Hah, oh no, if they (practically) ghosted q3k, then most of us have no chance.

It's even worse than that. Scammers are sending messages through booking.com, so you get a message from the hotel, in your booking.com inbox, with a link to a payment site that jus…

I've been using F3 to test new SD cards: https://github.com/AltraMayor/f3 I think it does practically the same thing as your method.

Doesn't seem that you can get these for 300 EUR anymore, or am I missing something obvious?

Hey, thanks for the post. I was going to migrate some of my mailboxes to Zoho (ones that mostly receive netflix receipts and junkmail), can you elaborate about lack of unicode supp…

Sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voices_of_a_Distant_Star

I don't think that was always the case. Recently I was googling my name and I found out I have bunch of Trello boards for various student projects that I completely forgot about (t…

Oh, wow, this is exactly how I dream as well. I could never have expressed this, though! Thank you for that post. I always wonder how "real" do dreams feel for people who dream luc…

Sometimes, when Slack e-mails me that someone has mentioned me in a channel, and in the e-mail there is content of the message, I have a brief thought of "how do they know-... oh".…

Regarding (2), there are some MMORPGs that went with this approach, producing hilarious results, obviously - talk about cheat programs allowing players to teleport monsters around …

Bought a Toyota SUV few years ago, they promised CarPlay update as well. Not that I believed that it would ever come, but still :|

If you mean client performance in general, I never had problems with that, it's just the connection to the server overseas was not that great. I have my own dedicated server in Eur…

Crashplan worked well for me, sometimes I have to restore a file that I overwrite or that ends up being corrupted because of buggy (in-house) software and I never had any problems …

Can you elaborate how Arq is buggy? I'm considering switching to Arq from Crashplan, because I supply my own storage for it anyway.

I have an invoice generation script that outputs html, and I unfortunately have to open it in Chrome and "print to pdf" manually. If you control styling, you can usually set it to …

Thank you, I've just realized how... different (to not say "awful"...) it is in US after reading more comments here. To be honest sometimes I'm anxious when my bill ends up some nu…

View on Europe on HN seems to be a little skewed. We have tipping here as well, maybe not to the same extent as in US, but it's definitely present. Even sandwich or coffee places w…

I wonder why this is getting downvotes. There is a lot of insight about the situation in the linked comment.

I'm using CrashPlan and I have recovered multiple files over past couple of years, that I either mistakenly deleted or overwritten. I haven't tried any full-scale restore, yet, tho…

Also [1], which relies on watermarking audio of content, which then can be detected by hardware players and the playback can be stopped if it discovers that e.g. you play a BluRay …

They also offer bare metal x86 servers at very affordable prices as well! If anyone needs something like this, try Kimsufi (OVH brand) [1]. Atom based servers for as low as 5 eur/m…

I didn't know about the discounts when paying with CC. A lot of shops here offer discounts when paying with cash. It violates rules of card processing companies - or rather, they w…

In Europe, it's much easier to get debit than credit. You get debit card for any bank account you own, and sometimes it will even be free of charge. Even for accounts in different …

Agreed 100%. Is there any browser extension to help with that? I can imagine it might be hard to do because `onscroll` may have legitimate uses. Maybe at least something that would…

I think this is for Makefiles...
