I’m a vegan. I don’t longer eat meat because I find industrial farming repugnant and environmentally problematic, not because I suddenly dislike the flavor. I grew up with meat on my plate and liked it. Now I use…
Even better, why don’t we just get rid of the unwieldy acronyms altogether and simply refer to them as “major tech companies”? It’s clearer and avoids the constant reshuffling every time the market shifts.
I have one that I use for my grad school studies almost exclusively as an e-reader for textbooks and a notepad. I could similarly just invest in a cheap e-reader device and a physical notepad and it wouldn’t disrupt my…
The last Android phone I owned was the Samsung Galaxy S8. After barely two years of owning it, Samsung announced that they were no longer providing major Android version updates to the phone. That’s what pushed me into…
So prompt engineers could be promptsmiths?
Depending on the extent to which surveillance and state control become embedded, it may require the advent of the Second American Republic to achieve their dissolution.
I could see how the legacy of the Stasi in East Germany could contribute to an anti-surveillance sentiment.
This reminds me of those trashy articles like the ones Microsoft peddles on their Windows 11 widgets tab. They basically take a few tweets with just a handful of likes and create an entire article around them. The buzz…
I just replaced the credit card on my up my account with a Privacy.com virtual debit card with a monthly spending limit for that card equal to my bill. It seems to still be giving me the AutoPay discount but I’ll wait…
Custom ROMs? GrapheneOS or LineageOS come to mind.
I see this link on the Blizzard support site that provides downloads to classic D2 and LoD but I haven't tested them out to see if they ask for a CD key or not. https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/13867
The story is that they’re no longer allowing you to get the AutoPay discount with a credit card so you’ll have to set up AutoPay with a debit card or bank account by May to continue to receive the discount.
This follows on the unpopular news story that T-Mobile will be requiring you to give them your debit card or bank account information to continue to qualify for their Autopay discount.…
Good point. I believe Opera Ltd., the company that develops the Opera web browser, was bought out by a Chinese company a few years ago. I would figure that the amount of browser data that could potentially be…
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is fairly popular at the company I work for and they've been an IBM acquisition since 2019.
It seems that limiting new headline software features to the latest hardware release is the direction that Apple is going lately. The most recent examples that comes to mind are the always-on display in the new iPhone…
I hadn't been paying much attention but I believe this occurred after Marty made his statement on Reddit but before Mick released his own.
Out of curiosity, how visible is the President of Germany in the media and everyday life? Are the doings of the President talked about and reported on? As an outsider from the United States, I'm aware that you have one,…
Reminds me of an SMBC comic on "Quantum Hypocrisy": https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/gedankendouche
I'd like to give kudos to Apple for including the iPhone 5S in this security update, which was released on September 20, 2013, over 7 years ago! Supporting a product for even 3 years is rare in the smartphone world.
On that note, Bing doesn’t serve AMP links on its mobile search results, which was a driver for me to switch over.
A positive aspect of Apple’s model is that it’s impossible for a malicious ad to trick an unsuspecting user into sideloading malware on their device.
I wonder if Google Play Books pulls down works with that phrase included within.
There's an app on the Google Play Store called "Stay Focused" that allows you to set time limits for individual apps and block the app for the remainder of the day once the time limit is reached. While I could go…
I've found that Lingvist is pretty good at spaced repetition. It focuses on hammering in the words I don't pick up quickly, but it still reviews all of the vocabulary it offers pretty regularly.
