The killer feature missing from all those is group video chat. This is what Messenger offers and why I will never be able to move my family away from it unless there is an equally …

This seems the same story as Incredible Burger: take an existing alternative, jiggle the pieces a bit and invest a few million in marketing and celebrity endorsements. A silicon va…

What a nonsensical article. Such power of courts already exists, but it mostly boils down to US law as most of the platforms are in the US. Think about the debates on photos of bre…

It's even darker, after those two minutes it told me some advertisers can't receive the opt out by https so it wasn't actually submitted, and to follow another link. And then it di…

Try distance learning with your kids... Thanks to corona my printing has gone from 5pages/month to >30/day ;)

I've gone for an OKI office machine (MC532) for around 220€. Its a color laser printer and also exists with a scanner version. I have some issues with Linux printing via USB but vi…

Ubuntu with chrome and chromium tends to work fine, except for a bunch of copyright blocked Netflix shows.

They are doing so certainly across Asia, their methods are just a bit different and it's usually focused on ethnic Chinese dissidents. https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/03/29/the-disa…

As a European I prefer having Erikson and Nokia build our networks than unaccountable Chinese companies. 5G is a unique chance to get some tech sovereignty back as the two leaders …

Part of the Snowden revelations was that the German BND was also granting this access. The NSA sent so many keywords that the BND basically stopped checking, and looking at it in a…

The press release only talks about the methods, not the actual implications. To say everyone was surprised is also a bit odd as obviously some imagery was already accessible and yo…

But the data collection comes with safeguards to accesing the data. You need a court order to request it. This is not state ordered mass surveillance but rather gives police a righ…

No it gives the authorities the right to tap phones by e.g using 0 days.

It's not about mass surveillance, it's about court-ordered surveillance of individual suspected criminals. As someone said in another thread, it's like a wiretap.

I think by trying to find evil in their scheme you miss the pretty obvious business logic: - IKEA will only accept things in decent-ish condition and will (if necessary) refurbish …

But often you're not missing meaning but simply context. Shakespeare is not hard per se due to the language but because its based in a world that is alien to you.

All valid criticisms but especially the accusative critique misses that the language has unique features, such as the possibility to change word order pretty much freely, so you ca…

Now that the UK has left you can assume that the main working language of the institutions is Irish English, with the Irish parts rarely used.

This goes both ways. Writers clearly set things up that way in the hope this will put pressure for more episodes, but cliffhangers are just really bad writing done against rather t…

I like that Netflix has a few 'limited series'. 8-10 episodes and the plot is complete. Great! There was one about an amazon murder/tribes/... Thing for which this just works perfe…

It has the DDG logo at the top and speaks in "we" about DDG, not sure why it needs to be any more obvious.

I think its only bing, not Google. That said, both bing and ddg tend to give me similarly disappointing results. They just seem focused on the US and searching in any other country…

If you have saved your address home is always the first option, no need to type anything

Or do it like a normal human: fill the sink with hot water and a tiny bit of detergent, wash glasses and less greasy things first and for later dirty items (e.g. frying pan) rinse …

They certainly are going the right direction but manufacturers will always find a way to cheat. E.g. my Samsung washer (never again!) has an eco mode that runs 4 1/2h. No idea what…
