1. Thank you. 2. I said "iOS devices are just not suitable for browsing the internet as we know it I'm afraid." I know it is hyperbolic. This is called rhetorical style and I used it to communicate my irritation with the st

Yes, same here. iOS devices are just not suitable for browsing the internet as we know it I'm afraid. I will get another device for internet browsing on the go just because this is so annoying. Not even on iPad where you kind of have

Please do not feel offended by my words but I would never ever use a service like this. The question in most cases in my opinion is not "will there be a data breach?" but when it will occur. Leaving this kind of data on some serve

Just use a temp / fake address then ;-p

Thank you but not thanks! This is another step into the AMZN hell where many and their data will be held hostage decades from now if they only rely on their services. They kill FOSS business models and try to lure you into their vendor lock

Because there is no such countries until someone can prove otherwise (which will not happen because they don't exist). Big capital put this idea inside the heads of many people living in the West and until today they really believe the

1:0 for Capitalism vs. Humanity. Exactly this is why the motivation to do at least some things should not be bound to earning profit. There is common goods that we need to share, global issues that need to be addressed together and we need

> These kinds of posts always focus on the complexity of running k8s... Yes but that is also the worst already that you could criticize about k8s. Complexity is dangerous because if things are growing beyond a certain threshold X you wil

Installing AoE worked but I am afraid I could not start it :-/ It demands graphics with directdraw and will not start. How did you get Halflife running?

So here is my journey with UTM: 1. Install UTM - harder than I thought now because of Apple enforcing very strict app signing rules etc. (why can't they just let us run our own code without paying or hacking? Ò.ó) - jailbreak with chec

> people like their locked ecosystems and are not willing to invest in interop I don't think this is true or fair. Competition in capitalism is the reason companies create ecosystems like this in the first place (and also different

Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I am about to test it. I have already installed it successfully and it opens without crashing (iPad Air 2, iOS 13.3, unc0ver jailbreak) - so far so good ;-) I will report back when I tried to in

Classic whataboutism - congratulations. This was not supposed to insult you so sorry if you work there O.o

It is nice of you to tell Apple engineers about it that way but they will probably change it any way. When Apple sees an opportunity to market their own stuff they will push competition out of business (even if there is no business at all).

I recommend an iterative approach: Plan -> Do -> Evaluate -> Change plan accordingly -> Do... With limited space you will not have a high yield so planting potatoes etc. will not be that "profitable". If you like to us

Thank you for sharing this with us and good luck with your next idea!

Like in other business domains this is a "make or buy" decision. To decide of course you need enough data about the situation at hand: - initial costs - keep system running costs - other pro/con items like "availability&

YMMD :D I wonder when the day will come that humanity overcomes these issues without the need to convert values between several systems all the time.

Because the comma reaches below the baseline of the line and therefor better visually separates the two parts of the representation.

I am pretty sure they did not as most wealth is inherited AFAIK. Here a snippet of an interesting article on this[0]: "Yet the opportunity to live the American dream is much less widely shared today than it was several decades ago. Whi

Exactly. I like it because it is one quick phrase to describe this way of using your good connections.

I'll do it for half $1m/year! ;-P You are totally right about the "golden parachute". The nice thing about being in upper management is that none of your decisions has any negative consequences for yourself and in the en

Fake it until you make it ;-) That reminds me of all the "AI power" we already use which is backed by low-wage contract workers who listen in.

Here[0] is an interesting article of someone who got the x62 and then upgraded to the x210. He bought it from 51NB (China) and exactly describes how the buying process including returns and repairs could be improved upon by locating stores&

The new models including the one you bought are not really much of the original TP anymore. There is still people who love the old one's because of the excellent keyboard and the tough shell while the new models have bad keyboards and

I agree! It would be awesome to see more stuff like: - BIOS with core/libreboot[0] - mainboard replacement (e.g. to support USB 3) [1] - better screens [2] - something to deal with that awful touchpad There is already people out there

This is the gap between theory and practice. When you study you will learn a lot of stuff that seems useless for a Software developer at his daily job. When you only know practice you will be able to use the tools but probably do not unders

I like the idea but I do not understand why someone would want something self-managed/hosted and then use AMZN SES to send/receive mail and S3 to save mail/attachments. 1. AMZN has access to your mail (inc. your contacts) so

I am afraid I also need to pay 100$ for the license to use certain features because if an app uses them I cannot even compile. Recently I tried to compile blink[0] without a paid account and failed miserably. Yes they also did a great job w
