The problem is a Faraday box only attenuates signals. And it usually does not attenuate all frequencies identically. So your test may seem successful, but the box not be enough clo…

Indeed. That's one of the reasons why the "Before Present" time scale (that uses 1/1/1950 as the epoch) is sometimes called "Before Physics" (another one being that 1950 is less an…

Just received mine. Sure, the interface is far, far slicker than what is available on the Librem 5, but there are already hints of "you are not really the owner of the device" (for…

Indeed. When publishing in a scientific journal, you usually (have to) give them an exclusive licence on your article.

Be aware that genetic algorithms are a type of evolutionary algorithms: Do you actually want to learn about genetic algorithms specifically, or more generally about evolutionary al…

Some Linux distributions (Debian for instance, so probably most Debian-based ones too) have sets of legacy drivers for older nvidia cards.

At the same time, EU mandates that new cars must have a system able to call help if it detects a crash with the driver not responding... And I suspect most manufacturers will argue…

Good luck having people forward an email a) with headers and b) in a way that doesn't break the signature...

They are common in France, but not in such packages: There are restrictions that prevent you from buying more than than 8g/day (theoretically at least, I don't believe they are str…

Probably. When available, reader mode can also be activated by clicking the little "page with text" icon on the right of the address bar.

From your PoV maybe. I would be restless knowing that I may be silently losing important emails because they triggered some blackbox filter in such a way that they didn't even end …

The point is that fetchmail doesn't need an admin once it is configured.

> Ë with diaeresis is the easiest case to deal with. The diaeresis (the two dots) signifies that the underlying “e” is pronounced as /ɛ/ (as “e” in “bet”, i.e. the open e), no matt…

I believe it is the same project that was discussed here a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47385935

It does indeed, yet if the review makes it clear that the text of a book is not at fault, that the crappy print on demand edition is the issue, it should not matter too much. It wo…

> The current solution? Just return the item. Yes, and write a low stars review explaining the problem. Returns alone don't hurt future sales of identical items.

Good point! It shows that the settlements are far too low and that the victims should get a lot more. If a few cities/states were to default due to debts coming from such cases, th…

IIRC, it is nerfed out. It is more open core than actual open source, and the paywalled features of the online version are missing.
