a dozen choices or so). This doesn't actually solve th…

Doesn’t solve the issue of device fingerprinting. There are a lot of data points that can be used to create a near-unique fingerprint of a device.

iOS doesn’t provide a system-wide unique ID however there is still more than enough data (WiFi network names, device name, device type, IP address, etc) that Shitbook can uniquely …

I'm not sure they have playlists. They probably spend more time tweaking their system than actually listening to music on it, negating the need for a playlist.

I'm not sure what's worse. From my limited observation of flat-earthers on YouTube, they at least seem to be willing to do measurements but then either misinterpret the results (du…

> Groupon [...] pissed me off with retargeted ads, and earned a lifetime ban. You too? Can't believe I'm not the only one. I used to see their crap every single time on Youtube a f…

Where are you seeing this? Here in London I still get way more as a contractor then I would be full-time, like 50% more.

> I have a little developer experience. By "developer experience" I meant the equivalent of "user experience", ie whether the codebase is enjoyable to work with. > I didn’t get the…

In most cases you can use the car port and just make a custom cable that bridges the two data pins together which tells the phone to use high current charging. The car’s port’s ove…

iOS devices will outright not charge if there’s just 5V on the port. Even the lowest charging current requires some sort of resistor arrangement. Fortunately it seems like bridging…

Another problem with Bluetooth is that most devices cater to the lowest common denominator which means even though there are ways to make it better, most devices stick to older pro…

> Who cares if WordPress isn’t a “modern framework” Developer experience? I'd rather spend my way working with Laravel than crap old PHP code written like it's in the 90's. > It pa…

A lot of businesses have custom ways of working that can't be modelled in off-the-shelf ERP software - they need something custom to either bridge the gap or completely replace the…

Meh. Wouldn’t recommend Shitpress. This niche itself doesn’t pay too well because prices are pushed down by so-called “developers” from third-world countries (they are bad, but cli…

Doubt it but always worth trying these attacks yourself to make sure.

LinkedIn is how I got started. Recruiters are always hungry for fresh meat so it’s an easy way to get your first gigs and build relationships with clients directly. A blog might be…

Disable voicemail. This should frankly be the default anyway - voicemail is a relic of the past. Nowadays we have SMS or email for those who want to leave a message. Alternatively …

I disagree with some of them being unused. This page lists some units like “rack unit” (length) and “jiffies” (time). They are domain-specific but not unused by any means - physica…

Good. A lot of meme accounts are just spam, reposting the same crap over and over again with no attribution or credit to the original author. I also can’t feel bad for the people t…

Similar to Pinterest, they pollute search results with pages that ask you to login or signup before you can view the content, despite offering the content to search engines without…
