Sorry, I missed this - Quite simply my kidneys filter more than they're meant to, it's hereditary, as you've discovered. I've found that a cup of stone breaker tea once or twice a …

I get one to two stones per year because my kidneys are over efficient. I'm fairly used to it now and can usually pass one with minimal discomfort, but every now and then it destro…

I grew up with the ZX Spectrum, initially starting out with the ZX80 and 81 which I soldered together myself with the help of my equally clueless father. One of the most enduring a…

You can continue to cast the blame for frankly abysmal state of cyclist safety in this country, meanwhile cyclists die with alarming regularity however many of those factors are in…

I moved to the US a few years ago and have already lost count of how many cyclists wearing dark clothing and no lights on poorly lit roads I've nearly hit at night. I had to take a…

I wish I'd thought of that, now I have bad handwriting and a plethora of D's.

The takeaway being that the Kirin line of CPUs is proving difficult to create a backdoor for.

For me worse than shark was ordering lamb and being served an entire sheep's head.

No. It's just that it's highly suspicious that anyone is making any type of mention of it at all.

It's the type of announcement that makes me wonder if they had the chip makers incorporate it specifically for them to exploit.

Here's the page for all who wondered. https://image.prntscr.com/image/KDuFv8gRQYeLJG3pO8wwmQ.png Within the context of the prior and subsequent pages, it appears to be talking abou…

If improving stability was the intention, why haven't they ever warned anyone that it would make their expensive, perfectly functioning phone relatively useless? Nothing about thei…

Even more impressive, when in satellite view hold control, click and drag upwards.

I wouldn't even know my own neighbourhood as well as I do without Google maps. One of, if not the single most impressive digital feats freely available to all on the internet.

This seems like a last gasp attempt to tighten the monopoly, and it's doomed to fail. If nothing else, this will set the wheels in motion to bypass the established ISPs altogether,…

To be fair, the first season of TNG fared worse. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/star_trek_the_next_generat... https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/star_trek_discovery/s01

Hah. You're not wrong about calling it a downgrade. Absolutely everything I've tried has been a downgrade from pebble. It's as if everyone is deliberately avoiding what was, for me…

Someone posted a proof of concept a year or two ago on reddit.com/r/pebble Beyond that I don't know any specifics.

It lasts up to 10 days on one charge and the app has been decentralised, meaning it's not reliant on external servers.

Which, from your point of view, isn't a bad thing. It's no longer dependant on external servers, yet still enjoys a lot of support, is easy to code for, plus it's superb as smart w…

Pebble. Someone installed linux on one and they're extraordinarily cheap to pick up now.

This is an incredibly US-centric way of looking at it, the rest of the world really doesn't have the same problems as the US in any of these areas. I lived in Berlin for a time and…

It makes sense to do this on the mobile browser, trying to get around the net can be horrific on a phone, not to mention the data useage. Ublock and so on already have the desktop …

The camera surveillance stuff hasn't been true since the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 when much of it was scrapped. I'm not sure I've never heard of surveillance vans on every b…
