    I disabled this 'feature' a while ago when I saw it on Twitter and forgot about it. However, recently I noticed that Twitter has been able to bypass the setting and was showing me …

    Amazon Kids+ is also a really good option for younger kids. Got a large number of games for a few pounds a month. All the games are ad free and IAP free.

    Yeah I'm confused by this article. I've got a Virgin Media TV box which used 25w while on standby. Maybe I'm doing the math wrong but: 25w * 24 * 365 = 219000w or 219kw per year. A…

    I use DNS66 and have done for a few years. Works really well with Chrome on Android. If you frequently use a VPN it means you need to remember to switch it back on.

    Did she need to do anything after clicking the link in Discord or was the exploit completely automated? My kids have just started to get in to Roblox, not bought anything yet but I…

    So that's the c6g and c7g but x86 instances are still on c5. Will AWS ever release an x86 computing instance again or is this just a sign that x86 has reached peak performance on A…

    Yeah, that part confused me to. I'm pretty sure that if I bought a stolen xbox from some guy on a street corner and the Police find me with it, they'd not throw up their hands and …

    Yes, you are right that an enterprise agreement is probably the safest approach and it's definitely something we have looked into since the beginning of the year. In our case, one …

    I think that when CF say unlimited bandwidth they really mean it. I manage a domain on the business level plan for a domain and I pushed over 1PB through it in January. Not a singl…

    Cloudflare only charge you the icann fees for most TLDs and don't make a profit on the same. If you fancy saving a few dollars over another registrar it might be a good place? You …

    Really interesting, will R2 support lifecycle rules like S3 does? We write around 90 million files per month to S3, if we could replace that with R2 and have the files automaticall…

    It's supposed to make everyone feel like we're on one big 'virtual office'. Of course, it might be true that in a real office anyone can come up and chat when they feel like it, th…

    Just during meetings? Since January my office (~30 people) have needed to be on our webcams and headphones on 9-5 each day. The headphones are so people can ask you to quickly jump…

    I've come to accept that it's just a cost cutting measure for larger tech companies, why offer users an option when you don't need to? It costs extra to document, test and offer su…

    My 6 year old thinks that the screen goes black in some shows because that's when the exciting part is about to happen. Of course, it's actually where the program would normally br…

    This is something that should be possible to detect through certificate transparency logs, right? The article says that the site has a valid certificate and it should have been pos…

    The last time I looked at BB S3 API they didn't offer the lifecycle controls that AWS over. Mainly the ability to remove old versions of files after a period of time and we didn't …

    At $JOB, we have a similar issue with static content. We serve over 1PB a month and the price AWS would charge to use CloudFront is an order of magnitude larger than even a Cloudfl…

    Most housing developments in the UK require a certain number of 'low income' housing. These are normally smaller houses which are either sold to low income people or the local gove…
