    My city is covered by a low emissions zone so the odd van polluting sticks out. I was in Athens recently and the pollution from so many old rough cars was so noticeable (and quite …

    That's exactly how it usually happens in my experience. I think a lot of people are OK if everyones upright on short haul flights (here most budget airlines don't have a recline fa…

    That may be true but doesn't help if not accepting the terms prevents you from using the device. On a practical level you then at best have a battle to get a third party (the retai…

    Be careful saying things like that or you'll get [flagged] - discussion of what seemed an incredibly important subject is forbidden on here it seems.

    There is a new function available in their app which does similar (i.e allow for proof of posting from a postbox). They've also been pushing collection by postman too. It saves a t…

    Some fair points, but some 'crap data' has storage requirements orders of magnitudes from each others. One short video can equal a year worth of emails for someone. Similarly those…

    Good call, I've been meaning to try it for a while. It feels a bit like ~25 years ago when Yahoo was this bloated do everything company with a bad search engine and someone showed …

    I understand all the usual caveats of no expectation of privacy in public but this is very much slippery slope stuff. Say on the metro sitting opposite someone. If they pulled out …

    The problem I find is with the backhaul rather than the 5G signal. I can still get unreliable internet with a strong 5G signal. Even today I find for general internet browsing is g…

    There seems to be a bit of a preoccupation with federated identity and linking communities but the lack of that is what I like about forums and web communities back then. I don't n…

    I know the article sort of touches on it but I only recall WAP as being a sort of mark up language akin to a mobile HTML rather than a network layer protocol. My old site (probably…

    Yeah, I also struggled with the purple box - I assumed I'd change the options, click run and it'd reload the data accordingly. Almost quit before I realised you have to build and t…

    I'd have thought the website owner whitelisting their RSS feed URI (or pattern matching *.xml/*.rss) might be better than doing it based on the users agent string. For one you'd ex…
