Who said physical buttons cannot be mixed with voice input? Most physical buttons these days are just an interface to the CAN bus, where the function is performed (in software) in …

The article is about authenticating to a Wi-Fi captive portal. So not only is a VPN irrelevant, as everyone has already pointed out and you continue to ignore, it wouldn't even wor…

Yes exactly like that. You'll notice the Ford Transit EV still retains the traditional mechanical key, and also features a simple locking glove box that works off the same key. But…

It's pretty clear whoever designed this toy has never driven an actual cargo van or done any blue collar work in their life. That Tesla-style touchscreen for starters. I give it 3-…

I'd wager that rotary phone can dial 911 unlike a Google Pixel. Constantly evolving UI thought experiments are largely responsible for the sorry state of software today. Maybe the …

Clinton was impeached for lying under oath, not for his creative use of cigars.

It's a bit naïve to seriously think this story has anything to do with nudes. The real story was about corruption at the highest levels of government, selling influence, etc. The c…

Why would you "routinely flag Twitter threads" if they are not obvious spam, dupes, or egregiously off-topic? You are not a guest curator. There is a reason you cannot downvote sub…

Lots of people talking about ToS as if it's applied consistently and without bias. Let's assume that the oft-storied "pee tapes" were real, published by a mainstream news outlet an…

"Corporate coders" is such a perfect, succinct phrase; the antithesis of what I remember from the early days of Linux. It's so well said it requires no further description.

There has been a cabal of activists that have been mass-reporting the Twitter app on both Apple and Google's app stores over the last week or so, alleging some dubious terms of ser…

This reeks of dangerous propaganda at best derived from circumstantial evidence. Did everyone forget the AP nearly started WWIII a week ago because of a minor editing error? Yet th…

The act of publishing a poll on a very controversial subject may have been intentional. He alluded that the poll was attacked by bots, for which they likely collected large amounts…

Lately I've been getting frequent "Error HTTP 451: Unavailable for Legal Reasons" thrown by Cloudflare whilst using Piped (a YouTube alternate front end used by Nitter). However th…

Compatibility with a terminal from 1971 yet I can't run a copy of Logic Pro 9 I bought 10 years ago - and haven't been able to for years - because Apple.

Gonna disagree with you here. Musk is only doing with Twitter what Fark.com did over 20 years ago with TotalFark - you pay a small monthly fee for admission, and you get a shiny ba…
