    They probably should at least update it -- I don't think a government should recommend free VPN services. Too many of them are a form of botnet, malware, ddos, etc.

    I think the target of the anger here should be (at least in part): OneDrive. My understanding is that a modern, default onedrive setup will push all your onedrive folder contents t…

    In the sci-fi film Arrival (also based on a short story), humanity are kind of like irresponsible young students. If we get past our focus on war/conflict/us vs them perhaps we can…

    It's not new, and some people would disagree on some minor elements -- but a good place to start was regularly this blog from approximately Matasano/NCC Group members, called Crypt…

    It doesn't need a small number -- rather it relies on you being able to find a pairing amongst any of your candidates, rather than find a pairing for a specific birthday. That's th…

    I view this a little like those Nigerian prince email scams. True or not, once upon a time I heard that they deliberately did not fix the obvious spelling and grammatical errors in…

    This is a good comment! But I'll add that many classical learners use tab, and I think there's absolutely no shame there. The music is what counts, and I think rarely would someone…

    I watched the lecture and did not find it compelling. It was a very literal interpretation, discussed alongside the evidence presented in the text of what was and wasn't more or le…

    I would love a way to regularly discover and watch some top, 'hit' TV shows or movies from outside of America or Australia (my home country), or sometimes England. I have no issues…

    I'd love for a half half solution here. Where the phone collects notifications silently for an hour, then if there are any meeting the "alert" bar, it just buzzes or tones on the h…

    I clicked this by accident, but then read the full thing after noticing the author was Matt Levine! I'm sure there are other readers here who might appreciate his knowledge and wri…

    Lovely design. Just a quick note to say that here in Australia, people are coffee crazy and would probably find a home for your kit. That includes individuals at home, but also caf…

    Maybe this isn't the best place for feedback, but I was inspired to give this a go. Sadly it didn't work out. First error was: sh: line 1: Application: command not found By visitin…

    I do enjoy some of the podcasts mentioned in this thread, but struggle to find good non-American ("foreign"?!) podcasts to listen to. Similarly to finding good quality non-US film …

    It's interesting how this (and other css?) means the website is readable in a phone in portrait, but the text is tiny in landscape!

    I recently bought a TV (HiSense) after a very quick bit of research about the dimensions and the fact that it had GoogleTV as the OS. Unfortunately for me, the operating system for…

    I've been on the third side of this story -- the emergency responder side. Just wanted to say, thanks for looking out for your friend and housemate and making a difficult decision.…

    I'd love for this thing to be feature-flexible enough to use it for the exact opposite: running TV/screen/videogame timer for the kids! Looks great, love the dial/switch big button…

    In addition to the appendix, my go to example of this is my friend's favourite organ: the Thymus [1]! If you've heard of "T-Cells" you indirectly know about it. The interesting thi…

    One thing that strikes me about this work, and Hokusai's other very popular wood block prints, is that he was a total perfectionist. He would get things juuuust right, with the col…

    My open tabs constitute a much smaller percentage of my total browsing than the history, even though there's useful stuff in both. Speculating (extrapolating?) for someone who keep…

    I guess for those not sure of the context: The user Jia Tan added exploit code to the 'xz' tool as part of a larger deal. Wikipedia has a page on it here [1]. In this post, they ar…

    That's an incredible idea -- I should chase down the 3 or 4 libraries near me and see if they have a 3d printer. If they have one, the staff there are probably quite keen for visit…

    I love these projects but when I have had a need for a display at home, I struggled to find a case! Small displays complete with a case, that was also slim and of decent material, …

    In Australia in 2022, a very large institution had a breach of private records [1]. That same year they made $590 million profit. Today the Office of the Australian Information Com…
