We use Fastly (and our site is down too) but I asked them about this a couple of years ago. It is deliberate. They said it was so they can tell if it is their Varnish service or the customer's Varnish service that is…
That's OK then, if that's we all have to do to run any devices inside our LAN/home network. Want a NAS box for sharing family files/photos or some other IoT device at home? Just set yourself up some other device to run…
I actually bought this T-shirt for my daughter.It said: !false It's funny, because it's true!
Reading about this study and the experiences described in other comments, it seems the experiment is a bit limited in its scope. The effect of music depends on the person, the type of music (lyrics or instrumental -…
I always look for that - and the 'deny all' button. They do not have a 'legitimate interest' to track the hell out of me.
Out of curiosity, why do you blocks HTTPS when you otherwise seem very privacy conscious?
One of the reasons I don't switch to Firefox full time is that it (still, after many years) leaks memory. Use Task Manager to see how much RAM Firefox is using once it's been open a while.
I doubt many other people here are going to ditch Electron completely - the current 'favourite' dev tool is Visual Studio Code which is an Electron app. Even though Electron is actually a Microsoft supported platform, I…
TrustPilot has gone the same way. If you look in the clickbait at the bottom of lots of articles, you'll see one advertising a trick that every Android user should know. It takes you to a website at…
Though less serious, my wife has a similar problem with Amazon. She tried to review a product (first review for a very long time) and was greeted with this message: "! We apologize but Amazon has noticed some unusual…
The same problem happens with UK phone numbers, where the leading 0 gets chopped off Solvable if there's a space between the dialling code and the number, but when individuals enter their number, they don't always do…
In the UK, the shop Lidl was supposed to be pronounced Lie-del and I think that is how it is pronounced in Europe. But, everyone pronounced it with a short 'i' and now they've adopted that in adverts - 'Every little…
It's not a typo - it's 299,792,458 m/s - approx 300,000,000 m/s or 300,000 km/s
It doesn't seem though, from the story, that the 'OldTubers' group was exposed. It seems like the 'why' was more important than the 'how'
This is why I like to work at small businesses, where I'm either the only developer or one of just a few. Even with annual turnovers, through the website, of approaching $10million/year (in my current and last role)…
Just read Week 1 of this course - very easy to follow. Although with a different instructor, there are later versions - http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis194/fall16/ seems the most recent, with plenty of updates since the…
In that case, he must have been logged into Eve's account before he received the email. How did that happen?
In May, once GDPR becomes mandatory, we'll all be able to issue data requests to the likes of Facebook and Cambridge Analyitica etc, to find out just what they know about us. The requests are free, so with social media,…
Works really on Chrome on Windows 10, on a 3 year old laptop!
This is karma for the way they started their 'Windows Smartphone' project, aka 'Stinger' (their internal name). They partnered with UK-based Sendo, who should have been their go-to-market partner, until Microsoft nicked…
So, what wording would you have used?
Why would they charge? They get a placement fee based on a percentage of the starting salary. It's in their interest that the candidate gets the best deal possible.
