    It's incredibly unlikely, but not entirely unforseeable that enough sensors would fail at the same time for the same reason. All four engines on the 747 BA9 failed at the same time…

    Meanwhile the hinge in my £600 Lenovo ideapad broke after 4 years of carrying it to university pretty much everyday. After a quick phone call they agreed to fix it free of charge (…

    If you are not using or planning to use sub-domains, the only issue is that you cannot use CNAMEs. This is nearly a non-issue as many DNS providers offer ALIAS/ANAME/ACNAME records…

    Why not? I have a chrome extension to darken and/or invert webpages and PDFs, and I have SumatraPDF setup white text on black background for editing LaTeX?

    What a load of hyperbolic rubish. To suggest that Youtube is cheating the music industry out of at least 60% of its potential revenue, a figure a couple of billion less than Google…

    Deciding who can see what content based upon User Agent is nothing new, it's why User Agents are such a mess in the first place.

    It looks sleek but the lack of physical buttons seems pretty bad from an accessibility perspective. And it is another always on screen that will inevitably always be a little too b…

    Had a little play with it and it's looking really promising. I'm probably going to stick to the terminal for simpler stuff, but this tool will definitely help pry me away from Gitl…

    This is pretty much exactly what I have been looking for. I recently ditched Google Analytics and all other possible third party resources (except for YouTube which I implemented a…

    I wonder if a fake phone mast, similar to a stingray, would be useful for locating people lost in the wilderness. If the person had a powered on phone, and the area was located qui…

    Maybe people are over critical but the service and experience of a meal is not to be ignored. I'm sure you would agree that if they literally threw the food at you it wouldn't dese…

    I'm not convinced. Your problem was not that your CSS was 340 KBytes, but the simple fact you were using 5 CSS frameworks. And if you start removing unused styles at random, any ti…
