It is a well-known description for what each brand calls something different. As I wait in a physiotherapist office I am being subjected to a soap opera against my will. Many will …

Kind of amazing that calling their product "Core 2 Duo" was considered their safe branding choice before this.

Search, music streaming, books: heavily consolidated markets where the value-based offering has supremacy (Google vs any paid search; Spotify/Apple Music vs Tidal; Amazon vs anythi…

You might be conflating capitalism (owning things like factories) with consumerism (buying things like widgets). If all of the factory owners discover a type of widget to sell that…

NPM will automate Let's Encrypt certificate generation but you're right about the other listed features.

I can go into an art gallery but I may not touch the works. Often there aren't physical barriers but we all understand some behaviours are not acceptable. Similarly, publication of…

This is easily solved. Particularly as industry is such a large contributor to GHG emissions, imposing a carbon tax on industry and possibly even allowing grandfathering allows the…

Why are you happy that people are out of a job here? You still suffer the ills of the product, now infinitely more incessant, at a marginal cost of $0.

At least one Australian law outlaws them https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/03/australia_out...

I wonder how this compares to using Discog's API [1] and searching by barcode with a USB barcode scanner. Almost all of my record covers have some sort of barcode on them and I fin…

It's not that ironic; it's a web page that contains far more information that one might expect in any but the largest of emails. The web is where the eyeballs are and nobody's goin…

Does paperless have the same support for workflows and indexes as Mayan? I use these two features heavily to automatically place documents into a hierarchy (eg payslips into their …

Some of the utility is that if you're on an IPv6-only connection that uses 464XLAT and are trying to connect to a host, DNS lookups are required for the 4-to-6 translation process.…

FreshRSS is brilliant. Its ability to fetch full pages, filter CSS elements and utilise session cookies from my browser make it very easy to get a full-text article from most websi…

At least in Australia, our national emergency broadcaster is primarily on AM. Commonly in bushfires, floods, etc, all other infrastructure can be knocked out in the initial moments…

The issue is that to satisfy this bill should it become law, the automakers will likely need to address the issue of high noise floors in electric vehicles. That is not something a…

At first blush I assumed it was an ad for Wikipedia and its invaluable ability to quickly educate people on ideas like the Coastline Paradox [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C…

You could nominate a number or bunch of numbers that you trust (possibly with the caveat of them having to be with the same carrier), any of which could validate a request for a ne…

I’ve never used a wheelchair ramp but don’t mind that buildings that I use have them. This move is just laziness by automotive manufacturers not wanting to address their negative e…

Interesting style of story-telling that seems to flips the chronology of the lie being told about time to fix (2 weeks) and the contractor being fired. Can't help but think if "Ell…

I visited the link to suggest some missing sites but received a modal I can't get rid of without accepting cookie tracking: Approve third-party cookies In development and staging i…

Not just this, but you will learn to read and anticipate traffic in a far deeper way, through the human survival instinct: a slight swerve foreshadowing a lane change before an ind…
