No, I tried to be pretty clear that "at least one side got caught" is not always better than "nobody got caught" if corruption dictates who gets caught.

I understand that perspective to some degree, but imagine a hypothetical country with say, two parties in power, where prosecutors only crack down on white collar criminals if they…

Wireless Router or Wireless Router Technology is the common interpretation, but to my knowledge, Linksys has never officially confirmed this.

Sure, a common use of bread, potatoes, cabbage/other vegetables, hearty meat dishes etc but the Polish kitchen is closer to Ukrainian/Russian in technique/ingredients. Barszcz, pie…

I really want to like this, but does it bring anything new to the table? I see the same low-effort buzzwords I've seen on other "dumb" phones. And the design…it looks like a Motoro…

It is a rabbit hole. I just checked the latest release of GiMP (3.2.4). The "GiMP built-in sRGB" profile is supposed to be a functional match to the ArgyllCMS sRGB color space – th…

I'd bet my money on no. To my understanding, those hallucinations are basically brain-level disturbances in perception, where the brain does its best to fill in ambiguous activity …

That is really poorly worded by Apple, because if I understand it correctly, the "Files & Folders" list is just a list of apps that have requested Full Disk Access/FDA (or other lo…

Won't those cut right through the ANC just by volume alone? A domestic fire alarm is 85–120 dB, I don't think my airpods can mute that. And of course there will always be fringe ca…

I don't know… If I'm sitting at home or at a cafe working, I want my headphones to block all bicycle bells and ambulances on the street. Those in traffic could perhaps just turn th…

For anyone that wants to actually hear the bell before reading all the marketing material: Bell sound starts at 2:09 in the video.

That's what I was thinking too. A clock without any culture-specific aspects could just rely on astronomy. The most objective form of that would just be a progress bar, from zenith…
