How meaningful is that in a society where political dissidence is suppressed?

This is clearly broken, it shows "3 blocked" even as uBO is reporting 89 requests to 34 different domains blocked. EDIT it's below the fold: "Some browser/blocker combinations may …

Sometime in the 2000s I started reading the RISKS Digest mailing list[1] from the beginning. I did it for fun - it's an interesting mix of fun anecdotes and lessons learned, and th…

It was blocked from inclusion in the AMD GPU drivers, it's nothing specific to Steam or the Steam Machine. The HDMI Forum apparently forbids any open source implementation of HDMI …

I was in the same boat and literally this week bought a Pixel 8. It's a 2 year old phone but with the extended support period that's no longer a problem, and being old means you ca…

> I'd love to know what the justification for replacing them in the first place was. There were two converging factors: number one is that there was a time where it was considered …

They don't need to expand capacity to fulfill this contract. They would want to expand capacity if they believed this increase in demand is long lasting - the implication is theref…

Truly, the writers of Yes Minister were documentarians. That line could have been straight out of the show.

They are, and that's exactly why music piracy fell off a cliff in the streaming era and movie/tv piracy didn't. "Piracy is a service problem" -- Gabe Newell

I've had something similar happen starting maybe a year ago, and varying in intensity from "no problem" up to "pegged CPU in the youtube tab and UI actions can lag up to several se…

I would like this too. This approach would also fix the most common failure mode of spelling checkers: typos that are accidentally valid words. I constantly type "form" instead of …

That would be plausible if the effect was only seen in one game, or a small handful. Instead it's happening across the board, with almost all games tested showing at least some gai…

The hacks paid off though. The cheapness made the Spectrum ubiquitous across whole swaths of europe. Not only was it the first computer of an entire generation, it was the first ge…

You mean the problem you describe in "Part 3" of the article? Damn it, now you've made me paranoid. I'll have to check the ELB logs for 502 errors during our deployment windows.

I'm not sure why they state "although the AWS Load Balancer Controller is a fantastic piece of software, it is surprisingly tricky to roll out releases without downtime." The AWS L…

And yet the quality of that channel is absolutely excellent, and the polar opposite of what the thumbnail clickbait suggests. I'd say it's on the same level of the Admiral Cloudber…

Agree. Over-balancing everything in single player games sucks out the fun. "Single-player" here is key - minutely perfect balancing is often a necessity in multiplayer games, and I…

I consider them noticeably above average. The problem is with the average.
