    There’s a huge fixed unclosable signup overlay at the bottom so the viewport is limited. Also the content is not scaled down so you have to pan on two axis. Some text is so long it…

    GitHub offers like 4 ways to do 2FA. On top of that, your browser or password manager can probably also generate OTP.

    Really you’re complaining you can’t plug in a 4th display into your computer? The fraction of the population who does can afford the Max, together with the 3 extra monitors. I’m no…

    > Some are forced into it. Judging by the calls I hear, I don’t give them that benefit at all. They sound pretty happy to scam the elderly. Maybe as a first-responder that could wo…

    For better or for worse, the category of “software that silently listens in on calls” is non-existent due to OS limitations. Generally sounds like a lot of work and computation for…

    Lucky you. My first shower in the US was sitting down in the tub splashing some water from the lower faucet.

    Yeah ok but you still need a ticket to board the truck/bus, right? The more people in your family, the more tickets. The issue isn’t charging for egress, but charging excessively.

    What’s wrong with Vice? The website loads fast and I don’t see any paywalls

    You make it sound like just because you want and write something it will get merged into a project. It doesn’t work like that. Maintainers have a million reasons to say no and I ha…

    Got it, so why not outlaw that? For all we know, they can continue doing what but not show us relevant ads. I suppose twitter knows nothing about me and shows me stupid gaming ads …

    What does it mean “they’re not meant for it?” I have money on it, some site accepts the card, it works, it worked. The limitation you’re suggesting is purely theoretical. In my spe…

    Unfortunately it’s not always as easy. Last year I tried to do a remittance of 3500€ and it failed on both a debit and credit card of my bank, blocking them. The bank called me to …

    Make sure you’re not visiting with a bookmark that includes the specific language code. I had a similar issue with some history item that would annoyingly point me to the previous …

    I am glad I found a bank (N26) that rarely if ever blocks my payments online. I travel frequently and my previous credit card would block all kinds of payments regularly. If possib…

    1) Pardon me if I’m wrong, but downgrade attacks will be possible for as long as HTTP-non-S is allowed. Browsers could support SSLv2 as long as they treat it as an insecure origin.…

    Your argument sounds right but also why use the more difficult tool if the simple one fits your needs? Use right tool for the job .

    Privately agreeing might be preferable in countries where these projects are useful.

    Nations die very rarely so this is probably up for discussion each time. I suppose it does become an issue when in 200 years a new country named Yurnia wants the .yu domain.

    A lot of people travel without research nowadays: book the flight, book the hotel, find everything out as you go. That's how I did my first trip to Japan and I felt like an alien.

    I wouldn't say normal, it depends on the size and availability at the hotel. I also left some baggage in Indonesia for a month, but the hotel was large and lax. In two other simila…

    What door? How did they know your address? I don't enter my address when flying. Maybe my miles card has it, but that feels far removed from the baggage handler's computers.

    A summary search appears to show that the game was riddled with bugs and that killed some momentum. Given the amount of copies sold, it was still probably a success.

    But technical debt slows everything down. I’ve seen first hand whole modules of a system ignored because nobody wanted to touch them. All the bugs in them can’t be fixed in 5 minut…

    The difference is that most countries don't expect the world to bow to them (culturally, technologically, etc). While I used Chinese products, I never had to learn how to spell my …
