I had written a toy social network a few years back the past which had these features - It worked very much like an encrypted version of usenet. This is probably my bias as an engi…

This is wonderful. Not sure if the submitter is the one who made this, but thank you for making it and/or submitting it. These sort of code-as-art projects always make my day brigh…

You're talking about people. Regardless of if they are annoying you, you shouldn't try to treat this like a pest-control situation. I urge you to re-think your position, with the u…

Its OSS. The language is good to know for anyone who might be interested in assisting.

That's an amusing example. You are aware that Google scrapes almost every page on the internet, without having any agreement with most of them, right? Yes, you can add noindex and …

This was my favorite game of 2019, and if it had mandatory telemetry like that I would not have played it. If it were opt-in, it could be used well however, similar to what the Tel…

If he's using an up-to-date browser and a firewall it feels like the practical risk is relatively low. What remote exploits are you concerned about in that scenario? Where it would…

A) We should stop putting devices that are in the home onto the internet. If you want to have a security camera, keep it limited to the local network only. B) People need to stop h…

It isn't trivial for most people to buy a 55" computer monitor.

What a silly attitude. It is almost certainly /possible/, but most people in a position to do so haven't thought it was worth the amount of effort involved.

Discounting someone's complaint because "This isn't new" isn't helpful. It doesn't need to be new to be a problem - Writing an article about it to raise awareness is a good idea. C…

It doesn't solve the immediate problem, but once enough people are using chips you could disable the ability to do old-style magstrip transactions (or at least flag them for manual…

Because I don't want anything to try to reflow the text, or adjust the kerning, or modify to use system fonts. There are great systems for those already. When I want a PDF, it's be…

That's exactly what I like about it. My ideal PDF is essentially a PNG file with selectable/searchable text. It's a great WORM format. Every added feature makes it worse.

I agree that buying "dumb" TVs is preferable, but they're often hard to find if you're looking for high-end features. To quickly include the comments which often come up in similar…

Supposedly it's being designed around Valve's index controller, letting you grip and manipulate objects in the game. Ars describes a set of Magnet Gloves which can pull stuff towar…

I'd love to hear who you use for your mail processor. I have tried a couple of them over the years, but haven't always had the best results.

I know iOS requires permission granted in an app when it tries to use the microphone, and I presume Android does similarly. I would imagine to do such tracking, you'd need to have …

I love NPR. I'm glad they're doing well, and hope they will continue to make quality programs. But one of the major advantages which has set them apart for me is that they aren't a…

I insist on a manual, and have declined to buy cars I otherwise liked because they didn't make a manual transmission model. I don't have a lot of experience with fully electric car…
