You do realize you can buy DDR5 SODIMM from anywhere, right? Even if they didn't have it in stock for individual purchases, how did that force you to abandon the whole system? That's like throwing away your phone…
Not just "could be used in one", but age verification is the raison d'être for the introduction and existence of these fields. Not sure why some people pretend otherwise when it is obvious.
The problem isn't just getting something that works across all European countries. It's getting something that works globally. While we may make most of our payments within EU, basically everyone still occasionally pays…
Sounds similar to ignoring clearly fraudulent DMCAs. Technically you are not allowed to ignore one no matter how clearly fraudulent it is, but in practice no one would follow up on those.
The hard part about ditching Visa and Mastercard is keeping the ability to make international payments even outside of EU. If you still need Visa or Mastercard to buy anything from outside of EU, including any non-EU…
Why not both?
I thought it would be something like recompiling to utilize AVX512 capabilities or something.
Saying that something that has ~40% market share "doesn't matter" and the other thing that has ~60% is suddenly orders of magnitude more relevant sounds ridiculous.
Piracy isn't even the main use case of yt-dlp. It's archival of videos that you want to keep a copy of in case something happens to the video. There is literally no way to get that "feature" by paying Google. But you…
Even entertaining the idea is extremely disturbing and dystopian. Having control over what we watch and what we listen to should be basic human rights. And those are inalienable, meaning we can't sign away those rights,…
That's just personal preference. It works the other way around too.
The goal of Asahi Linux is to create a Linux distribution that is compatible with Apple devices. Using Rust is not a goal of the project, it's just something they decided to use due to personal preference, and is making…
There are Apple phones and there are Android phones, that's pretty much it. It's a duopoly. It is practically impossible for a third player to enter the market. This circular logic of "if Android does not offer enough…
What are you even talking about? The vast majority of hardware that can run Windows has no technical measures in place to prevent some other operating system from being installed. Windows itself does not prevent third…
Ah, can trust HN to always derail the topic whenever EU is mentioned. This has literally nothing to do with the subject matter of the article.
Because the phone market is a duopoly that was impenetrable for even Microsoft. This "why don't you just make your own Apple?" argument is ridiculous, it will not happen no matter how much you "encourage" it as a…
Why is this such a huge issue if it merely shows it's busy, but the performance of it indicates that it actually isn't? Switching to Linux can be a good choice for a lot of people, the reason just seems a bit odd here.…
The lack of awareness of this post is incredible. Apple is leveraging intentional incompatibility to make people use social pressure on each other to switch to Apple. That is not a good thing. This is a great example of…
If the consumer intentionally uses the affiliate links to support the creator, then they are deceived if someone else steals that cut. This would be similar to charity money being stolen by some third party - the…
I would argue that the consumer was deceived as well. People may click the links intentionally to also support the creators. They expect the affiliate money to go to that creator. Saying the consumer was not deceived…
The same way that uBlock Origin was built. Scams being the only way to make your product "profitable" doesn't validate the scams. That's like saying "I made a business offering to clean people's houses for free. Of…
Apple refusing to notarize it actually makes me want to use it more. That means Rossmann and his associates have got under Apple's skin enough that they would try to sabotage projects that he is involved with.
Do you also suggest never releasing any software for Linux because there is no megacorporation there policing what software you should and shouldn't run?
EU constantly does things the US hasn't - such as consumer protection laws. But HN response to that is always "oh no EU is bullying US companies".
We simply need the same that we have for music - the ability to legally purchase an offline digital copy that we can use on whatever device we want to. This is a completely solved problem. In essence, movies and TV…
