This new investigation is an analysis of data on the tea- and coffee-drinking habits of nearly 1m adults in Britain. Those who said they preferred their beverages “hot” or “very hot” rather than “warm”, it found, had an increased risk of s

Where you live there are also no autonomous cars either though. Car services can pop up much more quickly/easily. This is capitalism. If there's money to be made, people will make it! OK, if you live in an area where they don&#x27

It's sad we don't have a better way for people in these situations to do what they need without driving. It will be incredible to have autonomous driving just for older and or disabled drivers like this. We likely do. First and

My goal is to get more of this good DOS and early Windows educational software working for my children. FYI, you can play in the browser on Internet archive: /msdos_Super_Solvers_Spellbound_1993 That meets your stated goal. A more fu

I used to get the newspaper everyday before highschool. I mostly got it for sports, comics and puzzles, but many days I ended up reading it cover to cover. Unfortunately, that paper folded while I was in college. Hopefully, this is a good p

It's probably both, vis a vis negligence. I just wish it was treated as criminal negligence. This will continue as long as CEO's face no real punishment for mishandling PII.

I don't mind dumb ads (no tracking, etc), but it comes down to enshittification. Microsoft is making money at our expense .

Based on my interactions with Microsoft support, it makes me feel a little better that I get the same treatment as the CEO.

That would be on brand for The Economist.

That gets in the way of making money though.

This is what a steady diet of conservative, increasingly monopolistic, media does to a populace.

At least they think it's up since 2025. I wonder how this will inform their votes in November...

This is putting mildly. The most damning bit might just be that Republican voters saw all the corruption of Trump I and decided they wanted more.

In my experience, executives get special treatment.

We won't know without A/B testing, but I suspect aesthetics mean nothing here and, for example, someone isn't going to turn down playing GTA VI if the only button between them and the game says "purchase license" as

I don't go back quite to the 90s, but this has been true across my entire experience working in a few big multinationals (including one in tech). Companies will do what Wall Street wants (Wall Street likes layoffs), and at a certain le

A web search surfacing contemporary newspaper articles suggests this congestion charge was proposed, but never actually implemented .

This would be more interesting with video rather than audio, no? I guess it depends where your security cameras are. Are there options for that as well?

It's funny when an article takes a stand against an unsourced group of random anonymous people on social media. Anyway, (not just) Japan has a long history of art with a juxtaposition of the ancient and the modern. The prints are talke

It is what you make of it, you can just consume or take a creative role, but once the price/attendance ballooned ~20 yrs ago, they kinda changed their audience. You might have a local group that does similar things if you want to get a

We got into this mess long before this, when we decided it was ok to trade freedom at the hint of protecting children, without considering the actual merits of the situation. Look at the horsemen of the infoacalypse. Then we decided we shou

Lots of people in different places are pushing back on these things. Texas has a gubernatorial election coming up in November. We'll see if Texans are ok with surveillance or actually want to punish the people responsible and restore s

It's not about catalytic converters. It's about installing surveillance cameras and probably getting kick backs from flock.

People shouldn't be shocked that employees of the US government can deliver things ahead of schedule and under budget. The problems are that anyone gave Musk/doge the time of day and that we're too used to the president givin

I hear what you're saying, but there are issues when you continue the line of thought one step. Imposing Windows implies requiring agreements to unknown eula's at the time of purchase. Consider Windows is there in the first plac
