    double-O says it's not going to reach Birmingham. Word is it will be scrapped. I would have Kim Johngson, Goodun Broon, Warmonger Bliar et al replant every tree they dug up along t…

    Here's an idea: (medium-complexity) port of android to TCB which partitions /hardware/ (cpu-cache, RAM), on a per app basis. Android's app-based permissions API doesn't require too…

    Now more than ever a truly independent alternative to Google is needed; (with its aims to improve from what Google left behind circa 2016). Is anybody aware of a search engine whic…

    When you say 'any of that data', you are incorrect. Simply to function (voice recognition) the echo microphone is constantly on, in the same way that any input device needs to be o…

    How is it a "colossal failure"? Amazon has tens of millions of these devices which are a 24/7 microphone, and with the wireless transceivers even more data-collection capabilities.…

    All this musk-style motivation 101 BS is direct from the CIA's manual on domestic espionage - frustration from within. The means define the ends. If you treat people like shit, or …

    Who competes with Walmart in the USA? Here we have: Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Aldi, Lidl, Waitrose, M&S. In the UK nearly all towns have at-least 2 supermarkets, and mos…

    In the UK most towns have at-least 2 large supermarkets in the town, and within 20 minute cycle-drive at-least another 3. In the UK, there is choice between: Asda, Tesco, Morrisson…

    Reported by the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-63301143 'Shop for insurance, the Amazon way'. If it's as bad as Amazon's existing product search, I certainly won't be.

    For many searches I use site:reddit.com, because Google's results have declined massively since the easy-days of 2015; Reddit has a large userbase and I can find what I'm looking f…

    What is the problem if I call you a rapist? Perhaps it's because it's deceptive, dishonest & undermines trust. Unless of-course you don't care about such things, then what's the pr…
