+1 That, and it works in mountainous areas like the Alps or Pyrenees, where you're lucky to have GPS and most definitely can't rely on 4G for Google Maps

48kHz makes alignment between video and audio so much easier. (I.e.: Lip synchronization after edits)

But presumably, you only include dependencies that you trust and those dependencies themselves do their trusting more strictly than you. Trust is built on vetting, signatures and r…

Or, as they say in AMD's case: they never miss a chance to miss a chance

There is little president for healthy industry being killed by bands of unionized workers. Charitably, one might think of rust belt car industry or Britain's mines and railways. Th…

I suppose this comes down to semantics. It's more grey than black and white. For instance, Russia doesn't send conscripts to fight in Ukraine. But it's hard to argue that soldiers …

True, they are not the same. But they probably feel similarly coerced into accepting an unfair deal. So yeah, the comparisons are hyperboles, but I totally feel why they're upset a…

You might ask the same about any exploitive relation. Why is there prostitution? Why are slaves doing work for their masters? Why are children going through our garbage in some dis…

A BLE tracker can't really broadcast very far itself, can it?! Isn't the problem that someone on board was using a phone with Bluetooth relay, gps and cellular enabled?

Wait. Wasn't AI supposed to alleviate the burden of legacy code?!

The technical term seems to be: entrapment . The war could have ended after the first few "successful" days. And still every day it continues, it becomes a little bit harder to bac…

Sad, but true. And if they had it their way, Oracle would have similarly strangled every last customer of Java, MySQL, OpenOffice, Solaris, etc. to squeeze out every last dollar. A…

So glad to no longer be working for these clowns

Not a subscriber, but I understand your call for retribution. I suppose the silver lining is that they are putting the responsibility for age verification adults. Which imo is bett…

This has those Hotmail migration vibes off the early 2000s.

And "a very limited number" may mean "though we pretend to be a big company, we have a limited number of customers and while they all pay licence fees, most are not actually using …

Fair enough, but they also have a deeply embedded New Public Management culture.

Very good point, though I believe it's both market push and consumer expectation. Because we have such limited control over our devices, they effectively provide the security of a …

To many users, an app seems to be perceived as the blessed way to access the web. While on a mobile, they are mostly a way to organize symlinks or bookmarks. Except, off course a w…
