It seems like Google starts having a pattern of working with scammers. First they disabled phone call recordings in Android or made it super difficult to enable, now you can't use …

I used youtube-dl to store various videos about vintage equipment repair. Sometimes authors take these videos down thinking that they are boring, rubbish and not useful, but they a…

Nation states can just buy the service instead of wasting time on "hacking".

The scary thing is that sometimes bad actors don't need to hack anything. They can just buy the service. Imagine if Saudi Arabia bought Grindr.

One would think that German companies exhausted all their luck, when they didn't even get a slap on the wrist for using forced labour during the WWII. Some didn't even apologize. Y…

Code doesn't seem to have any tests... o.O

Why do you need school to learn how to use the software? Isn't what manual and manufacturer resources is for? School should teach general knowledge about the topic so you should kn…

Execs went to prison? Seems like they didn't like to share with local politicians...

I for one hope that the Apples imported from New Zealand I buy I will get them cheaper. Hopefully we will get more products from around the world at affordable prices. EU economy i…
