I would have bought a Framework laptop but here were the dealbreakers - Ancient Intel processors - AMD option seemed to be accompanied by broken wifi It's not that hard. Just provi…

Web Attestation, cryptography to the rescue.

My prediction is that Apple will start to use attestation (device check) to lock down iMessage. The problem is that this would require a software update for older devices.

What is an example of a "semantic layer" in this context.

It is also possible to configure device IP addresses directly with ARP https://jetdirect.printerdepo.com/en/hp-jetdirect-print-serv...

I don’t want these features. This will inevitably break certain experiences. Some features like query parameters are part of HTTP and shouldn’t be tampered with.

The current Broadcom is actually a spin-off from HP. This spin-off (Avago) has been on a massive mergers and acquisitions spree over the last decade. This culminated with Avago buy…

You are not able to use it until it is empty. You are paying for X pages a month. If you have printed X pages, you need to pay more. You don't need to use the subscription model to…

I think this will ultimately result in more and more companies bypassing the UK. The CMA has proven to make arbitrary decisions unrelated to real competition concerns. While the EU…

AirBnB is a terrible platform for users. Recently a host charged me a cleaning fee, left me a negative review about not cleaning. I requested that the cleaning fee be refunded, sin…

I had a similar experience. Airbnb still has not refunded me, and the negative review is still online. I doubt I will get a refund. But I will certainly never use airbnb again.

Wouldn't it be good for the company to let these RSUs expire? How does it benefit the company to make sure these exercise?

Russia has the most nuclear weapons of any country, the largest airborne assault force in the world, the best missile defense system in the world, the second most nuclear submarine…

In 2014 Russia annexed Crimea, and parts of the Donbas became controlled by "separatists". Ukraine is currently not close to retaking Crimea.

If Ukraine somehow takes any Russian territory (defined as post 2014)… it is almost guaranteed nuclear weapons would be used to stop the Ukrainian advance

Vietnam doesn’t border Russia/USSR, and Vietnam isn’t a former Russian territory with millions of native Russian speakers. Western countries need to ask themselves: is funding a ma…

I am a pretty loyal HBO max customer, despite the troubles with the service. The content is just too good. I thought this would be about B-tier content. But Westworld? Arguably HBO…

HiDPI support and fractional scaling are simply must-haves for anyone with a computer built after 2011.
