I have some hope that the EU will outlaw promotional push notifications that are not opt-in, similar to email spam. As it stands, push notifications are almost entirely useless bec…

Newer cars do see around corners (relative to the driver), using the rear cameras. When backing out in my newish car, I can see up and down the road in both directions, from the ca…

Bitcoin has a great use case as internet native money, which can be thrown around programmatically, without being reliant on any private, corporate, or nation controlled services. …

Well, if the police was asking for the private keys that protected my million-euro stash of drug money... I would have 'lost' them too. In that vein, I wonder if they keep an eye o…

Just another example of the army readily experimenting on soldiers with novel 'treatments'. Want to test some new unproven medical technology? The army will hook you up. Thousands …

So some questions: > with the privileges of the Bluetooth daemon Which priviliges is that? Can it access user data? Snoop on input/output? > For some devices, the Bluetooth MAC add…

Have you compared with other BT headphones? Because in general, BT headphones are great and I understand that people love them. But Airpods are not among the better ones in my expe…

Someone recently pointed out to me, that if your idea of bliss is to just lounge and do nothing, you might be depressed. Certainly if you hate what you're doing so much that the be…

This is more of a deepfake for text chat than any kind of useful tool. That said, it's still pretty cool how far you can get with just trying to context match a reply based on prev…

'Rags to riches' is not appropriate, as she did not end up rich, only pretend-rich. Even her jewelry and fur coats (by no means items of wealth) were sold to cover debts.

It's not a dead end path, it's not far from how Unity works (of course you may consider Unity a dead end path). I think your stance is needlessly puritan. At some point, the progra…

Yes, it seems he was pretty hardcore about it. "Go ahead, publish it." Since J. Edgar Hoover, it is has been an open secret that blackmail drives the upper echelon of politics and …

Going against the grain here, but, why so sensitive? A simple suggestion is not an insult, a sign of unthankfulness, or in itself denigrating the author's efforts. I got the same v…

The "Arab Spring" was just another power projection project, you only need to examine how many so-called NGOs that ran the social media campaigns were directly or indirectly funded…
