Sorry, I missed this - Quite simply my kidneys filter more than they're meant to, it's hereditary, as you've discovered. I've found that a cup of stone breaker tea once or twice a week keeps them at bay so that's we

I get one to two stones per year because my kidneys are over efficient. I'm fairly used to it now and can usually pass one with minimal discomfort, but every now and then it destroys me. The only beautiful thing about them is when they

I grew up with the ZX Spectrum, initially starting out with the ZX80 and 81 which I soldered together myself with the help of my equally clueless father. One of the most enduring and engaging aspects of the old micros is the inherent limita

You can continue to cast the blame for frankly abysmal state of cyclist safety in this country, meanwhile cyclists die with alarming regularity however many of those factors are in play.

I moved to the US a few years ago and have already lost count of how many cyclists wearing dark clothing and no lights on poorly lit roads I've nearly hit at night. I had to take a cycling proficiency test in the UK, here no one seems

I wish I'd thought of that, now I have bad handwriting and a plethora of D's.

The takeaway being that the Kirin line of CPUs is proving difficult to create a backdoor for.

For me worse than shark was ordering lamb and being served an entire sheep's head.

No. It's just that it's highly suspicious that anyone is making any type of mention of it at all.

It's the type of announcement that makes me wonder if they had the chip makers incorporate it specifically for them to exploit.

If improving stability was the intention, why haven't they ever warned anyone that it would make their expensive, perfectly functioning phone relatively useless? Nothing about their reason rings true. If it were the case then why didn&

I wouldn't even know my own neighbourhood as well as I do without Google maps. One of, if not the single most impressive digital feats freely available to all on the internet.

This seems like a last gasp attempt to tighten the monopoly, and it's doomed to fail. If nothing else, this will set the wheels in motion to bypass the established ISPs altogether, whether it's via node distribution or banking on

Hah. You're not wrong about calling it a downgrade. Absolutely everything I've tried has been a downgrade from pebble. It's as if everyone is deliberately avoiding what was, for me at least, perfection.

Someone posted a proof of concept a year or two ago on reddit.com/r/pebble Beyond that I don't know any specifics.

It lasts up to 10 days on one charge and the app has been decentralised, meaning it's not reliant on external servers.

by dirtbox 9y ago
Which, from your point of view, isn't a bad thing. It's no longer dependant on external servers, yet still enjoys a lot of support, is easy to code for, plus it's superb as smart watches go. Charging 3 times a month rather th

Pebble. Someone installed linux on one and they're extraordinarily cheap to pick up now.

This is an incredibly US-centric way of looking at it, the rest of the world really doesn't have the same problems as the US in any of these areas. I lived in Berlin for a time and many places in the UK and around Europe and really non

It makes sense to do this on the mobile browser, trying to get around the net can be horrific on a phone, not to mention the data useage. Ublock and so on already have the desktop sewn up.

The camera surveillance stuff hasn't been true since the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 when much of it was scrapped. I'm not sure I've never heard of surveillance vans on every block though, that's certainly not true.

As I understand, the FPGA is to interface the Z80 with the raspberry pi that's onboard to include extra graphic modes and HDMI output, but I could well be wrong. There's a lot of unanswered questions about its inner workings, but

You could use this same palette flicker on the speccy to remove the attribute clash and create new colours, I remember someone demoing a more or less pixel perfect version of Super Mario World, albeit with a black background. The spectrum w

I was under the impression that it was never meant to succeed as a business, it was merely a proof of concept. That despite the lobbying and stalling tactics of national ISPs, progress could still be made to improve infrastructure despite t

Entered the network, manipulated data, created misinformation, use social engineering tricks and tried to control stock pricing. When you have a platform only accessible to the elite, it makes the possibilities extremely tempting.
